REPORT ON LESSONS.
A matter that viii prove of great in
terest to the Baptists of the whole south
was the report of the convention lesson
committee concerning the periodicals that
are issued by the Sunday school board
| from Nashville. The report was read by
DR.. E. c. Dargan, chairman of the com
mittee to which it was referred last
year.
The report showed that the committee
held its first meeting in Louisville on
April to 4. 1912, and organized by elect
ing E. c. Dargan chairman and B w.
| Spillrnan, secretary. It was decided to
meet annually in March or April of each
year and in special meetings, when call
ed, for any matter of immediate inn
portance. The committee decided to
work for the present along the following
lines:
/. To study the conditions in the Sun
day school world so far as they affect
Sunday school lesson courses.
z. 10 DSEn ali luN6SllSdllOn Oh the
general subject of lesson courses to dis
cover the best possible lessons for use
in our Sunday schools.
| 3. To examine tentative outlines issued
from time to time by the international
lesson committee for the criticism OF
Sunday school experts and to submit
suggestions in regard to the same, to the
said International lesson committee be-
fore the lessons are finally issued for
use in our schools.
T. To confer with our Sunday school
board regarding any matters about
which they may desire our advice and CO.
operation.
5. To consider the way in which the in
structions in our Sunday schools may be
made to advance our own special inter-
ests as a denomination.
FOR FORTY YEARS.
The committee says:
we have had the international uniform
lessons for 40 years The Baptists have
had an honorable share in making these
lessons and have been greatly Pleased
with the work done by the lesson COM
mittee. We are glad to know that pro-
vision has been made for the lessons
for the remainder of the present cycle
four years more. This assures us that
the policy of the internati onal lesson
committee for the next four years, OF
until 1917, will be satisfactory in every
way to our Baptist people of the south
