County Sunday School News.

Every township in the county is to have a convention on the same day, June 14th, and the same program will be used throughout the county. Every department superintendent in each township is on the program for a paper on the work of their department. If you hold one of these offices and have not been so informed by your township chairman, secure a program and “get busy.” The county superintendent of your department wifi, give you any needed help if you ask them. Newton township, which has had more difficulty than perhaps any other township in the county in maintaining a Sunday School, being the only township in the county that is sometimes without one altogether, has improved conditions by organizing a school at Curtis Creek school house, which bids fair to do as good work as any tn the county. In a township that has ibeen so favored by material prosperity, having prosperous farmers with comfortable homes, there should be every effort made to have the moral tone of the community keep pace with the material growthThey have their arrangements made for a fine time convention day, on June 14th. There will be Sunday School from 10 to 11; a children's day program from 11 to 12; a basket dinner from 12 to 1:30, and the township convention program from 1:30 to 4 p. m. Let every family in the township feel a personal Interest in the success of this convention and make Newton rank among the first of the townships in. attendance on that day. Union township is going about the work of planning their convention in the most approved way. The township chairman, George Hammerton, held a meeting of the sup erintendents and officers of the township Sunday and made arrangements for what will no doubt be the most successful convention that has yet been held in that hustling township. The convention will be held at Fair Oaks this year and as this township has more schools than any other township to the county and a -bigbasket dinner has been arranged for and the work well planned, it will not be surprising if this convention excels all others in attendance. Jordan township, of which Peter Nafziger is chairman, has two well organized schools doing good work and another was organized two weeks ago at the Mt. Hope church. The work of arranging for the convention has been completed. The following is the program: Sunday School 10 to 11; address 11 to 12 by Rev. S. P. Schultz, of Chicago, who is a worker in a rescue mission; a basket dinner will occupy the time from 12 to 1:30 and the convention program will be given in the afternoon. Let’s watch and see the record of attendance in Jordan on that day.
