ment.
Early in 1914 the officers of the Ken.
lucky Sunday School Association, at
the suggestion of the General Secre-
tary, decided to designate the first Sun.
day in May as Go-to-Sunday-School
Day and to ask each Sunday School to
observe that day. The Governor of
the State issued proclamation call
inP upon al the people of the State to
attend Sunday School. newspapers
published invitations, posters were put
up over cities and towns, calls were
made; in short, about everybody in
Kentucky must have heard about Co
to-Sunday- Day and received an
invitation or two to attend Sunday
School.
From the beginning the movement
was a success, and it has become an
annual custom of Kentucky Sunday
Schools to have a Go-to-SundaySchoo
Day. This year the call is issued to
every man, woman and child in Ken
lucky, to attend Sunday School and to
enlist for service in the Army of
Christ.
Some of the good results in past
years are an increase in attendance OF
more than one hundred per cent, an in
crease in enrolment of thousands, the
bringing together in cooperative effort
workers of many schools the finding
of hundreds who have become church
members, the enlisting of some of the
most capable and earnest teachers.
The 1918 campaign is expected to
bring these results:
