THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA

Columbia County Annual Interdenomi
national 8. 8. Convention-
The twenty-seventh annual Con
vention of the Columbia County As
sociation met in the M. K. Church at
Catawissa on May 28th, and was
opened with a song service followed
with devotional exercises conducted
by Rev. G. M. Klcpfer, of Catawissa.
President Low extended greeting to
the delegates, there being a goodly
number present notwithstanding the
disagreeable weather. It takes some
thing more than rain to dampen the
ardor of Columbia County Sunday
School workers.
Mr. Low said : " This is a splen
did day. Showers' of course, but arc
they not showers of blessing to the
dry and parched earth ? We need
showers of blessing in our hearts. Let
us look to our Lord for these showers.
Oh, for a sight of Christ by faith 1
How it lifts up and changes all our
desires."
A. W. Spear, Statistical Corres
ponding Secretary, gave his report for
the coming year. The first compara
tively full report of statistics was made
in 1888. Our last report shows the
number of people in the Sunday
Schools of Columbia County to be
14,713 a gam of about 3,000 in five
years. There are still however 25,000
persons in Columbia County who a:e
not in the S. S.
The roll of District Vice Presidents
was now called and a ma'nrity re
sponded with, reports from their dis
tricts. These presidents assist the
secretary very much in lurnishing him
with information regarding the schools
urder their care.
THURSDA': AFTERNOON SESSION.
After a song service Rev. D. N.
Kirkby, of Bloomsburg, conducted
the devotional exercises. The presi
dent appointed the following commit
tee :
Committee on nominations ; W.
R. Kocher, Miss Sue Dechant, Mrs.
I. II. Seesholtz, H. G. Supplee, L. A.
Remley, R. T. Smith.
Committee on resolutions ; Prof.
R. Kocher, Miss Verne Jones, Mrs.
1 nomas tortner.
Committee on place ; Daniel Mc
Henry, T. B. Nuss, T. C. Creveling.
Auditing Committee ; John Eves,
A. A. Pealer, C. M. Laubach.
Prof. C. II. Albert was then intro
duced and opened the parliament
" How can the Col. Co. Association
Help the Individual School?" He
said in connection to this topic unless
we can go back to our schools next
Sabbath and give to members some
help that we have gained from this
convention then our visit has been in
vain. There was a convention "of
farmers a short time since at whii:h
the people spent twenty-nine hours
discussing the merits of horses, cows
and hogs, and but twenty five minutes
to the discussion of boys. The crying
need of to-day is to give more time to
the boys and girls. In 1895 45,000
girls, between the age of 12 and 16,
were sold to lives of shame in the
Urited States alone. This is in part
the fault of Sunday school teachers.
The Sunday school has in its hands
the care of the people of the com
munis. We must make the Sunday
scl ool pleasant and agreeable. One
way is by thorough preparation. If
I go before my class unprepared it is
no wonder that it dwindles down to
zero. We must teach the children
to make a wise choice in this life ; to
choose righteousness. Every boy or
girl in our classes should feel the
benefit of what we receive at the con
vention. This is a mountain top
from wnich we can get a view of the
broad field for work in the valley
below. Next Sunday let us go into
the valley and make our schools feel
tint we have been here and derived
some benefit. Quite a number of the
delegates responded to the invitation
to discuss the question, and several
gave instances of times when they had
received help from the convention.
P.ev. U. Myers, Secretary of the
Home Department Work in the
State, gave a talk on the Home De
partment. This is a department of
the Sunday School organized for the
purpose of Bible study by persons
who cannot be in the Sunday School,
such as the aged, invalids, mothers
with little children and persons whose
employment will not allow them to
attend the Sunday School. By means
of it many become engaged in study
ing the Bible who would not other
wise be interested in the work. The
plan of operation is so simple that it
enn be used in any school, small or
large. At the close of his remarks,
he presented a resolution to amend
the constitution by adding an addi
tional officer, a Home Department
Secretary, whose duty shall be " to
take general charge of the Home De
partment Work in the county and by
correspondence or visitation or both
to urge upon all district presidents
and superintendents of schools to or
ganise a Home Department in every
school in the county each of these to
report to the secretary j and he or
she to report to the county conven
tions as often as held. This amend
ment waa unanimously adopted by
the convention.
