To Double Sunday School Attendance.

To double the Sunday school at
tendance the intellect must see the
good to result, the feelings produce
the desire, and both lead to the ne
cessary effort.
The ideal may be realized through
the three great modern Sunday
school movements: Home vista
tion and the organized adult class
and teacher training.
Home visitation is not new. Its
underlying principle-personal work
was taught by Christ and prac-
ticed by Him and the Apostles and
early Christians. Its systematic APP
plication to Sunday school building
was introduced BY Hugh Cork, now
secretary to Marion Lawrence, then
assistant superintendent of the
great Wanamaker Sunday school,
has been an important factor in the
growth of the great modern Sunday
schools.
Arkansas has made modification
of Mr.. Cork's visitation plan. His
card provides for the enrolling of the
names by homes that the school
may seek to enlist each home in
attendance The Arkansas modifi-
cation provides for taking the name
of each member in the home, with
the age in years, church membership
or preference, and Sunday school
attendance or non-attendance, so
that after the visitation each leader
may get a list of those not in attend
ance who would belong in his class
to use in enlisting every member Of
the class in systematic effort to
win the outs to membership.
All Sunday schools of the state are
asked to make visitation to every
home through committees on
Monday, September 25th, 1911; to
hold Sunday school rallies on Sun
day, September oath, and if possible,
prayer services every evening in the
preceding week; and to call the
teachers together Friday evening,
September 20, to get the names of
all who should be won to his class.
Details for the visitation, -prepa-
ration and follow up work will be
given in a midsummer Arkansas
Sunday School Herald.

Good Sense.

The great trouble among American
youth is the lack of application and
thoroughness in what they under
take. Anything that cannot be
learned by superficial study is given
the go-bv for something less tedious.
Study and hard labor are looked
at from a wrong standpoint; and as
consequence the clerkship ranks
are full of unemployed young men,
and the professions are overhowing
with mediocrity, while good me-
chanics find plenty of work at liv-
ing prices. The evil spoken offs SER
iously felt. And those who work
at a trade do it in so loose and care
less manner that they often are
not competent to do the work they
promised to do.

who confuse the only and original simon-pure
pumpkin with Its numerous cousins. Of

Just because the pumpkin belongs to the same

and the common inedible gourds is reason
why anybody should confuse them and
the same thing. Why, the squashes that
