BY EPISCOPAL|ANS
Synod Devotes Morning Ses-
sion Largely to Sunday
School Work Meeting of
Auxiliary.

The second days session of the
Episcopal Synod opened with holy
communion at 8 o'clock, the Rt. Rev.
Herman Page, DID,, celebrant. Rt.
Rev. Joseph II. johnson, DID, bishop
of Los Angeles, presided over the deli
berations Of the synod Bishop John
son waived his right to speak in favor
of DR.. E. L. Parsons on the outlook
of Religious Education in the Pro-
vince" subject which was treated in
very fine, practical manner given In
adopted.
The Sunday school problem by The
Rev. George +. Yields, of Santa Bar
bara, followed The Sunday school
question is the greatest problem before
the church, which has had the religious
education of the child on it's hands
ever since Christ said suffer little
children to come unto me. said the
speaker. The child is the church's
Oldest problem, 10 centuries old; and
the church is still struggling to solve
It."
The Rev. Mr.. Kemmerer of st. Louis
followed DR.. Yields on the same sub
iect, and further introduced the prop
osition of supplying the Sunday school
with the series of Christian Nurture"
designed to train the youth of the
church.
THE church has sounded note OF
ultimate triumph in deciding to be-
gin with the religious education of the
child said DR.. Kemmerer.
Dr. Shayler of Seattle was the next
speaker reviewing the same subject of
the Sunday school problem. He said
that the Christian nurture series seems
to be the thing that will solve the Sun
day school problem.
The thing to do now is to nurture
and develop the Christian character of
the child in a comprehensive manner
calculated to appeal to the child's I'M
derstanding," he said. The fatherhood
of God is the rational basis on which
to commence the instruction, which,
when compared to the earthly father
love is understood.
"A new day is coming. The church
is understanding the child better, and
he is not to be relegated to the base
bent of the church to study his catech
ism. The church has set itself to meet
the demand for religious need of the
child which an awakened clergy has
instituted, and in generation there
will he no more Sunday school prob
