FAMILIAR LETTER FROM PRES'T
FROST
THE SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL

The other day a gentleman was tell
ing me the histcry of one of the lead
ing men In Chicago. II turned upon
the fact that a certain business man
recognized his talents, and secured
for him his promotion from an in
s. significant clerkship to a place il
which his talents manifested them
selves In large affairs. How did the
man find out he had those talents"
] asked. HE had noticed how well he
had managed a little mission Sun
day school, was the answer.
In hundreds OF districts, now that
the public schools are open, the Sun
day schools will be started, or, II they
are already in operation, they VIII
be strongly reinforced.
Some people say that 1t does not ray
to organize a Sunday school because
1t is pretty sure to run down In the
winter. This does not seem TO me
sensible view OF the matter. Why
should we object to starting a garden
in the spring because we know that
things will be frozen in the winter?
or course 1t is better where Sunday
school can be carried on all yea
round, and we should make strenuous
efforts to do SO. However, i would
start a Sunday school every July,
even IL / knew 1t must close up at
Christmas time. The work one may
do in a Sunday school which lasts
only six months may be worth more
than all the rest he ever does In q
lifetime?
Sunday is certainly a divine institu-
ton. God started it at the beginning
Of the world. and the wisest people
have always been those who most be-
lieve in the proper use of one day for
religion and rest every week. No
doubt there is a great deal of Sabbath
breaking, also. but | believe that Sab
bath keeping is on the increase.
Now Sunday is harder day for
children and young people than for
those who are older. Older people
need rest more than the children, and
enjoy it more. and they have more
things to think about. On the other
hand. the children need a great deal
OF instruction which nobody finds
time to give them through the week.
Sunday school comes in to meet this
situation, and with all its short-com-
ings 1t is one OF the most blessed in
stitutions in the world today.
Any one, who is really in earnest
and loves children and young peo-
pie. can start Sunday school. or help
one which is started already. Fortu-
nately II is not necessary to have an
ideal Sunday school, a Scrub" Sun
day school is a great deal better than
no Sunday school at all. One Of the
Iaost famous Sunday schools in New

York City began in a livery stable.
All that is necessary for a Sunday
school is a teacher and some schol-
airs. One of the greatest Sunday
schools In Chicago was started In
freight car.
But there are in these days a great
many helps for those who start out in
Sunday school work.
The lessons are already laid out by
The International Committee, and you
have only TO write TO Cook at Elgin.
Ill, for Sunday school supplies. which
cost almost nothing.
But the great thing is TO interest
the children and young people, and TO
bring out the support OF the best
people in the neighborhood. This re-
quires tact, diplomacy and winning
efforts. Very often in the school dis
tricts people are afraid OF each other.

The Citizen man had an interest
Ing experience. He was there. as ev-
erybody else, to see and be seen and
enjoy the fun, and so he went the
rounds of the fakirs' stands, just as
he does on Commencement Day. But
he didn't do any business with them.
He was taken for a preacher and the
things had way of closing down or
up when he approached. Now, Of
course. they are mistaken but, IL
they hadn't been, he isn't able to see
why what is good for other people
shouldn't be good for the preacher.
He has been brought up to think
that the preacher ought to have the
best that is going, and in that par
ticular booth were a number of fan
cy canes, some with revolvers attach
ed and some with real greenbacks and
all the reporter was required to do

NEWS Of THE WEEK
The Tariff Bills May Die in Confer
ence.-The Income Tax Amendment
Will Finally Be Ratified.-Our Ex-
port Of Farm Observation-Disclosures
Lose in House of Commons.
NOT READY FOR VETO

The Wool Bill, the Free List Bill
and the Cotton Bill may yet fail to
reach the President and he may be
saved the exercise of the veto power.
The trouble comes over the fact that
the Senate and House passed differ
ent bills and they are now in confer
ence with a view to reconciling their
differences, but 1t is said that the
conferees cannot agree. We do not
know whether this would be a hap
by solution Of the matter, for we
believe the country will sustain the
President in a veto, since, to pass
these measures now would be to re-
pudiate the work of the commission
now at work on these schedules and
make the tariff the paramount issue
in politics again for years to come.
Let the commission report and Con-
gress act upon the data given, thus
revising the tariff scientifically. sche-
dule by schedule, and let 1t not be
party affair. OF course, II they do
not reach the President the same re-
suit will be attained.
THE INCOME TAX
The New York Legislature has voted
favorably on the Income Tax Amend
ment to the Constitution and 1t now
requires only four more states for its
ratification. II the amendment car
ries in New York it is thought that
surely the other four votes can be
found. as New York is the state where
the burden, II there is a burden, will
be felt the heaviest. 1t will possibly
be two more years, however, before
the fate of the amendment is known,
for some of the Legislatures that have
passed upon 1t or that are expected
10 reverse their position will not meet
next year.

tnte was held In the Baptist church
here last week. Prof. Lewis. OF Be

the teachers on the move all the time.
The Institute was we'll attended, al
most every teacher in the county be-
ing present.
Miss Boatright gave examples OF
her work In Berea, teaching small
children. which will be great help TO
the teachers OF the county. The talks
on Home Science by Miss Morrow
should appeal TO every person In Les

use their efforts In conveying these
