crease the class spirit. In anion
there is stiengtb. Ibe weakness of
one is supplemented by the strength
of suuthnr. It becomes a foroe of
woili, not merely a field for w irk.
Ibe ntga'.ized class does things for
its fie'ubers, fur the (Sunday school
aud tl.j church. The organized class
of nun and the organized class of wo
men fc a the magnets that will attract
to the Sunday school service tbe boys
and girls, ibe organized class is a
dam across the Sunday sohool stream
that holds tbe boys and girls to tbe
Siindny school at a time when they
are fo easily lost from Its membei
bhip. Ibe Bible class has given to
man young men and women tbeir
Uret impulse to lead cnimlan lives
and to do personal work. One of tbe
first tequialtea is a, place for thum,
they get them and after tbe members
get them, give them something. The
failure aud ludltterence conneoted
with some pupils' attendance can
sometimes be overcome by adopting
the Smith plan, viz: Appointing seven
memlmrs ot tne class to go after tbe
absent one. One to be appointed tor
each day, aud have each member Im
press upon tbeir friend the advant
ages aud benefits of tbeir class. The
pupil will nearly always respond. "The
neoo slul orgauized class In Elgin,
Hi., taught by Uavid J. Cook, was
oited as an example ot the program
ORiried out.
A d cusaion then followed, In which
Rev. W. A. Wood, ot the Christian
church, gave a few able remarks.
Mr. Polling, of Ibe Dalles, made
few good points and Mrs. Sigby spoke
brlelly on tbe "Art of J caching.''
Dr. Parker, ot Hood River, was tbe
last onn to discuss tbe topic and his
remarks showed a careful study of -j ;-
the subject.
Tbe list of the delegates was lead .
and also the names of tbe homes where
they were to be entertained. After
plowing song, hev. Nutley, ot Hood
liiver, pronounced the benedlotion.
The evening session was opened at'
7:30 with a splendid song servioe con
ducted by Prof. Grouse Messrs.
Parker, Haoua and Poling each gave
a short prayer, followed by another
soug, aud Seoietary Ollhouse then
read tbe roll call of tbe Sunday
schools in the county, wbioh make a
total ot 33, with a membership ot 2,
840. i'be committee ou nomination tor
tbe election ot officers for tbe ensuing
year was then appointed, as follows:
Butleigh Cash, of Hood River; Mrs.
Weber, of Tbe Dalles; Mr. Hill, of
Dufur.
At 8:30 Rev. C. A. Pbippa deliver
ed oao ot the 11 nest addresses ever
hoard in Hood River on "The Call,
the Work, tbe Wages." He said in
uit that in serving Uod you were
sorviui humanity and in serving hu
man ity you ate serving Uod. Tbe
teachers lire tbe Weet Pointers of the
AOil'l. These (hilditn that we are
teaching now iu 25 years will have
morrt mom y to bundle than we ever
dreamed of. The future ehuroh will
not bnve to uo begging. The Sunday
school is eelliiib iu not living up to its
oppottuuities. Ihe wise teacher
knows the pupil and that to be a
teacher is not all play but work, eight
ilars iu the week, as one wise man has
said. Tbe universal plan that many
teuchers have adopted of not pieparing
their lessons thoroughly at borne la
a poor one. Ibe bent teaobnr begins
the study of bis lesson on bis kneea
Momlay morning aud then earnestly
pursues it every day ot tbe week until
Sunday when he can go before hia
olaes without bis helps. One ot tbe
prominent speakers in last week's
convention Bald that tbe skillet waa
ii n excellent tbiug to prepare a din
ner with, but tbe best housewife did
not servo tbe dinner on tbe skillet, and
tbe helps are an excellent tbiug to
prepare the lesson wun, nut a very
poor thing to serve with the lesson.
