 President Woodrow Wilson's Mes sage to the representatives Of World wide Sunday school Work in couven- ton al Zurich, Switzerland, July I6, 1913:
 The White House, Washington. No study is more important to the child than the study Of the Bible and of the truths which il teaches, and there is no more effective agency for such study than the Sunday School. It certainly is one of the grearest factors in our lives in the building Of charac- ter and the development of moral fibre, for it's influence begins almost as soon as the child Is able to talk and con. tinues throughout life. The Sunday School lesson oi today is the code of morals of tomorrow Too much stten- ton can not be paid the work which the sunday School Is doing.
