The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1905-04-06

convention was to get inspiration, up
lift and learn best methods and get
something of practical value. IN lhS
course of years a straightforward,
plain, business-like method OF con-
Quoting Sunday school work had Deen
carried on in the keystone State
Pennsylvania-and that State is at the
head of all Sunday school working
bodies in the union. Therefore, he
said, when notified yesterday morning
that he should substitute Governor
Glenn, he decided that no subject
could be more beneficial and instruct
ional than the work that is being done
in Pennsylvania and the way 1t is done.
The organization in that State is 1ncor-
porated and it is composed of the State
association, the executive, and the State
Secretary, who is governed by BOARD
of directors This is the central body,
and it's field extends to every county
in the State, with it's workers. To
develop the work, Capitalization is the
first essential. There must be mead
Departmental responsibility must be
strongly marked. There should be
special COMMITTEES governing the var
iouS departments of the work, con-
trolled by an executive committee or
board. These committees have power
over the various courses of Sunday
school teachings, of finance, of sum-
convention. Each committee is sup
plemented by members of subsidiary
organizations, and the general secre-
tary is always ready to offer his as
sistance.
Mr.. w. c. Pearce spoke on ''The
Worldwide Sunday School Move
ment." He reviewed the work of the
Sunday school from its conception and
origin until it's present organization,
as one of the greatest forces in pro-
noting the kingdom of Christ. The
lessons taught weekly in the Sunday
schools of Raleigh are taught every
Sunday by the association in thirty-two
languages and dialects in India, and
they are taught in Mexico England
Asia Italy, Palestine, and other coun-
tries. There are men in North
Carolina, he said, who do not know
this organization is in exist
ence, whereas it was commenced fifty
years ago. Next to organiZa-
ton; cooperation is necessary. He
explained that the association is not
undenominational but interdenomina-
tional, doing together what individual
denominations could not do separately.
1t is not organic unity, but to help,
standby and aid one another. Coop
GRAFTON is economy; there is strength
in it. The movement stands next for
education, for the uplift of the peo-
pie. Last year the national organiza-
ton held 10000 conventions, attended
by over 100000 of people, Five years
before the little indianapolis Sunday
school started this work, a Baptist
Sunday school in North Carolina had
begun it, but the Indianapolis school
was in touch with the outside world,
and the North Carolina school was not,
so Indianapolis got the credit for it,
as the work spread out from that
q fiaI IF Ylr ic
evangelization. The idea is to estab-
lish missions and stations in all parts
of the world.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Sherrills
address the Doxology was sung, after
which Rev. j. c. Leonard, of Lexing
ton. pronounced the benediction.
