Now the County Convention for all S.S. workers of all denominations is over. Can we not truthfully say we, as well as our Sunday Schools, are greatly benefitted thereby? It was an extra treat to hear Mr. D.W. Sims, Superintendent North Carolina Sunday School Association, in his good jolly way of bringing out the many helpful points which goes to lift a Standard Sunday School. We should strive to have our teachers take the Teachers’ Training Course at Lake Junaluska, and other points and also strive for Sunday School rooms—not curtains, for they only stop the sight but not the noise.
The Bethlehem Methodist Sunday School of Mill Spring won the pennant which was awarded to the S.S. which had the largest number of representatives at the convention. This S.S. has been using the Standard Graded lessons for two years, has a large year around attendance. Most of the teachers and officers are college and high school graduates. Only need a little more training from higher source and Sunday School rooms to make it a sure enough standard Sunday School.
The annual all-day singing will be at Bethlehem next Sunday. All choirs of the various denominations are cordially invited to take part in both the singing and dinner.
Mr. Ruphus Waldrop of Fair Forest, S.C., returned this morning after a happy week’s sojourn with his daughter and family, Mrs. W.C. Hague.
Mr. and Mrs. Suttle of Union, S.C., were also pleasant callers of the Hague family.
We are sorry to hear of the death of Uncle Guy Mills, known throughout the county as “Uncle Guy” (colored). We know he will be greatly missed at his church and vicinity as he was a good, old time, religious darkey.
