The Blue Earth county annual
Sunday school convention for 1928
was held at Vernon Center June
and 10 in the Baptist church on
Saturday and the Methodist church
on Sunday. The weather was any
thing but favorable, but neverthe-
was held. Indeed, the writer has
heard a number OF interested per-
sons make the remark that this was
the best convention ever held in the
county. The program for the vari-
GUS sessions which was published
last week, was followed out very
closely with the exception that the
state secretary Mr.. Garrison took
Mr.. P. A. Lang's place. Mr.. Garrison
IS becoming well known IN the
county as hard, conscientious
worker and a very interesting ana
instructive speaker People were al
so delighted and greatly benefited
in the solution Of their Suncay
school problems by Miss Mabel Bal
lev, who gave four splendid addres
ses. Miss Bailey has been connected
with Sunday school work in Mime
sofa less than a month, but she has
had wide experience in other states

work in this state will take great
strides as a result Of her enthusi-
astic and untiring work. The follow
