Mrs. c. A Musselman should be given
credit for the work that she did in

in the city of Prof. Smith. Miss Hazel
rigg had excellent success in training
the big chorus of 200 voices. Ralph

Serve Canned Lessons.
Too many Sunday school teachers
served canned lessons according to
Miss Meme Brockway, of Philadel-
phia, who spoke today at the elemen-
tary school in the First Presbyterian
church.
Some teachers think the only prep
Iaration needed is quarterly said
Miss Brockway. '9They would only
need a can opener to keep house!
They serve Canned lessons not fresh
with the milk of the Word.
How many teachers try TO give
many truths instead of one? How
many prefer hash to beefsteak?

the imagination of the child, and your
simple lines, your crude work, is
TRANSPORTED, glorified.
