tlnge gave a brief history OF the Dutch Sunday
school. by which II appears that II autedates the
church itself by year.

formed Church, offshoot. in 1852, OF the old
church, then delivered address on the Sunday
school OF to-day. the causes OF it's decline and tho
remedy. lie said these Dutch churches here were
represented by about six hundred families which
ought To have fifteen hundred children in the sun
day schools but tho church had lost its grip upon
tho children because Of tho lack OF religious in
stTuction and training in the homes.
The home was the unit of society. and the life OF
the child must be shaped there. Catschstical In
structton was sorely needed and a twentieth
century catechism must be written 20 replace the
outgrown work OF the sixteenth century. The Bible
had been taken out OF the schools and the jsls
were now better attended than the Sunday schools.
He inclined to believe that pretty large share
Of the prisoners were rather highly educated too
