CONVENTION. The 32nd Annual Senlon Convonod at Nu midiaJuna 1 1 Nlany in Allondanco. The 3l2tnl a.iiiiml convention of the Columbia, Comity Nnbbnth Schools Association convened at Aumhlia on Tuesday Juno lit la. TIiIh Is the lbtu'tli time the convention was lielil on tho South Side, it having been liehl In Catawissa three times. Numhliii is a small village of about S'iO lnlmbiUnlx, a fact which makes the entertaining; of large conventions no easy task. Many hesitated to undertake tlie work anil were lilleil with anxiety let tho accommodations that could 'be oll'cieil would not meet wit Ii npprovul of the delegates. The events on Tuesday have proved, however, that those ap prehensions W'ero groundless, as the huge delegation , was irmiin(.ly and siitislactorily provided tor. Tlie morning daw tied Willi n threat ening lisped, but siHin the clouds broke and the genial rays of the sun burst forth making the day an ideal one w ith the splendid condition of the roads for transferring the delegates from Catu wissa, as well as to and from their plac es of euterlaimiicnt. Tlie sessions on Tuesday were held in the Lutheran Church, 'i'he devotion al services were conducted bv the pas tor, Kev. 1'. A. Weicksel. The services were begun by "Come Thou Almighty iving." in Ills remarks t hu insti.r centered bis thought on .Inn. IJ, 1U Kxcept u grain of wheat fall Into the ground and die it ahideth alone. Theme: Through Death to Life. This was followed by ik invocation and singing "() Hless the Lord my Soul." Kev Weicksel then delivered an effec tive address of welcome. Ho said in part : "Addresses of welcome are apt to he formal." The extending of the right hand originated U prevent people from doing each oilier harm, but those who have met liccextend the hand to re new tin? bonds of fellow ship and love. The iv is no desire to make the address es formal but sincere. Tho delegates are welcome not only to community and hollies but also to the work of tlie cause in which we have met. 1 n the response of Pres. M. I. Low he spoke of the pleasantness of being welcome. The bright sun, the fragrant flowers, the singing birds, and nil the grandeur of nature makes us glad we are living. We are living for service, ( ne of the best fields of service for the Master is the Sunday School. 1 It is not we. hut the Lord "who is doing tho work through us. Just as we approach our Master so shall the work of lids convention be a success. County Fieldsman H. H. Kowerthen gave a very intcresti.ig report, which was followed by a statistical report by Secretary. A. W. Spear. .In 11)00 there were 14s schools in the county of which l'J were open all tho year. Ten years ago half the schools were closed during the winter, Number of teach ers and ofliccrs L',151, number of schol ars lo,(ils, number of Home Depart ment members HI. The average at tendance was 11,344. Number of schools having a separate primary room 41. Over half tho schools are in country districts. Prof. J. S. (iritnes, Supt. of Normal work, gave some encouraging facts re garding tho work of this department. Some of the most marked successes aro in the Town of llloomsburg. Mrs. H. U. Supplce, delegate to the State Convention, gave a very Inter esting report. There is so much good to bo derived from state conventions thnt all who possibly can should at tend them. Tlie two cents per scholar tax should not bo looked upon us a bur den, but as an opimrtunity to help in the good work. This is an age of con ventions. We should be engaged, in the work with our whole soul. House to house visitation lias attained mar velous results. We are living in an age of improvements' Ono of the hardest problems is the big boy problem. We should aim to get the right person in the right place. Too often tlie fathers aro not found in tho Sunday school. The music of tho Sunday school is im isntant. Music is the only art of heaven given to earth. The Inductive method of ltible study is recommended The liitior trallic is doing great harm. Tho report contained many more good things, but want of space prevents mentioning them here. The Convention was then favored witli an excellent selection, rendered in pleasing style by Mrs. A. W. Whit- nor, which was followed by the report of the Treasurer. Mrs. Anna Mcllenrv. The afternoon session opened at two o'clock, 'i lie devotional services were conducted by Kev. A. P. Frantz, of the Reformed church. Theme: "A Nation, Like an Individual, is Judged on the Ground of Its Relation to Christ;" references, Matt. 2:1 :S, !4 :2, 2o : KMC. 1 le said in part : As citizens tlie Lord holds us responsible for tho government ot these t utted States. The nation, as well as individuals, is subject to Him. When there is a par tial corruption God provides a remedial punishment. God ml s His people through lovo on the one hand and chastisement on the other. A proud nation w ill full. Our nat ion should 'be a light unto the world. We should look into the condition of our country, and df w hat we can do to elevate it. President Low then appointed the followingconnnittecs : Tinieand Place, Nominating, Conference and Auditing Committee. This was followed by the ofVei ing and singing. "What Is a Good Superintendent?" was then most ably discussed by Rev. Chas. Khnads, I). 