Bdueatlon, Mlaa Nellie Stoutenburg ' Reporta from the Snnday schools oyer the county showed them to be in fairly good eondltlon, even though the eottvention was not as well at- tondad as should have neen.
Tbe program was an nnusnally good one, thera being three sessions and Miss Weaver of Chicago, SUte Superintendent ot Children's DlvU- ton, gave an address at each session.
'Those who heard Ber were profuse In their compliments as to her ability In that especial line ot Chris¬ tian work.and those who did not «vall themselves ot thto opportunity to hear Miss Weaver, lost much.
Rev. J. B. Johnson ot Flora gave a Tery intereatlng address at the morn¬ ing session and Rev. J. O. Harmon gave a great Inaptratmnal talk on Christian Education at the afternoon vession, when Mn. Edw. HcConnell was conducting the Adult Diiilslon conference. This was one of tbe pleasant surprises that Mn. McCon¬ nell gave the audience. Another was the solo by Mra. B. O. Craig, with Mtss Dorothy Helen Ikemira aa ac- companiest. This solo was well rendered and very refreshing at thU Dart ot the program.
