the mission work of the Sunday Schools
offered report embracing resolutions ia
favor of the employment OF large num-
Der Of colporteurs, and commanding the
mission work OF the Sunday Schools to
the prayers and liberality OF Christian
brethren.
Brother Teasdale spoke TO show the inn
| portance of the mission work of Sunday
| Schools II involved the future of the
/ children and thus the future of the
church. We propose only TO establish
Baptist sshools. We don't propose to
have union schools, even when there are
few Baptists. If you have but ten chill
dren, make Il Baptist school. We alone
hold the entire truth as It Is in Jesus. He

to do his part A number of subscrip-
tions were received.
Brother Dudley sustained the call for
aid. The Board was responsible for not
doing more.

had yielded the floor by mistake, and

tions should not be adopted before col
lections. The Chair said the affair had
