REV MIR. GALATIANS ADDRESS
The reading Of the reports was fol-
a halt nv Rnu
G. w. Callahan, pastor of Burkhead
church. In his introductory he stated
that Wins suon-Saiem audiences were
perhaps the best taught and best
preached to OF any pc pie in this part
of the State. He asked: What will
the coming century demand OF this
one? ?" This question, said the speaker,
addresses itself to all classes OF people,
from the President Of the United
States down.
The proper training and education
OF children was the subject OF the ad
dress. When we look back at what
the old sires accomplished: when we
consider our facilities and advantages
in church and State, our children,
when we are gone, CAP stand up and
say we did not do what we ought;
that we knew our duty but we did it
not.
L.
Callahan, is not Sectarian. 1t takes
in the whole field, male and female.
As parents we cannot afford TO allow
other nations to educate our children.
Said there were too many children
running out on the commons during
Sunday school hours Then, too, there
are TOO many parents who send the ir
children to the Sabbath school who do
not know but their teacher Is a swear
er or drinking man.
The international Sunday school
question is attracting more attention
and is receiving mOIe thought than
ever. 1t is bringing the great public
mind together. You and | are PAL L
aud parcel of this great work
We, as STATE must educate our
our people and we must protect those
who teach. Parents cannot afford to
depend entirely upon the educational
schools for the III Dral and religious
training OF their children. The Sun
day scnuuls aud homes have their
place in this work and the imparting
period is in childhnod.
He said children playing on the
streets and commons during the Sun
day school hours is not very cOmpli-
mentdry to US
Referring To the education OF the
colored people, the speaker said the
whites made mistake when they
did not give the negro 40 acres and d
| mule" However, they are here, have
their influence aud must be cared for
Mr. Callahan closed his pleasing
address by urging II To do their duty
iu teaching the children moral and re
l'giOus truths.
