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. S. Rhoads,
Simon Snyder,
bik Joseph Walker, Com. :
The program given in its entirety
in a recent issue of the Commercial
was very effectively carried out and
those who were in attendance must |
have been greaty benefitted.

“We have made arrangements by
which our subscribers may obtain a

cluding The Tragic Destruction of the
Lusitania.”
This book measures 6 x 8 3-4 inches
containing 32 full page half-tone illus-
‘trations, colored frontispiece and ma-
ny additional pictures, plans and
maps. It is beautifully printed on fine
paper and handsomely and strongly

trays frightful incidents of the new
kind of warfare. Detailed diagrams
show how bombs, torpedoes, etc.

Skim Cream on Bottles.
A novel method of skimming all’
bottle or like vessel is to use a large
round disk of rubber which takes a
slightly concave shape, it being hung
apon three light aluminum rods or
wires. Slipping the disk in edgewise
and below the surface, it then takes
the flat position and can be drawn out
with all the cream.
To Overrule Timidity.
Don’t believe that you are unable to
. overcome timidity. You think you are

to control conditions and people in
a way to humor it. Start the fight

self alone, and without the money to
buy yourself an audience for your pe-
culiarities.
