The Sunday School Convention.

When it is once known that over one
sixth of the entire population OF the
United States are enrolled in the Sunday
Schools of our country, the problem OF
Sunday School organization, equipment
and teaching comes to be national one
The greatness of this fact being realized,
no one can longer be indifferent to what
is being done forthe success OF this work
1t is, therefore, interesting to know that
for nearly forty years an organization
has existed, increasing in size and ntiu-
ence yearly, for the prosecution OF this
work.
More than sixty states, territories and
Canadian provinces are organized, and
are holding district meetings and annual
conventions and conferences to increase
the efficiency and improve the work OF
the schools.
Once in three years all these bodies join
in n trennial International convention,
to which each OF the states ana provinces
send their delegates. Seven such conven =
tions have been held already The eighth
is to be held in Boston, in fremont Tenn
pie, Tune 1926. 1t will be possible, there
fore, for all of New England to come into
closer touch and into personal relation
with this great system of Sunday School
education.
In this convention, legislation affecting
directly one.sixth of the populationotthe
United States and Canada will beenacted
In this particular its legislative function
will have wider scope than the congress
of the United States or the Dominion o
Canada.
New England is honored with this great
convention and will give it a heart,
welcome.
