There has never been time when
the importance Of Sunday School at

preciated, but it seems to me that
in view Of recent events the import
ance of Sunday School encourage
ment and attendance is emphasized.
We did not desire it; We could not
help it; we have even prayed that it
MIGHT not come but despite all
this we are today walking in the
gathering gloom of lowering war
clouds, and we need to know more
of the teachings Of the Prince Of
Peace and His will concerning us.
Believing implicitly in the great
work now being done in our Sunday
Schools desirous of encouraging ef-

this holy cause and being advised

Association has designated Sunday.

TO THE PEOPLE OF TENNESSEE:

.
No state can truthfully boast OF
true greatness and wealth, unless
that state is great in its moral de-
velopment and rich in the Godliness
of it's people. hence the exacting de.
mand and important duty of every
commonwealth is to bend every eff.
fort and exert every energy to the
thorough establishment Of the great
forces which produce Christian char
acter.
The study Of the Bible Is neces-
sarily sacred duty for the reason
that a knowledge of Gods word is
essential to the development of
Christian character and good citizen
ship.
The Sunday schools of our State
are the strong right arms Of our
churches dealing deadly and effective
blows to the evils that seek to de-
stroy childhood, home, State and
Nation. This being true our Sunday
Schools deserve all praise and en-
couragement and should be attend.
ed by all our people. The child nat
urally follows in the footsteps of
more mature years; therefore, our
men and women should turn their
steps toward the Sunday School, in
order that the children may. there,
learn lessons which will make them
worthy citizens. II the time ever
was when the Sunday School was
but place for children. that time
has passed. for. under the guidance
of the good men and women who are
giving their lives to this noble
cause, there is now place for all
ages, from the "Cradle Roll" for In
fants to the Home Department"
for those unable to attend and duty
calls all to take their place in the
Sunday Schools.
I could wish for no higher -eompli.
ment or greater honor for our peo-
pie than to have 1t said that every.
citizen of the State Is a member OF
the Sunday School. Thousands Of
our children are already on the
highway to ruin because father.

TOO S0ON!
BY Henry Hutchins, NJ. D.

l once had an income of stars,
Owned shares in the soft silvel
moon,
Was poet to Venus and Mars,
And my pulses were set. 10 q tune
l believed, like child, every tale
that was told,
Believed in life's promise. Love
Laurels and Gold,
But scarcely believed l should evel
grow old;
I found out the difference, too soor
too soon!
That is past-I am told, am grim,
I've sold my shares in the moon;
For starlight my eyesight is dim.
And the song of my life is a Groom
For Love is a sorrow that will not
sleep,
And Laurels are thistles the foolish
reap,
And Gold is bauble we cannot
keep,
AS / found from experience. too
soon. too soon!
For the Love / could weep, she is
dead!
She was sweet as the roses OF
June;
This curl, it was cut from her head.
1t is all that is left Of Loves boon,
Whose Joy SO pervaded a part of my
life,
That even its trifes with sweetness
were rife;
But my darling forever was never
my wife
She grew her white pinions too soon,
too soont
The Lanrels. gained me few,
But the berries were poison they
bore:
and they changed in a season or
To thorns ON the forehead that
wore,
For they said that my music. which
promised to be
So grand in the prelude. had chang
ed in it's key,
And the key was minor without
melody,
So they granted me laurels no more :
For the Gold did honestly earn,
Their checks l was driven to take:
But the bank was a shaky concern.
And / spent them for fear 1t would
break.
I lavished my earnings on rich and
on poor,
And the prince and the beggar both
met on my floor,
But when my checks vanished they
went from my door.
And l don't think they'll ever re-
turn!
Now. what is there left me to do?
My being is all out Of tune;
II a change l should chance to pass
thro',
Experience might prove 1t boon;
Might prove that the cruel is really
the kind,
The blast from Deaths valley a rose
scented wind,
al glories which left me
behind
In the days that departed, too soon,
too soon!
