BEAVERDAM B ? S. S. Session at Coneross Wai Method by Which C Eafly Christ k - Thc Sunday School Convention of Beaverdani Baptist Association hold its annual meeting at Coneross church Saturday and Sunday, March 28 and 29. The delegates assembled Saturday at 10.30 a. m., and, after devotional exercises conducted by Rev. L. D. - Mitchell, held a short business nieet f ing. T. M. ESlrod, who luis served the convention so efficiently as president, was re-elected to that ofllce, and Rev. L. D. Mitchell was elected secretary. The president appointed the fol lowing gentlemen to serve as execu tive committee for the ensuing year: Rev. L. I). Mitchell, chairman; Rev. ? H. M. Fallaw, D. L. Bramlett, John B. Harris and John Durham. This \cjmmittee was instructed to ascer tain the number of churches in this association which have no Sunday school, and where they needed to or ganize same. Tho convention then listened to discussions on the sub jects assigned for the day. Rev. L. M. Lyda was the first speaker on the ' subject, "The Importance of a live Sunday school in each church." Ile spoke mostly from an historical standpoint and showed by the effect of thc Sunday school on the lives of many great tuen of the recent past that each church should lay more stress on this important and far reaching work. J. C. Shockley, thc man who ls al ways ready, then took up the same subject and proved by his own life and experience in the work that it should receive even greater attention than is being given it to-day. This subject was then opened for general discussion. J. R. Plylor and Rev. yv*. II. Nicholson made splendid talks, showing that for the strength ening of church and community life nothing '-an equal a live Sunday school. The convention then adjourned for dinner, which was served in picnic style on the church yard. Sat imlay Afternoon. After an hour of feasting, recrea tion and social fellowship the con vention again opened with song and prayer. Some of the speakers for the after noon session were absent, but others volunteered to take their places. The first query. "Why should parents be especially interested in Sunday school work?" was discussed by Mr. Plylor and Mr. Vaughn. Bach speaker being a parent and Sunday school worker, they seemed to feel the solemn duty of older people encouraging and en listing themselves and all their chil dren in the most noble and beautiful woilc of Ibis ape- -the Sunday school. The last speech of the day was by Rev. ll. M. Fallaw, his subject being "The Sunday school and evangelism." .Mr. Fallaw's well trained mind and broad experience have fitted him to deliver just, such messages as he brought the convention Saturday. The prevailing thought of his speech was the importance of Sunday school leachers living such lives and having such tact, such personality, such ideals as will readily lead the child to the acceptance of Christ. He also mad<; an urgent appeal for more ade quate and convenient bouses in which io bold Sunday school. We believe this speech should ring in the ears of bis bearers until each one puts i ii tc action the great thoughts presented by this earnest man of Cod. After tho speaking the announce ments for Sunday were made, and thc delegates having been assigned homes for the night, tho convention adjourned to meet Sunday morning at I 0 o'clock. Sunday Morning.

A paper--' The best methods bj which children can be given an earl: Christian t raining"- was read b; Miss Rena Hunsinger, and the con vention, recognizing the value o thia most excellent article, requestet tho secretary to send it to the count: paliers for publication. We earnest!; hope that all people who love dill dren will read this well written am thoughtful article. Rev. H. C. Smith followed Mis Hunsinger with a logical and force ful address on "The highest aims o the Sunday school teacher." II clearly showed how the Sunda; schooi teacher might learn valnabl lessons from the business and pro fessional man as to aims, method and results. He said that far toi many teachers are cold, formal, un spiritual and uninteresting in thei work. He, too, laid unusual stres on the Importance of teachers n Cod's truth being well prepared fo their work. He said that the Sunda school lesson should be presented i such language and In such a man ncr as will lead the child face to fae with the truth. lils last remark were concerning the ultimate alni c all Bible teaching, namely, that c gathering the pupils into the fold ci Christ, the Croat Shopherd, This wa one of the best speeches of the cor vention. Mr. Smith is a young mat and bids fair to become one of ou strongest and most useful workers. The crowning event of tho couver Hon was the missionary sermon h Rev. T. L. Smith. The secretar wished' to know shorthand as ho sf listening, with hundreds of other to that masterful sermon so that ti might be able to roport it verbatin but. lack of this knowledge did n< hinder him from receiving a ne vision of our missionary work.

