Mr.. Dietrick's next subject was Keep
ing the Sheep and the Lambs Would
Follow. The big men should all be;
in the Sunday school Every class
should be organized, and each one
have work to keep them there. The
speaker had the audience repeat sew
eral sayings after him, for you re-
member fonr-ffths of what you say,
and only one-fifth of what you hear.
1. It is better to put ten men to
work, than to do ten mems work.
g. Stop doing for them and get
them doing for others.
8. Organize men to work for men,
and boys will organize boys to work
for boys.
4. It is a sin for a class not to be
as large as it can be.
| 5. Every man can be reached if
the right man goes after him, in the
right way.
They are working for more organiz-
ed classes. Let us help them.
