served by the annual visit OF Santa
Claus TO the boys and girls. There
are three kinds of gifts; self. service

propriate time TO give gifts OF ser
vice to the boys and girls OF the
Sunday school and Christmas is the
time that the Sunday schools may
carry out the Santa Claus ideas IN
substance and this will bring better
results in the Sunday school work.
Every Sunday school teacher
should emphasize the Easter Sunday

the opening and closing services the
exercises should not interfere with
the teaching OF Inc regular part or
the Sunday school lesson.
Special emphasis should be laid
on the Observance of Mothers Day.
