Mrs. J. F. Beishee’s talk at De-
Moss, at the Sunday school rally
meeting, on pioneer Sunday school
work brought to me many memories
of our early days in Sherman county.
The day we met to organize our Sun- j
day school there were tw^> men there
who had been Sunday school workers. ।
They declined to act as superintend­
ent of our school. Grandfather Bel-'

firm and level and yet elastic enough
to be springy, and it should be made
of proper material to retain its elas­

requirements are important it may
be seen that the one most in need of
attention is that dealing with sani­
tation.
