 Value of the Sunday School.
 Rev. Henry A. Blake of Colchester gave a very interesting discourse on The Value of the Sunday School He said the Sunday school has an impor- tant bearing on the mind of the child In the Sunday school the child is brought into contact with children of his own age and that also has an i'm portant bearing on the character of the child. The social contact has its beginning at an early age. That is when the child forms his idea of life and of the ways of the world. The Sunday school serves to group the children and to minister to them. In coming in contact with the Bible the child comes into contact with religion and the ways of the world in generaly The Sunday school becomes of great value in acquainting the child with the Bible for the Bible reviews the lives and customs of the world for many hundreds of years. The Sunday school serves to produce church mem- bers, and it is of value as a means of consecrating Christian lives.
 In concluding his remarks the speak CT spoke of how the Sunday school brings the children together with their own generation, trains them through the Bible for the future life, and for that which their generation demands of them.
