Carlton R. Ball, Veteran Worker,

Others who came to Washington were
apt 10 drop in at the First Congrega-

church became known as the strangers

CURED the nickname of "a Sunday
school without children and without
homes"
For long time after its organiza

was without any children. being prob.
ably the Cnly Sunday school without

has known.
Mr. Ball. when he became supern-
tendent introduced another feature
which made the Sunday school unique
He stopped the practice of giving
