TO propose . collection for them.
1t was one evening st the close Of tenn

Long Island Episcopalians Strive for Better

Episcopal ministers and laymen OF the Do
cese OF Long Island mot In convention yester-
day in Christ Church. WILLIAMSBURG The
object OF the convention was to secure uniform
service. organization and instruction In all the
Sunday schools Of the diocese and to increase
in them an interest in the missionary and
charitable work OF the Church.
The Rev. DR.. Burgess OF Grace Church pre-
sided. The Rev. DR.. William Miley read a
report on the work OF the Sunday school Com
mission. He drew attention to the fact that
while expansion has been tho rule in business.
In politics and in some depa rtments Of church
activity. the Sunday schools are little larger
than they wero ten years ago.
TOO often" the speaker said. the Church
treats her own organizations as II they were of
alien origin. We allow our missionary organi-
cations. our benevolent and charitable enter
priaes to worry and beg and struggle as IL they
were born outside the Church md were de-
signed by aomS alien power for the purpose of
troubling tho Israel OF God. One OF the most
serious IueAtiohs 10. How shall We give our
boys and girls a thorough. systematic religiouA
education? You will agree with me when |
say that no age ever needed more imperatvoly
than this that its young receive a thoroughly
religious education. We need better teach
ers, better buildings moro time and better
methods"
