SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS MEET
MRS. CLARENCE T. BROWN AND
DIR. PADEN TALK.
Urge the Necessity For Organized
Effort In Instructing Little Ones
On Bible Lessons.

The rally Of the Protestant Sunday
school workers at the Y. NJ. c. A. last
evening was well attended, and was
marked by enthusiasm throughout
Helpful talks were given by Mrs Car
ence T. Brown and Dr. Paden, ana elle
coming season, if last nights rally may
be taken as any criterion, is destined
to be very successful.
Mrs. Brown has lately returned from
an extended visit to Chicago. Whlle
there she attended the primary Sunday
school convention, and she brought
hack with her many ideas upon pri-
mary work She impaired these IDEAS
to her co-workers last night Her pTln-
cipal plea was for enthusiasm IN the
work. 1.-THE teaching in the schools
here" Mrs Brown said, is not WnaE
it ought to be. There is too much con-
scfousness of self in the work of the
teachers. They do not throw their
hearts into the work. And they are too
little acquainted with Christ to talk
TO the children about him They lack
svnoDatby. What is most needed is or
ganized effort of teachers and suDerln-
tendents."
DIR. Paden spoke at some length upon
the best way to teach He said that the
best way is by example-tO live the les
sons that are to be impaired to the
young. There should be no delay or
waiting in the work Dr. Paden ex-
pressed it as his belief that the county
Sunday schools are on the eve of the
greatest year they have yet known
The association will hold meetings on
the fourth Monday Of each month
throughout the winter. Robert d.
Quay is president. and Mrs. Giesy is
secretary.
