irhe Lexington Dispatch. < Wednesday, August 28,1907. JCeeting of Joint Sunday School Convention. The Sunday School Convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Conference met with St. Peter's congre- | gation, near Chapin, S. C., August 9-11. There were in attendance only ten of the twenty-three ministers in the Conference, fourteen of the fiftyfive superintendants, and thirty-eight delegates. Despite this rather small attendance, this was one of the most interesting and profitable meetings of the convention that we have ever had. t The topics were able and interestingly discussed, and the model lesson ' taught by Prof. Bowers, of Newberry College, was most highly enjoyed. The sermons by Revs. E. L. Lybrand, - " -*wi r> rv 5 13 T? Woo. tit JtL? WUSOjQy XJm Jctiiu. a/ ,. ?i vo~ I singer were of the highest order of excellence. We give below a digest of the discussions: , On the first topic, "Is the organiza- j tion of a Baraca class advisable?" j Ail account of the Hebrew word in Chron. 20:26 from which Baraca is derived;\v as given. Objects and purposes were explained. First class was organized by Marshall A. Hudson, of Syracuse, N. Y., in the year 1890. It is not the purpose of the organization to separate and part from the Sunday school, but to be a part thereof. If any desire to do extra work let us not discourage them. The Baraca class enters into any work of the church or world at will, it is independent. Not good for Lutheran church to encourage any organization that'does not subscribe its members to some particular faith or \^>rk. All church work shpuld be in the name of God. The classes in our Sunday schools are enough, do not need any other divisions. When we seek rest for our souls in something new, something aside from the church, we will be disappointed. Our church is not ready to condemn or accept the Baraca class at present. On the second topic, "How can * rvF KanoirAlfinM hp sfjmn ' U1C O^XllU VI k/vuvrvAuuvc , lated in the Sunday school?'' The spirit of benevolence is the life or death of the church. It must be systematic. Men must b^ interested in the work of the church, which is accomplished by the preaching of the Gospel. The man that lives for others is widened and broadened for greater usefulness. Benevolence is stimulated by exercising it. On the third topic, "The Sunday school, the Church's Training School for Practical Service." It is a fact that every active church worker had his or training in the Sunday school. The man or woman who refuses to help in church work doubtlessly was not an active Sunday school scholar; therefore we must have goad, well QTganized Sunday schools and all thechildren should be brought into the Sunday school. The Lutheran idea is the church at school. All the Sunday school service mu9t be of a churchly nature, by | which the children are grounded in ] the worship of the churcb. The Sunday school does not belong to the | officers and teachers alone, but to every member of the church, and evety member should feel that he is a W -.Iv - A p^Tt'of it; All' tne causes or wie chtrrch should b<5 brought before the Sunday school, then the members will j _ fee-more ready to take hold ~t)f the -work of the church. " On the fourth topic, "The Oatechispi." No book outside of the bible has been translated into so many languages. It. is a string of bible peatls. No book confcains ao many truths in so small a space.- Luther intended that this catechism should j - be taught in the home. In. Jhis we have fallen far short of the mark. It ' is advisable that there be a class in onr Sunday schools whose tegp book * should be the catechism. We'us pas-! tors and parents should awake to a 1 sense of onr duty in this matter. ! Enough of the devil's tares are being, Vsown in spite of all our efforts to *keep them out. Our people should be instructed in the doctrines of the church, as taught in the catechism, before they are admitted into full communion with the church. On the fifth topic, "Science of Teaching."" The science of teaching is knowing something and being able to impart it to others. Teachers should understand the lesson they are to teach before they attempt to teach. Get on a level with your pupils. Lessons for children should be so plain that they can understand them. Examples of Christ's teaching while upon earth were given, v Only thirty-four out of the fifty-five schools sent reports. This makes our I statistics very unsatisfactory. A! comparison with last year shows that our people are developing along the lines of benevolence. The Convention resolved to establish another $100.00 scholarship in our Seminary. This action was taken with a hearty expression of interest. The Convention was royally entertained by the good people of St. Peter's. Ji. J. oox, Dec. Endorsed by the County. "The most populor remedy in Otsego county, and the best friend of my family," writes Wm. M. Dietz, editor and publisher of the Otsego Journal, ' Gilbertsville, N. Y., "is Dr. King's New Discovery.

The Edisto river, famed the country over for its fine fish, which have at- : tracted anglers from all directions, 1 has long been a prey to the merciless 1 work of the fish dynamiters to such an extent that there was danger of the extermination of the finny tribe, but Mr. Rice has taken the matter in hand and is determined to stamp out all lawlessness of this kind and save the Edisto from such a fat?. tn this work he has the hearty support of all except the few who. are guilty of these unlawful acts.

"That is because the horses there are allowed to drink while they eat, the same as mankind. "Our horses, let them be a9 thirsty as getout, must still eat their dry fodder, their dry hay and oats and corn, with nothing to wash them down. But in Norway every horse has a bucket of water beside his manger, and, as he eats, he drinks, also. "It is interesting to see how the Norwegian horses relish their water with their meals. Now they sip a lit-4, tie from the bucket, now they eat a i mouthful, then another sip, then another mouthful, just like rational human beings. "You never see a broken-winded horse in Norway, and the natives say it is because they serve water to the animals with their feed". Must Send the Money.
