Ncccfcsarily so, 1st; from a sense of iay i nubility to do otherwise than open up tho sqtbjeci for your discussion, nnd 2d; frnni a want of time to prepare an ' eay. I frluill probably dwell tnore fully on the PurpofO of the Association," If.wo comprehend arigiit the place, purpose and work of the Sunday school, we will the better comprehend the purpose and work of the County association; and indeed it U essential that we should have right, views of the former in order to comprehend aright the latter. Hence, us a means to the end desired, I would lay down as comprehending the place, purpose and work of tho Sunday school, j the following statements, quoting from standard authorities; 1st. The Sunday school is a place and has a dace for every one. 2d. The Funday school is for the more thorough study of the word of God by both old and young, that nil may thereby grow in grace. rd. In the providence of God the Sunday school has become one of the most effective instrumentalities in evangelizing the world. Doubtless Sunday nehool ' workers" will agree in the main to the truth of these statements, but our observation and experience show that the large majority of professed chiisti tns of almost every community do not realize the Sunday school to be of the Importance here shown. The proof of this lack of comprehension shown beyond dispute in theono fact that in any given community from one-half to nine-tenths of the adult 'christians' are habitual non-attendants of the Sunday school. This leads us to the thought that, primarily, the pun pose of the County Sunday School Institute, or Association, is to awaken a deeper interest in the great object of the Sunday school on the part of Pastors, Superintendents, teachers and parents, and I may add the children also. gaiu, the time was, ami until recently, when the American Sunday School Union and different Evangelical bodies sent throughout our counties their Sunday school missionaries, whose work wai not only to establish schools in destitute localities but to encourage - and build them up by the influence o! stated visits and otherwise, until they became strong and soil supporting. The American Sunday School Union especially accomplished a great work in numberless localities by establishing "Union" schools, where Sectarian had, or would have been a failure. But now these agencies are largely, if not entirely withdrawn, the reason thereof, that they tire no longer needed especially is this Iruo if the purpose and work of the County Association is rightly untkr.ttxd and pfrfrm'i, for it i one t f t.

To elevate the standard of teaching without argument., I presumeit will be conceded by all that one of the greatest, if not the greatest, wants of the Sunday schools of our day is the want of skilled teachorsjnot so much . are we in need of pious teachers as those who are "apt to teach." It is not necessary in an essay of this character to compare the progress in the art of teaching, ot Sunday school teachers as a class, with, that of the teachers In our secular schools; but if we accept as the main object of Sunday school teaching, "the formation of religious character to restore to the soul the lost image of God," we must concede that not only tlo large numbers of our teachers fail in attaining this object, but also fail to realize the object or aim of their teaching. Many again realize fully th object in view, but fail of accomplishment. Again we find in almost cvcrytschool at least otie whose teaching yields the desired results. .Now I believe that there are but very few of the many unsuccessful christian teachers who do not earnestly desire their teachings to be blessed with . theso re. suits nay perhaps earnestly pray therefor but they continue to look in vain for the large results thfy may pray for and work for ' and which they do behold oflimes following the labors of a fellow teach-; et. Tho main reason of .so much unsuccessful te iching by christian teachers is that they are not "apt to teach" deficient in a knowledge of the fclenco of teaching. Perhaps a majority I . was going, to say a large majority of teachers of this latter class would become skillful, approved workmen by a course of training for their office. Pitt in the nature of things this is not practi cable. 1 lo wever, m uch may be accom plished by placingthe unskillful workman, whether mechanic, lawyer, physician or Sunday school teach or, and especially the latter, under the instruction of the master workman, though the po.dods may be short and at long intervals. .Hence it is one of the purposes of' tho Association to bring together the teachers in our schools that the wise and efiici.nt may aid, instruct and encourage ' their less successful, though not less solicitous,' fellow laborers." : :! - 5th.

II. train at Mitchell at 12:20 p. m. and arrived in St. Louis at 8:50 p. m., our train being a little late.' We failed to catch the outward bound train, so there was nothing for me to do but 'to content myself as best I could until 8:30 p. m. next day, when another passenger train would run in the direction that I wanted to travel. I put up at tho Planter? Hotel. This Is a very large and magnificent structure and has a capacity of comfortably aceommo, dating at least 300 guests. ' When I arrived in St. Louis it was dark, which prevented me from' seeing the great iron and steel bridge which spans the Mississippi river here. The next morning, determined to make the most out of my involuntary detention, I thought T would pay my respects to tile gigantic : piece' of mechanism of which we have read so much" I thought before looking at it that I had a tolerable fair idea of its size and ttppearance, but after seeing it I must acknowledge that my conceptions, formed front reading the newspapers, were rather weak. It is undoubtedly one of the grandest structures that it was ever my lot to look upon. As I gazed upon this monster bridge, with its arms stretching out on either side oyer' the "Father of Waters," I felt proud to think of it as a living monument of the greatness of my country and the ingenuity nnd enterprL;i of tiiy countrymen. " At the appointed time I boarded the through train on the St. Louis and San Fianclsco II. It. (late the A. & P. 11, 11.) and as il was about' my bed time I took a berth in a Puiman sleeping eat and was sound asleep in a very short time and did not awake until, day light next morning. I was surprised to iearn that I had' traveled 1S3 miles in my sleep. We took breakfast at Lebanon, Mo., a very pleasant town of about 1,500 inhabitants. The land immediately around : Lebanon is pretty fair farming land, but as we traveled on west, in a short- time the face of the country began to assume the most woo begone appear, auce of any country 'I have ever seen. The soil seemed to - be so poor that vegetation could not get a hold, except mm scrubby jack oak' and sumac bushes, and even thCiO shrubs were of a very sickly growth.

