The session began at ia o'clock in inc

conducted by Rev. F.. Hez SVEN pastor
Of the Second Baptist Church. The
Strength and Weakness of the Sunday
School was the subject of an address py
Rev. H. 7. Mussellinan of Philad2lphia.
Sunday school secretary of the American
Baptist Publication Society. In his open
ing remarks the speaker called attention
to the fact that from the class OF Pu-

This fact alone. he said. proves that the
church should encourage Sunday school
work.
Purpose of Sunday Schools.
The ultimate purpose OF the Sunday
school" lie said. may be grouped under
four heads. First. we try to INSPIRE the
pupils tn engage i'm what may be termed
personal evangelism More persons are
won for Christ through personal effort
than any amount Of spectacular demon
stration. Secondly. We try to awaken
spirit Of brotherhood among the men in
the Sunday school classes. Labor unions
and other such organizations are imbued
with this spirit. Unless We arouse the
same feeling in the church We will lose
out.
'Thirdy, encourage reform work.
such as the temperance movement Our
last aim is to esta blish system Of train
ing for teachers and workers in the Sun
day school,

The New Place Of the Sunday School,
was the subject of talk by Rev. Harvey
Beauchamp. THE Sunday school, he
said. was first tolerated by the church.
Many years elapsed, and the church found
the Sunday school was important. The
next step was the Incorporation of the
Sunday school into the church. Today
the church places much dependence on

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
PLANS OF HUMANE SOCIETY
OUTLINED BY PRESIDENT.

&. \. Snow. recently elected president
of the Washington Humane Society for
he seventh time. announces that the
policy of the society will be. far as he
can influence it, the same as during the
last six years.
Our efforts should be directed mainly
to the centers of the greatest suffering
and cruelty. he says. These will UNI
doubtedly be found among work animal Is
those whose lives are useful and labOri-
GUS seldom free from fatigue and pain.
Many of them undergo daily vfvisection
from lash and load. from Calling harness.
from insufficient food and bedless stalls.
so conspicuous and transcendent is sui-
fering here that | have not been able
IL agree with some of our members VINO
would have us turn aside from this Cal
vary and cruciiXiOn. ever before our eyes.
To the imagined wrongs Of dogs and eats.
pets of luxury that do not ming and suffer
nothing. But let no one accuse us OF
difference To actual overt cruelty to
dogs and cats or anything endowed with
nerves OF pain.
the records of the society will show
that we have prosecuted for cruelty 10
dogs. cats. rats twhen lacerated in steel
traps. monkeys. fish and fowl. and we
must continue Ia do so. think we
should also interfere to prevent the we'll
meaning but ignorant cruelty of caging
cats and dogs in those prisons called cat
or dog homes.
Animals in Confinement.
1T is economically impossible to make
these animals comfortable in confinement.
They are active. solitary, non-gregarious
carnivora and their worst enemies are
those who would incarcerate them gre
gariously. where the weaker must be
flor il
out means of escape. from the attacks of
the stronger.
Next in importance demanding our
care are such animals are used tor
food-beef cattle. calves. sheep. pigs and
fowls Their suffering is happily of
shorter duration than The suffering IF
beasts of burden but they are shipped
here To- market and frequently over long
distances without food or water. sufocat-
ingly confined in crowded crates or boxes.
Many animals. especially fowls are found
dead on arrival. Others are in an exhaust
ed dl ing condition. But. notWithStand-
ing their pitiful state. some cOnsignees
refuse to give them water for the alleged
economical reason that il will add TO their
weight and interfere with their ready
sale.
I'VE should. individuals and as
society. l think. continue to cooperate,
as far as we may. with those better anu
abier. because specialized organizations.
the board of children's guardians, the
Associated Charities. the Juvenile Court,
and to many church societies that de-
vote themselves especially to the care OF
children,-and through specialism obtain
better results than our society. originally
founded for the prevention of cruelty to
animals. can obtain.
During the past year we have for the
first time been favored by the organized
cooperation of the horse owners, and
take this occasion TO acknowledge, with
tharkfulness. their assistance.
