DOUBLE COUNTS
 SUNDAY SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION IS URGED
COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSO- CLAYTON PLANS ACTIVE
 CAMPAIGN.

An active campaign to double the membership of Sunday schools in Faulkner county is to be undertaken this summer, according to County Or ganizer, G. E. Owen.
 Faulkner county, it is said, has more than doubled in Sunday school attendance with the past three years, and this is doubtless true," says Mr. Owen. "There are twice as many Sunday schools, and the ones that have existed all the time have grown greatly in attendance. A number of them have more than doubled in num- bers. But there is room still for a greater growth. The attendance should double again within the next two years; and it can be made to do so if we will all work to that end. As a means toward accomplishing this re- suit, the County Sunday School Asso- citation would like to organize every township before the county convention in July. The township organization should see that every community in the township has a Sunday school and should encourage the Sunday school of the township to be jealous, active and earnest in their efforts. Any Sunday school or individual in the township interested in this cause may call a meeting of the workers of the Sunday schools of the township or arrange for Sunday school rally in the town ship and invite all Sunday schools of the township to take part. At this meeting the organization of the town ship may be effectel and plans may be outlined for a campaign in the town ship"
 If any experienced Sunday school workers are desired to take a part on the program, such speakers may be se- cured by writing to either c. E. Owen for w. B. Owen, county organizers, at Conway.
