A Live Sunday School Class.

Elmer E. Carr is jusly proud over the
record of his organized boys class at
the Grace Methodist Sunday school.
The boys, whose ages range from 10 to
-, are branch of the Gideonite society,
and the class started three months ago
with nine members. In the meantime
the class has doubled in membership and
is still growing. They elect officers every
three months and the following are now
in office:
Pres, Warren Emery.
Vice Pres, Curtis Brown.
Sec., Edward Hudson.
Fin. Sec., Ralph Carlton.
Treas, Harry Underwood.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1909-01-20
Librarian, Wendell Cowles.

The boys buy their own books and
have an extra collection every Sunday
aside from the regular school collection.
They started recently to raise money for
bookcase and raised $40 tor this object.
As this was more than was needed it
was voted to use the rest for charity
fund for boys. Thus a fund is started by
these boys that will prove helpful in the
work of the school and the boys have
become deeply interested in the great
work of helping Others as well as them
selves.
