County S.S. Convention.
The 37th annual convention of
the Fulton County Sunday Schoo!
Association was held at Need
more on ThurFday afternoon and
evening, and Friday morning of
last week, and was a great sue
mi -
cess, ine large attendance at
these yearly meetings is a meas
ure of the growth of popular in
terest in Bible study and all that
pertains to Sabbath school work.
Statistics show that Fulton Coun
ty continues to occupy a position
in the Front Line, and that bet
ter work is being done from year
to year.
Young lives are growing up to
take the place of those who are
passing away, and there is in
creasing need for Bible students
capable of teaching the Word of
God. This is met, in a measure,
by the Teachers' Training Course
where even two or more teachers
or prospective teachers can be
brought togeteer. Teacher
training under County Superin
t. 3 - a r t tiTT.i

showing fine results. Miss
Blanche Smith's work on Pri
mary Teaching and Missionary
Instruction, shows a fine grasp
of the situation. Her home school
reports seventeen conversions
during the past year. The Divine
order to begin at Jerusalem
and afterwards to the uttermost
parts of the earth, is illustrated
in Fulton County's fine showing
of ministers and missionaries
sent out. Systematic temper
ance instruction is eaininz in
favor, and although Superintend
ent Brewer was not present, he
sent a strong paper bearing on
the subject A prohibition peti
tion addressed to President Wil
son was circulated and received
a large number of signatures.
It was forwarded immediately.
A general movement of this kind
might accomplish much good,
especially as the President has
declared himself as willing to be
guided by the wish of the people
in this particular.
The number of pupils in all the
schools in the County is more
than 4000; officers and teachers,
nearly 600. This is, perhaps, the
strongest moral force and spirit
ual uplift that our county pos
sesses. The various Sunday
schools reports Bhow, however,
that much work remains to be
done especially along the line of
Home Department, work. Mr.
Reel's program (1) a home de
partment in every school in the
County; (2) a better home de
partment where one already ex
ists; and (3; Everybody reached,
is wise and affective. Miss Mar
tha Kendall spoke with great
earnestness on her department of
the work.
For the following year, the
convention elected the following
officers: Persident, Rev. Lewis
Wible; vice president, George W.
Fisher; treasurer, Wilson L.
Nace, delegate to the next State
Convention, Lewis Wible. The
following persons constitute the
Field Force: secretary, Geo. A.
Comerer; elementary superin
tendent, Miss Grace Lodge; home
department, Mrs. C. B. Stevens;
teacher training, Rev. E. J.
Croft; O. A. B. C, Hon. John P.
Sipes; secondary division, Mrs.
Geo. W. Reisner; rural schools,
A. K. Nesbit; missionary, Miss
Blanche Smith; temperance, C.
J. Brewer.
Place of meeting of next con
vention not decided upon. The
attendance varied from 175 to
300, and taxed the seating ca
pacity of the new M. E. church
in which the sessions were held.
The resolution which brought
forth the most hearty response
was that thanking the kind
friends who so generously and
hospitably entertained the dele
gates during the convention.

One Who Was There.
Another Course Comp'ctcd.
The Chautauqua Literary and
Scientific Circle of McConnells-
burg held its last regular meet
ing for the 1916-17 term at Mrs.
L. Grove's last Monday even
ing, it has been customary to
hold a banquet at the close of
each term, but in view of the
distress in sister countries with
which we are allied in a great
war, the banquet will be omitted
for this time. Upon invitation of
Mrs. J. W. Mosser, the Circle
will meet at her home on Court
House Square, Tuesday evening,
une 5th, for purely social rec
reation and to wish fellow mem
bers a pleasant vacation until
they meet again next fall to take
up another splendid course of
reading.
Many subscribers to the News
will be interested to know what
books were read by the Circle
this winter. They saw the
monthly programs, but not the
titles of the books. The first
book "Germany Between Two
Wars," the wars being those of
1871 with France, and the pres
ent war. Second book "France
Under the Republic; "third book,
"Belgium the Land of Art;" and
the fourth book, "Things Men
FitfhtFor," afforded clear in
sight into the complicated en
tanglements of European politics
and ambitions that have resulted
in the whole world turning
against Prussian Militarism.
We repeat what we said in
these columns last fall, namely,
nothing better can be found for
town or country readers than a
reading club. We offered a val
uable book to the first country '
club reporting, but we have that
book still in our possession, for
the best of reasons no claimant.
Army Discipline.
An officer in an army training
csmp remarks that one of the
worst difficulties the army meets
is the American bovs' lack of
training in obedience. Our young
recruits are splendid fellows, as
alert and clean as those of any
race on earth. But American
family discipline is loose.
Many of the regulations will
perm arbitrary' and without any.
basis in reason to the boys. They
will want to stop and argue, and
may land in the guard house for
disrespect. Yet army life is
built on the idea of instant obe
dience. Only thus can a group of
men acquire the habit of action
as a unit.
It is the unity of a military
force that gives it its striking
power. The doing of things all

of action, makes a company of
men formidable and multinliea
