President w. G. Abbott in his open
taa address, spoke as follows 1T af-
f1fds me great pleasure to welcome you
rH tonixht We have endeavOred to ar
range for YOU a most profitable evening,
snd We trust that our efforts will not
ha Ia vain. 1t is indeed gratifying to
have So many present with US not only
members of this class but the visitors
- we'll. On such an occasion as this,
We never lose the opportunity to eX-
nrsss our high appreciation of our be-
loved teacher and pastor in his great
rosk 81 organizing this Sunday School
fIieea. and the interest he has mani
tested Ia US. Since Brother Mowbray
he's been here, a new era has dawned
on us as regards our duty to the Sabbath
School. We have been taught that we
AIRS never to old to attend. Prior to this,
fka men more especially than the women
have attended the idea that when we
reach the stage of manhood, it had no
longer become a duty to attend Sunday
School. but today we see the proposition
face to face that it is an imperative
dnty that we as parents and children
should see to it that a proper example
should be set to children, and by our
continuing in the Sabbath School. we
are telling them by our presence thatit /
is Imperative that they should follow
ns. and ii we continue in this work as
u
see the fruits of our efforts. Our chill !
slren viii grow up to manhOod and woman |
hood and take our places in this great /
work and carry it forward with more
honor 20 themselves than we have done. |
and God grant that such may be the
ease
Reverend W. R. Mowbray in his adj
dress. commended the social side of |
20 ~
s man for anything higher whom you
cannot reach socially, and you cannot
get 50 men on a high scale unless you
can reach them and do reach them in
that way." He assured the members
Of the Class that he stood by them in
diFidually as man to man, and appreciat-
ed their interest and influence in the
things that tend toward the higher and
better. In closing DR.. Mowbray re-
marked Il appreciate the privilege
which have in teaching $50 men and
women It is a privilege and very great
privilege. 1t is a responsibility, to be
sure, but / gladly welcome the respon-
siblllty that l may help the class and
those who are minded to be with US to
things that are and will be for our last
be good"
