The REPUBLICAN had a friendly call
from its old friend Joseph Wuerzga of
Wing Hill Friday. He informed US he
had sold upward of 500 worth of straw
berries from his patch of less than a half
acre this season, while perhaps $50 worth
decayed on the vines for lack of help in
gathering them. Mr.. Wuerzgs is an ex-
pert in the culture of straw berries and
estimates that he has sold more than
50, 200 worth since he commenced bust
ness in that line, and says there is but one
secret to his success-care and attention.
And we guess that's what wins in all
lines.

love the faithful self-sacrificing
men and women on whose shoulders
the task of doing the work has
fallen. They are public bene-
factors, every one of them, and
much of the credit for the coun-
tvs high moral standing today is
due to their life and their work.
We owe them a debt of gratitude
that we should not be long in
paying When the final day of
reckoning has come, the Father
will count them among his friends.
For the benefit of those who
would be interested in knowing

RECOMMENDATIONS

l. In order to reach and inter
est more men and women in the
Sunday schools, recommend that
we push the Organized Adult Bible
Class Movement with the usual Wig
or this year.
2. l recommend, too, that every
Superintendent in the county he
urged to carefully enroll his pupils
giving date, name, sex and age.
THE age may be omnlitted with
the adult grades) and that each
school keep an accurate record of
the attendance of all regularly en-
rolled pupils.
3. Every public school teacher
in the county owes all of six
months of his time, energy and in
fluence to the district in which
he or she teaches l suggest,
therefore, that in our campaign
this year we make an effort to en-
list these teachers in active Sun
day School work. -.....
4. This is my thirteenth year
as your secretary. During eight
years of this time was constantly
in the county and in touch with
the work at all times; but during
the last five years my work has
doubled up until no man of my
capacity can do it and do It
right l believe and suggest that
1t will be for the good Ct the cause
should the Association select my
successor,
In conclusion, / am glad to report
that we contributed $91.56 to the
State work during the year. Can
we not make it 800 this year?
Lawrence county has the reputa-
ton of having more Sunday schools
and fewer criminals in proportion to
the population than any other coun-
ty in the State If during the 19
years that / have served as your
secretary, l have by my life If
works contributed even 4 little to
the bringing about of such splen.

A further study of the reports
shows that one school has a home
department, four have cradle rolls,
two have weekly teachers meetings,
two observed decision day, and l01
additions to the church were re-
ported. Twenty-seven are Union
Schools, and % continue through
the entire year.
These figures can only be approx
imately correct since the schools
have no system of enrolling, mark
ing attendance, and keeping records:
but they are on the borderland Cf
Truth, and give us a fairly ade-
quate idea of the real con-
ditions.
Just now the Organized Adult 81
BILE Class movement Teacher Train
ing and many other modern i'm
provements are sweeping over the
State with great power, but none
or them has yet come to Lawrence
county. 1t is not because we are
not able to do these things that
are done in SO many other places
but because we are not willing to
make the effort. We are travelling
along in the same old rut, except
1t is growing deeper each year.
So deep are we now that our vision
is obscured and the climbing To-
get out will be difficult, but it
will be exhileratipg.
According to the above report
the above enrolment in the
Sunday Schools in 1908 was 1855
About 22 per cent of these were
under six and over 20 years old
The same year there were 1915 chill
dren Of common school age in
the county. A brief calculation will
reveal the shameful fact that 1880
school children of the county were
out of Sunday school last year
Look at the report and see where
most Of them live.
These 1890 children in the coun
ty who are out of Sunday Scho1i
constitute q part Of our problem
and much of the burden that TN
doubtedly rests heavily on the hear
and conscience Of every truly con
verted man and woman in the coun
ty. The solution of this problem
is with the adults. The children
are aping the men and women
