His subject was. The importance OF
early training" The perpeiuiiy Of our
civil Institutions depend on the moral
and religious condition of the people
The Sunday School gives an opportunity
for such training that the church must
recognize and seek through this instru-
mentality to bring about moral courage
that will enable the children to DO right.
The word OF God is the text book, and
from that we learn not only what We
ought TO do, but how TO secure the ne
cessary strength to DO right. He urged
the children 10 put in practice the truths
taught in the Sunday School and "dare
to do right"
The president read an interesting let
ter from Mrs. NJ. J. Lambuth of Japan,
giving an account of the school under
the auspices OF the Methodist Sunday
School Society
The superintendent was then intro
duced and addressed the meeting, sub
ject, The Sunday School at Work lie
called attention TO the great work now
being done by the Rosebud and Won
ans Missionary Societies. No doubt
Robert Rsikes, now in Heaven, is sur
prised at the Sunday School work.
The Sunday school is Chrlslianizing
and civilizing the world. In the contest
with error the Sunday school will surely
triumph.
