>unday School Convention.
The fifth annual convention of the
Sunday schools of Jefferson county
vas held in the Lutheran church in
Shepherdstown last Friday and Saturlay.
The convention was called to
>rder at 10.30 Friday morning by
Secretary C. H. Shipman, the presilent,
Rev. A. A. P. Neel, being univoidably
absent. After devotional
jxercises the convention was formally
>rganized by the election of the followng
officers: President, Mr. Geo. M.
Beltzhoover, of Shepherdstown; secre;ary,
Mr. C. H. Shipman, of Charles:own
; treasurer, Mr. A. D. Barr, of
iJharlestown ; vice-presidents, W. P.
Licklider, Samuel Barr, Charles Kable,

Myers; executive committee, Rev. A.
A.. P. Neel, Rev. S. W. Coe, Rev. G.
j. Everhart, Rev. J. P. Stump, C. H.

dosed with an able address on "The
Model Sunday School," by Rev. Dr.
Wm. H. Neilson.
The afternoon session opened with a
discussion of the subject, The Value of

the Individual and to the Home, Judge
Frank Beckwith, Miss Lucy D. Young
and Mr. H. W. Crittenden discussing
the question upon its various heads.
"The Qualifications of a Successful
Sunday School Teacher" was spoken
on in the most interesting manner by
Rev. J. P. Stump, and a paper on the
same subject, prepared by Miss Kate
Riddle, was read by Mr. Shipman.
An hour devoted to a question boi
service was conducted by Mr. P. H.
Bristow very acceptably.
A large congregation assembled Friday
night to hear an address by Mr.
P. H. Bristow, of Washington. Mr.
Bristow is superintendent of Calvary
Baptist Sunday school in that city,
which is regarded as one of the most
successful Sunday schools in this country,
having a membership of over
1,500. Mr. Bristow is a wide-awake
worker in this line, devoting his entire
time to the cause, and is familiar with
the modern methods. His address
was a comprehensive discussion of Sunday
school work, delivered in a pleasing
manner. Mr. Bristow also sang a
solo with marked impression.
The exercises of Saturday morning
were opened with devotional exercises
led by Mr. Bristow. The first topic
was "The Waste of Intemperance anci
what can the Sunday School do to prevent
it ?" discussed at length by Rev
W. R. D. Moncure and by Mr. C. H
Shiprnan. "How can we hold the
Young Men in the Sunday School ?'
was the subject of earnest and able ad
dresses by Rev. S. W. Cole and Mr
- - ? * i \r: ? \f
Geo. M. Beltztioover, ana jmibh iuai;
Ware also 8]?oke upon it. "How Bes
to Teach an Infant Class" was dis
cussed by Miss Laura C. St rider am
Mr. Bristow. "Your Model Superin
tendent" was the last question upoi
the programme. Rev. J. L. Kible
made an excellent address on the sub
ject, and a paper prepared by Mis
Kate Tanquarv was read by Miss Ell
I Ilout. The closing address was mad
by Mr. Bristow, who in an earnest am
effective manner summed up the worl
of the convention and applied the les
sons to be learned from it and th
benefits to be derived. Mr. Bristol
sang a couple of solos very acceptably
The committee on resolutions pre
sented a report, expressing regret a
the absence of President Neel an
tendering sympathy in the death (
his father; requesting contribution
from each Sunday school in the count
to carry on the work of the conver
tion ; thanking Mr. Bristow for h
presence and service; and thankin
the authorities of the Lutheran churc
for the use of the church building an
the people of Shepherdstown for the
generous hospitality. With a few aj
propriate remarks by President Belt;
hoover, and the benediction by Re
Dr. Charles (ihiselin, tlie conventit
formally adjourned.
It is generally conceded that th
convention was the most successf
and satisfactory yet held. There w;
a large attendance of delegates fro
the various Sunday schools of the cou
ty, and the interest was great fro
the first session to the last. It is b
lieved that it will result in renew*
diligence in the work and irnprov
ment in the methods used. Frof.
' C. Unseld played the pipe organ
his usual masterly style, and Mr. .
D. Barr led the singing with mm
spirit. The time and place of ne
meeting was left to the executive coj
, mittee.

* The fire alarm was sounded la
Monday about noon, a fire having be

house on Iligh street occupied bv t
families of Samuel Ranson and W'ils
