C., Wednesday, March 28, 1923 SECRETARY ROSS TO S. S. WORKERS Urges Large Attendance Of Stokes People On Sunday School Convention At Wins ton-Salem April 10-12. I wish it were possible for me to write a personal letter to each Sunday School, to every Sunday School worker, and to each preacher who has charge of a church in Stokes county, but my time is so limited that this will be impossible, so I take this method of bringing the message to you. The North Carolina State Sun day School convention will meet in Winston-Salem on Tuesda>, Wednesday and Thursday, April 10. 11, 12, 1 ( .»23. This will be the greatest Sunday School con vention ever held in our State. It will be well worth your time to attend these meetings. Those who go will come back very much stronger Sunday School workers than they have ever been before. It will be an op portunity to attend a State con vention at a very little expense. It will no doubt be' some time be fore another State convention will be so near to us. The Wins ton-Salem people are going to do everything they can to make you welcome to their city. With these things to consider. I think it would be a wise move for every Sunday School in our coun ty to send at least their Pastor, Superintendent and teachers. One of the easiest ways to get help in something we are trying to do is to learn from some one who is doing the things we want to do. I also wish it were possible for me at this time to furnish a pro gram for each day of the con vention, but as yet I have not received one. But there will be some of the best Sunday School workers in our country with us. Dr. Marion Lawrence, of Chicago, 111., will be there thru the entire convention. Dr. Law rence is the greatest Sunday School man of our generation.' It would be worth anybody's time to make the trip if there was no one to hear but him, yet there are a number of other speak ers of national reputation. The State speakers to take part in this convention number about thirty, who are the best to be found inside our borders. Try an automobile trip to the convention carrying a party of Sunday School workers. You will come home to your Sunday School with a new vision. The | roads will be good and I hope tO | see a great number of my folks at this meeting. The opening session of the convention will be called to or der Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, April 10th, at First Presbyterian church. F. S. ROSS. County Secretary. Messrs. C. >l. Sheppard and P.
