AN OBJECT LESSON IN
SUNDAY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Gainesville SUM

The cry among Sunday school work
ers all the time is, allow can we main
tain the attendance? This is really
a burning question. The primary de-
partment is usually crowded, the in
termediate shading off in attendance
in proportion to age, and the adult
department is usually a minus guam
tity. But, fortunately, this condition
does not obtain in all the churches of
the land.
While sitting on his porch and chat
ting pleasantly with Prof. W. H.
Cassels, in Ocala last Wednesday, the
conversation drifted upon Sunday
school work in that city. By the way,
it will be of interest to the many
friends of Prof. Cassels in Gaines
vile to learn that his years work in
the Ocala schools has been specially
successful. a number of citizens re-
ferred to it in highest terms of praise.
Referring to the Baptist church in
| Ocala, Prof. Cassels stated that there
were two large classes of men and
also two of women, the attendance be-
| ing uniformly punctual. There were
some twenty-five or thirty in each of
these classes. In addition TO this there
is very large Baraca class, and also
senior and junior Philathea class.
The attendance in each of these class
es is upwards of twenty-five.
Over at the Methodist church he
said they set out to have a mems
class of seventy-fve, and they sue
ceeded in doing it. A temporary struc-
ture was erected outside the church
lin which to hold this mammoth class
of men. And other activities just as
gratifying are being worked out in
the other departments Of the church
1t was decided by the Sunday school
workers in Ocala that on n certain
Sunday they would make a big pull
altogether in all the churches and see
iif it were possible to secure an at
tendance of 1000 at Sunday school
They succeeded in getting more thar
1,10O. Then they set the stake a
200, and the attendance ran up t.
more than 1900.
There is no difference between. ;
Sunday school and a picture SHOW
when it comes to the matter of at
tendance. People will 90 where the!
find that which interests them, and J
the Sunday school promoters desire
larger attendance they must increas
the interest. They will then be abb
to keep the ''teen" age youngsters an
the adults as well in regular attend
ance.

It is possible that few people have
entirely estimated the atgocity Of the
crime by which Mrs. Eliot and her
daughter lost their lives near Clear
water few nights ago. There is no
telling the agony the two women may
have endured before death ended their
sufferings. People who are severely,
even fatally wounded, often retain
consciousness n long time. If the two
women were not instantly killed, but
only rendered helpless by shots or
blows, it is by no means unlikely that
they suffered the full torture Of burn
ing to death. IF the guilt Of their
murder is ever fastened on any man,
hanging will be too good for him.

An ordinance will be presented for

of an ordinance already existing which
prohibits side doors in pool and billiard

it from the city statutes.