Mbs Amelia Eves, of Millville,
road an exce''ent paper on Temper
ance. Her ideas were founded on
Paul's charge to the keeper of the
prison : " Do thyself no harm." In
being intemperitc we do not break
this command through ignorance. All
around us are evidences of the fact
that alcohol is injurious to the body.
We ate taught this in the public
schools and can see it all around us.
If we want the boys to be temperate
we must entreat them kindlv and
.ork patiently to accomplish our end.
Rev. I. M. Patterson and Rev. C.
II. Brandt, of Bloomsburir. were call
ed upon to explain the 1 working? of
tne 1.01. o., uiDie society. 1 ney
said the object of this society was to
place Jiibles in the nanus ot every
person in the county and to this end
depositories had been placed in
several different parts of the county
in order that they could be easily
reached. The plan is to furnish
those who can afford to buy them
Bibles at a greatly reduced nrice. and
those who are unable to buy them
receive Bibles free ol chartre. It is
hoped that this will lead to more
Bible study. Alter music the meet
ing closed with the bcneuiction.
THURSDAY EVENINO SESSION.
After a stirring song service Mie de
votional exercises were conducted by
Rev. C. H. Brandt. Mrs. J. W.
Barnes was then introduced and talked
on "How to Make Christ Real to the
Children." Mrs. Barnes hardiy needs
an introduction to a Columbia County
audience, as she has delighted and in
structed the people several times, and
this time they were pleased just as
much as. before. She said : " The
question 'How to Make Christ Real
to the Children' implies that our chil
uren do not realize that Christ is
human. If the child does not think
of Him as a personal Savioui, it is not
the fault of" the child, but our own
fault as teachers in not having a true
conception of the humanity of Christ ;
because if we had this in our hearts
and minds we could not help giving it
to the child. One caution to teachers
of primary children is that they should
be careful not to use abstract things
to represent Christ. I know of one
person who used to think of Christ as
a great eye always watching. A good
way to have Christ become real to
the, children is to have them talk to
Him in prayer. A little child's defi
nition of prayer was 'Talking with
God as we talk to mamma." This is
the way we want to pray. In the
talking with mamma there is the re
quest for things we desire, the con-
fession of sins and asking forgiveness,
and a frequent 'thank you.' At all of
our sessions we have a number of
prayers, the prayer of thanks, the
prayer for the offering, the prayer for
the lesson, and the closing prayer in
which we try to embody the truth of
the lesson. We endeavor to have the
children take this prayer for the week
Teach that reference is due God at
all times during prayer. Everything
must be very quiet during this time.
Our work must be to give the chil-
dren a true conception of prayer,
teach them how to pray and when to
pray and God's Holy Spirit will work
iu such a way that they cannot fail
to have a true conception of the
reality of Christ."
Fieldsman, H. R. Bower, gave a
report of the work done in the county
during the year. He said he fonnd
m his going over the county there
was still a great deal of land to be
possessed for the Master. There
were three . things he would like to
suggest as our line of improvement
for the coming year, first, make use
of the Home Department! second,
have graded schools ; third, try to
put the Bible in its original place in
the Sunday School. Use the lesson
leaf and helps at home but the Bible
in the school.

The committee on place reported
they had received no invitation for the
convention therefore had no further
report to make.
Dr. J. C Kephart gave an excel
lent address on " Bible Schools in
Bible Times." He said: "The
Jewish children were early taught the
book of the law. In a virtuous home
no opportunity was lost of teaching
reference for God. The children
were taught when very young to
memorize the law. We need to re
establish the Bible school in the
home. We ought to see anew the
importance of Bible instruction.
Jesus went about all Galilee teaching
and preaching. We have the same
command for teaching as preaching.
In Jewish schools until the pupils had
learned, the teacher had not taught.
The Jewish school was considered an
essential part of the church. We
can take a lesson from these Jewish
schools and endeavor to have a better
superintendent, a better teaching
force and better methods.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
A service of song preceded the de
votional exercises which were con
ducted by Rev. J. B. Martyn. Dr.
