Professor Sanders then went on to
give illustrations of all four methods
and many of the teachers no doubt
greatly profited by the able address.
At 9;15 an address was made by Miss
Mary b. Lord, one of the most earnest
field workers in the state. Miss Lord S
address was a splendid one, her sub
ject being Go Preach My Gospel"
At 3:45 there was a conservation SER
vice, followed by meeting of all the
Sunday school workers present. The
meeting was called to consider a plan
for state organization adopted by the
state executive committee recently.
President Hall of the state Sunday
school organization spoke at length on
the proposed formation of tWenty-four
auXiliaries in the state, each auxiliary
to consist of seven towns and to be I'M
| der the charge of a member of the eX-
ecutive committee of the state organi-
cation. 1t was believed that the work
would be thus localized and provide
more convenient means of communica-

auxiliaries have already been organ

The meeting clearly laid before the
workers the plans of the state organiza-

of the Howard avenue Baptist church

on "a Fixed Purpose Rev. Mr. Cut
ten spoke in part as follows:
"Sadi once said, A purpose without
power is fraud and deceit; and power
without design Is ignorance and mad.
ness Explanation shows the wisdom
of this saying, and every day lived
proves the truth of it.
THE power of Sunday school teach
er can never be questioned. If the
hand that rocks the cradle is the hand
that rules the world the tongue that
teaches the Bible is the tongue that
sways both earth and heaven. A re-
ligious census would undoubtedly show
that the grand majority of persons who
enter the church come in through the
Sunday school door, and the hope of the
world in the next century is the Sunday
school of this world When a Sunday
school teacher thinks of his power he
must sink under the load. There is no
part of life in the civilized world that |
does not feel the power of the Sunday |
school.
THE legislator makes and votes for |
better laws because for few years in |
his life he sat and listened to a Sunday |
school teacher who told him of the law
giver from Galilee, who made laws
which the world will observe long after
Blackstone is forgotten; the physician
handles the little child more gently,
works over him more faithfully and
treats him more skilfully because years
ago his Sunday school teacher told him
of the great physician who loved little
children and yet had skill enough to
heal the leper; the business man re-
fuses to shorten his yard stick or tam
per with his scale because although he
has forgotten the last sermon which he
attended yet he remembers the words
taught to him years ago in Sunday
school 8, What shall it profit man if
he gain the whole world and love his
own sou?' The tired and discouraged
as he labors hard with his
work unapprecated, thinks of the
words of his Sunday school teacher
years ago when she spoke of the car
0enter shop al Galilee, Joseph the car
1enter working therein and the tired
Jesus assisting the lowly Nazareen,
whose whole life work was unappreci-
tied: the blase man of the world who
las accumulated much wealth forgets
himself and his long savings enough to |
emember the words which impressed
