Scruth Carolina,
| 'Dear" Co-Workers- ? -?
Tho tbirtv-third annual session
| of the State Sundav Sehool and
B. Y.?P. U. convention is near at
hand. This letter serves as a last
minute call to all who are interested
in the work of th(. convention,
reminding you to niako ami
complete yc/nr plans now to meet
us at Benedict coliege in July.
-There is a great host of 'Sundav
school superintendents,
P. U. presidents who .hove never",
attended one of these "a nn ual sotssions,
and we are pleading with
you to come to your convention
this year. Columbia is centrally
located. Easily reached from any
section of tho?state.???am?
pealing especially to pastors and
the various auxiliaries of ttie
churches to put forth special efforts
to help the various schools
and unions to make ample preparation
for the state convention. I
also note that our district mission
aries are rushing now from church
to pVlllVnU rvtobine. 1 A --11
...?rw..iK in*ii uiM r;u?
for the support of missions and
education. Pleaisp drfn't turn a
deaf ear to these final calls; don't
turn them down at this late moment?the
call is too preat, and
the need too urpent. ^Moreover,"
f >r somp cause or reason, you
1 live -refused- to respond to- -the
-rpent appeal of the state mission
board for monthly (rfTerinfcs,' and
as we have received such a small
amount through this channel, wo
.must make this last minute call
for you to contribute liberally toward
this work or we will be financial!
embarrassed at our annual
session this year.
The parent-body under tHe lead
ership of Dr. H. H. Butler, has
closed its annual^ session with a
record-breakinp attendance and a
marvelous financial success. The
Women"-* Convention, -under the
leadership of Mrs. M. K. Howard
has just?dosed onf of the most
successful annual sessions in its
history. It w*as a hupe success?
spiritually, financially, and numer
! ically. Some of the greatest and
most ardent supporters of the S.
! S. and BYPU convention belong
i to these two bodies that have just
I closed their excellent annual scssion.
It is, therefore, befitting and
1 proper that all eyes, he&ftS, and
minds turn now to Benedict college
for the thirty-third annual session
Trf the 'Statp S. R. and?B.Y.P.U.
convention. These three conventions
tTT-cffuLt constitute one ffraal.
family?parents and children. It
would be unnatural for good parrents
to fail to_come to Benedict
| on the 12th of July and see what
their children are doing? We
have one of the most informing,
1 cjowsti uctive and attractive pro-^
grams to be found among Sunday.
