The writer has heartily co-operat-
ed in union work in one country
field for more than three years.
Last year his efforts in this line of
work were increased until he Is now
assisting in union work on three
fields. This union Sunday School
work has his full and hearty approx
al. Successful work could not be
done on these fields by any one de-
nomination.
When we come to our little town,
conditions are quite different. Sew.
eral organizations, are found here
each having its own church building.
The only valid excuse for the exis-
tence of these separate organiza
tons is conscientious conviction
on the part of each one that some
important bible truth would Lot be
taught, if it did not teach it. In
each of these churches it'll custom
airy to have one distinctive teach
ing service. In most churches it is
the Sunday School. If truth is of
sufficient importance to justify the
existence of a church, it is of suf-
ticient importance to be taught
The existance of denomnational
literature prepared and published by
UNCONVENTIONAL publishing compan-
les bears witness to the fact that the
several denominations believe that
the proper place to impart their dis
tinctive teaching is in their teach
ing service. A very little observa-
ton reveals to one that this is not
only belief, but also common
practice. All naturally look to their
teachers to give this instruction.
But one cannot impart to another
what he does not clearly understand
himself. Someone must teach the
teachers. There can not be found
"a better place to do this than in the
teacher training class.
In spite of the urgent calls which
have come to DR.. Rolvix Harlan to
