The International Sunday-School Convention

The recent great International Sunday-school Convention recommended that the Bible be placed in the public schools of North America, a thing neither wise nor Christian. It also voted for international arbitration, and for placing marriage and divorce regulations in the hands of the Federal Government. The following officers were elected: president, W. N. Hartshorn; general secretary, Marion F. Lawrance; assistant general secretary, Hugh Cork; superintendent adult department, W. C. Pearce; superintendent teacher training department, Franklin McElfresh, D.D.; superintendent missionary department, W. A. Brown, D.D.; superintendent elementary division, Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner; field worker for the Northwest, W. C. Merritt, D.D.; field worker for the West Indies and Central America, Aquila Lucas, D.D.; superintendent home and visitation department, J. Shreve Durham; field worker for Mexico, E. M. Sein, D.D. Chicago was selected for the next convention, in 1914.
