Milford, was very impressive.

Address, Worship In the School,
Miss Pauline Albertson; in which
she stressed the value of worship in
the school. If the leader is really
filled with the spirit it makes it
much more impressive, especially
for young people and children.
The music should be carefully Sc
lected and used so as to induce the
real spirit of worship. 1t was very
fine address and she surely is the
one for the position that she fills we
believe.
Announcements and appointment
of committees. Offering. Address:
Study and Service in the School,,
Rev. N. G. Benson of Frederick. We
get out of it according to what we
put in it. If we take times for study
at home, we can give much better
service in our church schools. Sup
pose neither teacher nor pupil made
any preparation at home, how much
will they get out of it?
