SILVER ANNIVERSARY.
To the Pastors, Superintend-
ents, Officers, Teachers and
Friends of the Sunday
Schools of MissOu-
ri, Greeting:

You are most cordially invited to
attend the Silver Anniversary Con-
vention of the Missouri State Sun
day School Association, to be held
at the Pertle Springs Encampment,
August 7, s and 8, 1891.
The object of this convention is
to draw into closer fellowship the
SUNDAY School Workers of MIS-
souri, of every Evangelical denomi-
nation and take broad look over
our State and see what has been
done by all the good workers of all
our churches and Sunday Schools to
reach the four hundred and fifty-six
Thousand children of school age in
Missouri that do not attend any of
the Sunday Schools of all our
churches, and to unite in devisins
the most effective means uniformly
and earnestly through the churches
and Sunday Schools ofevery ienom-
lnation of believers in Christ, as the
Savior of The world. to increase
their efforts to reach this large army
of unsaved children in our State
through their own churches and
Sunday Schools in every community
where no one denomination is strong
enough to organize and support a
Sunday School alone, to encourage
them to unite their efforts in organ
izing Sunday Schools that the
children may all be taught the glad
truths of salvation.
The programme for our Silver
Anniversary has been so arranged
that every worker who attends can
have an opportunity to learn fully
what is being done and to suggest
improved methods in our work.
The Seventh International and
Worlds Second Sunday School
Convention meets in st. Louis in
1893. If we all unite IN earnest
work this year and next, we can
bring Missouri into these two con-
ventions the Leading Sunday School
Commonwealth of the World.
Four years ago Missouri stood 81
in a column OF 80 States; to-day she
stands No. 5 in a column of a
States. -Four years ago only Z
States below her, to-day there are
only 4 States above her. Can any,
one doubt that the united and earn
est efforts of all for two years or
more will enable us to pass the
other four States now leading us?
The position We occupy and the
grand opportunity opened before us
to honor our Master bv reaching
the children with His Truth, and to
honor our State by making her the
leading Sunday School common
wealth Of the world, demand our
best efforts.
Every Pastor, Superintendent,
Officer, Teacher and Friend is cor
daily invited ito come and take
part in this Grand Work.
