The officers of the Bamberg Coun- ^ ty Sunday-school association held an * important conference in Olar Wednes- J nesdav afternoon, May 30th. Those present were: A. B. Utsey, Bamberg, ] county president; Dr. L. A. Hartzog, Olar. adult superintendent; Mrs. H. ^ J. Zeigler, Ehrhardt, secondary su perintendent; Rev. Achille Sassara, Olar; D. J. Delk, president Bamberg ] district; G. P. Herndon, president Ehrhardt district; C. F. Rizer, pres- j ident Olar district; R. D. Webb, spar tanburg, State Sunday-school secre- j tary. ' The purpose of the conference was ? to make out a pragramme of service J for the county association during the year. This county association, like j thousands of others the world over, exists for the purpose of bringing definite, practical help to every school ? in. its territory. In the effort to reach and help the schools one of the plans will be to hold an annual county convention at which meeting expert Sunday-school workers will make practical talks and the local Sunday-school people of all denomi- j nations will have an opportunity to exchange Sunday-school ideas. The ^ county is divided into four districts, ? and at least two conventions will be held in each district every year. The J county and district officers will personally visit the schools of the coun- ^ ty and carry to them helpful messages. Hundreds *of Sunday-school leaflets will be distributed during the year and these will help to increase Sunday-school efficiency in the county. Many things were aennueiy pjan- 11 ned Wednesday. The banner county J standard of efficiency was set as an aim for the year. While this county ] standard is being reached it will be the aim to add at least one point of j efficiency to every school in the county, such as gradle roll, home depart- . ment, graded lessons, teacher train- 1 ing class, and good records. The elementary division will aim to organize ten cradle rolls and secure the adoption of graded lessons in at least ten schools. The secondary and adult division each will aim to organize ten classes in the county. 1 It was decided to hold a series of ' district conventions in the county during the last of July. A convention will be held in each of the four districts in four days. At the request ^ /-\fRpore a Stflfp worker Ui. I Iir IVU1U,' Ul?\Vi v ? _ , will spend these four days in the county assisting the local workers in the district conventions. The annual county convention will be held between August 1 and August 15. The time and place will be announced at an early date. The Bamberg county association, which was organized only a short time ago, is entering into the work with enthusiasm and will be. it is believed, the means of bringing about greater efficiency in all the Sundayschools of all denominations in the | county.?Contributed, WOMAN, l touch Y( VOUR home is certain to be touched by the war in which we are engaged. It may seem remote and impersonal to you now, but you must not permit this ? _ _ impression to so persist as to bring you bitter, life-long % regrets which will cloud the rest of your days. It is true that in the first call for men, the ages are confined to 21 to 30 inclusive. But we may find it necessary to put three million men or more in the field. Don't pou know that in our civil war, rhen of sixty and boys of sixteen Fought shoulder to shoulder before the war was done? Don't you know that Sixty and Sixteen are fighting shoulder to shoulder today somewhere in France? Be very certain of one thing, this war will touch your home in some way, either through son, Father, brother or someone very dear to you, before the war is done. Is your husband past fifty?

Let us hope and pray that they will not be called?but do not let us blind ourselves to the possibility that they WAY be called. Remember, twenty million men are fighting today, and twenty million men have been killed, shell-torn, mangled, blinded, wounded and invalided before this. All Europe is aflame, and we are just going in. WAKE UP to it. We are at WAR?and you may pay with bitter years of sorrow if you fail to open your eyes to it today. Let's Be SAFE Let us so conduct the arming and equipping of our first million men, the financing and feeding of our Allies, that no more men need be sent ?that YOUR man need not go. It has Always been women's part to bring comfort and alleviate suffering. Suffering, impaired health and the most extreme discomforts are inseparable from war. It has always been the women's part?it has always been the blessed duty of womanhood / ?to alleviate this. It is of most vital importance that our men, whether actively at the front or in training camps in this country, be equipped / to the highest degree of efficiency. We want our boys to have steel trench helmets to protect them against shells that burst overhead. They have none today. They must have gas masks?they must be protected against liquid fire which sears flesh from the bones in an instant. The difference of cost between two grades of socks?a slightly superior quality of underclothing may ward off pneumonia, may repel consumption, may keep some boy's life from being shattered. How Would YOU Feel? You can help save the lives of many boys. You can preserve them from extreme discomfort, from serious danger, and, as you will do in this emergency, just so the mothers, sisters, sweethearts of the whole nation will do.
