Sunday School Convention

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

WASHTENAW COUNTY WORKERS GET TOGETHER

In a Two Days Convention With Fine Result--Conventions to be Held in Every Township.

The two days convention of the Washtenaw Sunday School association, which closed at Chelsea Friday, was the most successful it ever held. The attendance was good from all parts of the county. Every speaker was present and on time. The addresses of Mr. Alfred Day, of Detroit, we the feature of the convention. Mrs. G. L. Fox, of Grand Rapids, was the attraction for primary workers and they were delighted with her helpful talks. Mr. E. C. Knapp's presentation of a normal lesson aroused much interest in teacher training. Rev. T. W. Grafton spoke earnestly on "The Children for Christ," telling why and how Sunday school workers should work for the salvation of the children. Prof. Tooze, of Saline, made everybody think hard by his paper on "Psychology in Intermediate Work."

The treasurer reported offerings from schools to the amount of about $140, nearly all of which goes to the support of the State Sunday School association. All but 14 of the schools in the county contributed. Plans were made for holding local conventions once or twice in every township during the year 1903 so that every school may have the help of the association.

It was decided to arrange a schedule of these in advance so that the county workers may know when and where they will be needed.

The following officers were elected: President, A. D. Crittenden, Saline; vice presidents, C. M. Fellows, Saline; Mrs. A. L. Holden, Grass Lakes, Prof. B. L. D'Ooge, Ypsilanti; secretary, H. D. Severance, Ann Arbor; treasurer, Mrs. Reid Darling, Ypsilanti; general secretary, E. E. Calkins, Ann Arbor.
