John- son Reelected — Officers Chosen Again—Miss Ellen Coit Reported on Internation” al Convention at Chicago. Over 150 delegates representing some half hundred Sunday schools in New London county gathered at the First Baptist church on Wednesday at_the Fifth annual convention of ihe New London county Sunday school associ- ation. The large assemblage mani- fested much enthusiasm in the work of the convention which consisted of the hearing of the various reports of the departmental work, the election of officers to serve the coming. year and addresses on several topics of vital interest to the association. There were two sessions, one in the morning and the other in the after- noon, with a recess at noontime during which guite a few of those present en- joyed the delicious menu served by the ladies of the First Baptist church in the church basement as follows: Cold Ham Cabbage Salad in Tomato Shells Sweet and White Potatoes Baked Beans Pickles Brown Bread Rolis Apple Pie Pumpkin Pie Tea Coffee Mixed Fruit. ‘The_ladies in charge of the luncheon were Mrs. Minnie Amburn, Mrs. Fred Wilson, Mrs. Arthur Howard, Mrs. Charles Cross, Mrs. Hervert Willey and Mrs. Frank Lathrop, while the wait- resses were Mrs. Arthur Blackledge, Mrs. William Breed, Mrs. Anna Swan, and Mrs. William Koonz. Mrs. William Gilchrist sold luncheon tickets. _ Morning Session. The morning session opened at 10:47 o'clock with a_ praise:and devotional service led by. Rev. G. H. Strouse, the pastor of the church., After this a most interesting report of the Interna- tional Convention at Chicago was given by Miss Ellen Coit, state dele- gate. In part Miss Coit's report was as_follows: I wish to emphasize some of the things seen and heard at the Great International Convention which wa would not be likely to experience at our state convention. In the first place the audience was composed of strong men and women from al over the world with the looks on their faces which we all recognize of work done— and better work. It was an impressive sight to watch the welcome accorded to the two Japanese delegates who were there from that flowery kingdom to extend ah invitation to Japan in 1916 to the niext world’s Sunday school conven- tion. Another impressive meeting I at- tended was at the Moody church. Dingy and battered looking but truly a temple of God, where the Holy Spirit has touched hundreds of men. The conferences were most helpful. Monday afternoon there was a confer- ence on graded lessons in the parish house of the Fourth ~Presbyterian church. The Teacher Training con- ference on Tuesdar afternooR was a most helpful one. There were nearly twice as many men present as women, and all very much in earnest in this matter of teacher training. Delegates if we are to win the boys and girls for Christ not one here and there, but all of them we must have faithful teachers, who know what they are to teach; who know whom thes are to teach: and who know how to teach. How can they know unless they themselves are taught? Miss Coit closed by quoting *“Our Aim” which is as follows: Our aim God as revealed in na- is to know ture, in the heart of man and in Christ. To exercise toward God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, trust, obedience and worship. To kgow and to do our duty to God and to dthers, and to know and do our duty to ourselves. The Bugle Call was then sung with Mrs, E. LaRue Bliven at the piano. The Secondary Department. The Secondary Department was the subject of the address given by Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff pastor of the Second Congregational church, which was presenited in an interesting and convinecing manner. Rev. Mr. Wyckoff has made this subject a study and spoke from ex- perience. He opened by stating that there were different kinds of Sunday schools. Some schools meet within four walls and then there are those who divide themselves into classes and go each into a separate room. There are three clear cut divisions in your schools, he said, and the lines are clearly drawn. The first division is the period before adolescence the sec- ond sithe period during adolescence and the last is the period after adolescence. This makes the three sorts of lines in the school such as. the feeling, the thinking and the epeaking. The speaker told of the manner of conducting a. primary class and of the adults, the latter to be fed of solid meat and not of milk as is the' younger. Then there is the primary or secondary division which is as “distinct as are the other two. ‘Any ome going to teach this division should bear in mind they are as dis- tinct from each other as morning is from night The greatest question, said the speaker is, how is the teacher going to get into the crowd or gansg. He sald that would come alright as the teacher would be invited and by being one of them in appearance but continuing with loftier thoughts and sayings which would not be recogniz- ed as rebukes there would be cement- ed a friendship that would be lasting. It depends on the teacher whether the class members will be guided right. Organizations Important. A forceful and convincing address on the Adult Department was then given by General Secretary. Edwin Hil! of the Y, M. C. A. He said the teach- er does not realize the importance of organization. Where there is organi- zation the spirit put imto teaching is superior. 