Anv one r?ot nested wuP3 suppose tho Indians unfriendly and insolent, but those'are some of the features of -civilization; that they have not learned yet. I was in Vinita 13 hours and was treated very courteously by the' 'Mayor. He was a full blooded b Cherokee Indian, but nevertheless was a perfect 'gentleman. lie presented trie with a copy of the laws' of the C-hero&eo nation in Cherokee and also one in English. I kUo'niet one or two Indian lawyers and attended a "Temple of Justice" while in Vinita. There are nei white men allowed to settle in the Indian Territory unless they will marry tin Indian woman, except railroad officials, who are all white men. There are two things I observed in the Indian character which is entirely different from the Hoasier character, viz: They will not come in 50 yards of the cars "unless they have special business, and I never saw an Indian with his hands in his pockets while passing through their territory. We left Vinita at 5 o'clock a. m. on the M. K. & T. II. B- in a train consisting of 2 baggage cars, 5 coaches and 2 Pulman sleepers: Tfhe cars' were all fuTlj mostly " emigrants seeking homes in tlia far west.' When we arrived at Muskogee, about Go miles southwest of Vinita, we saw a vast crowd of Indians' me'rip women and children. We learned that a big Indian fair was going on at that' place, "and I cSuld not help but think that if old Orange cotinty fair would receive one-fourth the patronage of our people, that tho Indians gave to theirs,' you would have a good ' fair. While running through the' Territory I could not help" but notice the beautiful wild flowers that grow no abundantly on the prairie and think what a delightful place $t would be for the women and girl3 of Orange county to go perfectly Wild in their great love of flowers. They are so thick upon the prairie that one could not walk without, stepping upon them. Beautiful beyond description. Also saw several wild deer, and a great number of Wild turkey, "prairie ''chickens, quails, $. t suppose that we have plenty of old settlers in this county that could tell of tins excitement of the deer chase in "the 'early'' history of old Orange At last we, came to Pod river' near Denison. Ilere we left the beautiful Indian Territory and entered ' tho ' great and fertile State of Texas. ' Red river is very appropi lately named, its waters are almost as red r-3 blood. We reached Dpnison, Texas, on the 27th day of Sept. 4:10 p. m. Here we changed cars from the M. K. & T. to the. Houston & Texas Central road. At least 300 passengers changed cars here,, mostly c-nl grants seeding homes en the Iroul and L .lutifuJ pr.;:rie5 of Texcs.

A rchey fot trier ly resided in Mitchell, Ind. On morning of Sept. 20i.h, . I took eastern Hound train on Texas & Pacific R. .Pb. and went to Terrell, Tejcas, 31 miles east of Dallas. Was met at the depot in Terrell by my tall brother, Col. Geo. W. Carter, who by the way is 7 feet tall. Terrell is a splendid town of about 3,000 inhabitants and is surrounded by the.best farming country I ever saw anywhere. High rolling prairies, ri,eh,, black soil from 6 .to 20 feet deep, plenty of good Water to be had anywhere by borcingdown from 2G to. 40 feet, in some cases the water forces itself tip and, runs .out at the top of t lie well. Terrell is a young town, only 4 years old. It now ctmtains 4 large brick blocks, 23 stores, several .good wooden blocks, 2 .churches with 2 ethers in course of erection, 2 planing mills, i flouring mill, with another one building, houses springing up as if. by magic all over town. Therein' certainly more business going on in tho town of Terrell, than I ever saw in any other town of double its size in my. life,, I think that in the, near future Terrell is destined to rank dinong the best towns tii'f'he .State' of Texas. 1 enjoyed', uiyseif ever so much while in TerreilV,' 1 divided triy time'Jbetween I)allas and Terrell, having a brother jiving in each place. While in Terrell I visited the temple of justice, presided over by JudeSelf. Witnessed the dispensing of sound Texas justice in all v its purity, and grand u re. Judge Self presides with dignity and gives his rulings and decisions with great dispatch. Judge Self, by .the, .way, is. my .nephew, he having married the oldest daughter of my brother, Col. G. W. Carter.-., As a dispenser of justice I think VFUs Honor" a .success. Long may he' wave. While In Dal?as I formed the acquaintance cf a' Mr. J, W Allen, a perfect gentleman.
