Probably no feature of the entire
programme will attract more atten-
ton than that devoted to the extensions
of Sunday school work in our recently
acquired territory. An effort will I'M
doubtedly be made to extend the scope
of the association so as to include
Cuba. the Philippines, Guam AMI Porto
Rico, and to place field workers in all
of these islands. To do this an addi
tional revenue will be required, but il
! is not expected that it will be hard to
raise for such an important purpose as
this is.