1f there is one weak spot that stands out in church and Sunday school work, the speaker said, it ap- peared to him it was in the fact that the individual is not given enough to do. He pointed out the great suc- cess of the German army against the allied forces and gave it as his opla- fon that organization was back of it all. What stands back of the promin- ent saloons off the best street corners. Nothing but liquor traffic organiza- tlon. We must have organization “in the Sunday school to accomplish re- sults he said. It helps to develop abil- ity. It brings out efficiency and the best there is in a man or woman. Or- ganization makes the connections be- tween ability and need and by _apply- inz need and abaility with efficiency the greatest results are obtained. Afterncon Session. cheon recess the after- ssion was called to order at 2 and Rev. F. W. Coleman of Trinity M. E. church led the praise and devotional service. The meeting was then turned over to the President, H. D. Johnson, who was also the pre- siding officer at_the morning session. Secretary W. 1. Woodin told in an in- teresting manner of the njans thaf aze After noon s o’clock D i ey ke RRREMATD AT Old People ' Here strengthener and There's YOUTH ant to take, e M 52 SCHOOLS ounty Sunday School Conven- is Nature’s own b:iid.r. and full of the life-giving sated With Him Al properties you need most. ! T The Perfect Tonic ASK ANY DRUGGIST being made for the big_convention to be held at Meriden on Nov. 4, 5 and §, and urged the delegates to see to it that their schools were represented at the gathering. The _Connecticut State Sunday School Convention is the annual inter. denominational gathering of Sunday- school workers. It is designed to rep- resent all the Sunday schools of the state. Every school is entitled to two offi- cial delegates in addition to its pastor and superintendent, who are ex-offi delegates. Last year was the first time that the- institute section of the con- vention was introduced. This feature proved so satisfactory that it has nof only been retained but the plan will be enlarged. There will be ten sessions of nine periods each. The institute will occupy the forenoon of each day, beginning at .9 o'clock. There: will be the usual . denominational conferences, when the delegates of each denomina- tion may get together for the -discus- sion of problems peculiar to their pa: ticular work and to plan how best to attain their denomipational standard of efficiency. There will be 18 addresses before the main convention, 80 half hour lectures in the institute section, 17 open con- ferences and the Sunday school pa- geant. It will not lack _inspiraticn and yet it will be severely educational and practical. Special attention will be given to the rural school and work with the immigrant. There will be six Bible periods in the convention, one each ‘morning and afternoon. The Rev. Floyd W. Tom- kins, D.. D, rector of Holy Trinity. Episcopal church, Philadelphia, will have charge of this work. His sub- jects are: 1,. Lows 2, Knowledge; 3, Hope; 4, Courage; 5, Patiente; .6, Fellowship. Doubtless no dther man i this country is so peculiarly fitted to conduct the devotions of a convention as is Dr. Tomkins. ‘Arrangements are being made for a supper for “the old_guard” of Con- necticut Sunday school workers Thurs- day evening, Nov. 5. Only.those who have been continuously in service for 20 years or more are eligible. There will be four or five " after-dinner speeches and a general social time. Mr. Lawrance will be the guest of honor. Thomas L. Norton will act as toast- ‘master. | - Send for Descriptive Bookiet KING'S PUREMALT DEPARTMENT 36-38 Hawley St. Boston Miss Winifred Welles has been. en- tertaining Miss Lucy Lord of New York. K et .

On the County Work. The next business was the hearing of the reports of the eounts work. ' Miss Anna H. Thresher, the treasurer, pre- sented her report. Therbalance at the last annual meeting was $8.06. During the year there was received from in- diviquals the sum of $286, from Sun- day schools in the county $453.38 and from miscellaneous sources $40.61, and contributions to the debt reduction fund amounted to $111. A_detailed ac- count of the expenses was glven . by Miss Thresher. 3 A Miss Coit rea the secietary’s_report on the meeting-held at New London last spring, and Miss Coit also, report- ed on the teacher training work done in the last six months. There are now 13 teacher training classés in the coun- y, and several more are planned for. The teacher training is an important division of the associations’ work. Mrs. F. F. Richards reported for the home department. She said the home department belongs to all es and not, as commonly supposed, 1o the.el- derly people. The thought of the home department is “for others,” and the aim “until all are reached.” Richards said that 44 of the schools in the association now have home departments, which sohws an increase over last year. As Miss Jennie L. Congdon, the ele- mentary superintendent, was unable to Dbe present, her report was read by Mrs. Arthur M. Brown of Jewett City. The report covered.75 of the 113 schools and showed that these schools had 317 elementary teachers and a to- tal of 2,688 children in the elementary departments. Twenty-one of - the. schools have all three departments and 56 have at-least one department. Standing of the Districts. President H. D. Johnson in reporting: read the requirements of the associa- tion and then gave the standing of the five districts in the county to date. ‘When a district reaches the maximum number of points, 12, it is classed a front line district, and if it has 9 points or over it is a banner district.
