BIBLE SCHOOL CONVENTION 
HELD AT MANCHESTER. 
The Salem Baptist Bible School 
convention was held Wednesday, 
May 14, at the Baptist church, Man- 
chester. It was an all day session, and 
some 350 or more people were here, 
representing the various churches 
of the association, which extends 
from Manchester to Lynn. 
The session opened at 10 o’clock in 
the morning and continued into the 
evening, with plenty of speakers on 
all phases of Sunday School and kin- 
dred work. Nearly 500 meals were 
served by large committee in charge 
in the vestry of the church. Everybody 
spoke in high praise of the manner 
in which the local society managed 
the convention under the direction of 
the pastor, Rev. A. G.Warner 
One of the pleasantest features of 
the evening session, and a surprise to 
the local contingent, was the an- 
nouncement that the prize banner of- 
fered the class of boys between 12 and 
18, having the highest percentage, 
had been won by the boys of the 
Manchester church. ‘The prize was 
awarded on a percentage basis to the 
class of boys of the above-stated age, 
that had the highest average percent- 
_age for general knowledge of the les- 
sons, or attendance and for interest- 
ing other boys. Each week the re- 
cord was sent into the state secretary 
and the result of the contest was an- 
nounced last night. 
There were many interesting speak- 
ers and addresses throughout the day, 
and it would fill our pages to over- 
flowing to print them all. One of the 
most interesting of the day was by 
Percy Ray of Salem, whose — sub- 
ject was, “Is the work of the Sunday 
School completed when a boy goes in- 
to the church? 
In speaking of the scope of the 
work of the Sunday school after a boy 
has joined the church, Mr. Ray said 
that the work of the school had but 
really commenced after a young per- 
son had taken the step to battle for 
a place in the world. ‘The boy starts 
out on his career a Christian,” said 
Mr, Ray, ‘but if he does not read his 
Bible and follow his teachings he will 
soon be found in a place other than 
Sunday School. 
“When a young man goes to work 
his employer may scoff at him when 
he takes up religion. In his school 
days perhaps the boy has been study- 
ing under a teacher of another reli- 
gious faith; that instructor is quite 
likely to prejudice herself against him 
and will neglect to properly guide him 
in his lessons. That is where the test 
comes for the Sunday School. Every

Christian should arouse himself and 
labor for the boys who are trying to 
be Christians. The lessons which the 
youth studies should be made so in- 
teresting for him that the subjects of 
baseball and football will not come up 
for consideration during the study of 
the lesson. Many young men taken 
into our churches have dropped out 
for this reason. The teacher gets dis- 
couraged at this action, but it is his 
fault. If the lessons are made suttt- 
ciently attractive the  right-thinking 
young men will not leave the school.” 
Mr.. Ray named President Wilson 
and Secretary of State Bryan as two 
men whose early training was govern- 
ed to no little extent by the Sunday 
School environment which they grew 
up in. ‘These men,” continued Mr. 
Ray, “have carried into the White 
House the lessons which they learned 
in Sunday School. It is the training 
which every man should have who is 
going to have anything to do with the 
laws of the country.” 
The speaker likened the Sunday 
School to a great carpenter shop, as he 
expressed it, “fitting our boys for the 
battle of life.” “Let the Sunday 
School see that the young man follows 
some useful vocation and then help 
him to succeed.”

BOMONOS 
Che Peril of Ease 
Are you sheltered, curled up and content by the world’s warm fire? 
Then I say your soul is in danger! 
The sons of the Light, they are down with God in the mire, 
The old-time heroes you honor, whose banners you bear, 
The whole world no longer prohibits: 
But if you peer into the past you will find them there; 
So rouse from your perlious ease: to your sword and your shield: 
Your ease is the ease of the cattle. 
Hark, hark where the bugles are calling! Out to some field— 
—Edwin Markham in May Nautilus.

PEDLARS’ PARADE 
The Manchester Town hall was 
crowded last Friday evening when the 
Pedlars’ Parade and vaudeville enter- 
tainment given under the auspices of 
Harmony Guild was the attraction. 
‘The affair was a sucess in every par- 
ticular. It is not known definitely 
what was the financial result of the 
evening, though it will probably run 
into three figures. 
The hall was attractively decorated 
with flowers and flags and the au- 
dience was well entertained by good 
vaudeville numbers. Between acts a 
large number of the members, costum- 
ed to represent various nations, cir- 
culated among the audience and sold 
wares from their panniers. 
The entertainment numbers in- 
cluded: Balkan dance, by Miss Bea- 
trice Long; baritone solo, “Out where 
the breakers roll,’ by Donald Pelton, 
and ~ solo, “Georgianna Lou,” by Mr. 
Pelton, assisted by a chorus of whist- 
ling girls; tableaux representing the 
Goddess of Liberty, the navy, army 
and Uncle Sam, and a farce entitled 
“A paper match,” the characters be- 
ing taken by Mrs. F. G. Cheever, 
Miss Helen Wing, John Carter and 
Frank Floyd. There was also a lit- 
tle sketch called “Dr. Makeover,” in 
which Prof. Saben as the Dr. did all 
kinds of miraculous stunts in ‘‘mak- 
ing over’ his patients into whatever 
they desired. The High school or- 
chestra furnished music. 
The chairmen of committees in 
charge were Miss Alice Blaisdell, 
vaudeville; Miss Annie Lane, decora- 
tion; Mrs. Allen Peabody, candy; 
Mrs, Raymond C, Allen, publicity; 
Miss Beth Jewett, grab; Miss Elea- 
nor Morgan, notions and fancy arti- 
cles; Mrs. Alice Joseph, pop corn and 
Mrs. L. W. Carter, flowers and pea- 
nuts.
