The Washington Twp. S. S. Ass'n, auxiliary to the Jefforson Co. Assocla tlon, held Its summer convention with the Sandy Valloy Union Sunday school Friday, Aug. Hth. An Interesting con ventlon throughout was the verdict of those present. The attendance was good, though it certainly would have boon larger bad not the belated haying and on coming oats kept many at home. The following are some of the leading features of the convention: An address, on "Neoessay Preparation for S. S, Work," by Rev. A. Z. Myers, followed on same subject by McCurdy Hunter. Discussion on "Objects to be arrived at in 8. 8. Teaching," by A. T. McClure and Revs. Hill and Hlmes. Roy. A A. Bird gave a most Interesting outline of Paul's travels and missionary work from a map. It was well worth attend' ing the convention to hear this feature alone, and it was both entertaining and instructive. Dr. Conway was expected for the evening service, but was de tained. Rev. Myers, by request, took up the subjoct omitted in the afternoon, "How Shall a 8. 8. be Induced to Read the Bible?" The question box, by Rev. G. H. Hill, brought out some helpful suggestions. A paper by Miss Marga ret Smith, on "Obstacles to Success," was helpful and well received. Excel lent recitations were given during the day by Miss Curtis Patterson, Miss Ella McClure and Miss Nellie Smith. An Interesting feature of the conven tlon was the singing by Grove Summit Quartette. Excellent muslo was also furnished by the Falls Creek choir, Miss Roberta Ayres and Rev. A. G. Mills. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Rev. A. Z. Myers, of Aliens Mills; vice president, A. T. Mc Clure; secretary, John Walte, P. O. address, Reynoldsville; treasurer, Mo Curdy Hunter. President Timlin and Secretary Hunter retire from office feeling that the year's work has been success and that the work In the town ship Is prospering.
