most impressive manner, showing
the Importance of keeping the Sab

beautiful solo. The convention
sermon was preached by Rev. Hinch
from Prov. 1925 "There is a way
that seemeth right" 1t was a treat
to hear this eloquent sermon. He
spoke of the wonderful work of mod
ern invention; how beautifully we
could use them to the glory of God,
showing the golden opportunities
that are afforded us if we would only
accept them. Then came the noon

was suggested that the Sunday

a means of soul saving, showing the
of bringing the little ones
to Christ while their hearts are
young and tender. T. C. Callicott
then conducted Sunday school in
the old-fashioned way, which was
very impressive, followed by an ad-
dress by Rev. w. H. McLeskey on the
Sunday school literature.
Rev. Bryant, pastor host, made
some closing remarks in which he
expressed his appreciation to Rev. G.
w. Evans and his congregation at
Shady Grove for calling in his ap-
and assisting in the con-
vention in such substantial way.
1t was day well spent in Sunday
school work and enjoyed by all.