The Sunday school pupil should, from the very starting point, get a world wide vision of the work of Christ. After the sermon a liberal offer ing was made by the congregation for home and foreign missions, and dinner was again served on the church grounds. Sunday Afternoon. After the big "Sunday dinner" and a season of rest Mr. Durham again prepared the convention, through the medium of sacred song, for its work. The convention then took up mis cellaneous business, and adjourned about 4 o clock. Thus closed what we believe an In teresting, helpful and successful ses sion of the Baptist Sunday school convention. L. D. Mitchell, Secretary. Tho liest Method by Which Children Can Be Given an Early Chris* tian Training. (By Miss Bena Hunsinger.) The command "Peed my lambs" and "Train up a child in the way be should go," are strong and clear. The best methods by which children can be given an early Christian training UlUSt be applied In the home, the Sunday school and young people's iociol ?es. Among the many great personal!-' lies that make the pages of the Old Testament to glow with I hose shin ing qualifie.-: wisdom, strength, jus tice, mercy-that go 'to make up Hod's noblest creatures, man, perhaps none, in whole-hearted and self-sac rificing leadership, stand out as greater prototypes of our Lord than do Moses and Samuel. And surely Hod himself in his Book pays trib ute to the mighty Influence of woman in moulding character in that, in the life of both Mose? and Samuel, he shows back of the life the tender, wise training of a godly mother. It has been truly said that the mother is the child's best friend. She bas more influence over him than any one else has. Through the centuries of church history who can doubt that the silent influence of woman is the most potent factor in training and in spiring the lives that have been con secrated to obeying the four-fold command to go, to preach, to teach, to baptize? A boy or girl moy 101 get a great, many tilings, but the things that mother Impressed upon the heart and life can never he for gotten. If children are trained for Cod they will grow strong and make godly men and women. Hence tho importance of early Christian Train ing cannot be too much stressed. Those days of training will never he forgotten. They nt the child for a life of greater service and useful ness. As the child grows older he ls not so much under lils mother's influence and hit; Christian training must he given in other forms. Taking, then, into account the importance of Chris tian training as il may be shaped In early vears, I do not know of any work that equals in value that done hy the faithful, consecrated Sunday school teacher, intent on winning souls into the love and service of Christ. In the Sunday school the child is taught the simple truths ol' Hod's word. Christ who taught the twelve, continues to train notably by means ol the Sunday school. Here is laid the foundation for his greater usefulness in his Master's kingdom. The true Sunday Behool teacher must he the layer of this foundation. Nei ther he nor she may be able to su perintend the superstructure, but the superstructure always conforms to the foundation Hence it follows that, as a rule, "the child ls father to the man." Nothing can equal, In substance or proportion, the gran deur of that labor of the faithful Christian who through prayer trains a child to share the blessings of a heavenly birth and come into pos session ai least of an inheritance in corruptible and undefiled. Another one Of the good methods by which children can be given an early Christian training is the work dime in the Sunbeam bands and Royal Ambassador chapters. This develops boys and girls into Chris tian men and women. When the Woman's Missionary Union was in i ts infancy it was not long before the full realization came of the power of the children in this organization. In other words, Christian women, emancipated and organized, caught the vision that, henceforth not only were Hey to train scattered individ uals ff<r service In the Kingdom, but they were also to train up a whole veneration for Cod. The watchword ot our Worn..n's Missionary Union "Teaching thc ia to observe ?ill things whatsoever 1 nave commanded yon'' -ls ono that should arouse all of us to our obligations to young peo ple. Will our success be complete? That depends on how you and 1 live1 up to our individual responsibilities; and more especially does it depend upon the Christian mothers of this generation. In proportion as we see them saying, with Hannah of old, "As long as this child liveth bc shall be lent to the Lord," In that shall we see tho evangelization of the world In tho coining generation. Oh, how rapidly tho children are ?rowing! Every now and thou lt comes over to us that they are mount lng rapidly to manhood and to wo- j manhood, and the thought conies | that what we do for them must be; quickly done. That Is always true In working for children. Wo cannot begin tob quickly; if they arc to bo trained for the kingdom we must get about it. We must not delay, and walt for them to be led info tempta tion, or to fall Into any hurtful snare. When one work*1 svitti Children be TH KY ARE AFTER DUCKWORTH. odors Hhow What they Can Do, Too.

