The Sunday School Work.

The Sunday School Work.
Bossier Parish is in the banner class of
parishes in Louisiana. 1t is one of fifteen
which paid it's subscription to the State
association before January l, 1915.
The second quarter, beginning April 1st,
will soon be here. We had twenty eight
Sunday schools represented at our last
convention. l wonder if we cannot have
Sunday school in each neighborhood in
the parish this spring?
We all feel that the Sunday school is a
good thing. Each week it brings us to-
gether as friends and neighbors. We gain
in song; we use tue Bible; or part of it;
it gets us to working and thinking; it is
instructive. 1t brings US closer together
socially, morally, intellectually and spirit
ually Each vicinity has its residents who
would be glad to join in this work. Just
get togerher, organize and get to work.
This will improve the song service, which
is invaluable in each church and commu-
nifty. In so many places there are church
services only once each month. If you
have good, live Sunday school it will be
an inspiration to your pastor. He can soon
tell whethdr you are working in the Sun
day school, or not. The Sunday school in
spires, elevates and saves to the church.
wish Bossier Parish could keep up with
the most live, wide awake parish in the
State during 1915. We can, if we try. We
have done we'll; we can do better. Don't
you think so? Let's try this year.
Did you ever try the Graded Lessons =?
They are recommended by the different
UNCONVENTIONAL boards, as we'll as by the
State association. If you wish to know
more about this work write your denomi-
national publishieg house, or the State
workers, or to the Parish Secretary.
