Rensselaer Republican, Volume 22, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 November 1889 — The Sunday School Convention. [ARTICLE]

The Sunday School Convention.

Tlie Jasper County Sunday School Convention opened Tuesday evening, in the Presbyterian church. The exercises at that session consisted mainly of songs,- short talks and an interesting address by Rev. J. E. Gilbert, D. D., of Indianapolis, Superintendent of the Indiana Sunday School "Union. There was a very large audience present. The forenoon session of- yesterday Was also well attended. Dr.- Gilbert occupied the greater portion of the time, ni a very prolitable manner, with practical suggestions of ways and means of conducting Sunday Schools and keeping up the interest and attendance. The time at which we goto press does not admit of any mention of the afternoon and evening sessions of yesterday. The representation from the out townships at the convention is far from satisfactory, in point of numbers, but probably about all that could have been expected, considering the disagreeable weather and bad roads. The. townships from which representatives are present, are Wheatfield, Kankakee, Barkley, Newton, Marion, Jordon and Hanging Grove.
