60 TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
By ERNEST o. SELLERS
Director of Sunday School Cour,s
Moody Bible Institute
EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF THE
SUNDAY SCHOOL.

An OUNCE of constructive con.
"A viction is worth a ton of de-
%structive censure. Sunday school
leaders frankly admit that they do
not achieve fully the result of their
patient labor they ought to attain
and all look forward beyond their
winter of discomfort to a gladstone
time Of summer fruitage. Looking
back we see in the Sunday school
movement one of phenomenal rise,
progress and usefulness. Public
schools r far from their leaders,
ideals but denunciatlon does not
produce reform, and great institu-
lions are generally stronger than
we suppose.
A technical knowledge Of the
Bible Is not the end Of Sunday
school work. The building OF char
acter is its Supremacy 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 fix 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 devel.
op the feeling-life in it's know
ing and doing. The Sunday school
of today insists upon promptness
and endeavors to cultivate better
discipline. 1t emphasizes the car
dinal virtues Of obedience and in
dustry. Poor teachers are earnest
ly urged to improve and new teach
ers are as never before being
trained for their task in the Sun
day school. Mere impulse for good.
ness does not guarantee teaching
power; a good teacher is not a
mere r~ote-crammer of pupils.
Pupils are urged to a frank, free
discussion of questions and encou
aged to give expression to their
convictions. No Sunday school
leader of today looks upon the
school as IN end of itself, or even
8 the nursery to other things, but
rather as the drill ground of prep
aration for the battles of life.
There is an air Of business, of &C.
tivity, in the modern Sunday
school; a snap, a vigor that en-
livens every pupil. for children
love activity. Competent men and
women are giving this work wide
study and careful treatment. The
organization and it's results are be-
Ing seriously considered, it's sue
cesses formulated, and it's weak
nesses revealed. There can be no
doubt as to the result when the
best in the human is Joined with
the Divine in exalting childhood
and youth into useful citizenship
in the Kingdom Of God.

REGISTRATION DAY AT HAND.

Every man between the ages of 2l and
80 years, inclusive, to whom this printed
word may appear, is earnestly urged to 60
to the voting places to morrow, Tuesday,
June S, and register under the selective
draft law which was recently enacted by
Congress. Registration is compulsory;
every man between the ages above men
toned must go to the polls and register.
All will be required to register sooner or
later. The only result of failure TO reg
ister at this time will be the embarrass
ment to the government incident to the
work of rounding up the slackers and
also the liability to penalty on the part
the work of the government as light as
possible and in order, also, to avoid the
penalty Of failure, all eligible males
whether citizen or alien, should 60 to
the customary voting places in their re-
spective communities and register In
each community the hours for registra-
tlon are between 7 a. m. and p. m. Go
to the polling places early.
Meanwhile, those who are not eligible
can do their part toward the work by
reminding the careless men of their duty.
II there are any men of your aequain-
lance to the draft keep them in mind
and before 9 p. m. inquire of them if
they have done their duty and registered.
Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters,
sweethearts and all can help the United
States government greatly by commits
sioning themselves as vigilance commit
tees to see to it that all eligible males
are registered. Let's make this as near
ly 100 per cent registration as pos.
sible.
