BY B. D. COMER,

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. To Township Officers Greeting: We are now nearing the end of the First Qr. ’9B and soon the Second will be upon us. We are proud of what was accomplished last year, but we want to see greatei things done this year. The question is how can we do it? Simply by going to work ourselves and getting others to work. The next question is, What’s to be dene? We will tell you—viz: First: See that every school in your Tp., is organized and in working order. Don’t fail on this point! Second: Get your Home Class Supt., to work if he or she won’t. Appoint some one who will talk it up and make it go! Third: If your Tp., was not canvassed last year, see to it as quickly as possible, and have it canvassed without fail. Fourth: Those Tps. which have not already held their spring conventions will be expected to hold one between now and the Ist. of June. So that it can be reported to State Convention. Fifth: See that the blank reports sent you, are properly filled out and sent to Co. Sec’y., W. C. Smalley, Remington Ind. I Sixth: Whenever possible organize new schools. Dear Co. workers —We desiro to thank you for your hearty cooperation during the past .year. God has spared, cared for, and protected us thus far; let us trust "Him more and serve Him better No other field offers us greater opportunities than does the Sunday school. Let us do our best to gather in the sheaves for the Master —for He says “Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” Let us live close to God every day, that our daily walk and conversation maybe such as will meet with His divine approval and will show to the world that we have learned of Him. C. W. Farris, W. C. Smalley, Co Pres. Co. Sec’y.
