On Sunday afternoon, March 3, a
fine representation from theEmanuel
Evangelical German M. E. and Ridge
way M. K. Sunday Schools met in,
the Ridgeway church for the purpose
of mutual helpfulness and to organ
ize the Ridgeway District OF the
Sunday School Association. President
Kirschmal called the meeting to or
der at 2:3O. The audience sang
America, and God Bless Our Noble
Men. Inc scripture LESSON was read
by Verla keinnart; Mr.. kirschman
led in prayer and then followed a
paper by Miss Laura Kuntz on the
Importance of the Cradle Roll; a
paper by Miss Augusta Vatthauer on
the subject Oh Missions in the Sunday
School; an address on ''Wnat the
Home Department Is and How to
start it," by Miss Myrtle Schild; a
paper by Miss Clara Kuntz on
Teacher Training" and al address
by Mrs. R. G. Baker on the subject,
Graded Work il the Elementary
Division. Each of these ladies gave
such complete and comprehensive
view of her subject, that there can be
no doubt OF the good accomplished
by each one.
When the checking up with the Dis
trict chart was taken up all the work
ers were delighted to find that a
Cradle Roll" had been introduced
I'm each of the three Sunday Schools,
and after the excellent suggestions
given by Miss Schild there will doubt
less be Home Department" il
every school in the near future.
Miss Vatthauer gave some very prac-
tcal suggestions on the subject OF
Missionary Instruction in the Sunday
School which will doubtless result II
a Missionary superintendent being
elected in each school aid Missionary
instruction at least once a month.
The finely suggestive paper by Clara
kuntz ought to result in a Teachers
Training supt. being elected and some
line of work in training taken up at
once. Mrs. Baker, County Elemen-
tary supt., who has given both uni
form and graded lessons a thorough
test, is unhesitating in her approval
of the Graded Lessons for Elemen-
tary pupils and invited any of those
present to visit her department any
Sunday morning for confirmation OF
her statements. By the way would
it not be helpful if each Sunday
School worker would visit some other
Sunday School within the next three
months. We are sure Mrs. Baker s
department will have some visitors
in the near future.
