SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARY.
Some of the Books II Should Include
and Why.

Miss Grace w. Vandiver, Elementary
Superintendent of the South Carroll
ma Sunday School association, before
the York County convention.
IT is as Impossible for a gardener
to have straight rows and thrifty
plants as a Sunday school teacher 10
do his best work without a library.
And by books which help the teacher
we do not mean entirely, lesson helps
that will do all his thinking for him,
but a working library that Will heip
him to dig deep into the treasurehold
of the Bible, ever bringing up new
truths, not only for his own enrich
ment, but for that of his class.
And we do not mean that this work.
ing library must consist Of many
shelves we'll filled. Those that are ab-
solutely essential can perhaps be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
First, a Commentary OF the BLDG,
good Bible Dictionary, full enough 10
hold something Of biography, Life or
Christ, a book on Old Testament his
torv a book on Teaching, and If an
elementary teacher, a book on Child
Study. I believe 1t Is c. c. Meigs that has
said God never called man or wo-
man to the teaching-ministry that did
not have time to prepare for 1t. And
there are only two ways Of preparing
for It. First, by life-giving, mind
stirring, soul refreshing contact with
God and, second, the study of His
word by the very best means at our
command. In this day Of worldwide
Sunday school prominence and power
there is help for the teacher who
seeks 1t on every hand. Books well
written and prayerfully planned max
ing a clear, clean, upward pathway
for the teacher who Is willing to
learn.
So 1t should be the ambition Of every
teacher to secure besides this working
library which Is necessary, a larger
one Of books that will help him to
be the full man" that Bacon tells us
much reading makes Books that
will invigorate his mind and enrich
his heart, help him to be a better
teacher, a better friend and above all
richer Christian character. Time
was when books were out Of the reach
of any except the rich. 1t is told that
In the tenth century the Countess OF
Anjou gave 200 sheep, one load OF
wheat, one load of rye and one load
of millet for q volume Of sermons by
German monk. We have Travelled
far since then and now new printing
presses have multiplied the masters,
and books can be had for pittance.
There should also be teachers IL
brary in each Sunday school, connect
ed with but separate from the pu-
pills. library, containing books on the
Bible, on psychology, pedagogy, and
all subjects related to Sunday school
work.
Such books as Gregory's Seven
Laws of Teaching, DR.. Bois' Point OF
Contact in Teaching, Trumbull's Teach
ing and Teachers, Lawrence's How to
Conduct a Sunday School, Lame
reaux's Unfolding Life, Harrison's
Study of Child Nature, and others
equally good.

following officers were elected: Pres
ident, vice president, secretary and
treasurer, teacher and assistant teach
er. At a subsequent meeting the fol-
lowing committees were appointed:
Programme committee, membership
committee and social committee. This
completed the organization and since
that time, six weeks ago, the class has
increased to fifty-five. This organiz-
ed class Is already felt. 1t gives pow
er, strength and dignity to our school.
We feel that, like the Elder Brother,
1t shields us from the world, and that
the Sabbath school is no longer a
child's affair and that Bible study is
not beneath strong men and women.
The Organized Adult Bible Glass
settles the large boy and girl problem.
The missing link In the school be-
tween Is and 20 Is no more. For
lack Of example Of parents the large
boy and girl drop out, when they get
too big for Sabbath school, and are
often forever lost to the school.
Should they return after having miss
ed the training and experience Of five
would be like a boy prepared for col
lege, but drops out Of school, skip
ping the four-year college course, then
stepping up and asking for a position
as professor in a university. No, he
would not desire this, neither would
he be desired In the field of letters, or
like a soldier serving as private for
a few years, then resigning, and years
after expecting generalship. No, he
would not expect this, neither would
he be At for the office. So in the
Christian life. The most successful
teachers in our school and workers In
81, fIa n,,c1ty foff h
full ones. No missing links. To pre-
vent this parents must organize and
stand by the school, which Is the hope
Of the church, and by their example
and precept keep the boys and girls in
touch with the school Of the Proph
cts. Then we will have no lack Of
good teachers coming on, and plenty
of strong supporters to the church.
Men, you are vested with authority
In the church and state; you are the
heads Of the homes; you are the Of
ficers in the church, and you control
the finances of the world, why then,
should you not be a power for God?
Save your Sabbath school, that
great factor in advancing the church
of Christ. Save your children by your
example. Save yourselves by search
ing the Scriptures in the Bible class.
Jesus said, I'VE shall know the truth
and the truth shall set you free"
Save the world for Jesus.
Deut. vi, 81: And these words,
which I command thee this day, shall
be in thine heart:
And thou shalt teach them diligent-
" to thy children, and shalt talk or
them when thou sittest In thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way,
and when thou liest down, and when
thou risest up.