1)., General Secretary Pennsylvania Sunday School Associa tion. His address was full of good thoughts and helpful suggestions. The olllce t f Superintendent is next to that of the pastor tlie best place of oppor tunity. All his talents can be used in the execution of his work. A good superintendent . is one that does well the great work that belongs to him. He should lie 1, skilled in gathering, lie must be a missionary. Ho must not be satislled with one 'hundred members in his school when there are three hundred in the church. .Many I people tire waiting to be invited to come to Sunday school and the super intendent should see that they are in vited. He should bo 2, a good organ izer. J le should kn w how to arrange classes and train up a good teaching force. The cradle roll, primary, iuuior nun iiuciuiciiiiiiu aim iikiiiu iicnuri incuts should be based on the stages of ' iufaocy, childhood, youth and iiian ' hood. Ho must. lie desirous to In i crease the knowledge of the ltible. ' Special trainhij,' Is necessary on tho part of teacher. We should expect much of our teachers Hint thus secure better ones. lie must have a good evangelizing power. Children should not only lie brought Into the Sunday school, but they should he kept there. Tho personal power of the superintend ent should bo such as to Inspire the confidence of Ills school. Mrs. J, V. I'.nrnes, State Kitpt. of Primary Dep-irtment, then taught a tlassof little folks with great success, tirade or supplemental work should re ccive more attention. The lesson to he i lenrned should bo divided into phrases or distinct portions. The evening session opened nt 7:30. n overflow meeting was held In tho Kefortned Church. The song servleo , was conducted by I lev. F. A. Weicksel, after which Kev. K. K. McKelvy con ducted the devotional service. Theme: "A Gospel for the Whole World." j lleferetice, Matt. L'N : IS-L'0. The great privileges of the Christian in dissemi nation of the gospel of Christ were el oipieiitly discussed. Tho Kev. cniiiha si.cd the fact that these are perishing and that we are commiiudcd to rescue i them. ''Home Co-operation and llow to Se cure It" was then ably discussed by Mrs, llarnes. Among oilier things she suggested social gathering nf parents, I. it 111, i. til l,i uiu,,,lr .-tlli !,.... Vl.lt- day school work. Mauv parents ure 1 Vouched through the cradle roll. Dnilv ltible reading should be encouraged when children are nine or ten years of age. Parents should pray with as well as for their children.' Let the parents know that our work is value less without their help. Dr. Khoads then held tho rapt atten tion of theaudieuee in discussing "The Rest How and the Host Possible." He said let not the good school (if now bo the enemy of the best. House to house visitation has reached one-third of tlie people of Pennsylvania. Family worship is necessary nnd can be encouraged by the Home De partment. Kxamiuations ure neces sary to ascertain what has been accom plished. Men will tight and even die for the IHbie, but will not read it. The ltible is the material used by the Holy Spirit In influencing the hearts of men. The Sunday School Convention met , on Wednesday morning at 8:45 Toe devotional services were conducted by Rev. Grimes of Ncscopeck. Subject, "Finding the Spirit," John 14: lii-lH. -J n the course of his remarks be said: The word "Peraelcte" better explains the olllce of the Holy Spirit than "Comforter" or any other ono word usually used to designate tho Spirit. A Paraclete is more than a burden liearer; he Is a comforter and an advo cate. ' " f The report of the District Presidents were then given. With few exceptions the work in the dillerent districts was reported . in a favorable condition. Numerous suggestions were given to improve'tho schools but the need of tenlst mentioned was that of a mora extensive use of tho Hible in the Sun day School. A number of district presi dents werenot present neither did they send in a report notwithstanding the fact that a little inclination and effort Jji the right direction would at least have sent in the report. This was