The South Carolina Sunday School
ASSOCIATION is cooperative effort OF
all denominations to extend and i'm
prove Sunday School work in tho
State. 1t is the only organization
which aims to help every Sunday
school in the State. 1t seeks helpful
cooperation, not union; it's conven-
lions and Institutes discuss methods
OF work. not church doctrines; and 1t
works by way OF suggestion, not by
authority; therefore, it helps many,
It hinders none. It's conventions and
Institutes are free schools of meth
od open to all Sunday school workers.
The leaders in Sunday school thought
,f the various denominations are en-
gagged in this work.
