The twenty-fourth annual conven
tion of the Columbia county Sabbath
School Association was held at Mill
ville in the Free Church beginning on
Wednesday, May a4th, 1893.
1 he first session was opened at ten
o'clock with devotional exercises,
conducted by Rev. G. V. Sav-
ldge and music led by a choir of
local talent in charge of Prof. T. Em-
roy Eves, who had been selected mu
sical director of the convention.
rrot. .lives then extended a nearty
welcome and warm greeting to the
orhcers, delegates and visitors in tne
name of the citizens of Millville, bid
ing all to feel at home while with
them. Mr. M. I. Low, President of
the Association, made a very earnest
and beautiful response to this friendly
welcome and the convention proceed
ed at otice to business by calling the
roll of officers. Five responded. A
letter was read from Rev. Heihnan,

er people in the community," "Lack of
financial support, "Sunday visiting,
"Want of co-operation," and "Failure
to appreciate the magnitude of the
work." At the close of this discussion
the convention adjourned with Doxol-
ogy and prayer by Rev. Straub of Or-
angeville.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the close of this session the offi
cers and delegates were proiuse in
praise of the royal entertainment re
ceived at the homes of the Millville
people and all seemed to have become
most intimately acquainted and were
ready for that hearty co-operation that
tends to make all meetings of this na
ture a success. The opening exercises
were followed by the teaching of next
Sabbath's lesson by.H. V. White. Mr.
White had brought his class of twelve
young laaies irom me rresDyienan
Sunday School of BloomsDurg to give
them an opportunity to enjoy the con
vention, and the very earnest, careful
and interesting treatment of the lesson
proved conclusively that this class
were accustomed to the study of the
Bible and were familiar with its contents.
After appointing committees and
hearing a very choice recitation by
Miss Mattie Eves, the first subject on
the . program, "The Teacher s One
Text Book," was very ably discussed
by Rev. I. N. Patterson, of Blooms
burg. He referred to Mr. White's
class as having all been brought to
Christ and into the church within the
last two years and said their faces
were tamiliar in the mid-week prayer
meeting and at all the church services.
They were earnest students of that
one Text Book, the Bible. After hear
ing report of corresponding secretary,
Mr. Spear, and a recitation by Miss
Carrie Taggart, the session closed with
Doxology and Benediction by Elder
Strickland.
EVENING SESSION.
After an excellent rendition of that
noble production of Schuyler Colfax,
"A .Plea for Temperance," by Ralph
Kisner, the convention was entertained,
instructed and elevated by Rev. Dr. ).
Richards Boyle, Pastor of Franklin
street M. E. Church, Wilkes-Barre,
who held the large audience for one
hour and a half in rapt attention to
his justly celebrated sermon on "The
Persistency of the Divine Word," tak
ing his text from 1 Peter 1 chapter,
verse 25. Space will not permit prop
er comment on this most masterly ar
eument but could all the infidels and
skeptics of our county have heard him
the profit to the community would have
been incalculable. At the close of the
session Prof. Sprenkel, State Secretary,
arrived on the late train and in his
usual cheery manner assured all that
he hoped to be on hand to nelp to
morrow,
THURSDAY MORNING SESSION.
1 he devotional exercises were very
interesting and instructive, Subject
"Jesus in the Midst was ably conduc
ted by Rev. Stephens, of Berwick,
making prominent the thought that
' One of the very best ways to have
Tesus in the midst is to always have
him with you."
The roll call showed 76 schools rep
resented by 1 54 delegates and contri
butions $137.44.. fln increase of twelve
schools and 33 delegates over last year's
attendance and $44-07 in the contri
butions, thus clearly demonstrating
the growing interest in the work. After

like him, will draw all men unto you.
After report of I. E. Edwards, dele
gate to the Stale Convention, tne
amendments to the constitution were
passed upon and the reports of the
Township Presidents and the commit
tees of the convention were received
and an adjournment taken till 1 r. M.

After devotional exercises the con
vention proceeded to the election of
officers for the ensuing year as follows:

Prof Sprenkle then took up the sub
ject of reviews and urged upon all the
importance ot constant reviews ior tne
purposes of testing the teachers work,
testing the scholar and sending the
lesson home. After singing by the
congregation and a solo by Prof.
Sprenkel, answers to questions on
Primary were taken up by the Profess
or a few moments before he left to
take the train for another field of ac
tion. In the open Parliament, "Helps
to the work" was discussed by Rev.
Straub and many of the delegates, be
coming a very interesting part of the
program. Alter a snort taut on joyai
Legion work by Mr. 1 rescotr, me sub
ject "Impressions of the Convention"
became an interesting feature for a
short time followed by well timed re
marks on Consecration by Mr. H. R.
Bower. After singing, and prayer by
Mr. Paul Tustin, the convention adop
ted the report of the committee on
Resolutions and the committee on
place fixing Bloomsburg for the next
meeting and adjourned by singing
"God be with you till we meet again."
The attendance at this convention
was very large, the house being crowd
ed at every session, The town was
well filled with delegates and visitors
but the good people of Millville were
prepared for all these, giving to each
and every one such a hearty greeting
and such homelike and kindly enter-
tainment that all will carry with them
manv oleasant memories of their so
journ in this very pleasant village.

Miss Eva Rupert. Recording Secre
tary, was in attendance at General
Assembly of Presbyterian Church at
Washington, D. C, and Miss Annie
Elliot was present as her substitute.
Minutes of last meeting and of the
several meetings of the Executive
Committee read by Mr. Spear, and
after reviewing work reported done by
the committee during the year, ap
proved without change. After a se
lection of music, tlu first topic on the
program, " hindrances to the work,"
was opened by Mr. II. R. Bower, and
ably discussed by many present, bring
ing out the many drawbacks to the
Sunday School work as felt by those
taking part, the chief of which were :
"Adverse criticisms on the work of the
officers," "Repeated absence of teach
ers," "Indifference on the parl4of.old-
jingmg by the congregation, rrot.
Sprenkel took up the subject "Prepar
ation by the teacher." He treated
it at length and in a very pleasant and
interesting manner under the following
head 1. Every teacher must be a
Christian. 2. Preparation is a condi
tion of success. 3. The teacher must
know the nature of the material he
uses i. e. It is just as important to
kno: what not to teach as to know
what to teach. 4. The teacher must
study the pupils not only in the class
but by visiting them in their homes.
Afler social moments the convention
was given a rare treat by Mrs. Mary A.
Hogue on the subject of "How should
we bring our pupils to Christ." Her
thought may be expressed in these
words, "The love of 'Christ constrain
