Regional Convention
Henry County has bet n allotted
15 as a mimimum puota of dele
gates for the two Regional Con
ventions of the Georgia Sunday
School Association, to be held in
Athens, on May 14, 15, 16, and in
Berry Schools at Rome, on May
16, 17 and 18. Officers of the
local County Sunday School As
sociation are urged to do all they
can to secure at least the minimum
quota of delegates, and as many
more as possible to attend one of
these Conventions. Every county
reaching it quota will have an at
tractive attendance banner pre
sented to the county officers.
The quota is based on the popu
lation and the distance from the
convention cities. Many counties
will have large quotas to reach,
to receive the attendance banner.
Preparatory to working up Sun
day School interest throughout
the State, the Georgia Sunday
School Association has suggested
to the County and District Sunday
School Associations the holding
of District Conventions on either
the first or second Sunday after
noon in April. The theme to be
used in these conventions will be
Putting new life into the Sunday
School. Following the district
conventions, will come county
wide school visitation, on Sunday,
May 6th, and speakers will visit
the schools to tell them of the op
portunity afforded in these re
gional conventions for training
and inspiration. Two special fea
tures of the State Conventions will
be the emphasis laid on Sunday
School work for the one-room
church, and the Daily Vacation
Bible School. The program will
be unexcelled in its list of out-of
state speakers, as Georgia s
best workers. An outstanding
music leader, C. Harold Lowden,
of Philadelphia, has been secured,
and in every respect these con
ventions will measure up to those
of preceding years.

are great for our grown up chil
