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

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.

fective work she has done in pre
vious conventions, and by Mr.
Powey. They presented the ad
vantages of using the graded les
sons and of the wonderful progress
made by organized Adult Bible
Classes throughout the State.

as a trophy from the State Conven

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.

TllK\Ot'N(j MAN KKOM WVOMINIi. {('nutlilh'il fmin page '2.)
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.'
