Sunday School Convention, yrho tenth annual convention of tho Wobstor county Union Sunday school association met in tho Methodist church in this city on May 23d at 11 a.m. according to program. Tho re cent rains tonded to kcop down tho dust nnd to warrant a cool atmosphero so that no ono was hindered by thoso convention terrors (dust aud extremo boat) from coming. Good delegations carao from every direction, nnd tho vlsitois from far and near swelled tho attendance up into tho hundreds. Tho work of tho program committee was a difficult ono but tho nrrangomont of tho paper; and discussions which woro both strong and up to date, mot tho approval of tho convention. Tho con vention opened on tinio nnd tho work was accomplished with nlacrity. Tho choir waB lillod with about forty voices and again tho convention, as of old, was fairly lifted onwnrd nnd upward by tho forco of enthusiastic song. Tho homes of Red Cloud wero thrown wldo open, so to sponk, to tho largo number of this Sunday school host, nnd tho hospitality of n christian community was uustlntiutily shared. Some impor tant parts of tho couvontlon woro tho sunrise prayer meeting on Wednesday morning; tho recommendation of a committee, of which L A. Ilussong was chairman, that thn now and uni form constitution nud bylaws for coun ty work in tho stuto bo adopted, which was necordinclv done, rolegating tho old to tho history only of our Sunday school work; tho Question Box which was conducted by Rov.

Next Tuesday will bo Docoration day and although wo hnvu not been in vited to participate in thu oxorciscs, nevertheless wo shall endeavor to form a procession of children and pay our tribute 01 rcspcci 10 inu uoparioa heroes. Thoto Is no other opportunity so well calculated to Instill into chil dren's hearts a puro and unsoliish pat riotism as strowing llowors upon 1110 touts of sod that contain thu nation's dead. But wo teachers hnvu 110 moans of compelling children to march in a procession. I wish to remind paronts that they have a duty to perforin in this matter. If parents will start each of tlioif children to Jho school houso and givo each of them a Hag and a buncli of llowors to carry, wo can mnko a crcdltnblo showing iu a pro cession. Wo do not want children to march in tho procession unwillingly; wo do want them to go cheerfully, patriotically and with a fuilsuiisoof duty wo owe to the men that sacriliced their lives fot our eoimUi. Thu day Is a legal holiday, schools aro not iu session, nnd wo cannot gotchildron to join tho procession if parents will not co-opoiato witli us. Let us hnvu a procession of school children that will show thu votorans that wo honor them while thoy are living, and dock their graves with flowers whon thoy aro dead. Gr.o I.