In your issue of March 7, in an article entitled, "What a One-Horse Farmer Did." you somewhat "get my blood up" by intimating; that few, If any, equal Mr. Duckworth's record. I am a one-little-mule farmer. Here is my record for 1913. How does it compare with Mr. Duckworth's? 10 bales cotton, averaging 540 pounds; 200 bushels corn; 100 bushels oats; 100 bushels sweet potatoes; 100 gallons molasses; 1 2 bushels ?veas; 550 pounds pork; Packed .">00 cans vegetables. Didn't pull fodder, but adopted the heiter course and shredded corn. Didn't have the help of a wife and two children, but only? that of one 11-year-old boy. To be sure I hired a hand for about 13 days, but within the year I did carpenter work 76 days away from home. To be sure 1 have two little mules with which I prepared my land, but as I am only "one" plow boy I could cultivate with only one at a time. Now. 1 know you will "Hy Into me" for not using both mules to a two horse cultivator, but I guess you "needn't." as my land ls too steep and stumpy for that. Why don't 1 rid the place of stumps? Well. I've not been able. I shirted out 13 years ago with noth ing but my bauds and my head. I bought my farm of 97 acres for $2.300, the purchase indee of which, instead of stumps, has taken my sur plus cash. I am now trying to build me a de cent and comfortable house for my wife and four babies. Can you ad vise me? J. P. Jackson. Campobollo, S. C. ' Another Hood Farmer, I wish to toll you what 1 made in 1913. My wife and I cultivated 1 aeres of land, and made nine bales of cotton, averaging 170 pounds, and sold at 13 couts per pound; about ITO bushels or corn. SO cents per bushel; 20 bushels of oats; 100 bushels ol" sweet potatoes; 110 bush els of Irish i>otatoes; 4 0 bushels of peas; 1,200 pounds of fodder; 3,000 pounds of peavine hay, and 1 also had some small truck patches, in cluding beans, watermelons, etc. I also raised 100 chickens and 900 pounds of i" "k. 1 am a land renter, and I feel Uko I owe all my success to the Progres sive Farmer. I could never have had courage enough to write lo your pa mper until I saw Mr. Duckworth's let ter, as I am an 860-poutfd mule far mer. I believe In deep breaking 'and. and would like to be a : wo mule fermer, but I will have to get along with one a few years longer. I have often felt discouraged when reading those letters talking about the little one-horse farmerb, when lt ls tho best I can do at present, feel like there are many little one horse men like myself. Hut don't lie discouraged; let us pu'?l up, hop ing some day to be a bigger farmer. ' J. B. B. Wayne County, N. C.

Woodmen of tho World. Up to this point the ease had been hardly fought, with the outcome apparently in doubt. It seemed fr mi the evidence that Thos. C. Harmon, son of the plain tiff, was insured under n ben efl t cer tificate Issued by Live Oak Camp, Woodmen of the World, of Glendale. The young man died in the autumn of 101U and his father, as lils bene ficiary, claimed the Insurance. The Woodmen refused to pay the claim, on thc ground that Thos. C. Harmon prior to lils death was suspended from the order and that his insurance policy had lapsed by reason of his non-payment of the monthly pre til I unis. The elder Harmon then sued, set ting up the contention that he was entitled to recover because lils son's mind was so deranged during his ill ness that lie was Incapable of attend ing to lils business. Judge Shipp di rected a verdict for the defendant on the ground that lt was not shown that tlie defendant had received no tice of the deceased policyholder's disability.
