State Sabbath School Convention,
tober 10,11 and 12,
A letter has just been received by
President Foster of the Centre County
Sabbath School Association assigning
them a minimum thirty-five of dele
gates to the great Pennsylvatila Sab
bath School convention to be held in
Philadelphia, October 10, 11 and 12.
Pennsylvania this year, with the aid
of her largest city and the balance of
the State, fully expects to hold the
largest Sabbath School convention in
the ontire world
Pennsylvania with her 10608 Pro-
testant Sabbath schools and her two
and a quarter millon Sabbath school
teachers, officers and pupils, even nat
that has only one in four of her pop-
ulation In the Sabbath school
Yet with all that, she has one wsix-
teenth of the entire Sabbath school en-
rollment of the entire world and one
eighth of the United States enroll:
ment. "
The State organization has created
live puxiliary organizations in every
one of the sixty-seven counties of the
State. and Centre county can feel
proud of her part in such a splendid
organization,
The great auditorium in which the
convention will be held In Philadelphia
will seat ten thousand people, half of
which is confidently expected to come
from Philadelphia, and the other half
from throughout the State
The program for this convention Is
to be better than ever hefore In an:
ticipation of this great throng of Sune
day school leaders, and our county can
well afford to make an organized ef-
fort right now to run away over the
minimum number of delegates assign.
