Fruit Jars-Canned Goods w forty-third annnal content io*r of the McHenry County Sunday School as- sotiiatiou was brought to a close Wad- neaday afternoon, after a very interest- tug and Inspiring two days' session. The meetings of the convention WW6 largely attended by Sunday school workers and friends from all parts of the county and the ntteudsucs WAS ys*y gratifying to the officers who have .had the convention in charge. The convention was opened Tuesday morning by a song and praise service led by Assistant Superintendent E. F. Booth of Woodstock. Following this waa the address of welcome by the pre­ siding officer, Superintendent W. F. Rice of McHenry, in which he gave the twq great needs of the Snnday school of today--(1) definite, worthy purpose; (2) consecrated workers. The conference, "Our New Inter­ national Graded Lessons," waa led by George W.Miller, state worker of Paris, III. The afternoon meeting teks spent in a dismission of the manual side of Sunday school work. Miss Cora Fillmore of Woodstock very completely illustrated this phase of the Snnday school with hand work made by her clam. An illns trated story was given the children by Mrs. L E. Mac key of Marengo,- Mid an illnstrated temperance talk by Airs Anthony of Riley. The Tuesday evening session was opened by &song and prayer service led by P. B. Anderson. The address of the evening was, "The Modern Snnday School at Work," by G. W. Miller. Mr. Miller gave three reasons for onr yonng people, especially the boys dropping ont of onr schools--(1) nothing doing, (3) same old story, (3) the failure on the part of parents to insist on the children attending. His plea was for more variety in the weekly program, more music, and that nothing be done by superintendent and teachers which can be done by pupil. Mr. Miller, besides being a state worker, is superintendent of a Sunday school at Paris, 111., and also of a large men's Bible class. WEDNESDAY SESSION. The Wednesday morning session was opened by Rev. S. G. Hay, after which was given the connty report of the sec­ retary, Mrs. Nettie Harrison. This re­ port showed several schools abandoned and also new ones organized dnring the past year. Out of the fifteen townships which have schools, fourteen had sent in all reports and eleven have given their assessment for county and state work. In commenting on the loss of schools in district communities, Mr. Miller stated that he found in all counties of our state schools in similar localities closed for the want of a leader, the former one having moved into town. Here, he mid, is our problem of the city and therefore the important werk for the coming year should be the re­ organising of these schools. Rev. W. A. Cross of Chemung sub- mitted his report as superintendent of temperance work. < Rev. Cross certainly believes in doing something when ap­ pointed to an office. Very interesting reports of osr atate convention held at Peoria were given by Mrs. Greenley and Mrs. Miller. One of the most impressive features of this state convention was the men's parade, nnmbering 1400, all members of men's Bible classes in the Sunday schools. Rev. Stephenson of Hebron very ably discussed the "Localization of the Ma­ terial and Methods of Sunday Schools." Following this was a conference led by Mr. Miller, "The What and How of Snnday School Grading." We must grade our schools because we are deal­ ing with graded life, we must consider the different periods •.He physical, mental and spiritual development of the child. Three factors which determine the grading are the age, the school grade and association of the child. Great care must be takan hi fibs salsctlon of teachers. The song and prayer service for the closing session was led by Rev. Robeson of Alden, assisted by Walter Morris of Woodstock. Rev. W. A. Cross spoke concerning the Snnday schools as a force for civic betterment in the com­ munity, after which Principal Emery Kimball of Ridgefield read a paper en­ titled, "The Equipment of a Modern Snnday School.*' The convention was very fittingly closed by a few remarks by Mr. Miller, It was votad to meat again next June at Marengo. The spscial music rendered during each session was a pleasing feature of the program. OFFICERS ELECTET). The newly elected officers are: President--Prof. W. < F. Rice, Mo> Henry. Vice Preeldent--O.

Scientists have found in a cave in Switzerland bones of men, who lived 100, 000 years ago, when life was in con­ stant danger from wild beastB. Today the danger, as shown by A. W. Brown of Alexander, Me., is largely from dead­ ly disease. "If it had not been fbr Dr. King's New Discovery, which cured me, I could not have lived," he writes, "suf­ fering as I did from a severe lung trouble and stnbborn cough."
