1--WE recommend the exercise of great
care in selecting Sunday. school
teachers. They should DO men md
women of earnest Christian character
who know and believe tho Bible ma
are APT to teach. We believe that ever .-r
teacher in our schools should he a
follower Of Jesus Christ and membo,
OF tho Methodist Episcopal Church
The literature in many of our SUNDAY.
school Libraries should be carefully *.
amined and all books not suitahie for.
Sunday reading should be removed mi
their places filled with tho latest and
best religious looks. Wo recommend
the establishment of the home dcpart.
ment whenever practicable in con.
nection with the Sunday school. Wa
recommend that Christmas Sunday BIZ
set apart in all our Sunday. for
contribution TO tho Sunday school.
