The Value Of the Sunday School
to Society.
(By John d. Rockefeller.)


believe that the church will get from
its men and women just what it gives
to them. Everything should be done to
enlist their services in Sunday school
work. Wealthy men, instead of only
giving their wealth to church, Sunday
school and religious work, should give
themselves, and they should do it cheer
fully.
The Sunday school idea is. spreading.
Interest is being awakened all over the
land in the study of the Bible. I am
in hearty accord with the movement
that has started for the establishment
Of chairs Of pedagogy in all our colleges
and universities. l believe it should be
supported by all men.
THE HOPE OF OUR NATION LIES IN THE
CHURCH.
The time is passed when the Sunday
school corps is composed only of a few
young women teachers. While they
have accomplished much and always
will do splendid work, yet it is the duty
of the church to enlist to the fullest ex-
tent the men of the church in the work
of teaching the children a knowledge of
the Bible.
The Sunday school is a religious school
by reason of its origin and single use
to inculcate the knowledge of God. 1t
does not tax the public, uses but one
text book and aids in building up the
character. 1t, however, recognizes the
work of the schools in building up char
acter. In the Bible are directions for
the religious training of the child. 1t
was great loss when the Sunday schools
became almost entirely for the children,
taught by women. excellent as they al
ways are. 1t is the fault of the elders.
YOUNG MEN AND BOYS ESTIMATE SUNDAY
SCHOOL AS THEIR ELDERS DO. IF THEY
SEE THAT THEIR ELDERS CARE NOTHING
FOR 1T, THEY CARE NOTHING FOR 1T.
Too much is expected of the Sunday
school, hampered as it is by the low and
hasty conceptions of its place and posi-
bilities. l fear far less from the inf
deity and skepticism of the times than
from the indifference and incompetence
of church officials upon whom largely
rests the responsibility of the dry church
wells and church machinery rusty from
nonuse.
The twentieth century, with its great
engagements of facilities in universities,
colleges and private schools; with it's
vast expansion in railroads, financial and
general business enterprises, demands
that the universal church calls on all
Christian men to see straight and clearly
the duty before them and to pull to.

tianity.

A STORY FROM INDIANA.

Those people who are so concerned
about the high cost of living and the
prices demanded by socalled Trusts
can read the following with no little in
terest and a considerable amount of in
struction. John l.. Norman, of KNOX,
Republican district chairman for the
Thirteenth Indiana Congressional Dis.
trict, said recently:
We are having few speeches in the
Thirteenth District About all we are
doing up there is to tell one story. and it
seems to do the work better than speeches.
Listen Not long ago farmer in Ne
braska, Bryan's State, went to buggy
dealer to buy buggy. He found one
that suited him and the price was $62.
The farmer happened to remember that
about dozen years ago he had bought
buggy just like it from the same dealer
for 500 and he mentioned the fact. The
dealer went to his books and found this
to be true. But" said the dealer, my
books show that you did not pay cash
for it, because you did not have the
money. You hauled in 500 bushels of
corn and gave it to me for the sos bug
gy. Now, I'll tell you what 1 will do.
III you are willing to bring me now 900
bushels Of corn will give you the $62
buggy, a self.binder worth 1856 and a
walking pillow worth Sl2. In addition
to this | will hand you $40 in money"
The dealer could have carried out the
proposition, too, for corn is worth so
cents bushel now, while at that time it
was worth only II cents.
Abuot the same time that this farmer
was buying buggy for $55 and paying
for it with 500 bushels of corn at L cents

selling spring lambs to the butchers for
So apiece, while full grown sheep were
sold in Ohio for 80 cents head. Now
the Nebraska farmer gets so cents for his
corn and 81 for his lamb, and sheep in
Ohio sell at $3.50 to 81. Not only that

MEMBERS WANT
SHORT SESSION
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, May 31.-Governor
Pardee will arrive from Oakland to-
night, bringing with him the call for
the extra session of the Legislature.
In this call will be specified every sub
ject to be legislated upon at the coming
session. and only such subjects as are
included in this call can be acted upon
Much interest attaches to the con-
tents of this instrument 1t is known
that Governor Pardee will not be bound
absolutely by all the recommendation
of the committee Of forty, and that he
will eliminate some Of the subjects pre-
sented by 1T for inclusion In the call.
What the subjects in the call are in
detail will not be given to the public
until the governors return to his Office
III the capitol tonight.
The call must be attested by Charles
F. Curry, as secretary of state, and it
is presumed that for this reason the
governor has determined to wait until
he reaches this city before making the
exact contents of the proclamation con-
vening the Legislature public.
The sentiment of the Legislators so
far as can be learned Is i'm favor of a
short and economical session, but II is
probable that the sitting may be pro-
longed beyond a fortnight.
