COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOL MEETING
New Officers Elected and More
Effective Work Planned
For Coming Year
The Independence County Sun
day School Convention met in the
Methodist church at Bethesda, at
1:30 p. m. Thursday July 31. Coun
ty President J. A. Page presided
and, in the absence of the regular
secretary, J. R. Bullington was
chosen temporary secretary. Nine
teen schools were reported. Miss
Minnie Allen, state worker, was
present during the entire conven
tion. The program was rendered as
published with some variations.
The president’s address showed
that the number of townships or
ganized since last convention had
increased from six to fourteen.
During a talk by Prof. Sidney
Pickens, it developed that only
two-thousand people, out of twen
ty five thousand in the county,
were attending Sunday School. So
the attention of the convention
was directed toward plans to get
and keep a larger attendance.
Miss Allen made several instruc
t ive and inspiring addresses. Her
talk or. “What to Do With Our
Salvation” brought out facts
startling enough to rouse the mind
of the most careless to thought
and action.
Rev. C. F. Hively, of V* est Bates
ville, made talks on, “The Need of
Trained Workers” and “The Pre
pared Teacher,” both of which
were very interesting.
H. E. Lufkin, state secretary,
arrived Friday morning and con
ducted a round table discussion of
Sunday School problems. In the
afternoon he delivered an address
emphasizing the importance of or
ganization.
The following resolution was
unanimously adopted by the con
vention.
“That, in view of the fact that
there are 23,000 people in our
county out of Sunday School, we
exert ourselves to double our mem
bership before the next Convention
Second. That every Sunday
School here represented organize a
Training Class for Teachers, that
we may be better fitted to work
for the Master.
Third. That each member of
this Convention go home deter
mined to be a live wire in his com
munity, that the light of the Cos
pel of Jesus Christ may shine
through our every-day lives.
Fourth. That we tendtr our
warmest thanks and appreciation
to the good people of Bethesda
for the hospitality, thoughtfulness,
and the welcome they have given
us, we feel that we can scarcely
express our appreciation in words.
The following officers were elect
ed for the ensuing year.
