C BAPTISTS REVISE CONFERENCE PLAN Will Hold Sessions of Sunday School Leaders Biennial- ly After 1929. Following the third Southerm Bap- tist Sunday School conference at Tulsa, { Okla., January 15-18, the conference will become a biennial rather than an annual affair, according to an_an- nouncement by Dr. I J. Van Ness, executive secretary of the Baptist Sun- day school board. This means that the fourth conference will be held in 1931. i The Sunday school board will continue | to sponsor the conferences in the future { just as it has in the past. All South Reached. When the Tulsa conference has been held in the western section of ‘the ter- ritory of the Southern Baptist Conven- tion, every major division of the con- vention’s territory will have been touched with one of these great Sun- day school gatherings, the first having been held at Memphis, in the center, in 1927, and the second at Greenville, S. C, in the eastern section, in 1928. With every section of the South having been touched, the need for an annual conference will no longer exist, it was stated. The purpose of the conference, Dr. Van Ness explains, is not to promote the general Sunday school idea, for that has for long been well established in the plans and programs of Southern Baptists. The conference seeks to pro- mote the most effective methods for carrying out every phase of Sunday school work. Departure to be Made. At Tulsa the same general plan of both departmental and general con- ferences that has been previously em- ployed will be cnrrle% out, with spe- clalists from every field of Sunday school endeavar participating on the programs. A departure from the pro- grams of other years will be made at ‘Tulsa, when the departments of church administration and daily vacation Bible school wil hold their conferences at the same hours as the general programs. This will enable workers interested in these two departments of work fos- tered by the Sunday school board to attend them without neglecting the conferences on any department of Sun- day school work in which they are engaged.
