WAYNE COUNTY
SUNDAY SCHOOL
WORKERS MEET.
Enthusiastic GutlierinK f Christian
Workers nt Bethany.
The annual convention of the
Wayne County Sunday School Asso
ciation met at Bethany on Friday, In
the Presbyterian church. This edi
fice is the oldest house of worship
standing in the county. Work on
construction commenced in 1822,
and it was not completed until 1835.
The church cost $5,000.. A number
of ministers labored In this church
until Rev. E. O. Ward was called to
the pastorate In 1853, and continued
in the field until compelled to dis
continue on account of age. Rev.
J. B. Cody Is now pastor of the Beth
any church.
The first Sunday schools in this
county were organized in 1818.
There were three schools organized
that year at Bethany, Canaan and
Salem. An interesting incident of
the Canaan school Is that Abigail
Frlsble recited' 3..062 verses on
eight Sundays, for which she receiv
ed a Bible and hymn book. The
Bethany Sunday school was organ
ized July 19, 1818, in the court
house at that place, with six teach
ers, 30 scholars, and V. M. Dlbol as
superintendent. This school organ
ized as association in 1819 for the
opening of schools elsewhere and
through the work of this organiza
tion Sunday schools were started in
other parts of the county. Rev. E.
O. Ward superintended this school
for more than 30 years and It Is
still in existence. There was a Sun
day school union movement in the
county about 1830, but the greatest
organized Sunday school movement
in Wayne county was in 1871, when
the Wayne County Sabbath School
Association was organized in the
Presbyterian church at Honesdale.
The convention proper opened at
10:30 a. m. with devotions led by
Rev. W. B. Slgnor, pastor of the
Bethany Methodist church. Rev. J.
B. Cody, pastor of tho Presbyterian
church in which tho convention
was held, gave the "Welcome to
Bethany" address. R. M. Stocker,
Esq., of Honesdale, Wayne county's
historian, then gave a most interest
ing talk upon "Bethany, the First
Home of Sabbath Schools In This
Section." The next half hour was
spent in receiving reports from the
different departments upon the fol
lowing subjects and offered by the
following persons:
"Teaching Training," Rev. A. L.
Whittaker, rector of Grace Episco
pal church. Several good points
were brought out. "Adult Bible
Class," J. A. Bodle. Mr. Bodle's
report was extremely interesting.
"Home Department," Miss Grace
Hall. She gave a number of sound
facts that furnished thought for re
flection. Miss Caroline A. Kallsch,
who presented "Primary Depart
ment and Cradle Roll," thoroughly
understood her subject and offered
a number of suggestions that are
helpful to teachers of the primary
department.
The addresB of the morning was
given by Mrs. M. J. Baldwin, a field
worker. She gave an Interesting
half-hour talk upon "Self Training
of the Elementary Teacher." The
speaker Is an enthusiastic Sunday
school worker and her address was
highly appreciated.
The afternoon exercises were open
ed at 2 o'clock by a song and praise
meeting conducted by Miss Cody,
At 2:15 W. D. Reed of the Pennsyl
vania State field, spoke upon "Prac
tical Methods in tho Modern Sunday
School." At 2:45 J. A. Brown of
Honesdale, spoke upon "How to
Keep Our Young People Interested
In the Sunday School.' This was
followed by an address on "Our New
Graded Lessons,'" by Mrs. M. J.
Baldwin. At 3:30 Rev. A. L.
Whittaker spoke on "Open Confer
ence," Rev. W. H. Hlller on "The
Sunday School vs. The Saloon," and
Rev. W. S. Peterson on "The Sun
day Schools In Mission Fields."
The evening session convened at
7:30, after a session of song and
praise, led by Miss Cody. Rev. G.
S. Wendell spoke on "The Teacher
in Training," who was followed by
W. D. Reel whose subject was
"Round Table Conference." 'After
report of committees the following
officers were elected: Andrew
Thompson, President; William J.
Ward, Vice President; C. R. Calla
way, secretary; M. E. Simons, treas
urer, and Rev. J. B. Cody, district
superintendent.
WHITNEY SUSTAINS COOK.
Tells How They Had to Subdue
Boatswain and That Doctor
Told of Pole.
Boston, Oct. 2. Threats of death
and savage bickerings at Etah on
the frozen shores of North Green
land attended the arrival at the
Peary camp there of Dr. Frederick.
A. Cook. On one occasion, when
appealing to Boatswain John Mur
phy, of the Roosevelt, to extend the
courtesies of the camp to the wasted
and half-famished explorer Cook,
Harry Whitney, the young New
Haven sportsman, who came here
from fourteen months in the Arctic
Circle, was threatened with an axe
by Murphy and had to threaten
Murphy in turn with a shotgun be
fore the fiery boatswain's temper
cooled.
This and other quarrels with Mur
phy at Etah are the secrets that
Whitney has so closely guarded and
concerning which he refuses to ut
ter a syllable. To friends who came
down from St. John's, N. F., with
him after he left the Jennie on
Tuesday he unbosomed himself. He

told them of many months of bick
erings and quarrels with Murphy;
of Murphy's bulldozing and bully
Ins methods, and of the final quarrel
over Cook's stores and the Peary
provisions at Etah, In which the
boatswain flared up with savage
fury and raised an axe to attack
him.
The cabin boy, Pritchard, It seems,
was on Whitney's side In this quar
rel and seized a gun, ns did Whit
ney. Murphy 1b a gangling, raw-boned
Newfoundlander who can neither
read nor write; a man of volcanic
temper and an arm of steel. Futile
rumors of an unpleasantness at Etah
between Murphy and Whitney have
been simmering since the inception
of the Cook .controversy. Whitney
has frankly told the few friends ho
met since his return to civilization
that he was forced to leave the
Peary camp and go and live among
the Esquimaux.
Having been placed In charge of
the Peary stores at Etah, and at the
same time having been Instructed
by Peary to likewise exercise a su
pervision over the Cook stores there,
Murphy took his responsibilities
tremendously to heart In a purely
primeval way.
And strange as it may seem, it
was to a man of this calibre, a man
of dense ignorance, that Peary left
written Instructions concerning what
should be done with Cook's and his
own stores.
When Murphy had finally been
cowed by Whitney and! hia plucky
little champion Pritchard Cook was
naturally deeply Indebted to them
for their services on his behalf. So
It came about that he told Whitney
and Pritchard about having been to
the North Pole, whereas he had not
a word to say on the subject to the
bullying boatswain. Little Pritch
ard kept the secret locked in his
bosom until It was drawn from him
by interviewers at Battle Harbor.
"I admire Peary Immensely," said
Whitney to-day, "and believe he
should receive the applause of the
world for the great work he has
done; I also admire Cook for h.s
wonderful achievement, believing
firmly that the story he tells about
being to the Pole Is true."
