Those who have read history arc
familiar with the tribulations of jews

countries in past centuries the Jew
was made target whether he was ii
party to the dispute or not. 1t is SO
now in the twentieth century.
In this land of the free and the
home of the brave it is difficult for
US to realize that such crimes could
be tolerated in the name of civiliza-

of their own speedily spread to other states and to Canada.
 Labor Sunday which will be more generally observed this year than ever before, was first celebrated in 1910. At the preceding convention of the American Federation of Labor. held in Toronto, a resolution was passed which read in part as follows:
 That the Sunday preceding the first Monday in September be officially designated by the. American Federa- ton of Labor as Labor Sunday and that the churches of America be re- quested to devote some part of this day to a presentation of the labor question"
 The father of the Labor Sunday movement, and the man who deserves the greatest share of credit for It's success, is the Rev. Charles Stelzle, of New York. Before entering the min istry he was a machinist in a printing press manufacturing plant in New York, and he retained his card in the Machinists' union after he became g. clergyman. Not only do the ministers of churches in nearly all the industrial centers preach special sermons on Labor Sunday. but many labor leaders are invited to enter the pulpits and deliver discourses on the cause to which they are devoted.

BIRTHDAY OF THE
 SUNDAY SCHOOL

Given favorable weather and a fairly large attendance, it is safe to predict that more than 20,00,009 of the youth of the world will be found at Sunday schools on this Sunday. Youngsters of all the continents, and of all colors and conditions, from the almost naked African savage to the pampered offspring of American null timillionaires and the sons and daush- ters of European monarchs, will be found in this world wide army. Few of them will know that they are ob- serving the birthday of the Sunday school, but such is the fact, for it was on Sunday, Sept. 3, 176O. that tha first Sunday school as we now knoS 1t was held in Gloucester, England.
 Robert Raikes, the editor and pro-
 prietor of the Gloucester Journal, was the father of the idea. The poor chill
 dren of Gloucester, most of whom
 were employed in factories during the
 week, usually spent Sunday playing
 in the filthy streets. The kindly jour
 nalist decided to found Sunday
 school for their benefit, and employed four teachers. to whom he paid shil-
 ing day. The school f1ourished, and
 soon had nearly a hundred pupils, who were instructed in the Bible, and
 also in reading and in catechisms of
 the day. All children were invited to attend, the only requirement being
 that they should have clean faces and
 hands. Originally established in a building in Southgate street, the
 school was later removed to Saint
 Mary de Crypt church, the first church in the world to have a Sundly school. Raikes continued actively engaged in the promotion of his great idea until
 his death in 1911. He lived to see the
 wied extension of the Sunday school
 idea over Great Britain and it's spread to America and the continent. The first Sunday school on this side of the Atlantic was opened in Philadelphia in 1791. According to the latest available statistics, there are now more than 30.o00,00O of Sunday school pupils and teachers in the world. The United States leads with 13.732,s41 scholars
 and 1,520,379 teachers. in 154.2Sl
 schools. The British Isles have 7,5SS,- schools. Germany has almost mill HUI ounutiy SCioot SC4loidiS, d"Ois 5000 schools. Canada, with 10,642 i schols, S5.046 teachers and S53,06j scholars. ranks very high. Australia has 5Ss,614 scholars in 7,752 schools, and India 538,35O pupils in 14,203 schools. Finland has S,351 Sunday schools. with 173.48 scholars. These figures do not include the Catholic Sunday schools, which are attended by about three million. pupils in the United States.
