Winchester is very near the
center of the state with several
roads passing thru it. There are
not many points in Kentucky
that can be reached so easily ];
Begin now to make plans to be
at the convention. Do not be
satisfied in just having one per-
son from your school, but have
ten or twenty. At the state con-
vention of Indiana last month
there were nearly three thousand
delegateS present. Several Sun
day schools had over one hun
dred delegates and a great many
schools had from twenty-five to
fifty. Not only do you and your
school need the convention. but
the convention needs you. Come
to the convention with the ex-
pectation of hearing many things
that will be helpful to you III
| your own work and with the in
tention of learning some new
plans that YOU can take back to
lsykour school.