SUNDAY SCHOOL MISSIONS.
They Are an All Important Feature OF
Effective Work.

Mrs. w. H. Herndon of Yorkville, be-
fore York County Sunday School as
sociation.
In the world today there Is a great
conflict going on between the powers
of darkness and the powers of light.
Christ and his followers on one side
and Satan with his mighty host on the
other. Christ has commanded his FOL
lowers to go forward and claim the
world for Him. Satan opposes this
with his mighty host: So all over this
broad land we have our children gatn-
cred in Sunday schools to train them
to take part in this great work.
There are many ways in which we
can teach them their duty about this
work.
First. we must teach them to love to
read and study the Bible.
Then. in our Sunday school lipra-
ries we should be careful about Sc
lecting the best and most interesting
missionary books Then by the many
beautiful hymns and songs about Je-
sus and His love for sinners. Then
we can teach them to give.
1t Is wonderful what the children
have already done in this way.
Until the beginning of the great
Laymens Movement, in which we all
rejoice, it was one of the chief sources
to which the church looked for finan-
cial assistance.
Then we must teach them to honor
and reverence our missionaries as we
do our ministers. for the works sake.
The best way l can think Of though
is having consecrated teachers VINO
have been baptized by the Holy Spir-
1t; then we may hope to have our
children trained to be mot like driven
cattle, but heroes in the strife"
If all our Sunday schools would
send at least one delegate to some of
our great missionary conferences dur
ing the summer and then the rest of
our leaders and teachers would join
the mission study classes the problem
of missions in the Sunday schools
would be almost solved.
There is still another way We must
live this beautiful Christian life, for
the children must be taught by exam
pie as well as by precept Christ knew
how frail we are, so all through the
Word He admonishes us not to be
weary in this work, and that He will
be with us to the end. We hope from
our own county many boys and girls
will be called to take part in the great
foreign work and we will need just as
many more to stay at home and hold
the ropes.

the Importance of the Sunday school.
1t is a big thing, doing a big work and
needs to be considered in a big way.
The Sunday school army, numbering
25,G1U,n00, has in 1t many OF the
greatest and choicest spirits on earth,
who think it worthy Of the best service
which they can bring to 1t. Not only
is 1t a tremendous organization, claim
ing many Of the noblest of earth, but
il is endeavoring to do the most i'm
portant work that can possibly be
done for mankind. 1t is taking into
it's fold the tender, young children ana
sets for itself the great task of bring
ing them to know Christ by teaching
them the Bible and then to equip
them for the best service which they
can render in the kingdom OF God by
nurturing them in the Christian
graces. Surely this work is second In
sacredness and importance to none
other. How necessary then that he
who stands as teacher at the most
strategic point in the Sunday school
TO accomplish these glorious ends,
shall recognize its Importance and
give to it the best service of which ne
is capable? Yet so many teachers, In
a careless, negligent, slip-shod man
ner are doing this work, which from
every consideration Of its importance
demands the very best effort when
can be put into it. The pastor Is the
available man, more than any one
else, to inspire such teachers to no
bier efforts and to better improve
themselves to perform this very re-
sponsible work. There ought to be
bond of loving sympathy between the
pastor and his teachers, because they
have so much in common. Where
this exists, it will not be difficult for
him TO bring his teachers to realize
the Importance of the work in which
thew are engaged and thus inspire
them to nobler effort, and by so doing
render most valuable assistance In i'm
proving the teaching of his school.
3. The teachers meeting offers a
splendid opportunity to the pastor to
influence the teaching in his school.
Where the pastor can thus come in
contact with his teachers, he has an
opportunity Of acquainting them
with methods of study, not only in

VETERANS REUNITED
AFTER HALE A CENTURY

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 2s.-Two
veterans named Joseph Dunn and VIII
liam Hazleton, who attended the G.. A.
+. e-ncampment here this week. were
the principals in an Interesting reun-
lon after a separation OF nearly so
years. Hall q century or more ago
they were residents OF what then was
considered the wilds OF Minnesota.
They We're fast friends and their hours
out of schoo were spent together.
When war broke out both the youna
men enlisted and were ordered south.
From the day they left their Minnesota
home up to the time OF meeting In this
city they had not seen each other. and
each for years had believed the other
dead. Dunn, who now resides In Sioux
Falls. engaged In a conversation with
a stranger who wore the little button
Of the G. A. r., and the talk soon
fdrifted to war times and finally to
their boyhood days. They had not
talked long Of the boyhood days which
each had spent in Minnesota until
they recognized each other.
The two happy old veterans spent
the remainder Of the day and eve
ming in each others company and each
acted as il he had found the onIy
friend he had ever had. Hazleton now
Is a resident Of Hurley. s.. D., and had
never even dreamed OF the possibility
of his boyhood chum being alive and
well at a point SO close to him.
