THE SUCCESSFUL
SUNDAY SCHOOL
County President J. A. Page Dis
cusses Needs of Sunday
School Work
To the Sunday School workers
of Independence county:
At a recent meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of our County
Sunday School Association, Mrs.
Jane Dodd of Newark was ap
pointed Superintendent of the Ele
mentary Division and J. L. May
of Newark Superintendent of the
Home and Visitation Department.
Both have accepted the work as
signed to them, and will be glad
to render all possible assistance to
those interested in these lines of
work.
Superintendents were also ap
pointed for the other divisions
subject to their acceptance.
We are hoping to soon have
a real working organization
and that great good may be ac
complished by the Sunday schools
of our county during this year.
However, the present officers and
those to be appointed can only
direct the work and encourage, in
struct and assist the workers. The
real work must be done in the
several schools by the local work
ers.
I shall not be able to meet all of
the workers during the year much
as I should like to do so. It is hard
ly practicable for me to write to
each of you personally in regard
to the various phases of our work.
In veiw of these facts, I have ask
ed the editor of The Newark Jour
nal, and he has very kindly con
sented, to give space in The Jour
nal from time to time for notes in
regard to the Sunday school in
terests of our county.
I wish first of all to impress up
on the minds of all Sunday school
workers the fact that in all of our
work, we have, or should have,
constantly in mind a three-fold
purpose.
1st. To win to Christ those in
our schools who are not Christians.;
2nd. To build up in Christ
those who are weak.
3rd. To so train these Christ
ians that we may send them forth
for christ.
Since as before stated, the real
must be done by the local workers
in the several schools, I wish to say
a few words in regard to the suc
cessful Sunday school. Some one
speaking along this line has said,
“The successful Sunday school
does not happen; it has to be made,
then after it has been made it has
to be maintained from week to
week, from year to year, or it will
soon loose the word successful.”
This is quite true, and it is
equally true that no school has a
right to call itself “successful” un
less in all of its work the above
three-fold purpose is kept con
stantly in veiw.
But how may we make a suc
cessful Sunday school? We may
have a good house, good location,
good singing, good lesson helps—
these are necessary; but we may
have all of these and yet we may
have no right to call our Sunday
school “successful,” because we
have not a good attendance.
There are many good methods
of teaching, there are many ways
to reach the hearts of the young
people, and the older ones, in the
Sunday school. There are scores
of excellent lesson helps and a
multitude of soul-winning songs,
but these are all of no use what
ever unless the scholar is there.
In our conventions we frequent
YOUNG LADY IS
KILLED BY TRAIN
Hiss Tressie Brown of Strangers
Home Killed by Hast Freight
Train at Swifton
Swifton, Dec. 9.—Miss Tressie
Brown, the eighteen-year-old
daughter of J. W. Brown, a farm
er living near Strangers’ Home,
was killed yesterday morning by a
fast freight train ySst in front of
the depot at this place.
The girl had been staying with
the family of William Hale in
Swifton for a month and had
started to the station the north
bound passenger train for a visit
with her parents. The freight
train was passing ahead of the
passenger, and in crossing the
track she ran directly in front of
the engine. The heavy beam of
the pilot struck her inflicting fatal
injuries. She died in less than an
hour, without regaining conscious
ness. The accident qccured at
the platform, in view of about 20
people, who were waiting for the
passenger train.
ly discuss various plans and de
vices for securing a regular at
tendance.
These plans and devices are
numerous and some of them are
good, but the real secret of success
lies in securing the right kind of
officers and teachers. Of these I
will speak in my next article.
If I can be of service to you in
whatever department of Sunday
school work, you may be engaged,
do not hesitate to call on, or write
me, at Dota, Ark.
Yours for more and better Sun
day schools. J. A. Page.

W. D. Gray is moving to Bates

Fine hog-killing weather and a
good many are butchering.
Tom Fife and Basil Wingo of
Newport spent Sunday here.
B. M. Wingo of Newport was
up Saturday visiting his sister.
H. H. and A. Z. Shipp of Hut

W. A. Mayhue spent Thursday

J. C. Outlaw bagged two quails
Saturday and was very puny Sun

Zed Griffith was visiting his sis

E. W. Adams of Batesville was
in Oil Trough Sunday and Mon

Frank Sullivan and son, Claud,

Its cold on this side of the river

James Hill came in Saturday
from Sulphur where he has been

Believe they say Christmas
comes on the 25th of December
this year. If so, it is not far off.
Why shouldn’t Congress pass a
law forbidding any newspaper
passing through the mail that car
ries liquor advertising? And why
eject from the mail any letter that
carries liquor advertising or an
order for whiskey. This is a pro
hibition district and yet it is a
dumping ground for liquor adver
tising. The liquor business is do
ing a lot more harm to the young
manhood of the country than the
lottery business ever did, and the
lottery business is prohibited the
use of the mails.
A PERSONAL WORO WITH
JEWELRY BUYERS
Considering that there are some
people in Newark and vicinity that
buy jewelry at other towns rath
er than Newark, I am appealing
to you in this manner.
As we can tell very little about
the quality of jewelry by seeing
it, we merely have to take the
dealers word about the worth of
it. Then isn’t it reasonable that
your home jeweler and your friend
will give you a better deal than a
stranger?
I will sell you a watch or any j
jewelry cheaper than it is ordi
narily sold for.
Do not send your order away
but bring it to me and I will glad
ly meet any prices listed. My
stock is large enough that you will
find most any article of jewelry
that you would want.
1 have studied your Xmas wants
and bought accordingly.
If you are looking for a Xmas
Gift for some one see if I haven’t i
got one to suit you.
Buy now while my stock is com
plete. Yours for a square deal.
W. D. Hinson,
Jeweler.
