More Than Two Hundred Delegates Attend the Opening Meeting of the State ConventionSymposium by Twin City Delegates a Feature of the Meeting. -r JOHN OBCHAED, jjc j*j General Secretary for the Annual State jjj jD Sunday School Convention. jjj Special to The Journal. Owatonna, Minn., April 26.The Minnesota Su'n'day School association began its forty-seventh annual conven tion yesterday afternoon, at the Meth odist church,'with more than 200 dele gates in attendance. Jeff H. Irish of Detroit is presiding and W. C. Pearce, a Chicago specialist, is creating much enthusiasm. This will be the most successful convention the organization has ever held. At the opening E. J. Krafft of Mi'n neapolis was chosen secretary and a committee on nominations was appoint ed. Stanley B. Eoberts of Minneapo lis contributed a devotional, "The Heart of the Child." Discussions fol lowed several very interesting papers, including "The Formative Period," by Mrs. James Gray of Minneapolis "The Adolescent Period," by Miss Louise A. Emery of St. Paul "Youn^g People's Period," by A. A. Benton of Minneapo lis and "The Adult Period," by W. C. Pearce, the Chicago specialist. The session was opened last night with a song service led by Eev. W. R. Keesey of Owato'n'na. Rev. R. M. West, D.D. of St. Paul read a paper on The Sunday School Idea,'' and the ex tension of the Sunday school was dis cussed by Mr. Pearce. An offering was taken for state work. Orchard Tells of Progress. The annual report of John Orchard, general secretary, shows that the work has been making greater progress the last two years than in any years since its organization, twenty-five years ago. Thirty-three counties which were not organized two years ago are now do ing splendid work. The association has organized sixty-three counties out of the eighty-four in the state. What may be considered the best proof of the progress the work is mak ing and of the appreciation of the peo ple, is the remarkable increase of re ceipts the last three years.

Only sixteen coun ties contributed towards the support of the association in 1901-2, but in the past "year thirty-four helped financially. The interest in the work is especially manifested in the cities of Minneapo lis and St. Paul, Ramsey and Henne pin counties. In the year 1902-3 Min neapolis gave the state association only $R7S, while 1904-5 will see her with a list ox nearly $1,000. St. Paul has also increased her do nations from $90 in 1902 to nearly $400 in 1904-5. Thus, there has been an aggregate state gain of nearly 100 per cent since the convention at Wi nona in 1902. Growth of Convention Work. Tn convention work the growth is stijl more noticeable. In 1902-3 there were but sixteen counties that held annual conventions outside the twin cities. These gatherings reached an aggregate of 850 workers, 425 schools and diiectly touching about 22,000 children.. In 1904-5 forty-eight con ventions convened, with an aggregate of 3.200 teachers and officers and touch ing 80,000 children. To accomplish these things it was necessary for the secretary to travel over 14,000 miles, mail 1,762 letters and postcards, attend forty eight conventions, organize six new" counties and prepare 58,000 pieces of literature, of which 46,000 were sent out Irom the office. The State Sunday School association is interdenominational and internation al in its work and should not be con fused with the American Sunday School union or any other denominational or ganization. Its purpose is to unite the Sunday schools of every denomination into a body in the belief that more good can lie accomplished if there is harmonious working between the dif ferent schools. Many Pledges for the Work. The convention secured pledges to day'of $2{336 from county organiza tions and individual schools. Tonight personal pledges will be received. A good financial condition is assured for the coming year. The committee on nominations is considering a proposed change in the constitution to make the chairman of the executive committee the acting chief official during the year and the association president the presiding of ficer at conventions. Rev. Lewis S. Hall of St. Peter, S. W. Batson of Minneapolis, Rev. A. M. Palmer of Minneapolis, J. K. Fancher of Dodge Center, E. J. Runitz of Springfield and J. H. Martin of Min neapolis, took prominent parts in this forenoon's proceedings.
