SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK IN
THE COUNTY.

An organized effort is being made
throughout the county in the interest
of the Sunday Schools. Yesterday
pastors preached and had services
appropriate to the work, and on
Wednesday of this week canvassers
will visit all the families in the coun
ty, if it is possible to obtain Sunday
school statistics and invite all the
people to attend the Sunday schools.
Next Sunday there will be Sunday
School rally, when every church and
school will have special services.
that in this state, where there are
preaching services in almost every
neighborhood, that a large share Of
the people, nearly one half, do not
attend church services at all, and that
a large number Of children never see
the inside Of church or S. S. service.
1t is a condition of affairs which re-
fleets no credit and which ought to be
changed. It is, in many cases more a
matter of neglect or of shiftlessness
on the part of some than an intended
wrong. The people of the county
ought for their own credit and for
the public good to work q great re-
form il this line.
We hope that all who are interest
ed, and all should be, will do the most
that can be done to make the effort
great success il this county. The
same work is done N other states and
can be done here. Come out to church
and attend the Sunday school with
the children. Outside Of the religious
aspect of the matter there are many
reasons why people should have the
advantages and the influences Of the
church and the Sunday school. No
man for the greatest reason should be
ignorant OF the Bible and its teach
ings. The time will come in almost
every life when it win be the most
important book in the. world. Let
the public take an interest in this
very Important matter.

one ever made in modern times by a

inferior to it in civilization. For the
first time in the present century a

Congress man Mccall, who has been
stumping the Pacific slope states Of
California, Oregon and Washington
for Mckinley and sound money, is
confident that the silver sentiment in
these states can be overcome, and
urges that more speakers be sent
there by the republicans. He finds
that the tariff is living issue among
the wool growers who have suffer-
ed SO severely from democratic
legislation, Thoughtful voters on
the Pacific coast are not disposed to
accept the panacea of free silver from
the hands Of Mr.. Bryan when that Of
free trade. which he so loudly recon-
mended, has had an effect so directly
the reverse of beneficial.
Although the seventeen electoral
votes of the Pacific slope states are
not required in order to elect Me-
Kinley, the republicans ought not to
allow them TO go by default; and the
suggestion of Congressman Mccall
should be net by sending ont a few
speakers of national prominence to
champion the gold standard and pro-
lection. It will be remembered that
the California delegation to st. Louis
was enthusiastic in it's support of Nc
Kinley from the start. Probably no
other republican would have run
equally well in any of the three Pa
ciic states.
