Mr. W. T. Bassett, chairman of the decorating committee, with the assistance of the young people of the First Baptist church will see that the audience room is tastily decorated in a manner worthy of the great convention to be held there Tuesday and Wednesday of next week; but in order that our friends outside of the city may also contribute something along this line the chairman desires that each township should send or bring in early Tuesday morning something in the way of a bunch of wild flower, golden rod, or evergreen wreath or rope that may be used to make the decorating more complete.
Any delegates or friends who
attend the Sunday school convention and wish to bring lunch with
them will find the cosy ladies' parlor in the basement of the
Baptist church at their disposal. There are plenty of
chairs, tables and pure sparkling drinking water fresh from the
artesan wells of the city which exceed all others in the world
for native Hoosiers of St. Joe county. So if you prefer
bring your baskets well filled with good things and there enjoy
them at the noon hour.
Having been asked by a number of delegates to the coming county
Sunday school convention Oct. 1 and 2, what the duties of the
delegates will be and what will be expected of them I wish to say
it is expected that they will attend every session that is
possible for them to note the proceedings and report the same to
their respective schools, and vote on every question that comes
before them either yea or no, and express their views in the
discussion of any questions before them, and be ready to work on
any committee to which they may be appointed by the chairman, and
above all fill yourselves "brim full" of enthusiasm and
carry the fire back with you in your reports on the following
Sunday succeeding the convention. And to this end I would
suggest that you come with pencil and tablet prepared to take
notes of the entire proceedings as if you were the secretary of
the convention. The success of the convention rests largely
in the hands of individual delegates. Will you do your
entire duty?
