VesMiun of the Pasquotank County Sunday School Convention held hi ' I lie Itlnckwell Memorial Ilaptisl Church.. lOliiaheth City, yesterday afternoon and last nbjkf. Anion*; those present were lo pastor*, 11 superintendents, and 130 teachers rtnd other officer*. Other sea- 1 bions of the convention will l>e , held i lila afternoon, and tonight and tomorrow night at 7:110 o'clock. Thohe in charge of the meeting are expecting a good at tendance at each session. The opening address of I In* con ventlon yesterday afternoon wan given by Miss iKilsy Mage? , Itu leiKh. children's division superin u ndent of tho North Carolina Sunday School Association, her subject being "Teaching the Child." The discussion wan Riv en under three heads; namely. "The teacher, the great objective and the curriculum." "It ia not a difficult matter." said Miss Mugee, "to secure ba son material and other equipment, but the great problem la to serine teachers of power and devotion who are able to leave their im press upon youth. "To ho a teacher of religion calls for a particularly exalted personality. The teacher's life must be an Interpreter of the truth he teaches. The teacher 01 religion rouat possess the vital re ligious experience he would have the pupils attain In God. No in tellectual power anil grasp. no; rich knowledge gleaned, no skill of Instruction can take the plac* of a spirit filled conMclousnesa of Ood in the heart. The teacher in the second place must be a stu dent, and by study prepare him self to his tank. Objective* In Teaching "Then- are two objectives In teaching, the child and the sub ject matter, but the greater of these is the child. The child conies to ut? with untold latent potentialities waiting for the touch of the instructor to develop the latent powers. Kach child has a soul and It Is the teacher's fascinating task to direct for a time the destiny of each child In the class. If the leading of the child is wine, It will lead a nor mal Christian life and have a growing conaclousnesK of Ood. Thl.-> does not mean tlial the child will never do wr^>ng nor that when the age of tynlce cornea to the youth be will^ot ftiake a per Honal derision for Christ, but rather It means that the attitude ??f- mind and the roniplete trend of the life of the child will be re 'llgioiis. '"If the child is considered to lie*the great objective I hi- subject matter will be made a means to an end Instead of nn end. Just as the child Is the center of the Sunday School so the lllhle should be the renter of the curriculum. Materia Ik pertaining to the church, to {illusions, and to worship should be used In Instructing the child. Ail material should he gathered to meet the needs of tho child, the whole curriculum should lie for the child," Itev. Walter Oelty, Klchmoud. Virginia, director of Young l?eo I pie's work for the Southern I'res [hften. i n Church, gave an address >n the subject "The Challenge of s Dli: Task.' Mr. (Jetty said In pari : "Today a Omit I>a>*' "It Is certainly true that we are living in a day of tremendous Im portance and possibilities. This Is true In flu llrnt place when we look nt the character of the day In which w? are living It Is a day of marvelous invention* and discoveries as seen In the automo bile, aeroplane, radio; and the spirit of the day la Rcttta* into people's llvoH, especially Into the lives of young people.

A prominent professor of biology In an Eastern university said to a class of beginners recently, 'Now the first thing you need to do ?.? to forget everything you lenrncn in Sunday School and church.' "With the character of the day before us we face In the second place the task demanded by thlx day. There Is an earnest effort being made everywhere to find the remedy. This remedy will not be found In education alone nor In political movements, nor economic re-adjustments, and not even In celling back to dogmas and creeds. There is only one answer for the needs of the dav, for thr one supreme task Is to teach the redeeming, purifying, and ennob ling gospel of Jesus Christ. There Ih no question about the need oC 'leaching the gospel message. This whs the plan of Christ himself, and religious education must be the hig task of the church today. "If we have the task clearly in mind, then In the third place we are ready to face the challenge of this big task, it la n challenge to the Church to revise Its methods, for the methods of 2 0 or 30 years ugo are certainly not the methods for this great day in which we live. It Is a challenge to th ? Church to give rightrnl place to childhood and youth. Jesus pu*. the child In the tnldst, but In s?? many cases we sre content to keep the young person on the outside. It Is also a challenge to a new expression of spiritual power. Spiritual power must be built Into the every day character and expe rience of our people." (W. 'Km onri Hold "Km The theme of an Interesting ad dress delivered by D. W. Sims, at the session or Sunday afternoon was "Gettirig and Holding Adults in the Sunday School." "In the twenty-flrst chapter of the Oospel of John, from the second through the eleventh verse." said Mr. Sims, "there Is the story of seven men who were out fishing. They had ft?hed all night, hut had caught nothing. Early In the morning some one called from the shore and ss id , 'Have you any Hah' and the men replied, 'No. we have none.'

This. in brief. is the status of in ter-rounty highway* In ibis part of the Albemarle sec I ion as given by T. II. Wilson, resident engi neer for the State Highway Com mission. The Camdeu-Sligo road is being built by i ho ItobertM 1'aving Com pany. of Salisbury, Maryland. About I wo miles of it have been completed enstwardly from a point neur Camden Courthouse. It has not been linked with the "floating road" yet. but will be this sum mer. About teu miles of It remain to be constructed, uml the work probably will be finished by Octo ber. according to Mr. Wilson. Th? resident engineer adds rhat there is a possibility thai the Koberts Company 'h contract may bo ex tended to include the remaining two miles between Sligo and Cur rituck Courthouse. The road from Sligo to the Virginia line is nine and nine tenths niileM long. Mr Wilson says. Its construction Is to be B minred from the proceeds of a $200,000 bond isaue by Currituck County, to be repsid by the State later and applied In Ihe same fashion on a paved road south wardly from Currituck Court house. The bond issue was authorized hy the Currituck County hoard of commissioners in their regular monthly session last Monday. WOMEN VOTERS AT CHARLOTTE TUESDAY Charlotte, March H. ?
