The Committee on made the following report: Resolved—Since much less time is required to get the printed report of the schools before the convention than was required under the old cus tom of reading it, and since the print- ed report is of much greater and more permanent value, we therefore rec- ommend that a similar report be prin- ted for future conventions. i Since an ideal, or vision of the pos- sibilities and duties of a school, is an incentive to greater achievement, we would therefore urge the schools to make every possible effort to reach the goal set by the Lutheran Sunday Schoo! Standard and that in the next Directcry and annual report a list of the schgols attaining this standard be printed as an Honor Roll That as a result of the continued ' agitation on the part of Christians a- gainst the organized liquor traffic the victory is gradually but surely being won, we therefore urge the members of the schools to continue to earnestly and zealously in this fight until the victory be fully and finally won. That we by a rising vote, express our grateful appreciation and sincere thanks to the following:—To the pas- tor and people of Zion Lutheran church, Meyersdale, for the kind re- ception and the generous hospitality accorded us; To the choir which so ably assisted in the service of song; To Prof. I. H. Mack for his genial lea- dership in directing the music of the convention; To the Executive Commit tee for the splendid program provid- ed; To Drs. L. B. Wolf anda C. P. Wiles for their presence and their in- spiring illuminating messages; To theLutheran Publication Society for its splendid exhibit of literature; To | all who in any way who helped to | make the convention a success, H.
