WORK FOR EVERY
DAY NECESSARY
Miss Jockey and Alexander on
Program at Inter- Sunday
School Conference.

THE Organized Glass. Through
the-Week work. THE Secondary
Department and The lnter-Sun-
day school Conference. were the
four 81 bjects of discussion Thurs
day afternoon al the First Presoy-
terrain church
The first discussion. The Or
ranized Glass" was led by John L.
Alexander Of Chicago. True 90 form
Mr.. Alexander succeeded IN max
ing the discussion enjoyable as well
as enlightening and educational.
After defining an organized class
as that in which the members as
sumo responsibility Mr. Alexander
proceeded 20 explain why the or
ganized class was Invariably made
up Of youth.
Germ Of Organization.
THE reason for it, he began. lis
due 20 the fact that adolescence it
self is I'm the life OF a boy or girl
a period OF organization. Youths
are naturally POSSESSED with the
germ OF organization. which un-
Coubtedly accounts for the organized
Sunday school class being made up
OF youth and youth only
Following this Mr. Alexander out
lined a model organized class and
called upon the audience for sug-
lestions which might serve TO make
the class ideal i'm it's organization.
Through the Week Work"
Miss Yockey next spoke on
Through Week Work" She
maintained that unless the teach
ings brought home 10 the individual
az Sunday school showed their eff
feet in the actions and deeds of the
individual throughout the other six
DAYS Of the week the Sunday school
had practically failed i'm its mission.
Her entire talk might, perhaps be
epitOmized in the definition which
she gave Of the ideal Sunday school
IA school which worked not on
sundays but between Sundays.
There was little OF importance
discussed fin the third subject. The
Secondary Division. which was led
Icy Dr. +. w. Grossman. other than
"a model outline given 10y him of
the ideal secondary department.
Walter G. Moore OF Seattle Wash
who spoke on THE Inter sunday
School Conference" maintained
that such conferences were now
necessary 10 the life of the Sun
day school. taking into consideration
that Of late the churches % the
country had strongly advocated a
so-caued "get together movement
not ONLY would such conferences
bring the mem bers of the various
Sunday schools closer together. but
IL would also create wonderful OPP
portunities for forming fellowship
and receiving a traiuiue which we
r1ight use later u our life bon teach
ing in the church
