S.S. CONVENTION IIROTl

FINE ADDRESSES LAST NIGHT

jAn audience which packed the auditorium and galleries of East Main Street Friends' church applauded the program for last evening's session of i&m convention of the Indiana -Sunday School association. "Dr. McKinney, of New Tork, one of the 'beet known religious and social workers in the country, roused hia hearers to enthusiasm with his exposition "of "God's Doys and Girls," in which he made a plea for a better understanding of the nature of children at different periods of development before maturity. "No" boy or girl is the same to all persdns," said Dr. McKinney. ,"You may say he is the best boy in Richmond and be mistaken. You may say be js the worst boy in Indianapolis nd he off the mark. You have got to know your .boy at first hand before you can know how to handle him. "No boy or girl remains the same ny length of time," continued the epeeker, going on to elucidate in a practical way the psychology of the i&Urf as tt progressed toward the stage f th adult. "Is child study a fad?" cried Dr. McKinney. "God forbid!" Although depreciating the "pink tea" variety, as be expressed it, as futile and ending in vagueness, Dr. McKinney . recorded hia emphatic apiwwal of this phase of modern social activity as an- avenue through which many difficult problems would be solved and were being solved. - :'The child is more important than the" horses of- Kentucky," said the speaker while he pointed out that the latter received more attention f refluently than the former. v On the other hand solicitude and affection, instead of working beneficially, mayJbe an actual detriment when demonstrated without discrimination. "Children have been loved out of the Sunday school," said Dr. McKinney. ln the adolescent period the boy or girl does not want a demonstration of affection. Charley, in that period, does not want to be kissed. He is not at the

kissing period. Wben you deplore this.

ajjd say you have 'lost your baby' rec member that in a few years he'll kiss you and kiss a good many other people you don't want him to kiss." "It .should be remembered that the perceptive faculties are dominant earlier the receptive are strongest later. At eleven the child is literal. At fifteen he 'is full of doubt." And not only the psychology of the child, therefore, must be studied, but that knowledge diplomatically applied to (the treatment of individual cases, pursued, Dr. McKinney. , "Two things I ask of you," said the speaker, i "First, that you study your beys and girls through the great channels of information now open to you. Books are being written. Bead them, buy them, borrow them but get them someway." - .."-"" "Second, that you .study your boys and girls at first hand. The books are good. The Information contained excellent. But you must know them individually, not in the aggregate. Bring them to God through Jesus Christ. Help the hoy and the girl to find himaelf and herself. The world is full of misfits. Help the, right person to get into the right place." Dr- McKinney'a address was punctuated with applause and other evidences of appreciation, the speaker giving many realistic illustrations of hie text, some humourous, others full of pathos. After an exhibition of piano virtuosity by Mr. Roper, who did what is Called in vaudeville, a brilliant "stunt" called "Chimes," in which he skillfully reproduced on this instrument the tonal quality of chiming bells, Mr. Woelfkin made an'-address on "The Crowning Grace."

.Mr. Woelfkin said in part:

Tbere are various aspects of

Grace. Initial grace Is realised when fc jBOUi comes to God as a personal Sf ,iowr. Sustaining" grace is experienced and the dark arid trying hours qf life. But the crowning grace is such an overflow of life's strength as to become a redemptive factor among cur fellow-men. "This grace was realized in the ministry of Moses. He lived in a reign of nWror But even in that period God hd a purpose and Moses met that purpose with a firm resolve. A divine

providence and a human purpose are elements in true success. "First, Moses had to prove himself worthy of the trust of becoming a Saviour of the people. This he did by his long suffering patience under misunderstanding misinterpretation and persecution. The climax was reached when he was willing to die in the room of the people, if tmly they might be glared. In this act, he anticipated the cross of Jesus and became one with Christ in his passion to save men. Then it was that Jehovah said to him: Tbou bast found -grace in my sight. "Second, Moses experienced some rcreonal blessings which made him the effective ambassador of God. He was privileged to counsel -with God in tbe exercise of prayer. He Jearned that religion is not conformity to -outer standards, but a genius that transforms life from wtthin. He also beheld the glory of God not some outer physical phenomenon, but an inner illumination that enabled him to understand and interpret the tangled skein of human history and experience "He saw the divine presence amid the dark, mysterious providences. As

CQsaaauenl -to all these Moses walked among men with an illuminated countenance that gave men an idea of God. "Into this grace all men are invited. And if -we ram pay the price, we -may -become iitrt men -who-ephit our -fellow men but who minister strength and .good cheer and save them .from lives of sin, shame and despair."

Dr. "Woelfkin, who for a number of j ears has been a member of -the -faculty f ths. Divinity school in Rochester, New York, and who has Just .recently accepted the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, of Tfew "York City, made two fine addresses yesterday. In the afternoon Air. Woelfkin dealt with 'Me freed from the tyranny of

m. Jie snowea xnat m is tneveat-

working of the inherent forces of selfishness and however varied in form, r.t heart it is one. That from this law of self-pleasing the soul can only be redeemed by the quickening of the Divine life that lies latent in the soul. And -when the will essumes the right attitude toward the Divine will, life overcomes the handicap of selfish weakness and, conquering that, develops a life after the type of Jesus Christ.

NOTES. One of the charming features ol the Wednesday sessions was the reception

and supper given in the Reid Memorial

Church last evening after half .past five o'clock by the state officers and board of directors to the county presidents and secretary-treasurers. The beautiful church was thrown

open tor the entertainment of the visitors -and an informal reception was in progress until six o'clock. Supper -was served at eleven tables iu the handsome dining room of the Church, the tables being effectively ornamented with clusters of daisies, the officers and the members of the board of directors "being placed at the head tfcble, and an informal program of toasts following.

Interesting exhibits of work done by the students in the Elementary and Eecondary Divisions sre on display in the Reid Memorial and First M. E. churches. In the latter, which is the headquarters -for the Secondary Division and where conferences of officials connect-

i-ed -with this department are held, are

to be seen some interesting specimens of book-making by the students, illustrating certain courses of ctudy taken ip and which are uniform throughout the state. "The aim of this department," it is stated, "is -to teach and train pupils ior definite service." The systematic plan upon which the various divisions of the Sunday school work of the state is organized was hwe apparent, the text books being shown -with the illustrations and commentary of the students and all the paraphernalia of procedure, including charters for those classes which wish to organize, with seals and other formal 4evises for official "perpetuation. Grace church, of this city, was the v nly Sunday school in the city having a display, being one of two from Wayne County. This department in

cludes the "Intermediates" 13 to 17 jeers, and the "Seniors" from -seventeen to twenty. In the Elementary Di vision which includes pupils from birth to twelve years, it was learned that there are ir,,425 elementary teachers in Indiana, with 150,173 boys and girls. In the Cradle Roll, included in ths Elementary, are 1784. To those who Uher no or (to not have knowledge of the scope of the v.ork being carried on by the Indiana Sunday School Association, a vis ft to these exhibits is Interesting and llra-nimating.
