Big Meeting 1t the Armory and Great
Interest Aroused.
The union Sunday school rally yesterday
afternoon at Armory hall was . grand sue
cess in every way. The Armory was filled
to overlooking with an enthusiastic crowd
of children and adults, numbering about
$500. Nearly oil tho Sunday schools of
the city were represented, and much en-
thusiasm was manifested. The old ia
miliar hymns were sung with spirit. On
the platform at the south end of the
Armory were gathered tho pastors and
superintendents of tho different schools.
The stage was beautifully decorated with
bunting, flags and flowers. with ferns and
moss for a background. An orchestra of
twelve pieces, with q piano and organ, led
the singing and added to tho interest.
The first speaker was Rev. b. D. Sinclair,
Of Calvary Presbyterian church, who
spoke on "The Sunday School a. Path.
finder" The speaker made the point that
the Sunday school reaches out after the
children and seizes all within its reach and
brings them into the church; that through
them it reaches the hearts of tho parents.
The Sunday school of today. he said.
reaches a. never before the adults of the
country.
Rev. E. F. Keever, Of Trinity Lutheran
church. made the next address on "City
Organization" He said that heretofore
there has been too much talk about union
work and not enough action. He consid-
cred the churches of today a. one despite
their separate organization. He said that
rivalry ought to be discouraged; that the
Sunday school superintendents ought to
make a systematic effort to gather in the
wayfarers of this city. since there were
many children on the streets who ought
to be in the Sunday school.
DR.. 8. p. Wilson, of Trinity Methodist
church. spoke on Missionary Enterprise
in the Sunday School," He said that the
church of Christ is and ought to be full of
missionary spirit. since it was the product
OF missionary enterprise. The missionary
spirit should begin in the Sunday school.
1t must not only reach out for men, but it
must try to save women. 1t must not be
content to reach the poor. 1t must find
the rich as well. 1--WE must work." he
said ITO reach all men,"

Seattle Baptist church, took for his sub
ject, 1.-The Sunday School as an Educator"

cation is Christian education.

"The Sunday School Scholar at Home"
