SOUTH BEND, IND,
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Finds Forest City ION the Map
Interesting Correspondence
What Will The Harvest Be :"

Ihe following letter is kind of
a "conundrum' to the Editor of
the Press, which other people in
Forest City will doubtless share
with US, for the reason that the
(railroad) 'kears" are minus
quantity, as we'll as the Sunday
School. But the "overturning"
process, begun when the original
townsite companies (capitalists)
first chose this spot of the old
Muddy to fight out their jealousies
and rivalries, 30 years ago, is still
in evidence, and it is to be hoped
that the bad seed then sown will
soon be thing of the past, even
as the Russian thistle is now being
supplanted on our grassy slopes
by sweet clover. While we have
not got the more expensive rail-
road cars at our door, for the
South Bend Sunday School to
come to see us, we HAVE PASS
ED the stage coach and the ''cow-
path, by which we are enabled to
visit the Railroad Station either
C&NW or CM&StP- in auto
mobiles to pay our respects to a
real delegation of the South Bend
S. S. wheneyer they will notify us
of their arrival, and give them a
joy-ride on our splendid Red and
Yellow Trail'' which we are sure
they will appreciate.

"Dear Sunday School Superin-
tendent.
II am writing you this letter in
the interest of The Grace Evan
gelical Sunday School. We are
located at the corner Of Lincoln
Way West and Walnut Street in
the northwest part of the city.
'SOur Sunday School is to start
on an imaginary trip beginning
the first Sunday in May. We are
going to visit one city each Sun
day, and Council Bluffs. Iowa,
was the first one ON our map; we
we're there yesterday. We have
divided our school in two sides.
which is divided class against class,
the Mems Bible Class against the
Women's Bible Class, the Young
Mems Glass against the Young
Ladies' Glass, and so on down,
which we think will make the con-
test all the more personal. The
points will be counted as miles and
are given for teachers present
with lesson so prepared as to be
able to teach it from the Bible
without any helps at hand. Bibles
will count so many points in the
hands of teachers or scholars, the
presence of each scholar will count
in points, the largest Offering of
the different classes the same.
New scholars will count in points
and new members secured for
Cradle Roll and Home Department
are to be rewarded likewise
$50 next Sunday we are off for
Forest City, South Dakota, and
we want you superintendent to
meet us at the train about 900 A.
NJ, and take us up to your Sunday
School and this is the way we are
expecting tobe in Forest City. Will
you kindly write US letter telling
us all about your Sunday School
and how to get there, also few
points of interest in your city,
thereby making US feel that we
are really in your city. We are
expecting to read your letter next
Sunday in our Sunday School.
Can YOU imagine how anxious we
are to hear from you. Don't for
get next Sunday, May 14th, is
when we want your letter. Ad-
dress the letter to the winning
side of the Grace Evangelical Sun
dsy School and send it to George
