Without ever serving in the navy he

sings:

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK

The Sunday school association drew
a good sized audience at the Baptist
church last night TO hear Mr. Cross
land Of Nashville, Tenn, Mr. Arthur
Fake Of Winona. Miss. and Mrs. r.
r. Brown of Tampa. Mrs. Brown
dwelt on the importance Of getting the
children into the Sunday school and
how To interest them, never losing
sight OF the fact that they were hui
man and subject TO the same Influences
as older people Especially when a
scholar was absent 10 write them a
card showing them how greatly they
were missed from the class. Mr. Fake
spoke on what constituted interest in
the Sunday school and how to awaken
the dormant along lines of attendance
and for that purpose presented a chart
TO illustrate his remarks. He said the
great trouble was in getting the older
people Of the community TO continue
their allegiance 10 the school. When
young people who had been scholars
grew to maturity they forsook the
Sunday school because they had out
grown il and didn't need its fostering
care and influence. When you APP
preached a man, If Of great stature, he
drew himself up TO his full height and
in answer TO your request said he was
a man, but that same individual for
got the teachings Of his Bible which
distinctly said men, women and child
rem were exhorted to attend the teach
ings Of Gods word He also spoke of
the resentment many grown people
show when invited to join the Sunday
school class. Why, we got TO church
and hear the preacher expound the
gospel. Yes, but that is not all of the
church work. The Sunday school be-
ing the nursery of the church is what
most largely supplies the recruits for
the church. The church members
VINO pirate about attending church and
hearing sermons are like the epicure
who attends feasts and barbecues.
They regale the inner man, speak of
the feast and its pleasures, but in turn
do nothing 10 create and prepare for
said feast He then appealed for
workers who would assist this morn
ing in taking a Sunday school census
of Ocala. Quite a number arose and
said they would be at the church at 8
O'Clock to be divided into squads TO go
out and pass over the town and ascer-
tain how many people ,middle-aged,
of both sexes in Ocala did not attend.
Also get their UNCONVENTIONAL applica-
tions and leave them afterwards with
the committee of the respective
churches to go and impress on them
the desirability of such outside the
Sunday school to come in. This fore

The attendance at the Sunday
school meeting Friday afternoon was
quite gratifying. Those who interest
ed the children and teachers were
Arthur Fluke Of Winona, Miss, and
C. +. Grassland of Nashville, Tenn.
They spoke of the Importance of keep
ing the older people in Sunday school
with the children and the necessity OF
each Sunday school knowing what be-
came of the children that dropped
out OF the Sunday school and in case
they moved elsewhere to see that the
pastor at their new homes saw that
these children were gathered into the
Sunday school there. Mrs. Brown of
Tampa, a leader in Sunday school pri-
mary work, was introduced and told
how she was impressed into the Sun
day school work by hearing Miss
Nellie Stevens present the duties and
obligations OF a teacher in Sunday
school work. Miss Spaulding Of De-
Land was also introduced, who said
she was ready at any time to explain
her mission but would have to leave
Ocala this afternoon.
