Sunday Column.

REMINGTON, INDIANA.

A Christian is not a refrigerator but a radiator. You may be as quick as you please in saying words of kindness and sympathy. It is only when the heart is full of bitterness that it is necessary to think hard before speaking. The writer attended the Princeton Township Sunday School Convention in White Co. last Sunday which was a grand good meeting. The subject—“ How to interest young men in S. S.” was very ably discussed it being led bv a young man. Other subjects of equal importance were handled by people who knew what they were talking about. White has two more schools than our Co. and they outnumber us in enrollment. We held two more Township Conventions than thev did last year.

On account of being unable to make satisfactory arrangements for speakers and for various other reasons it was decided to hold our Co. Convention on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 4th und sth instead of Nov. 23nd and 23rd as previously announced. We have secured by this arrangement Bro. Wm. H. Levering of LaFayette, who will give us a splendid address on “Normal Methods.” Bro. Levering needs no introduction to the people of this part of the country. There are few men in the state who have done more for the S. S. than he has. At the last State Convention he was elected President of the loth Dist for life as a special mark of esteem. He will algo deliver an address on “The S. S. and the Church.” Miss Christine Markert, our State Supt. of the Home Dept, will also be with us and deliver an address on Friday evening also a Normal Lesson using the blackboard, on Saturday.

Last but not least by any means is Bro. J. R, Thompson, Secty. of Newton Co. who is one of the must faithful S. S. workers in the whole Diet. will be with us and make a talk also. Dr. E. P. Henry, White Co's, field Supt. of Home Dept, has promised to attend. Altogether we feel that we have great reason for thinking this will bo one of the very best conventions ever held in this part of the state. Let every school elect at least five delegates next Sunday who will come. Delegate certificates will be sent to every school and we hope that every school in the Co. will be represented. Notice the program in this issue and see what a splendid list of topics for discussion. Come everybody.
