Our County Secretary Is very anxious that you send your Sunday School report before, or at, the Convention at Need more. You know If yo t or your secretary has made a statistical report this year of your school; if not, please do so. It Is an important matter The County is always affected and humiliat ed by the neglect of some schools to report. We hope for a liberal offering from your school.
