DOING GOOD WORK
Church With Over so Members
Established Near the Gap.
BUILDING TO BE ERECTED
Good Results of Work Done by Mis-
sionaries of the American Sum
day School Union.
Editor The Journal:

Editor The Journal:
The following is sample of the
good work being done by the
American Sunday School Union:
In September, 1903, missiona-
ry of the Union found the com
munity, south of Sulphur Rock,
known as the Gap neighbour
hood, > without preaching, Sunday
school or church membership. The
missionary planted a Sunday
School, and as it is the custom of
the missionaries Of the Union to
hold evanglistie meetings at neg
Iected places, where they have
planted Sunday schools, the Rev.
{. ". Burks, Of Sloan Springs,
state missionary of the Union,
agreed to help in a ten days meet
ing.
The meeting was held, and the
number of hopeful conversions is
known only to God. 1t is known
that a Methodist Episcopal church
South. with 81 members was or
gained, and that there are quite
a number, if properly looked aft
er, yet to join, and a number to
join elsewhere.
As further result of the meet
ing, a neat, substantial church
house will be built at once.
The missionaries, as they always
do, urged the people to organize
themselves into church, and as
there was not room for two
churches there, to go together,a and
let the majority say what church
should be organized. Fifty-one
persons agreed to 90 into a church
organization. Forty-eight ex-
pressed their preference for the
/ Methodist, and three for the Bap-
list. They all went Methodist.
The missionaries sent for the
Rev. &. II. Newman, pastor of the
Sulphur Rock circuit, and turned
the 81 members over to him. Had
they preferred the Baptist, Pres
byterians, or any other denomina-
ton, the missionaries would have
sent for preacher of the church
chosen by the people.
Why the ffty-one members!
Why Methodist church house?
A little Union Sunday School,
planted by a missionary of the A
merican Sunday School Union.
Back of that, good men, women,
Sunday Schools and churches fur
nished the money to send the mis-
sionary out into the rural districts.
And last, the meeting that follow
ed.
The above is the kind of work
the American Sunday School u
Mon is doing. No selfish motives.
All her work is for the churches.
And surely she should have the
prayers, sympathy and aid of
those she is working for.
