WHY THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
 SHOULD STAY FOR CHURCH

First: The Sunday School is pre- liminary service for the regular preaching service; a preparation to properly hear and enjoy preaching. It serves the place somewhat of the prayer service just proceeding a re-
 vival service. The Sunday school is a part of the Church, indeed very large part, and should not be separ
 ated from the regular service of the Church. The Sunday school pupils who leave the Church before the morning preaching service breaks the morning worship, leaving the work in
 complete. Those who thus leave the Church not only are themselves losers but hinder the accomplishment of what is intended that the Sunday school and the morning service together should accomplish. The two services should be regarded and understood as two branches of orie and the same work.
 Second: The Sunday school pupil who leaves before the regular morn ing service fails to gain the scriptural knowledge that he could otherwise gain. Teachers in many instances open up some part of scriptural truth that the morning sermon will deepen and carry out in the minds of the pupil The teacher may look at the scripture from one angle and the preacher from another, hence, the pu- pil who remains for the morning ser vice has double advantage and a two-fold opportunity to understand.
 Third: Staying for the morning service holds the larger boy or girl in the Sunday school. Two great pro blems for the Sunday school to solve, are, first, to hold the larger boys and girls in the Sunday school and second, to bring the Sunday school boys and girls into the Church. The boy who stays for preaching seldom drops out of the Sunday school, and the one who attends both services regularly is al- most sure to come into the Church. We must look in large measure to the Sunday school to feed the Church. Fourth: The Sunday school work should lead to the preaching of the Gospel as the real power and influence
