umn in the Citizen aud tell you some
of my experience while engaged in
he Sunday School work here in
Knott County. Let me say now
that ! am enjoying the work very
much. Because | believe there can
be as much, perhaps more, good done
by planting Sunday Schools in the
districts OF The mountains, than in
any other way. Our hope is in the
future generation aud II We plant
the good seed Of the Word Of God
in the hearts Of the children we may
expect 10 see Christ like men and
women grow from IL. So let me
urge every member Of the b. 4. c.,
if he has not already a Sunday
School in his neighborhood 10 organ
i've one at once. This is the way TO
get the Best. ! have organized six
Sunday Schools in this county and
hope 10 organize several more before
September. My greatest trouble is
to find teachers 10 take up the work
One man is acting as Superintendent
who was never in Sunday School
until he was over fifty years old.
enjoy my work because | know il is
for the good Of the people love, and
one of whom am proud 10 be. In
my travelling through the country |
enjoy being able TO visit many Of the
schools aud see the needs and adyan-
tages Of them. One great need |
find is lack Of necessary books for
the children. hope the members
Of the b. T. c. will urge the parents
10 buy their children books.
| hope 10 hear from many Of you
through Tn CIrlzES and shall expect
TO meet you all at Berea this winter.
! desire your prayers for myself and
the work am trying 10 do.
With best wishes for your success
and happiness, am,
Very Respectfully Yours.

Dear Friends have taught FIVE
weeks in a new district which has a
census enrolment Of 46 pupils.
have enrolled 80 census pupils, six
five years old and two from an adj
joining district. Our average for
the first month was 36. The first
week We had old time backless
benches, but now have two dozen
nice patent desks We also did
without a blackboard Tor three weeks
but have a good one now. had no
trouble getting patrons TO buy the
adopted text books How many Of
the Club Teachers give cards for
spelling and reader classesY do,
the children appreciate them very
much aud they are an incentive 10
better study or at least that is my
experience. Success 30 h. TIC.

Dear B. 7. G.. Members: l wonder
how many Of you have devotional ex-
ercise for fifteen or twenty minutes
every morning for your school before
beginning work.
! am afraid that this is one duty
we owe God, that is neglected
especially by the young teachers who
do not realize how neediul the help
Of God becomes in the school room.
You will he surprised to find out
how little the children know about
the Bible, as their parents are so busy
with their household affairs that
they do not take the time TO read
very much 10 their children.
Our first lesson was Genesis !, aud
now my children can tell al about
the beginning OF the world.
| explain 10 them as | read, then
ask them questions. One little girl
read the chapter after she went home
that night. have also taken up the
study OF Moses end Joseph, and the
children are interested.
We review every morning what is
read the day before and by this
method you can keep the story con.
nected Some may think that after
a while the children would become
tired, but il is not the case in my
school, for every morning the little
ones are very anxious for their Bible
lesson.
think il good plan to take up
one certain study and "Stick to il"
until they have very good idea Of
the subject.
| would be glad to hear from other
club members. Let's exchange ideas,
if | understood Alright that is the
object of the club.
