SUNDAY SCHOOLS
They Have Important Bear
ing on National Life,
Contends Pearce.

w. c. Pearce. representing the In
ternational Sunday School association,
commended that the Sunday school had
an important bearing on the nation.
There are four elements in the nation
al life that may take growth. First,
its business or its merit. No one is
happy if hungry. So with the Sum
day school o must have the right
kind of material for the Sunday school
workers. Second, moral character.
No one becomes great without train:
ing our people. Il rejoice in the NOR
al training of my country" 1t takes
more than moral character to make
a nation great. Our nation never
could live without the great men as
leaders.
No nation can become great unless
they have great leaders. What our
nation needs is honest men. serious
to the right even though it costs them
their life or position. Do not cease
to support the Christian colleges, the

The Sunday school is a great Chris
tan University. First we should de-
mand for the Sunday school a great
instruction for teaching Christian
ethics for building Christian charac-
equipment. Be az careful in equip
ping the Sunday school as the public
schools. SO the boys and girls may
know God just as willingly as to
know Washington. Demand more
time. We ought to devote an hour
and a half for Sunday school and
adequate leadership. Have men and
women to lead the Sunday schools
who are trained. In order to master
the great work let us be real leaders
and not common leaders in this great
enterprise.

lastly. spiritually. In order to have
spiritual development we must minis

school affords an open door for the

One Solution Of Problem Lies in Fewer Ministers. But

tended that. the rural districts were
over crowded with churches, and that
h ATTEMPT at supporting too many
churches was a wicked waste of Gods
money.
Our idea of talking about rural
petterment seems somewhat anonS-
nous to those Of us who have been
brought up and lived on the farm,
because somehow or other we have
gotten the idea. and l have a 8
ptcion. that we are right in it, that
about the best things that are to be
found anywhere have come from tn ,

how or other we have gotten the idea
that II we want to ind that which is
shallow. we have to go to the great
city. Some of us have had experience

there must he rural problems or we

Got Along Nicely Then.
I'm the time of u youth when
we were living on the farm and at
tending tho little rural church, we did
not hear. anything said about child
psychology. or about methods. but we
did hear a great deal about the me-
cessity of regeneration and of being
bern again. and we got along very
nicely. Of the boys and girls that we
went to Sunday school with, some are

Make MUSIC A
REAL FEATURE
Some Times Considered a
Dessert, i Should be Part
Of the Main Service.

Music should be made a part Of the
main service, and not be considered
as a desert. that point being made
in an. address. onssthe question Of mu-
sic, by Hall and Geibel, this morning.
North Dakota wants to be con-
graduated because she has invited a
little discussion on music. which is not
very often done. l am sorry to say,
by the state Sunday schools. They
want music in the Sunday school. but
1t is often considered as a desert after
a good adinnsrsxtfsyovssdo not want 1t
nice to havss wien music is consid-
cred as part of the worship and
service rather than simply an addition
to the worship and service. then the
uplift which is so much spoken of
that music has pom people will have
it's effect upon the Sunday school in
a larger measu than. it has today.
Let us try to remember, then. to make
music in the Sunday school a part of
the service and not the desert alone.
'"This "a be accomplished in the
small school as we'll as in the larger
one. In the first place. get the best
player possible for the piano or. organ.
Get everyone possible to help sing.
Ask for volunteers. Do not give cause
for jealousy among the pupils. If
they cannot read the music. pick out
familiar pieces. or take others and
practice them at home until they can
be we'll sung. and then sing them at
Sunday school.
ct am glad that we sing a different
style Of song now from what We did
years ago. Many of the old songs
were doleful and sorrowful, while now
we sing CHEEKY. inspiring songs. I
am glad we are singing different
pieces.

that our schools in the city seem to

Churches Overcrowded.
DR.. Walters gave as his opinion sew
oral reasons for the existing condi.
tons in the rural districts: One Ii
that the country and small towns arc
overcrowdsd with churches. Mission
airy money is solicited from churches
in the east to help those in the west,
when those paying are no more, able
to do SO than those receiving the
money. 1t Is a wicked waste Of Gods
money to use 1t in trying to keep up
too many church organizations, when
fewer could do the work as we'll.
Fewer hut Better Ministers.
Another solution of the problem
lies in the ministry. DR.. Walters ad-
vocates fewer ministers, fewer church,
es. and better ministers and betL :,
bigger churches. Pople are not call
ing for or wanting ministers to be
egriculturalists to tell them how to
raise stock or grains. but to preach
the gospel Of Jesus Christ. Leave
and hogs. We are not particular
enough about u ministers. but are
s o anxious to keep our churches
fielled that We take almost anyone,
whether qualified or not.
Superintendent should not be so
anxious to count noses, to keen
churches open when they should be
closed. We should all work together
for the! best possible results and not
for numbers to report.

WORKABLE PLANS
ARE SET FORTH
Mrs. E.. G. Knapp Points to
Methods That Can be EN-
ployed in Small School.

Workable plans for the small Sum
day school were discussed by Mrs. E..
IC. Knapp this morning. and she said
in part: 49,.
1--WE can do things in the small
school If We really want to. The
plans Of the larger schools may have
to be modified, but they can be car
ried on. The biggest men of our
country have received their education
from the small public schools, SO in
the small Sunday schools, ONE Of our
greatest workers can be obtained.
There are W kinds Of small
schools. The small school in the coun-
try with only a small membership,
and the small school of the city where
people are passing the doors.
I'VE a have the interested work
ers in every school. We can have
cradle roll department. with only one
baby on the cradle roll is necessary.
Home Department.
THE people that are not in the
school ought. to receive frequent in
vitations to attend school. Don't in
vite them to attend one Sunday n
If they do not come, and neglect to
visit them again and invite them the
next Sunday. Take the second in
vitation. We have this depart
ment in our smallest school,.
"There should be the same amount
Of thought for the small school as for
the big school. The interest of the
children and the parents should be
considered. Give all members some
thing to do.
Can Grade Small School.
THE small school can be graded as
we'll as the larger school. Have a
definite plan and promotion day so
that when. the children and young
people have taken the work in N
department they shall be, promoted
to the next department. Some Of the
best work of today that is known Of Is
being done in the small schools. In
the small school teacher training
should be adopted, in order to train
more workers. In large schools with
so many. they say, let some n else
do it, Begin early and train for serv-
ice. Fathers and mothers come to
SUNDAY school through the invitation
OF the children. Train the young peo-
pie for service.
Equipment can be found which Is
necessary for the small school. Pro-
vide, screens, provide small chairs.
provide hand work Get a, good sup
ply Of books for the Sunday school
that the workers may have access to
them. BY the use OF THESE tuey may
learn what others are doing for thetp
