"The average Democratic local leader

Itcv. U. Myers of Catawlssa gave n very
ue address on the topic, "Tho B. B. ns a
pbcru of labor nud education for church
members." Tho general Idea ho advanced
as that nil newly converted members of
thu church should enter n Sunday school
lass taught by some competent person
who regularly prepares the lesson beforo
trying to teach Ills class.
Itcv. Q. 1). Dcchnnt of Cutawlssa, on the
subject of Sunday school worship said nil
scholars should bo taught to worship from
nfnncy. That tho repeating of the npos-
os' creed should bo engaged In by tho
entire school In a reverential manner.
Hev. Horning of Mllllln wns cilled upon
to. respond to the topic, "Hehitlon of Sun
day school to tho church," and gave as tho
one great dllllculty In securing tho ntten-
ancu of Sunday school scholars at church,
was first the neglect of the parents at their
homes, who were not strict enough j nnd
second, the fault of the tencher In not urg
ing the class to attend worship In the sane-tuary.
The subject of "S. S. Treasury and the
congregation," was opened by B. F. Zarr,
who took tho position that the church
should defray all tho expenses of the Suu
school, collections should bo for bencvo.
lenco only. lie was met with considerable
opposition, uud tho subject was well dis
cussed, showing followers on both sides
of the question.
The subject of temperance In the Sunday
school was Introduced by Aaron Smith
who was followed by several speakers who
thought temperance ought not to bo re
strictcd to tho use of Intoxicating drink
alone, but to the uso of tobacco n3 well
Rev. D. M. Henlcel D. D. of CalawUsn,
on the themo "Prayer and exccrclso of
FnltU by Teachers," said reading the Bible
Is God spenUIng to us, prnycr Is we speak
ing to Qod. God will grant those things
unto us through prayei that lie wouiu not
grant did we not ask for them.
On the subject of teachers meetings Mr.
A. W. Spear said It was an excellent place
to awaken new suggestions from Individ'
uals that could not bo brought out other
wise. The different qustions naked nnd
answered would call forth new Ideas. At
such meetings questions should be freely
asked. Some even thought a question bos a
good plan to adopt at such meetings.
In considering tho question of "Lessou
Helps and how to U3e them." Tho most
prominent suggestion was that we should
not confine ourselves entirely to the lesson
arranged for each Sabbath, but should vary
tho questions, and each sabbath give a
short review of tho preceding sabbath's
lesson.
