The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1917-05-11


was the total number reported by the
flying squadron in their campaign
last Sunday morning. The plan for
. visiting these schools had been work
ed up under the auspices of the Sun
day School Union, of which Rev. ].
4. Tunstall, Jr., is president and G.
Phineas Baker is secretary. From
the time 1t was proposed to the sup
erintendents up until it was really exc
cuted, enthusiasm reigned supreme.
The program provided that the work
ers should meet at the Y. M. C.. A.
Building, corner Cedar and Fourth
Avenue, ~, to get their final instruc-
tons. By nine-thirty o'clock six
automobiles, donated by friends, were
there ready for service. Each car
was deliberately decorated with Ameri-
can flag, Sunday School Congress,
!, Metoka and Galeda pennants. Each
committee of the squadron wore arm
bands with a Sunday school Con-
gress penpant pinned on their backs.
AT nine thirty Rev. ]. T. Tunstall the
president OF the Union, invited the en-
I tire committee of workers into the
pariors of the Y. M. C. A., and after
few remarks in which he said all
Things were ready and before going
upon this important mission, he called
upon Rev. j. l.. Harding, the president
OF the Tennessee Baptist State Con-
yention, to offer prayer. DR.. Hard
ing invoked divine blessings upon
the workers and then made an elo-
+ quent appeal that they should put
t forth their best into the work. He
declared the Baptists of the state
were in sympathy with such move
gments and they had already gone
squarely upon record as favoring bet
ter Sunday schools. He assured them
they had his full cooperation and sup
Z port and he spoke for the Conven-
ton. Nashville has never known so
much enthusiasm and interest in the
} sunday School work. You have them
mere from seventeen years of age to
seventy-three. l think" declared DR..
Harding" that DR.. r. H. Boyd, who
is member of one of your teams and
belongs to your squadron, is the old
est active Sunday school worker in
the stafe and it thrills any one to see
him lihe up with boys of seventeen
j to show the worth of the modern Sun
: day school. With a few other pre-
liminary instructions they were off,
each going in their various direc-
ton. The workers had been in
structed in the art of going into a
Sunday school. Each team had the
names and location Of each of the
schools irrespective of denominations,
they were to take them in. The
Sunday School Congress secretary
was asked to carry them through a
brief line of instructions as he had
perhaps participated in more camp.
