The rector desires to urge parents
| to cooperate with him in trying to
maiptain a good Sunday school dur
Ing the 19l5-16 session. The superin-
tendent and the teachers are his help
ers. but the parents must help too.
First, by having their children attend
every Sunday, because regularity and
punctuality is the rule; second, by in
sisting that their children study at
home, because a prepared lesson is
most Important; third, by assisting
financially to help meet the current
expenses of the school, because it is
carried on for the benefit of their chill
dren.
