(4) A good ending. H. O. Caster spoke on "Decatur County Sunday School Work, "and showed very conclusively that urlestciti.ens come from Sunday School communities and the undesirable ones from other place. Mr.

Stem spoke on "The real use of class organization" which is "To have a working place for every one and every one at work." He is a man with a mes-agc for the world and every word is full of practical usefulness. Friday afternoon, Rev. V. E. Scott spoke on "What the bible is to me, and what 1 know about it." J.

While we cannot use space to tell of the good thimrs in all of the above let us ue thoj-e two of Mr. Stem's pointed teachings: "It is better to put ten men to work than do the work of 1 ten men." "It is a sin for any Sunday school to lc even one person smaller than it might be." Holla Harger made a good talk on the same subject.

Secretary Engle then spoke on the Worlds Sunday School Convention at Washington, which he attended. The balance of the session was used for reports of committees and necessary business work. The noou hour was sjK-nt at the church by nearly all and disclosed the one horrible feature of the convention and the hard-heartedness of the people in the visible fact that chickens by tlie dozen had perished miserably the day ln-fore and yet no one shed a tear. A portion of the afternoon session was used ior the completion of business. Tiie new ollk-ers are: II.
