The most largely attended mid moat tllogcthcr BiicccHsful county Sunday chool convention ever conducted In Luckawunna county wns hold yester day In tho Providence Methodist Epis copal church. There were three bchsIoiis, morning, afternoon and night, and the liveliest Interest In the proceedings was mani fested by the hundred and more dele gates who were In nttendunce. The ad dresses were In every Instance full of good suggestions and the discussions which they provoked showed that these suggestions were favorably considered. Tho morning and afternoon sessions wero presided over by C. D. Winters, of 'Jermyn, the county president. Tho morning session wns opened with a eoiig service nnd a Bible exposition by Rev. Albert Hatcher Smith, pastor of tho North Main Avenue Baptist church. Rev. George A. Cure, pastor of tho Methodist Episcopal church, made a formal address of greeting to the dele gation, and President Winters then made his niinuul address, In which ho pleaded for a greater enthusiasm and Ecal in tho work. Corresponding Secretary Fred C. Han yen, of this city, gave a brief statist ical report, which was a resume of In dividual reports from sovonty-nino of tho 125 Sunday schools affiliated with tho society. These reports showed tho work accomplished during the past year among some 16,000 pupils. REPORTS PRESENTED. President Winters called the roll of the schools and one delegate from each reported the number of delegutcs pres ent fromi his or her school; the num ber of conversions in the school during the past year; the amount contributed to county work, and tho general con dition of the school. The afternoon session was opened with a Bible exposition by Secretary W. W. Adair, of the Railroad Young Men's Christian association, who took for his theme "Tho Holy Spirit in Re lation to tho Lives of the Apostles." The election of officers for the coining year then took place, and resulted in the choice of the following: President, C. D. Winters, of Jermyn; vice-president, W. W.

Mrs. Barnes, of Philadel phia, state superintendent of primary woik, delivered an address on "The Teacher Keeping in Touch with the Home," nnd Prof. Charles H. Albert, of Rlooinsburg State Normal school, gave a talk on "The Necessity and Method of Preparing the Lesson." W. D.

Odell, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, delivered an expository address based on readings from the acts of the apostles, taking for his particular theme "Tho Holy Spirit in Relation to tho Founding of Churches." TO SUPPLEMENT CHURCH WORK. Rev. Hugh Cork, of Pittsburg, was to have spoken on the topic "Bigger and Better" but he was unable to at tend and Rev. L. W. Hainer, of Mor alstown, spoke in his place. His whole address was an earnest plea to parents and teachers to always bear in mind that while Sunday school Is a splendid thing it is only Intended to supplement the work of the church. "If tho Sunday school Is going to usurp the functions of the church," eald he, "then I'll vote to do away with tho Sunday school. Wo want the Sunday school but we want the church more." Clergyman, he said, have In too many instances no place for the chil dren In their sermons. They entirely neglect them and aim their remarks at the adults solely. The proper func tion of the Sunday school, ho declared, Is to bring the children into the church nnd clergymen must not forget that they are to keep them there when once they are brought In. Prof. Albert gave a splendid address on "The Saving Influences in Our American Life." These Influences, ho ' declared, aro the American homo; the American public school and American literature. The real American home, he said, is composed of at least three persons, a husband, a wife and a child. There Is no real home without at least one child; he sold. He said that statistics which ho has collected from public libraries In all parts of the country show that young people are reading ten times as many books as they were reading ten years ago and that In a general way tho class of literature which is being read is good. AGAINST TOBACCO. The professor is strongly prejudiced against tobacco as was manifested when he branched off from his main subject and made a protest against the use of tho weed In any form. He declared that the habit is not only growing among men but Is being taken up at an Increased rate even by young women, "I know from actual personal ex perience and not from hearsay,' said lie, "that cigarette snslilnjr and wine tlpllng nre being Indulgeu in by many young women and that the , habit seems to be glowing among them year by xear." On motion of Rev, Dr, Whalen, of O-ubondale, a committee of fivo was appointed by the chairman to make an For a Weak Back. The muscles of tho back mav hn very much strengthened and all pain' rum sorenesH removed oy applying Chamberlain's Pain Ualm and having tho pails rubbed vigorously for fiva inli)u(ea at each application, Twenty ?lvo anil, ilfty-ee.it bottles, of this llnl ncnt mi for salo by all druggists.
