OUR SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

Their Influence In the Communftv
il New Attractions Constantly Added.
! As moral influence in the communitx
| there is no institution that can compar
with the Sunday school. The personal
face-to-face contact of the young peopl
with Cody men and women who, Sunda,
after Sunday. are found at their post a
teachers, is saving power that reache
much farther in the liyes of our you'll
than ever the teacher themselves know
The influences that go out from thu
various Sunday schools in our town are
felt throughout the community,
Recognizing these mighty forces as the
very life of the church the pastors and
superintendents are eyer on the alert to ex.
tend the borders and open still wider
field to Sunday school workers.
The Forest Presbyterian Sunday school
has library Of which any school might
well be proud. One hundred and thirty
new books were recently added to the
former collection which now number 45O. /.
They were not only carefully but wisely
chosen, and some of our best standard
literature is in the list. The school is
now arranging for a new Singing book,
and fund for that purpose will be raised
tomorrow.
Prof W. B. Tharp is Superintendent Of
the school, and with corps of teachers to
aid him. is working to make it a greater
power than it ever was.
The Bethesda M. E. school has never
known period of greater prosperity
than at present. The veteran Superin-
tendent, "A. @. Cox, never did better Sunday
school work than he is doing now. He
has been the Superintendent of the school
for 35 consecutive years with the single
interim of one year. The constantly in
creasing number in attendance and the zeal
and cooperation of teashers and officers il
proof of his unfailing powers.
There are several movements being put |
forward for the advancement of the school. |
one OF which is the purchase of a piano. |
On last Sunday $120 were pledged by the |
iifferent classes, and committee consist |
ng of Miss Addie Hazard. William Tay |
OF and r. L. Price appointed to negotiate |
or the instrument.
A visit to number of piano firms in
Philadelphia on Thursday, resulted in the
election of very elegant Steinway Piano,
nd If the terms meet with the approval of
ne school he.instrument will soon be
urchased, and together with the Sunday
chool orchestra the music will surpass
nything heretofore attempted.
st. Anne's Sunday school, while numeri-
ally small, has as faithful and jealous
'orkers as are found anywhere. The pas
u, Rev. Joseph Beers and his band of CO.
orkers are always at their post, and their
ork will abide in the church and com.
unity long after they have passed away.
