The growth and development O
Sunday School work in the United
States has become one Of the great
moving forces in the civilization
of the age. The adoption of the
international lesson a quarter Of a
century or more ago was the be.
ginning of prosperity for the Sun.
day School, not only in America,
but throughout the world, and
now 1t is without question the
greatest work the church is doing.
Under the international lesson
system all Sunday Schools study
the same lessons every Sunday
and there is created an interest In
the same common topics. Under
the system six months is spent in
studying lessons from the old tes-
lament and six months from the
new, and every seven years the
entire bible is traversed.

The proposition Of selling the

proposed, 10 meet The bonus re.
quired By the promoters Of the
northwest railroad is hardly to be
considered plausible plan. Nor
would II be altogether fair to
those who own adjacent property.
such property would be made less
valuable for the sale Of the parks
and therefore the owners be made
to suffer out Of proportion to
others. The railroads would
however be Of more Immediate

be soon. There is some question