II. U. Roop, Normal Department
Instructor, gave some " Helpful
Hints in Normal Lines" Normal
class work helps us. i. To study
the Bible more systematically. 2. It
gives us a bird's eye view of the
Bible. 3. It supplements bur lesson
helps. He said there were seven laws
to be followed if we want to do the
best work possible. They are the
laws ot the adaptation, co operation,
definiteness, system, illustration, re
petition and variety. In defining the
bunday School he said : " The Sun
day School is that department of the
church where the word of God is
taught for the purpose cf bringing
souls to Christ.
Dr. Kephart gave a short account
of the work that is being done in
Qther counties. He said that al
though Columbia County was one of
the banner counties in Sunday
School work, there was still a great
deal to be clone here.
The "Open Parliament" was opened
by S. C. Creasy, who gave his idea of
what a superintendent should be.
"He should be a man that commands
the respect of everyone ; a man that
has everything concerned with the
school right under his eye ; he should
know .very pupil in the school, and
should realize the responsibility of
bunging every pupil in his school to
the Master."
John K. Miller said " The teacher
must be able to adapt himself to the
understanding of the pupil, and be
able to lift up their pupils from their
own level to a higher plane of exist
ence."
Mrs. Albert Smith gave some of the
things that would help to make the
bundav Schools more interesting. 1
1 ne new scnoiars should be recog
nized. 2. We should have small
classes. 3. Teach a missionary spirit.
4. Have good closing exercises.
The convention having grown to
such proportions that it was impossible
for any small town to entertain the
delegates, it was thought best to
change the representation which was
done by adopting the following resolu
tion :
Rtsolved ; That article nine of the
constitution be amended to read as
follows : Each Sunday School in Col
umbia County is entitled to one del
egate, and all schools having a mem
bership of over two hundred to one
additional delegate, and each district
to one, who shall make a report of the
County Convention to the district
institute. These delegates together
with the district presidents, superin
tendents and the ministers of the
county shall constitute the convention.
1 he delegate to the State Conven
tion, Boyd Trescott, presented a very
excellent report but on account of lack
of time was not able to read It. We
give however a few extracts :
The convention was held in William-
sport iu October and there were about
500 delegates present. Hon. John
Wanamaker presided and responded
to the address of welcome in his usual
inspiring manner, and said among the
many good things that the convention
had met to learn of the Master's work
and not to glorify any man. The
presence of so many distinguished
men. such as John Wanamaker, Win.
Reynolds, B. F. lacobs and John R.
Sweeney, makes the convention an
impotant for good.
I lie committee on resolutions re
ported : Whereas, we, the delegates
of the Sunday Schools of Columbia
County, nave been permitted to meet
in convention at the close of another
year of Sunday School work, therefore
be it
Resolved: That we express our
sincere gratitude to God, our Heaven
ly Father, for preservation ; for ad
vancement in Sunday School work 1
and for an increase both in the num
ber and in the membership of our
schools.
That we recognize the importance
of the work accomplished by our
executive committee, the willing
workers, of Bloomsburg, and the Dis
trict Presidents in holding institutes,
especially in unoccupied territory.
That we urge upon our Sunday
School workers to put forth a stronger
effort during the coming year to save
the young people from the many
kinds of intemperance, especially
from the use of all spiritous liquors,
of tobacco and cigarettes, and of no
less dangerous habit of gum chewing.
That we endeavor to live nearer to
Christ and to do more to bring the
children under his saving power.
That we hereby extend to the good
people of Catawissa our heartfelt
thanks for our hospitable entertain
ment during chili convention ; to the
trustees of this church for the use of
the building j to the local entertain
ment for the work done and to all
who in any way have helped to make
this convention a success.
The music for the convention was
in charge of F. B. Hartman, of
Bloomsburg, and it is hardly neces
sary to say that it was excellent and
contributed veiy much to the pleas
ure of the delegates. Among the
solo and duets that were sung, one of
the sweetest was a duet by Mrs. Derr,
of Catawissa, and Mr. Cyrus Robbins,
of Stillwater, a gentleman past sixty
years of age.
At the close of the Friday after
noon session the delegates separated
with the feeling that they had gained
some valuable help, and hoping that
all might be spared to meet at our
next convention.
