The,2sth annual convention oi the Sullivan County Sunday School Association convened in the M. E. Church at Soneston on August 11. Under the leadership of our pro gressive County President, Vernon Hull of Hillsgrove, the convention proved to be an inspiration to more consecrated work for the Master; a revelation of of better methods, and created a desire to be in the Front Line position again at the State Convention. The singing, under the leader ship of Rev. 11. R. Wilkes, assisted by a large chorus including the combined choirs of the Sonestown churches, was an inspiring feature of the program. The convention reports showed the work throughout the county to be in splendid condition and ready for a vigorous campaign to have every district and school in the county reach the Front Line po sition by 1911. A new organiza tion of the Superintendents of the various departments of the work including S. S. Secretaries and the executive officers of the county, was effected at a banquet given in the Union station ot. the close of the Friday afternoon session. The State was represented by Miss Martha Robinson, well known throughout the county for the ef fective work she has done in pre vious conventions, and by Mr. Powey.

Muller, former lield work er in the county, and Prof. Ford of Philadelphia, gave inspiring ad dresses Friday afternoon. Flora Cooke, Press Supt. Boat Carnival. The third annual boat carnival which took place on Lake Mokoma Tuesday evening was a brilliant af j fair which in every way eclipsed anything in this line ever held in this section. Excursions from both ways were well attended and the beach was crowded with expectant faces until the procession of quaint and artistically decorated boats started around the lake. Among the floats in competition were the following with their originators: ''Camp Mokoma" by the Mokoma boys; •'Merry-go-round'' by 11. I). Harrison and Ed. YanlVlt; ••Wed ding Party" by Don Ingham and Olive Barrows;-"Christmas Party" by Jean Pennoek and Grace Scott; "North Pole Discovery" by \Y. A. Petri kin; '"Uncle Sam" by Win. Cheney; "Liberty Bell" by Win. Rogers; "Sail Boat" by Robert Stormont and Marjorie Mason; "Alarm Clock" by F. W. Meylcrt and Don Wieland. Beside these there were about 20 illuminated boats not iu competition. The first prizes were two beauti ful engraved silver loving cups and the second prizes were large boxes of Huyler's sweets. Camp Moko ma floats won both first and second prizes for illumination and display. In the competition for originality of design the judges were unable to decide between the ''Wedding Party," the "Christmas Party" and the "Merry-go- round" but after a toss of the coin the cup was given to Harrison and Van Pelt whose "living.jenny" was well worth the time and effort put into its construction.

Lessingham, gently dipping the oars, commenced his uarra tive. I he first thing I remember is stamped on my memory as an enduring picture. A company of men, armed with muskets, marched up to tlie door of my home. My mother caught me in her arms, and exclaimed in a frightened voice, 'There comes Captain Ogden and his soldiers.' The door was thing open, and as they rushed in, one of them exclaimed, 'Where is that Yankee who lives here? We have a warrant for him.' "My mother answered, u lf you mean my husband, Mr. Lessingham, he is away from home.' " I hen said the leader, ' I have found he is in arms against llie state, and we will burn his nest for him.' "Several of the men went to the open fire-place, and tak ing brands, set fire to the house. The Captain said to my mother, '(let out of here with your brats, d—d quick or burn.' "With me in her arms, and leading my little sister by the hand, my mother left the house. As we'walked away, I heard the crackling of the firf>, and before we were out of sight the flames had mounted to the roof. "J could walk, but 1 wore dresses. Mother soon turned off from the road, and went through a field to the river bank. She said we would goto the mouth of the creek, where the canoe was kept, and goto father at Fort Durkee. "We had only just reached the canoe when we saw v father coming along up under the river bank. When lie came near 1 noticed he was all wet. lie told us lie swam the river, lie said the J'ennamites had taken the fort and that lie had hard work to escape being taken. Mother told him what had happened at tl\e house. They both sat silent for a few min utes, and I saw a tear or two drop from mother's eyes. My father also saw them, for he jumped up and said: " ' There is no use crying for spilt milk; we are all well and together and we must get out of the clutches of these land robbers as quick as we can.'
