tfIe Meigs church was comfortably
filled at the opening session of the
38th annual convention of what we
knew in our younger days as Nor
gan county Sunday School conven-
tion. They have changed the name
some, but it is still Sunday school
folks telling and listening. S. P.
Moody, pastor of the local church.
had charge of the song service and
devotionals, reading from Holy Writ
the story of the first Sunday school.
Rev. George Ashton of Columbus, a
native of Bristol, who got his early
training in and through the Meigs
church, offered prayer. President
Rev. A. N. Grove then introduced
the speaker of the evening, State
Secretary A. T. Arnold. The writer
knew Arthur T. at the time when if
his name was mentioned you would |
have to tell majority of even Sun
day school folks who he was. Such
is not the case now. Through con-
secrated work in the field whereunto
he has been called, his name and
work is known to the world
Through his talk of the evening, !
1.-The great objectives of religious
education ran the simple Jesus |
Christ, every day Christianity. Tues |
day a. M: A blessing came early in |
the morning in the way Of a fine
rain. Some folks were late and like
ly some never even got started. |
Those present were the workers. |
Everything went nicely until the |
preacher list was reached. Pres |
ident Grove. knowing preachers, /
had some one to take the place of !
absentees.. Sunday school teachers
and officers who had been placed on |
the program, were all present. The
state speakers were ready at all |
times, not only to take the part as
signed them, but to step in anywhere |
they might be needed. The dinner
was served in the grange hall base
ment. May we tell you that at least |
five different churches are represent
ed in the M. V. grange? The crowd
increased some at the afternoon ses-
sion, and full house greeted the
speakers in the evening. In the bus
mess session of the afternoon the
secretary gave out the information
that only IA schools had paid their
quota. The writer had the privi-
lege of looking over the list. We
couldn't help wondering why some !
Of the schools were out of the pay.
