THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
have all had their annual picnics, or
rather excursionS, except the NJ. E
school, and they have announced one TO
come Of shortly, which will be the fnis
Of the season, and rs far as the N. E
school is concerned inis generally as
far us picnic excursions are concerned
These picnic excursions are assuming
Iephantine proportions upon the hands
Of the managers OF our schools. The Tact
il it costs too much money-more than
the people are able or, 10 most cases
willing 10 afford. 1t has been said that
Sunday Schools cannot exist without
these excursions. Pot aside the unnec-

schools as to point Of numbers and a
hook bAited with excursions, dc, will
not be needed. Excursions, picnics,
treats, and such like, are all very we'll,
but Of late there seems TO be tenfold more
interest manifested in regard TO these
entertainments than there Is in the Scrip
ture lessons. So smart are some OF the
youth Of the present age that they man.
age 10 have their uames enrolled on all
the Sunday School books in the commu.
nifty. After getting their tickets punched
at one school they succeed in slipping
out and drop in on the next. Practicing
this operation for few Sunday morn
ings they become members Of two or
more schools, and wherefore? The en-
tertainments given by the schools are
seldom all on the same day; therefore
the young hopeiuls are on hands at ~
many entertainments as there are In the
community.
