Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 May 1884 — The Sunday School Convention. [ARTICLE]

The Sunday School Convention.

The Jasper county Sunday school convention, jvhich met in the Baptist church, on Tuesday evening, and concluded its labors last evening, was a gratifying success. It wa9 largely attended by the people of the town, while Remington and the country schools were well represented. The programme of the convention was published two weeks ago in The Republican, and has been pretty closely carried out. A glance' at tho programme of exercises- arranged for tlie “Camp Fire” entertainment to be given at the Opera House to-morrow evening, will show that it cannot fail to be a very successful affair of the kind and well deserving of patronage sijnply upon its merits as a literary entertainment; but it has still higher claims upon the favor of this community. Its purposes fire wholly unselfish and patriotic. The proceeds are to be devoted to the fund, for erecting a monument m commamoration of the heroism of the soldiers of Indiana. Not alone for those who fell in the wav, as is stated in the bills, but for the tens of thousands of others, equally brave and less unfortunate, who survived the perils of war, and lived to enjoy the fruits of their victories.
