BIG CHOPS FROM LITTLE FIELDS.
Rev. E. NJ. Ferguson, the General Sec
rotary of the New Jersey Sunday School
Association, then spoke for fifteen min
utes on big Crops From Little Fields"
He said: TT is a mistake to suppose that
the success of "a Sunday school is proper
Tomato to its size. The heaviest crops
are raised from the smallest T6lQS. abul
the farming must be thoroughly done"
He then proceeded to lay down the good
points of Sunday school farming. l. The
fences must be well looked after. The
fields or grades must be separated
adult department, primary department,
etc. 2. Good machines must be provided
comfortable. seats, of a size to fit the
children. blackboards, ~ventilators, etc.
8. Fertilizers must be applied. The teach
ers must have the best les~son-helps,
must confer in teachers meetings and go
to conventions; the scholars should nave
a prize meeting after school. 4.Bugs
must be killed off-inattention, want of
~punctuality, too much time given to pre-
pairing Christmas exercises and inter-
ference of officers with the work of the
classes. 5. The crops must be understood
and looked forward to; the harvest will
depend on the kline of seed sown.
After the offertory the Rev. ]. Clement
French, d. D., spoke on the 'Relation
of Parents to the Teachers and Superin-
tendent of the Sunday School, He
treated the subject in the most practical
way. He said the parents should not be
content to be patrons alone of the sum
day school They should become ac-
quainted with the teachers and superin~
tendent and should assist Them IN every
way possible. They should. above all.
teach the lesson to their children before
sending them to Sunday school,.
The meeting then adjourned until next
election day.
