"These few days will do more TO set
Sunday school work forward through
out the world than ten years. ordi-
narily. could do" said a young man
from Great Britain to an American on
the first day OF the great convention.
If these great results are TO be
achieved, t must be done to a great
extent through the 5000 delegates to
the convention. and the press.
As each delegate represented lou
schools. 1000 teachers, 10000 schol-
ars. the readers of this letter can see
at a glance the responsibility OF be-
ing a delegate IL he would carry back
to the Sunday schools he represents
the theme 1.-THE Great Commission
and the reports given at the conyen-
tion from every cline, and from
every part of the world.
Carroll county has 80 Sunday
schools, 800 teachers and 10000 schoi-
ars, but one delegate tothe convention
only.
AS the delegate representing our
yell organized Sunday schools OF the
county. / feel 1t my duty TO lay At our
feet the responsibility for the salvation
of 20 600 Moslem children, to say moth
ing of the other heather children OF
the world. who divided among the
delegates would give at least another
20 1000 TO our county. According 70
these reports, II the Sunday schools
of Carroll county will send two mis-
sionaries to foreign fields mot At the
EXPENSE Of other organized missionary
and benevolent work. our SUNDAY
schools will meet her appofhonmehg
Of the eyangeIIzation Of the children
of the world during this generation.
There are 27.8Ss,479 Sunday school

less than 100000 in all the other

the Sunday school.
The report from Turkey given By
Dr Zwemer says that there Is no
MACE In the Mohammedan religion for
children and the heaven, me Koran
pictures, Is not fit for child.
And there is no place on eafih LOT
a Moslem child, for the Koran teach-
es that the parent Who does not marry
his children before IL years OF age i
responsible for any sin they commit.
Therefore the Mohammedan religion
cuts off early childhood on earth ana
teaches heaven SO foul that no ehlid
should be allowed to hear 1t.
But II the Waterman see the SWORD
come. and blow not the trumpet ana
the people be not warned and the

Then he says Are you a broken
bridge or closed door - Il Is THIS
question that brought me out Of ny
moorfngs. and Is responsible Tor this
letter. You may think you are glad
YOU are not delegate. But Htop
YOU are a delegate at large. and You

a part of the bridge or open door To
carry the message across.
