Exeter May 15—The annual county conventionof. the gouth Huron Sun- day- School Assoclati'on was 'held In the Main Street Methodist church in this village yesterday. C. M. Hauch vice- president of Brucefield presided, Mr, Henry Strang of Hurondele, spoke or the ways in which the church and Sun- day school may help each other. The reports bf Superintendents " of the various departments showed the work' to 1Se in a healthy condition, Miss 'raggart of the 'central office, Toronto gave many helpful hints on Sunday school - work. ... Not enough Action. At the evening session, Rev. H. B. Parnaby of E1imville, spoke on "The Boy and the Sunday School." He held that the, average Sunday school isn't nucha good for !toys, The boys aren't dthwn towards them because there isn't enough action to suit their desire for activity. He would have the teacher 0f the boys' class, the captain of the baseball team, He would give the boys the opportunity to get rid of their sur- plus urplus. energy by providing games for then, The boy may never have read Emerson's dictum: "What you are speaks so loudly •1 cannot hear what you say." yet it is very true of every boy. This is .seen in the fact that the will go mites to see a ball game, but wild horses couldn't take hint to the, prayer meeting. He isn't bad for all that. He just wants to be active. Rev. S. M. Hauch, pastor of Crediton Evangelical Church, introduced the subject of "The Successful Rural Sun- day School." The rural question is an important one, in fact, so important, that it is occupying the attention of churches, conventions, statesmen, par- liaments, etc. He believed that many of'the rural Sunday Schools were good because of the results.. In the M. E. church, south, 66 per -cent of the min- isters were from the country, 50 per cent were minister's sons. In the Pres- byterian church, south, the per centages were 47 per cent and 15 per cent. In the Canadian Evangelical church, 7t per cent came froth rural communities and 9 per cent were minister's sons, the remainder of the ministers 'were scat- tered in their origin. Farmeris sons are first, minister's sons, second, even though. the ministerial population is small, ' He held that the successful Sunday school should endeavor to reach every body, from the baby in ,arms to the grandmother. It should be a progres- sive school, The recreational ' side shouldn't be neglected. Variety should be striven for. They should be repre- sented in convention and rural parlia- hients. Lastly, the. successful rural. school should never forget to keep constantly.,in the forefront, the lead- ing of the child to -Jesus Christ.