followed by a inbst interest ing and instructive address on the sub ject: Important Factors in Christian Education, by John K. Miller, Supt. of Col., Co. He introduced Ids theme by portraying tho grandeur and wonders of God's universe, clearly showing that the planets, stars, sun and moon, and the boundlessness of space are after all not so wonderful as a little child. The infant although it lias none of the pow ers of God, possesses the possibilities of becoming like God. Life may be liken ed to a triangle. The apex represents tho stage of infancy, then as the child increases in years the mind enlarges and rises onward and upward having more power to receive knowledge. Youth is the plastic age. Then the mind is like wax to receive impressions and like marble to retain them. The Sunday and day school should work In harmony. The pieturesand surround ings of Sunday Schools are more at tractive and edifying, as a rule, than those of the day schools. All pictures used for decorating the rooms should have an elevating inttueuce. In one day school were seen pictures, adver tisements of "Navy Plug Tobacco." "Dr. Jaynes Expectorant," and "You ngling's Iteer!" The successful teach er, liko the great business men of our country, should seek o secure a har mony between his soul and the soulsof those with whom he comes in contact. This was followed by Self-training of Teachers, by Mrs. J. W. Jinnies. One of tho most successful teachers is the "how and tho w hy" teacher. After having seen the necessity of the work ho proceeds to find luw to do it; and after it is completed seeks to determine why lie did it. The method is not so important as its adoption to the work in band. The successful teacher learns how to adapt ids methods to the needs of tho children: (1) Ity learning what ho can, by observation, when children are at play, Much insight into the child's nature can be secured bv notic ing how It t reats its playmate, what its desires are and how it expresses itself. Home life is often seen retlccted in the child at such times and a clue to the child's home training can t litis be secur ed. (2) lly listening to their conver sations. Ity this means it can be ascer tained w hat is known and what un known to the child. In teaching one thing should be linked with another tho knowji to the unknown. Teachers should look hack upon their own ex perience in childhood and see what then puzzled them or pleased them, in order to give the proper guidance to thelrowu pupils. "Great TruthsSimply Told" is recommended to teachers asa help in teaching primary pupils, There is a great deal of literature for children hut comparatively littlif about children. Teachers should read more of the latter class. The teacher should use as a guide and consider ( 1 ) The wonderful activity of a child. (U) That children aro naturally religious, (3) Their keen sense of Just ice. Title excellence con sists In excelling one's self, not in ex celling some one else. The highest motive of a child should always be ap pealed to. Every person exerts an in- I c: 1 1 i I 1 . ' i The elcc tlueiice, either good or bad, over a tlon of ol'lcers was then held after which tho roll of delgates was called. Delegates responed by giving tho number of persons uniting with the church, and the amount of the contri bution to the Association. Ninety-two delegates responded. The Wednesday afternoon session of H. 8. Con vent ion'opetied ntl:4". The devotional services were conducted by Rev. G. II. Hemingway. Reference John l':V2. Theme: The Measure of a Christian's Love for a fellow Christian. Among other excellent thoughts were: We love ench other because wo see In each other certain characteristics of Jesus Christ. We admire tho fire of Martin Luther and the good tpialitles of Wesley because they rolled to some extent the characteristics of Jesus Christ. Jesus not only died for us but he also lived for us. Wo aro to give our lives for each other. The next period was occupied by Dr. Rhoadsonthe subject: The Sunday School Lesson Taught. The first chapter of Revelations was read alter w hich (lie Dr. gave a discussion of it, Very much enjoyed by all. In the course of his remarks lie said: We should have a lovo for God's ancient people. God deals with nations as na tions, witli churches as churches, with Individuals as individuals. A member of a church must not simply do disown duty but he must induce ot hers to do theirs. The litters in Revelations should be applied to one's own church. God deals w it h Sunday Schools as with bodies. We should exert ourselves to our utmost to improve the spiritual condition of our church or school. One of the most important factors to suc cess Is