I Big Union Rally Ends Conference The Jackson County Sunday School Convention held Its last day's session .In Ashland at the Chautauqua build- ing. The morning session began at 10 a. m. with music by the orchestra and singing by the audience of the good old hymns such as "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," "Sun shine in My Soul," "Since JesuB Came Into My Heart" and "We're Marching to Zion," followed by a re sponsive reading of the 23rd Psalm, led by Rev. Carnahan. A splendid prayer was offered, an intersesslon for help In county, state and national life, closing with the Lord's Prayer repeated In concert by all. After more rousing music the classes were divided for the usual class work. Miss Carlton of New Jersey taught the adult woman's class of 153 women, and she said: "I never taught such a large class before." But before the class work was finished the ladles were con vinced that she could have handled even a larger1 class had it been nec essary. She brought out the practi cal thought that we as American women were in bondage today in many ways, such as giving too much time to housework, preparing meals, dress, style and so on to the utter neglect of more Important things, until our neighbors and loved ones failed to see the consistency of our ' Christianity. She said the woman who habitually had a curtain lecture for her grocery man or other busi ness friend needed to get closer to her God. Mayor Lamkln handled at the teaching hour a fine class of young men, and the follows were heard to say, "Mr. Lamkln sure knows how to talk to boys." Dr. Balllie of rhoentx taught the Bible class of adult men, and he no doubt felt he had quite a fair audi ence, for they so far surpassed the usual size of men's Sunday school classes. The secretary reported 650 In at tendance at the Sunday school ses sion. After sinking by a mixed quar tette Rev. Gammons of Jacksonville W In prayer In a very earnest man ner. Rev. Melllnger of the Christian church was asked by the chairman to make a few remarks, after which "America" would be sung with the added verse as follows: "God save our splendid men, Bring them safe home again, God save our men. Keep them victorious, patient and chivalrous, They are so dear to us, God save our men." Mr. Melllnger In his patriotic ... ipeech said In substance: "We have given our boys to go to the front in this great war crisis. Now shall we not stand back of them with our money in order that the war may .not be prolonged?" He also told how the Liberty bonds might be pur chased by anyone with a salary, clos ing by saying he expected to practice as well as preach and purchase one of the Liberty bonds very soon. - Rev. Carstens of Medford preach) ed the convention sermon in his usual eloquent manner, taking for his text Matt. 18:6 and Gal. 5:7. "Nipped in the Bud" was the subject of the sermon. Mr. Carstens brought to mind how an unseasonable frost In early spring would nip the prospect for fruit in the bud, and how men would stay up all night watching their smudge pots in order to save their crop of fruit, and yet at the same time would neglect the "buds of promise" God had given them in their homes and allow indifference or criticism to freeze out of the hearts of their children the good im pulses or resolves that had started to grow in the child's life perhaps as a result of a Sunday school teacher's faithful effort. He also spoke of churches where strangers were not made welcome by the membership and the sad results of this freezing out method. Lastly Mr. Carstens told of how the spirituality of young Christians was often "nipped In the bud" these days by worldllness steal ing into their lives and crpwdlng out the best things.. Special emphasis was brought, to bear on the parents and teachers of young people that their lives might be a suitable exam ple Instead of a stumbling block to those looking to them for help in Christian living. The afternoon sessions opened with singing and prayer. Mayor Lamkin spoke on "Patriotism as a Christian and Moral Duty." Mr. Lamkln read a letter from Lieuten ant Spencer of Fort Stevens, stating that the soldiers had bought 137,000 worth of Liberty bonds. Senator Gore of Medford at this time spoke on the Liberty bonds, saying this was an opportunity on our part to purchase the Liberty bonds and not a sacrifice, for the supreme sacrifice had been given long ago by the Saviour of men. Professor Briscoe of the Ashland schools then spoke on the topic, "My Nation is Today Holding Out Her Hands for Help. .Who Will Re spond?" Professor Briscoe's talk was very fine and was enjoyed by the audience. Mrs. Dananhower of Portland gave a chalk talk on "What Becomes of Our Nickels?" as applied to the local and national Sunday school work. Mayor Gates of Medford on "Sun day School Work" said that teachers and superintendents should be select ed who could and would plan to hold the young people in the Sunday school. , Miss Carlton of New Jersey spoke r wvrcn word Li L Highest Quality Best Facilities TVTUCH OF the great success of tkw store u Jua to 77, constnt fort tut forth to attend your need quickly to male deliveries promptly.
