JASPER COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES.

The work of organizing the townships is progressing, Jordan township being the most recent one with John Bill as township chairman, and Mrs. Wm. Bringle Sec. In some townships we find persons who have very vague ideas as to what the organized work is. For the benefit of such we would say that is a plan by which the state Sunday school workers who give their entire attention to studying new and better plans of Sunday school work, may impart this help to the Sunday schools all over the state, no matter how far from towns they may be. When a township 4s organized it has an officer, the township chairman, whose duty it is to organize Sunday schools in any part of his township where he thinks a school could be kept up. In every township in the county there are localities where there are many children who have no opportunities for Christian training whatsoever; it is the work of the state, county and township officers, to organize Sunday schools in these places. This is a huge task in a county like our own where it is difficult to reach all parts without great inconvenience. And as the county and township officers serve without pay and give much time to the work, they should have the help of all good people. The state officers, however, who give all their time to the work, must of course be paid. To meet this expense each county is expected to give a part; our county subscribed $25 at the last county convention and this will be due June 1 of this year. If each superintendent in the county will take up a collection in his school and forward it as soon as 'possible to the County Sec., Mrs. John Randle, Pleasant Grove, it will save much work on the part of the county officers.
