What the Kentucky Sunday School
Association Is Doing
1t is creating and keeping alive the
Sunday School spirit among the hills
and along the poorer valleys. in the
remote places where denominational
leaders do not go.
1t is inspiring and provoking all
Sunday Schools to do their very best
work.
1t is stimulating a demand for re-
ligious literature and is thus tre-
mendous factor in the financial sue
cess of the denominational publishing
houses.
1t is giving more temperance pro-
grams and generating more temper
ance fire than any other organization
in the state. Being non-partisan and
non-s sectarian, it is the logical or,
ganization to lead the forces of all
churches in the coming mighty con,
test for statewide prohibition.
1t is bringing the people Of COM
munities together for the consider.
alton of community problems.
1t is forging a Christian fellowship
without which there can be no true
missionary zeal, and for the lack o.
which Europe and Mexico are tori
with hatred and strife.
It Is standing firm for church 10y
atty in the midst Of an age when many
agencies in the garb of religion art
Turing the people away from thu
churches.
It is sounding out clear and stront
the note of evangelism in all its gath
erings, that the Sunday Schools ma!
win all their members for Christ ant
the church.
1t is enlisting and training a grea
army of workers for Christian leader
ship in their communities.
It ia just now facing the most glor
ious task that has ever challenged tn
loyalty of its friends and workers
with an unselfish devotion to caus
than which there Is none worthier
1t is doing all these things ant
more that the open Bible may be car
ried by trained, consecrated teache
to every man, woman and child II
