C0L0RED METHODISTS
Win HONORS IN GREAT
SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY
Near Eight Thousand Persons Went
To Sunday School on Statewide
School Day-Colored Church
Leads List.

Maysville and Mason county enjoy
ed great Sunday school day Sunday.
The weather was ideal and the peo-
pie turned out as never before to do
honor to the great Sunday school
movement While a few churches
failed to reach the goals set the coun-
ty as a whole made a much better
showing than any previous year. The
palm of victory this year goes to our
colored Methodist friends at Scott M.
E. church, Fourth street. This school
had S20 in attendance. Evidently they
are hustiilg set. 1t takes hustle to
win and they are surely deserving Of
honorable mention. Hilldale led the
county schools with 1876. They had a
fine program and most delightful
day. Hundreds of visitors were in at
tendance in the various schools and
judging from expressions Of approval
many Will become regular Sunday
school attendants hereafter. The fact
is one cannot really appreciate the
pleasure of Sunday school going I'M
til he has formed the habit-no keep
ing one away then. Next Sunday is
Mothers Day" and should be made as
big day as yesterday. Try it again
and see If it isn't just as good.
The next even of Importance and
interest in Sunday school circles will
be the district conventions to take
place Sunday afternoon May 21st at
Orangeburg Helena, Sardis, German
town, and Dover. The programs for
these conventions are about ready for
publication. The best Sunday school
talent that the county affords will be
at these conventions. The aim is to
have every school in the county repre-
sented at the convention of their dis
trict.
