THE SUNDAY SCHOOL A COM
MINITY ASSET

Did you ever look at the Sunday
School from a business Viewpoint
The Sunday school is in the work
of character building. Anything
making the citizens of a community
better makes it more desirable as a
living place increases property
values.
One of the speakers at the State
Sunday School convention in St.
Louis said. "a Sunday School is as
much community asset as a bank.
Go after the banker to help support
your Sunday schools. The banker
shold support the Sunday schools as
strongly as any other industry in
your county"
From financial viewpoint should
not others help with equal profit?

Keith and Locke were under the goal .
in readiness for the ball. They had
no more than touched the ball and
thrown it than the goal was won.
First half ended 3O-7 in favor of
Mcmillan. The game was the fastest
game ever played on the M. M. A.
floor.
There was nothing that could stop
the championship team. The referee
lost his whistle; he tried in vain to
stop the Mcmillan boys long enough
to find his whistle. The Mcmillan
boys did not stop until they put the
ball in the goal.
This game gave them the champ-
