School Rally conducted by Mr..

workers Mr.. and Mrs. Hutton.
After short song service led by
Mr.. Hutton. Mr.. Virgins gave a
very interesting address along
general lines of Sunday School
work. He stressed the importance
of every member present every
Sunday, with my own Bible, a
studied lesson. an offering for
Christ and a reverent heart. !"
He also stressed the importance
of trained workers in the Sunday

dav School is one of the most
important institutions in the
world and there are very few
trained workers. Mr.. Hutton
gave a short talk to children
present. After a well rendered
song by Mr.. and Mrs. Hutton we
were dismissed and returned TO
our homes. feeling we had en-
joyed a rare treat.
