Sunday School Union.
Recognizing the need of supplying
the rural communities with religious
privileges, often denied from lack of
UNCONVENTIONAL concentration and sup
port, great assistance has been given
us by that grand and helpful organiza-
ton known as the American Sunday
School union. With it's missionaries, un-
firing and self-sacrificing, we have
gone hand and hand into these neg
lected corners and communities and in
spired and aided the struggling schools
which they have organized or helped.
1t is also gratifying fact that the best
organized counties show the most and
best schools. May the present harmo-
NOUS cooperation with us of this grand
organization ever continue and we with
them faithfully perform the work, in
our territory. in the upbuilding of
Christian civilization, and the evan
gelization of the world Both organized
upon the same broad basis of unde-
nominationalism as to principles and
work they each stand for the upbuild-
ing of all evangelical churches and
schools. and have the support of min
listers and laymen, Christians and
philanthropists alike.
Applied Christianity.
Let me take this opportunity here
to say word as one, from the ranks
of that large class known as the bust
ness men of this country. Even in
this day Of intense commercialism it
is recognized by many, though they
may have no individual or other spe-
cial interest in Christianity, that it's
applied principles in the character of
lives is the real and only safeguard for
the political and business affairs of
this country
Honesty, integrity and virtue in the
home life are demanded, and sought to
be maintained through legal enact
ment by those even. who sometimes
take occasion to speak sneeringly Of
Sunday school government But these
same citizens, who would have our mu-
nicipal government run on the wide
open plan, principally because of a
mistaken belief, of it's being supposed
commercial advantage, when choosing
their helpers in the counting room, the
store and factory, give preference to
those whose habits of life have brought
them under the influence of the Sun
day school. the young peoples socie-
ties and the church, rather than the
saloon, the slot machine or the Sunday
baseball game.
Not to Legislate.

from him since the civil war beginning
