Who is responsible for the Sun
day ?"-Mrs. Comfort.
Every one likes to see a lively
ly successful Sunday school but ii
is very hard to find people who are

for the success of that school Her

cussiOn.

How the Sunday school may in,
fluence the social life of its memb
ers"-Rev. Fred Comfort.
Every organization creates a So
cial atmosphere for it's members
Different organizations or institutions
have different social atmospheres.
Every individual may find the at
mosphere to his liking. The Sabbath
school should be the center of the
social life and activity and thus hold
each member to the association"
Music by Buckeye Orchestra.
How to increase and maintain a
steady supply of teachers"-PrOf. H.
l.. Morris.
"Th two problms that confront
every superintendent are how to
maintain a steady supply of teachers,
and the leakage of members between
the primary and the adults. If we
constantly suppress the childs ener.
gy instead of directing it we drive
the child from the church probably
never to return. If we suppress their
spiritual life when they want TO work
they will not know how to serve lat.
er. If boys and girls are to be teach
ers there must be a training class"
Cornet solo by Mr.. c. l.. Farmhouse.
"Efficiency"-W j. Howell.
Efficiency, like charity, begins at
home. Our conventions should not
be Just conventions, but we should
pick out the good things and put them
to use. Farmers and commercial men
all over the world are throwing aside
old methods and using new. Thus
we should do in the SABBATH school.
The church and the Sunday school
are q great force but the home is the
greatest force"
Song by Wright school.
Importance of teaching Temper
ance in the Sunday schoor'-W, Il.
HinshaG.
"Intemperance causes more of the
evils in our land than anything else.
If we can get our boys and girls to
leave liquor alone we have accomplish.
ed something. In our graded schools
we teach the effects of alcohol on
the body but are we in our Sunday
schools, teaching its effect on the
soul?'
Mr.. Frank Carpenter also gave a
short talk on Temperance.
Temperance doesi not mean alco-
hol alone. We shohld be total ac-
stainers in. this but aisa~ temperant in
all things" Al IL
