The American Sunday School Union is
making extensive preparations to cele-
brate the seventy-fifth anniversary of it's
organization. It is to hold in it's homo
city, Philadelphia, a mass meeting which
President Mckinley has promised to at
tend, and to which church workers or
| prominence in all religious bodies are to
be invited. One of the things which it
will celebrate are the organization OF
more than one hundred thousand Sunday
Schools, in which there are above sixty
thousand eachers and almost five mill
lion pupils. Out of these schools have
grown above seven thousand churches,

tributed exceeds 50, 600, 900. And the Union
is more wide awake today than ever
before in its history. and is organizing
on an average almost five new Sunday
Schools for every day in the year.
