MEXICO SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
They Are Largely Attended and are in
a Prosperous Condition-List Of
the Officers and Teachers.

No city of its size in the State car
boast of larger and more prosperoul
Sunday Schools than can Mexico. Thil
fact speaks even more for a city thar
large church congregations, for many
parents who, themselves, are regular
church goers, do not seem to think
Sunday School of much Importance,
when, in reality, it is far more impor-
tant than any other school, as it pre-
pares the child for the life which has
no end, whereas the common schools
fit the child for a life which rarely ex-
ceeds three score years and ten. Our
Sunday Schools r superintended
by some of our most substantial
business men and the other
officers and teachers, without excep-
ton, r earnest workers, with the best
interest of their schools at heart.
There is no more beautiful work than
teaching the young mind to follow
those paths which lead at last to
eternal Joy, and he or she, who pur-
sues this noble work with earnestness
of purpose, will surely be amply re-
warded by Him, who said "suffer little
children to come unto Me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the Kingdom of
heaven.
