Extension Work

The report OF the Executive Commit
tee of Publication and Sabbath Schoo,
Work TO the Southern Presbyterian As
sembly was characterized with en-
enlargement along different lines
There was decided increase in sales
in the book department during the year
Just closed over those of the previous
year. Figures compiled from the sales
show that in l911-i2 these amounted to
S2o2.046. whereas in 1928 the amount
received from this source was S2l4,0o0,
Carefully compiled figures in this con-
nection show that ten years ago. in
1903, the sales amounted only to S43,-
3ST. giving an increase of $l7O,4l3 in
this decade.
The work of publication of Sabbath
school literature has increased largely
during this decade also, az prior to 1903
not more than three million copies OF
these publications were issued and
during the past year the number reach
cd almost TO the eleven million mark.
During the decade the number of pc
riodiCals issued by the publication de-
partment has increased from eight to
sixteen. The rapid increase OF these
periodicals and the consequent neces-
sity for increasing the editorial staff
has justified the committee in securing
Il special building for the office home
of the editorial force.
During the campaign on evangelism
and stewardship this committee fur
nshcd leaders for four Of the presby
terial conferences held in Virginia, pub
lished large part of the leahet litera-
lure used during the campaign, and
fald The pro rata expense OF the cam
paiEn falling TO the committee.
The extension OF benevolent work
continues. and the demands upon the
committee for donations of Sunday
school literature. tracts, Bibles. libra
ries and song books Increase much
more rapidly than the funds which the
church furnishes for this purpose. The
rule or The Committee OF Publication
and sabbath School Extepsion Is to
grant all properly Endorsed applications
Tor Sunday school literature coming
rom sources having a valid claim upon
me committees donation fund, but this
iund Is not sufficiently large TO allow
the donation of books and other ma
teriai In proportion 30 the applications.
During tho past year the committee
aided about 300 needy Sunday schools
by the donation OF literature, in whole
! or IN part, thus reaching $4,000 young
people enrolled in these schools. The
ccmnTttee also awarded during this
| time SOS copies OF the Bible and 257O
copies OF the New Testament for reel
tation OF the Shorter Catechism by pu-
| Pills In Sunday schools. The total value
OF literature books. tracts, Bibles and
cthcr supplies donated by tho com
mittec during the year was $1,000, an
Increase OF about $500 over the amount
thus donated the year previous.

ANOTHER BLOW.
The AounDays Appeal to Supreme
Court in Vain.

After spending the greater portion
OF the afternoon listening to argu-
ments of attorneys in the MounDay
suit and being compelled to miss the
pail game, Associate Justices West and
Porter Of the supreme court decided
not to interfere in the MounDay re-
ownership troubles and refused to is
sue stay of execution pending final
settlement of the trouble in the
courts
BY refusing to grant the MounDays
a stay, the court Immediately puts in
operation the receivership for the
sugar companies and their assets only
the federal court remains to the
NounDays and their attorneys have
not Indicated where they will next
seek relief from the order of the
Shawnee county district court in ap-
pointing John Marshall as receiver for
the American Sugar Manufacturing &
Refining company and Don A. Noun
Day and L. D. W. MounDay. agents
and representatives of the corporation.
Receiver Marshall made demand on
the MounDays late yesterday for the
assets of the sugar com panies with
which they are associated. In a writ
ten statement, the defendants advised
the receiver that they had in their pos
session none of the assets of the sugar
company and refused to turn over
their personal property.
