leaders frankly admit that they do

patient labor they ought to attain
and all look forward beyond their
winter OF discomfort to Q gladstone
time OF summer fruitage. Looking
back we see in the Sunday school
movement one OF phenomenal rise.

seter 10 It's supremeIy significant
task; and to- the solution OF this
task the Sunday school is to bring
not merely organized data, but Is
to seek to arouse all the latent
goodness in the pupil and to N his
habits OF life In doing OF right
things at all times. No intelligent
modern Sunday school worker
seeks merely TO develop the intel
lectual life. but rather to devei-
op the feeling-life in It's know

Pupils are urged to q frank. free

aged to give expression to their

as the nursery to other things. but
rather as the drill ground OF prep

women are giving this work wide
