THE STORY OF THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL DOLLAR.

The result Of the Go-to-Sunday-
School Day has been manifest in a
large increase in permanent member
ship of Sunday School and Church.
AS direct result OF the movement
last year fifty thousand visitors be-
came Sunday School members. Here
are three typical cases
An Old Soldier.
on "Go-to- Sunday School Day" in one
of our Sunday Schools an old man
said, Il am over seventy years old. 1t
has been forty years since was In
Church The man who is now Cover
nor OF Kentucky was my Colonel dur
ing the war always obeyed every
order he issued When my old Colonel
issued the order that everybody must
come to Sunday School today, | had
to obey. Now | am here, what are
you going to do with me?" A Mems
Bible Class was ready for him. Three
weeks later he became member OF
the Church and has lived a consistent
Christian life ever since.
A Young Man.
At another Sunday School, young
man, who had been going with wild
set. was among the visitors on "GO-to-
Sunday-School Day" He became re-
gular member OF the Young Mems
Bible Glass. Soon after he declined
an invitation 10 go on Sunday ex-
cursion where he knew there would be
drinking and gambling, saying, No,
boys, no more OF that for me. have
something SO much better"
A Junior Boy.
For more than year none OF the
family had attended Church or Sunday
School. On "Goto-Sunday School
Day" the children were permitted to
20 and from that day became regular
members. In few weeks the twelve
year-old boy united with the Church.
The mother then sent to the old
Church home for her letter. And now
the father, too, often sits with them
at the Church service.
The Kentucky Sunday School Asso
citation has been busy in many fields

Some Of the visiting ministers have
told some good stories about one an
other during the Laymen's Missionary
Movement convention here. says the
San Diego Union. This is one that
was handed" to Rev. Hugh l.. Burle-
son:
A young couple came into his rooms

In the church and asked him to marry
them. He said II they would wait until
after the service he would give them a
public wedding.
After the benediction he announced:
Now. will those persons wishing to
be married please come forward" II
is recorded in the story that eleven
women and one man answered to the
call.
An onset to that story is one told by
DR.. Alonzo r. Petty Of woman who
was before a Judge asking for q d.
vorce. The Judge leaned over the desk
and said to the woman:

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London. - Twenty five Americans
were on board the cross channel
steamship Sussex which met with dis.
aster from mine or submarine.
Two Americans are known to have
been injured seriously by the ex-
plosion. Miss Elizabeth Baldwin, the
daughter of Prof. J. Mark Baldwin, n
resident of Paris, and an unnamed
young American, are reported to have
been killed and Wilder G. Penfield
of Hudson, Wis. Rhodes scholar at
Oxford University, and George IL.
Crocker Jr, of Fitchburg, Mass, were
injured.
Ambassador Sharp at Paris trans
mitted report from the American
consul at Dieppe saying the Sussex
was torpedoed
Miss Alice Ruiz of Lyons, Colorado,
is one of the survivors of the disaster
Sixty to eighty persons were wound
ed or killed by the explosion. The am
bassador added that the ship had been
towed to Boulogne and 25O persons
landed
There were six Americans among
the seventy survivors of the Sussex,
who reached Dover on a British de.
stroyer. The majority OF the sur.
viyors agree with the opinion of the
French admiralty that the Sussex was
torpcdoed by submarine.
1t is estimated officially that the
loss of life will reach fifty. These
were either killed by the explosion or
drowned when one of the lifeboats
capsized. Two passengers-a man
and woman, both Belgians-die in
a hospital at Dover.
