IN SOCIETY

" VI All -AiiiNAiNof ai V cO uSNu lo ltlt term Sunday school, that we scarcely realize what a boom such an institu- tion is to children in places where Sunday is usually spent in the streets, day to learn much evil and to get no impulse to higher things. To coun- teract these evils, the McAll Mission, or undenominationa Association Gull turelle," works steadily on in France. Recent pen pictures of scenes at its halls, tell us of whole families drawn in at first to listen to the singing, re- malning to learn of Jesus. a name with little meaning to most French work men; of children, who gather several evenings each week in the Mission hall to play games, learn simple les sons, sing, or engage in gymnastic ex- ercises; of older girls, meeting to sew together and listening to readings from the Bible; of the boats still going up and down the canals when the wealth CT permits, to tell their message to the peasants. Everywhere there is the same story. the French workman will gladly take the rospel message. if he feels that the messenger Is really in- terested In him and that all Is freely given. He will help his poorer neigh bors gladly but ne does not want to pay for every visit of the preacher This mission makes steady progress in France and has many warm friends in our own city. The annual meeting will be held this afternoon at p. m. in the United church chapel. Mrs. Perkins, of Philadelphia, treasurer of the Ma tional McAll association of this coun- the work in France.
