DEAR SUPERINTENDENT:
The County Convention will be held at Needmore, May 24th
and 25th. Please see that one or two delegates are elected by
your school without fail. It would be a stimulus indeed, a
blessing If every school in the County could be represented.
At the State Convention at York, laot year, every county in the
State was represented; and the announcement, made by Mr.
Landls. brought cheers from the 1200 delegates and 3000 Sunday
cbool lovers present.
The Sunday school needs your help and support. It Is the
most successful recruiting station the Church has to-day; but, it
Is vastly more It is the training center of the Church.
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. If the District pledges are
paid, we can meet the County pledges to the State.
Yours for a Great Convention.
