THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

One Of the biggest things In this big
country of big dollars and big enter
prises-and one Of the best Of the big
things-is the institution known as the
sunday school.
How many officers and teachers,
mostly adults. do you suppose are en-
gagged in the Sunday school enterprise
in this country?
According to the census, an army OF
l.45053J persons teach and otficiate.
And the pupils? When the figures
are quoted they are so large as almost
to stagger belief. These figures are
12.212.D,7.
Spell uut the enumeration-twelve
million tw" hundred and se%enty-twO
thousand six lVdred and ffty-seven!
That is tn ; one of every six of
our entire population. and comprising
those of plastic minds and future pos
sibilitieS. Is en:r;';ged one day In every
seven in studying the Scriptures and
the tenets of the Christian faith
Besides. there is the li.cra ture of the
Sunday schools.
What is known as the International
Sunday School Series. consisting of
the lesson leatlet and lesson comment.
has Il weekly circulation of more than
half Il billion!
This same lesson il printed also in
thousands of newspapers throughout
the country and is esteemed popular
feature. The aggregate circulation OF
the Sunday school literature is beyond
computation.
Measured In dollars?
Well. here Is one institution that
puts the human above the dollar. Yet
the yearly receipts in money will run
up into the millions. II each pupil
were to contribute only penny at
each session the receipts would ex-
ceed S6OOO.OOO. While the figures are
not at hand 1t is believed that the
schools in the United States alone col
lect and p,y out hundred million dol
lars year.
But citizenship is more than dollars.
And these schools are exclusively en-
gagged in making good citizens.
A million and half consecrated
men and women teach more than 49,
OOU.0OO children every Sunday the
great ethical doctrines Of Christianity
Thousands Of future citizens get all
their moral teaching from this source.
II is a big thing. one Of the biggest
Of all modern enterprises.
Do not regard the Sunday school as
an inconsequential factor or neglect 1t
because you may think II Of minor
consequence.
It is big and gOod-and good only.

Smith became one OF the lsadins

mayor OF Davenport. He had q beau
tiful home. . fine private library. en-
tertained Handsomely. and his family
was prominent socially In the western
city
Personally Smith was q suave. court
ly gentleman OF native refinement and
was counted one Of the successful men
OF his state. He was also hOnOred as the
con Of the writer Of our national hymn.
However
A few years ago whispers began to
be heard respecting his financial diff
culties. 1t was some time before an
accounting was demanded. Investiga
tion showed that he was short more
than 100000. He had squandered
trust funds.
On trial Smith was found guilty of
forgery and embezzlement and was
sentenced to eleven years in Fort Mad
ison prison.
That was five years ago.
A few months ago movement was
started for his pardon. Sentiment re-
specting the fathers sacred memory
pleaded for the son. and the pardon
board granted the release.
Last month Samuel F. Smith. aged
sevcnty-three, but still courtly. started
back to the old home In Massachusetts
where his wife and daughter awaited
him.
He died on the way.
Let us be glad that the son of the
author of "sweet freedoms song" did
not die in prison cell.
1t was pathetic enough that the hon
orcd name of Samuel F. Smith should
have been smirched by the crimes OF ~
"racolrsS son.
Query:
If the sins Of the fathers be visited
upon the children to the third and
fourth generation, why should not the
virtues of the fathers last for n like
tenure? Is vice stronger than virtue?
No. but
The influences Of environment added
to free moral agency are stronger thar
the influence of heredity. Do the best
you can for your boy. He must wori

PUsH-AND KEEP PUSHING. (.

Did you ever try to get through a
dense throng of people to the speak
ers' stand where you had an engage
ment to speak or sing or officiate!
In the beginning it may have seemed
a near impossibility to get to your
place. but
You began to push gently on the out
skirts of the crowd. You were good
hum0red. but persistent. Little by lit
tie you obtruded yourself wedgelike
into the mass Little by little the peo
pie gave way.
Some might glare at you for your
apparent rndcness and give way grndg
ingly. even complainingy. Others were
pleasant and accommodating.
1t was not sufficient to indicate your
desire to reach the PLATFORM. You

So is getting On in The world
If you would reach the place select

They are in yonr way.
And they are Il multitude.
If you do not push they will no,
bulge IF you merely explain without
pushing you will get nowhere. 1t Is n
case where mere politeness and soft
words will accomplish nothing.
Know thiS-that. however close and
compact the mass may seem. II you
will insist and persist and keep on
gently pushing toward the goal the
crowd will let you through. The crowd
is built that way. 1t is pervious to the
human wcd"c driven by the powerful
maui Of the human will.
DO you want to stay on the outside
and take things easy?
The crowd will let you.
But if you are bound TO get on and
up neither humans nor devils can pre-
vent you.

BABY GIRL CRIED
 AND SCRATCHED
All the Time-Torturing Eczema Covered Her BOdy-COuId Not SIeep-DoCtor Said Sores Would Last for Years-Skin Now Clear
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

q take great pleasure in telling you what a great help it was for me to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for my baby niece. She was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. Her hands were so bad that she could not hold anything; She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. 1 had her under the doc tors care for year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. l took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if l had de, pended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid.
 "I used all the remedies that every body told me about and tortured the child almost to death. Then l saw. in the paper how Cuticura was the thing for irritating skin. l bathed her. with warm water and Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured in three months. Now her skin IS as clear and smooth as it could be. shall recommend the use of Cuticura wherever I see the skin in bad condition. Alice l.. Dowell, 4769 Easton Ave, St. Louis, Mo-, May and 20, 10O7.'
