SUNDAY SCHOOLS TO HELP IN RELIEF WORK

The executive committee of the Jasper County Sunday School association, together with the program committee, met at the First National Bank on Tuesday evening to plan for the program of the coming county' Sunday school convention. The president of the county organization, Mr. George H. Hammerton, was unable to be present. Those in attendance were Vice Presidents Jas. N. Leatherman and W. L. Bott, Secretary-Treasurer Mrs. Sidney J. Ash, Rev. D. €. HaR and Dr. W. L. Myer. They are planning for a program designed to help every Sunday school member in Jasper county. Aho Jasper county plans to be counted upon in the principal Sunday school activity of North America for this year—the relief of suffering Armenians, Syrians and Greeks in Bible lands where little cMidren are hungry and homeless and helpless as a result of the Turkish atrocities incident to the war. Our plan last year for a Sunday school Christmas without a treat made it possible for our united schools to give for their comfort one million dollars. This year more schools will be enlisted and we expect to have two million dollars for this worthy purpose.
