To Hear Nationally known Lead
erS

In last weeks issue of this paper
an article concerning the fifth an
nual convention Of the Pierce County
Sunday Schoo, Association, which
will be held in Prescott Saturday
October Is, emphasized the fact that
there would be wealth of helpful
suggestions and inspirational talks
given by the successful workers in
our own county. Year by year, an
increasing amount of live, strong
workers come to light. In addition
to this gratifying announcement, we
are privileged to state that never be-
fore, in any like meeting in this
county, have the Sunday School
workers had an opportunity to hear
as many nationally recognized lead
ers in religious education.
DIR. M. A. Honline, Pasadena
Foremost among such leaders is
DIR. M. A. Honline, Pasadena. For
several years, DR.. Honline was
Dean of the Department of Religious
Education of Benebrake College
Dayton. More recently he has been
a field worker for the Educational
Department of the international
Sunday School Council CT Religious
Education, going into all parcs of the
country, and through this service
making a splendid contribution TO ohe
cause of Religious Education A
year ago, DR.. Honline was one of the
outstanding speakers at the State
Sunday School Convention held in
Baraboo. Pierce county representa-
tives heard DIR. Honline at that time
and they tell us that to hear Or
Honline once will repay anyone for
the effort Of attending the conven-
ton. It is said that he has an unusu-
al message, and one that will make
people think. DIR. Honine will speak
four times at Prescott, once in the
morning session, twice in the after
noon, and again in the evening
When a man of his caliber comes to
our very door, surely we shall not
fail to hear him.

Mr.. Rogers has q tremendous job
He has accomplished marvellous re-

have very limited conception of the

he never talks about his own achiev-
ments; he has bigger things to do
However, his ability and worth have
not gone unrecognized. Far beyond
our state borders he is known as an
authority of the highest order in
work with young people. His service
as instructor in International Train
ing Schools and Camp conferences
are much in demand. In fact, Mr.
Rogers was one of the promoters OF
International Training Schools and
Camp Conferences. We may not be

School, to get the benefit of this
mans splendid work, but Prescott:
is within our reach, and Mr.. Rogers
will have something vital for every
one who goes-old and young.
Miss Edith Mabel Town
Miss Town, as Superintendent OF
the Children's Division, will direct
her efforts toward helping Children
Workers. We have had Miss Town
with us before, and we know how
thoroughly fine her work is. Miss
Town has had splendid training, hav
ing done field work in Wisconsin fol-
the Baptist State Organization, from
which service she was called to the
National Headquarters in Philadel-
phia, to take up the work from that
office. Just prior to taking her pres
ent position, she completed course
in Religious Education in the Hart
ford School Of Pedagogy, Hartford
Conn. 1t is marvelously fine thing
for the teachers and leaders in Child
ren's Work to have this splendidly
trained worker at their command for
a whole day.
In next weeks issue of this paper
the commplete convection program
will be given.
