These three deteriorating influences

Sunday School Important.
The chief paper at the morning ses-
sion yesterday was that Of Miss Ger
trude Guam Of st. Thomas on the
subject Of the Sunday school. The
Sunday school is the church Of the
next generation IN the process of pre-
paration. The aim Of the Sunday
school is to instruct the young in re-
lgiious truths with the ultimate end
in view of building character and con-
verting souls to Christ. The Sunday
school has a place-the secular
schools Of the country cannot fulfill
the demand; Religious education in
the schools is impossible.
Teachers Needed.
Teachers are needed for the Sunday
schools. The main qualification is q
desire and willingness to teach. There
should be many volunteers ready to
help guide the younger generations
along the paths Of rectitude.
Churches Should Unite.

Beneficial Features.
Of beneficial work along the lines Of
social work. The organizations meet
IN their own communities on an aver
age once every two weeks. Literary
ana musical programs are carried out,
which serve to give the young people
an opportunity to express themselves
on modern day problems.
The funds raised have In the past
been sent TO foreign missions. It may
be decided at tho present session that
more good would be done by having
the funds used a. basis for the
purchase of community libraries.
