EXPECT LARGEST
S. S. CONVENTION
Millersburg Preparing For
Record Gathering Tuesday
and Wednesday
Millersburg people have completed
preparations to entertain the largest
Sabbath school convention in the
history of Dauphin county and they
are leaving nothing undone to compel
the delegates to feel that they have
never been better cared -for. The ex
cutlve committee has devoted equal
enthusiasm to making the program
the best that a Dauphin county con
vention has ever heard.
But something more must be done
to make the convention a success.
Every school in the county and every
school in the city of Harrisburg must
send its delegates. That is the only
reward that those who have given
so freely of their time and energy
seek—a large attendance, that there
may be a large sharing of the great
things of the convention.
A representative from every school
U the goal—for only so can the goal
of service be reached, to share the
Sunday school vision and spirit and
enthusiasm with all the schools.
Professor Mack In Charge of Music
With Professor Mack, of the fa
mous Hall-Mack Company, leading
the singing, the music of the conven
tion will be all that can be desired.

address of welcome by Joseph I. Cor
bett, one of Millersburg's leading
citizens. W. C. Landes, state secre
tary. will be present throughout the
convention to deliver some of his
stimulating addresses on Sunday
school work. He will speak on "Our
Dependable Assets." "A Call to Serv
ice" and "Four C's." Miss Grace L.
Kane, the new elementary superin
tendent, will give "Teaching and
Training the Beginners" and "A For
ward Look." Mrs. W. N. Yates, of
this city, will give two splendid ad
dresses on "The Value of the Black
board in the Sunday School" and "An
Illustrated Bible Story," di-awlng
while she talks.
The Rev. E. C. Keboch, the Sun
day school efficiency superintendent
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,

School Evangelism. This evening
addresses by Professor H. H. Shenk

Above Is shown St. Lawrence German Catholic Church, Fifth and Walnut streets, which is among the
last of the buildings being removed from the Capitol Park zone. The church is a historic old structure and
It is with regreat that members of the congregation are seeing it torn down.
The church was erected in Walnut street back In 1870. Much of the work, was done by the Rev. Clem
ens A. Koppernagel, who was then in charge. He was a strapping giant of a man, a woodworker, tinsmith
and "Jack of all trades." He built all the pews, did the frescoing and much other work.
Will Discuss Victory
in War and Possible
Loss of Sabbath Day
What will it profit this nation if it
wins the war and loses its Sabbath?
This is one of the questions that will
be raised in the sermon in Park
Street United Evangelical Church on
Sunday evening when the pastor's
subject will be. "The Christian Ob
servance of the Sabbath." This is
the first of three other themes of
"Gait" to be preached on Sunday
evenings.
The second will follow on Sunday
evening, July 1, and will be on the
subject of "The Movies;" the third
on Sunday evening. July 8, on "Va
cations." Other questions that will
be raised in the discussion to-mor
row evening are such as these: How
about having milk delivered to your
home on the Sabbath? Is "trolley
ing" on a Sunday Christian? How
about "steam training?" How about
"autoing?" How about a good many
other things? "Will the sermon
'knock'?"
