An address was then made by Rev. s. H.
Schultz Of Walpack Centre on the need
and needs of Sunday School workers.
A report was received from the school at
Laanna, M. Q. Smith, Superintendent which
has 100 scholars.
Rev. w. r. Neff then spoke ON the topic
assigned. He opened by saying in a plea
SAINT way that his thunder had been stolen
by previous speakers, but hoped II so by
repetition that the ideas would be more
| fOrcibly impressed. Responsibility exists
in all things, and he illustrated by a re-
sponsibility recently taken by himself He
had been impressed with the duties rest
ing on the officers Of the association having
just been elected to one. He thought the
responsibility of being president Of the con-
oil ~
of the United States. Then in a more
serious manner he urged teachers to feel
more responsibility In SnAday school
work. Lessons need preparation. Do not
come before class with no fresh ideas.
Clean from sources other than the school
helps Enter in the lives Of your scholars
and take an interest in them and their
work Study their characters and suit
your teachings to their individual needs.
In that way and only in that way can the
greatest good be accomplished. Last and
most Important OF all Is earnestness and
faithfulness in prayer.
