ASKS REPORT FROM
SUNDAY SCHOOLS
County President Urges Various
Schools to Report Condtions
to County Secretary
This week, I wish to call atten
tion to a few matters that are of
vital importance to the Sunday
school interests of our county, and
will defer the futher discussion
of “The Successful Sunday School”
until a later date.
In a letter recently received
from H. E. Lufkin, general secre
tary of the Arkansas Sunday
School Association, Mr. Lufkin
speaks of our county as one of
the few working counties of the
state, and states that the officers
of our state association are looking
to these working counties to estab
lish a record that the workers may
hold up before other counties as
an incentive to greater endeavor.
Continuing, Mr. Lufkin says: We
are anxious that your county shall
secure a report from each individ
ual school, as well as an offering
to the county and state work. We
believe that this is one of the best
ways to bring the schools into the
right relationship with our work.”
I very heartily endorse this
opinion, and hope that the work
ers in the various schools of the
county will co-operate with the
officers of our county association
in carrying out the work here sug
gested.
We have reports for the past
year from the following schools:
Charlotte, New Hope, Batesville
First Methodist, St. Paul’s, Bates
ville First Christian, Bethesda,
Walnut Grove, Moorefield, Bates
ville Central Avenue, Flat Hock,
Mt. Zion, Newark Methodist, Al
derbrok, Salado Methodist, Sul
phur Rock Methodist, Black River,
Oak Ridge and Hopewell.
Look over this list carefully and
if your school is not in the list,
write our county secretary, Mrs.
J. B. Stewart, Newark, giving the
following information.
Name ofjschool, name and ad
dress of pastor, superintendent
and secretary, denomination, num
ber of months school is held dur
ing the year, enrollment and aver
age attendance.
We are expected to pay $100
toward defraying the expenses of
the state Association and it will
require at least $25 to pay for pro
grams, postage and etc., in connec
tion with the work of our county
association.
This $125 must be raised by con
tributions by the several schools
and by individuals. Let each sup
erintendent see that an offering is
taken in his school as soon as
j practicable and hand or send the
I amount to Mrs. J. B. Stewart, as
directed above, or to G. A. Forest
I er, treasurer, Cord, Ark.
The need of prompt action in
these matters is very urgent.
What are you going to do about
it?
The Sunday school at Bethesda
has requested that the next coun
ty convention be held at that
place.
If there are other places that de
sire to entertain this convention I
shall be glad to hear very soon
from interest parties.
Our state workers are planning
to hold a series of Sunday school
institutes in each county desiring
them. Usually four institutes of
one day each are held in different
parts of the county and are a great
stimulus to better Sunday school
work. I shall be glad to corre
spond with interested parties at
any place desiring such work dur
nig this winter.
Yours for more and better Sun
schools. J. A. PAGe, Dota, Ark.
President Independence County
Sunday School Association.

WOULD SAVE STATEHOUSE
Arkansas Women Favor Reten
tion of historic Building
Little Rock, Dec. 14.—The Wo
man’s Auxiliary of the Arkansas
History Commission held a meet
ing in Little Rock last evening and
adopted resolutions advocating the
preservation of the old State
House on Markham and Center
Streets. The members of the
auxiliary agreed to use their in
fluence with the next Legislature
to prevent the sale of the proper
ty and to do all in their power to
have the old landmark preserved
for the purpose of storing histor
ical data, relics and other matter
for the edification of future gener
ations.

RANEY’S CHANCE FOR
PRESIDENCY GOOD
Interesting Contest Being Waged
Preliminary to Organiza
tion of Legislature
Little Rock, Dec. 16.—With the
38th General Assembly only
four weeks away, Legislative poli
tics is beginning to assume an in
teresting aspect. At the present
time there appears to be fewer as
pirants for clerical positions than
usual, probably for the reason
that the session can be for only 75
days, and that it is well known
there will be more of a spirit of
economy and retrenchment than
has prevailed heretofore.
Naturally the interest centers in
the contests for the Presidency of
the Senate and the speakership of
the House, and the hotel lobbies
bear evidence of the fact the sup
porters of the various candidates
are getting busy thus far in ad
vance.
For the Presidency, there are
three aspirants, W. K. Oldham, of
Lonoke, the Robinson candidate,
A. C. Martin of Faulkner and T. J.
Raney of Newark. At least two
of these, Raney and Martin, claim
they have something like fifteen
pledges, while Oldham is claiming
that he holds the balance of pow
er. It is certain that in neither
race, especially for President, has
any one candidate a majority.
Who will profit by the released
pledges when one of the three in
each race withdraws is the con
jecture which makes both uncer
tain. The friends of A. C. Martin
say that his election is certain, but
the friends of Raney and Oldham
are none the less confident, and at
this time the outlook rather indij
cates Raney’s election.
