Quite a large nnmlcr of delegates

sive resjKMise thereto was made by
ltev. L. Dice of Beavertown, Pa.
The topic "Convention as a Fac
tor in S. S. and K. L. C. E. Work"
was then presented by Prof. F. C.
Bowersox, showing that every move
ment grows out of necessity ; that
conventions are held for the reason
that the need for them was feltjcon
trasting good schools and societies
and poor ones ; to form closer union
with the IkxIv of the church ; to fos
ter a Christian fellowship among
workers in the caus whose field of
operations lie in totally different
communities. 1 he discussion was
further elalxjrated upon bv ltev.

pera.
The topic "What Harm tan the
occasional Game and Drink do ?
was assigned to ltev. Geo. Joseph,
but on account oi his absence, the
chairman appointed ltev. J. Lcuver
to oih'H the subject which he did in
a pointed, forcible and characteristic
manner. Many excellent thoughts
were produced in the debate which
ensued between Messrs. Howell,
fSechrist, Dunklelerger, Daisy Gift,
Mrs. Bowen and Rev. Hertz.
After a spirited tow by Miss
Hughes, ltev. Lauver and Chairman
Howell, the convention considered
Uie topic "To what extentshould the
S. S. be controlled by the church?"
In the al)sence of ltev. Koontz, C.

ing address in which he affirmed
that the church should have a con
trolling influence over the school
and lie the authority through which
and by which the S. S. should act
and lie amenable.
The convention was delighted in
having the presence of ltev. J. D.
Short ins, who has leen a faithful at
tendant upon all the sessions of the
convention since the inception of the
organization, and who for the present
convention traveled all the way from
Ilughesville to render efficient ser
vice in making this convention a
special success.
After singing spirited songs, a
collection was taken to meet the in
cidental expenses of the convention.
Ilev. Hertz pronounced the bene
diction and the convention adjourn
ed for the forenoon.
In the afternoon devotional exer
cises were led bv ltev. Iauver. A
very interesting and profitable Chil
dren's meeting was conducted bv
Miss Daisy Gift and ltev. Lauver.
A goodly number of children were
present and by their eager responses
to questions asked evinced that they
were both pleased and earnest in the
special meeting held for them. Con
siderable music by the little folks
interspersed the interesting addresses
of the conductors of the meeting.
The convention again resumed the
discussion of the program prepared
by the Committee and the next on the
bill was the presentation of the topic
"The Duty of Giviug and the Sin of
Withholding that which we owe to
the Lord." In the absence of Rev.
J. F. Shultz, Prof. Bowersox was
appointed to open the same. The
topic was further discussed by others.
"How should the S. S. Teacher
apiH-ar before his class?" was then
presented by ltev. J. M. Price and
further delated by ltev. Shortiss

ltev. Sltortiss.
In tne evening the church was
again crowded. The devotional ex
ercises were conducted by Miss Mary

that Threaten the Young People."

ltev. Ijiiuver. Some pertinent re
marks were made by others.

"Lineage and Family Records of
Alfred Wyman Hoar and his wife
Josephine Jackson, with notes on the
early history of Wright County,
Minnesota." The above is the title
of a pamphlet that has just reached
our desk. It has been compiled by
Alfred Wyman Hoar (Lock Box 127)
Mouticello, Minnesota. It was pub
lished in Feb. 1898, pp. 50. This
book traces the author's descent from
Chas. Hoare of Gloucester, England,
and contains some information alxnit
branches of the Hunt, Baleman, Wy
man, Brown, Jackson and McCoff
Families. The records are those of
branches that were largely personal
ly collected by the author and were
never liefore published. The work
was printed at Mr. Hoar's own ex
peuse and while he has set no price
upon the work, he will appreciate a
small contribution to pay postage
bills. It is the only accurate record,
of the Hoar Family. Many records
in the histories of New England
towns are inaccurate. Mr. Hoar is
still engaged in collecting data. He
is anxious to have a complete record
