PRECEDENT MILLION
Explains Through the Ledger That
He Favors Sunday School Work.

The following letter from President
J. W. Million, OF Hardin College, ex
plains its self:
To the Editor OF the Ledger.
Mexico, Mo-, Jan. 28.-Dear Mr.
White: l Inn under many obligation
to you for sending me the clippings
1t seems that a good many Of our con
temporaries took the Sunday SchooI
convention program for the debate
literally and have been considerably
disturbed over the matter. l received
a two-page letter from Rev. G. A
Buchanan, pastor Of Palmyra church
which was a sort of "Frenzied Fin
ance'' composition. In view OF SO many
well-meaning people taking our debate
topics literally, l take pleasure In TAX
ing advantage of your kind offer to use
part of your valuable space.
The program makers put the par,
Elephants In the debate or the program
without asking their consent. We
therefore were expected to do the best
we ccnld With the subjects as assigned.
| think my topic was assigned to me
as a result of some statistics recently
gathered concerning Sunday School
work in Baptist churches. The statis-
tics gathered show that only about /
in s Of the church membership are en-
rolled during the curse Of a year In
the Sunday School work Of the church,
and that not much more than n In
ten are present on any given Sunday
In the Sunday School. Furthermore,
II we added the somewhat nebulous
home department list to the number
engaged in Sunday School work the
ratio will yet be only about 2 In 5 OF
the members OF the church engaged In
Sunday School work. These figures
suggested to the program makers that
a majority of Baptists were opposed
TO Sunday School work. The COM
mittee went a step further and drew
the conclusion that such being the
case it would be better perhaps to dis
continue Sunday School work. The
committee asked me to advocate this
side of the question. l did SO to the
best of my ability, not for the purpose
of doing the Sunday School any dam
age whatever, but simply as a means
of bringing out into holder relief the
question of the Importance Of the Sum
day School and the fact of the disin-
terestedness of the majority Of the
members of Baptist churches to the
Sunday School, features of the work Of
the church.
J. hope the people who have got the
impression that your humble servant
is opposed to the Sunday School may
be informed that he has all his life
been a Sunday School worker, that he
is now and that he expects to be as
long as there is a place for him in the
Sunday School ranks.
Yours very sincerely,
J. W. MILLION,
President Hardin College.

CHAINED BOOKS OF TO-DAY.
Though Rarely Met With They Are
Still to Be Found in Some
Places.

According to book catalogues
and bibliophiles, chained books arc
rare relics of an early period
throughout the old world, but &C.
cording to human experience with
old book-shops, and with old book
lovers, the chained book of another
kind is still to be encountered,
says the Indianapolis journal.
"When you really want an old
book" said a brouser in second
hand b~ook-shops, "try to buy it, IL
you can, from the clerk in the old
book-shop and not from the pro
prietor. In an old book-shop that
1 know was an old edition of
Pepys' Diary, which | had long ad.
mired and desired. 1t was in a
good old dusty corner and seemed
likely to stay there. One day, read
ing that a new edition of Pepys'
Diary was to come out, 1 made
cheerful haste to buy the the edi.
ton, fearing the new edition might
attract some buyer to these old vol.
umes in the darkest corner Of the
darkest old book-shop.
We'll, sir, when that old scamp
of a bookman learned that l had
come to buy the Pepys' didn't he
go and open the books and nose
into them and hang over them and
finally tell me that he wanted to
look at old Pepys' himself for a
few days-and would send me
word when | could have him. Yes,
sir, he did that. I've been in twice
since and the clerk tells me that
Pepys hasn't come back yet; he is
out at the old bookman's house.
There's a chained book for you.
Pll never see that old Pepys'
Diary again, and l ought to have
bought it from the clerk.
Yesterday | met a nice old
Dutchman whom l know, and he
had a grievance to tell which in.
volved also a chained book.
"'Wot you tink.' he said, Tknow
some goot OF Dutchman an he
have some nice lots o. goot books,
an he say | shall take some nice
goot book home NIT me an read
him, cause ! don't get me so much
educations as doze odder OF Dutch.
mems. Veil, l takes dat nice goot
book home NIT me, an l sits by
mine fire at night, NIT a lamp-an'
dat nice goot book; an here comes
de boy of dat odder old Dutch.
mans an he say l shall send home
right quick by him dat nice goot
book; his fadder say he can't have
dat nice goot book from his house
out all night already. He 'fraid Of
fire in my house. So, I sends back
by de boy de nice goot book of de
odder Dutchman's, an l don't get
me some more educations already
out of dat goot book-no. Aim
dat great, hehT"