co-operative responsibility. Dr. Ithoads was followed by Rev. Albert Hatches Smith who spoke on God's great Plain, a subject In which every liiblo student is now especially interested. Ity means of a large chart he illustrated ihe great plan of creation nnd reiloniiMion from the ''Ages of the Past" through tho "Creation order," "Fall," "Flood," "Abrahatn,""Moses" "Rejection ofClirist," "Glorification of Christ," "The Present Age, the Age Cuder Itlood," "Rapture of Saints," Return of Christ to Reign with His People," "Millennium" "Final Apos tasy," "Fullness of the Times Glori ous' Reign of Christ," and "The Ages of the Ages God All in All." God has always had His way in iptte of man. Sin lias always worked itself lo a head when God interposed and ush ered in a new epoch. A number of iiuestions were asked which Rev. Smith answered satisfactorily. The reports of committees was then given. The committee oil resolutions presented tho billowing report: Whkukas, It has been our privilege to assemble once more iu convention, therebore, be it Resolved, That we extend our lieaG felt thanks 1st, to God, our Father, for the Innumerable manifestations of His divine favor towards us, and for the great privilege of sharing with Him His wondrous work of love ; 2nd, to the ofliccrs of this convention, not only for tlie interesting program they have presented tons, but for" tho interesting efforts they have put forth during the past year to insur the success of the Sunday school in our midst : 3rd, to Dr. Rlioads, Mrs. Humes and others, who have so ably and delightfully dis cusstid tho Sunday school work in its different phases for our benefit ; 4th, to the good people of Numidia who have accorded us such a hearty wel come to their midst, showing by their flowers, their music, their bountiful spread tables and their cordial greet ings, that their labors for our pleasure, even though labors of love, have been none the less arduous. That inasmuch as one of the most potent factors In the great temperance work is the proper training of tho young, it becomes that more emphasis be laid upon tho teaching qf the Quar terly Temperance lessons, one of the most important parts of the Sunday Rchool teachers' work, to impress upon their pupils the necessity of a high standard of purity and temperance, and to inculcate such principle as will help them to attain such a standard. That we greatly deplore tlie preva lent use of the Sunday school Help and the neglect of the liiblo in the Sunday school room, and urge tho teachers at least to make more freuuent use of the Bible. That we heartily endorse the normal Work, and do earnestly urge Its adop tion iu all our schools. That Inasmuch as a knowledge of the ltible as one harmonious whole, a sum mary of its component parts, a general idea of the subjects of these parts; as far as possible a know ledge of the time and circumstances surrounding tho gift of each part to the world, and a knowl edge of the history of tho book itself aro tlie foundations without which no one can become an earnest and success ful ltible student. We do earnestly urge the use of the supplemental lessons on tho ltible. That wo urgo our teachers to keep In touch with the Sunday school work tluough the pages of tho Ileiald. That inasmuch as tho workers in some of our voniote districts have tlie most discouraging circumstances against which to contend, we urge the members of our stronger schools to ex tend to them all possible aid and en couragement, especially by prayer and visiting. That wo express to our retiring fields man, Mr. Rower, our deep appreciation of his work during the past, our keen regret that ho should deem it advisable to retire, and our earnest hope that ho will still continue toaidiu tho work when possible. That we express our hearty apprecia tion to Rev. F. A. Weicksel, pastor of the Lutheran Church, and Rev. A. P. Frantz, of the Reformed Church, for their elforts on behalf of the Conven tion; and also our belief that much of the success of tho Convention is due them, Mau i ii a E. Rohison, Vkuxik Jonks, M Any V. Mii.xks. A few airecliug closing words were then spoken by several of the dlegates and pastors, among them was Fields man H. R. Rower, who has resigned his olllce in tho Association, He very touchingly expressed his love fortius work and his willingness to continue iu it witli much earnestness as ever. Thus closed one of tho most success ful Conventions ever held by this As sociation, and one that will long bo re membered by the people of this com munity. Tlie presence of tho Spirit was felt, and many went to their re- speetlve fields of labor with a lenewed determination to labor in tho great cause. ' .
