Special Services In Several of the Local
Churches Tomorrow.
The custom of setting apart some portion of
the entire church services of some Sunday

Sunday school originated with the Methodist
church in 1865, and has grown into such
favor since that its observance has become
general in the churches Of most of the
various religious denominations. 1t is a very
pretty and appropriate concession to the
importance of the Sunday school as the
foundation upon which is built the church.
