Master Charles Pyke. OF tho Nine
tsouth ward Sunday school sang In n
charming manner, "Angel ever bright
and faif."
Remarks were made by General
Superintendent, George q. Cannon.
Among the items mentioned by him
were tho following: The importance
" all Sunday school literature being
submitted 10 tho Union Beard Tor its
approval before being used 10 the
school; rs where teachers or uuperiu-
tendents 10 various wAtds anJ Stakes
gets cut plans and have their own
ideas published without the
knowledge VI the Uuion Board
there 10 very apt 10 be
conflict and diver,ined methods,
etc. The Union poprd had been estab-
lished rs tho head OF tho Sunday
school work, anu all literature used
should be submitted to II before being
introduced, as a safeguard 10 preserve
union and harmony OF action, aud all
information on Sunday school matters
shoull DO submitted to the board for
official action.
Another important subject, aud one
upon which the Presidency OF tho
Church has given counsel, IL the regu-
lariiy with which our Sunday schools
should be maintained.
IL IL found that Interruptions for ward
or Stake conferences OF other causes
are very Injurious 10 tho growth anu
success OF the Sunday school cause.
and II has been recommended anu
countelod by the brethren that here
after the Sunday schools should be
held without interruption the entire
year.
II has been sugSealcd, II agreeable to
the Stake ptesident aud superinlehd-
eat. that At one OF the sake quarterly
conferences QUO conference he devoted,
or part Of n conference, 10 holding tue
annual sunday school conference.
Where thib ~ done II should DO held
three days, the Stake ana SUNDAY
school authorities dividing the time
evenly between the two conferences.
TINS could be made very interesting
gathering and one Taught with much
gooi. OF course, such conferences
would lie len Tor the united action o.
both. Where tnis plan has boon
adopted, good rcsulls nave followed
anu II gives members Of thu board who
are also OF the Twelve Apostles the
privilege Of being In attendance.
Asa great many inquiries are belng
maze AZ ~ whether Sunday school
teachers should be set apart, tins
speaker stated that while great , M &.
cacy Ia real zed by 40 doing, tho breIu.
Ten are called to such positions 10 act M
