A GREAT AND
GOOD CAUSE

their views, they organized the
American Sunday School Union to
establish sabbath schools in rural
communities and to supply the peo-
pile with Bibles and good literature.
1t is interesting to look at the
conditions which existed when the
society commenced its work. The
entire population of our country
was about ten millions. There
were very few Sunday schools out
side of the large cities and large
towns. There was scarcely any in-
teresting and attractive religious
literature published for the young,

not been invented aud there were
no railroads. Chicago was a mere
hamlet. Louisville, Pittsburg and:

ted into the Union.
A wave of infdelity had swept
over the country. Skeptical liter
ature was widely circulated. Many
OF the most prominent statesmen
openly rejected the Bible as Di-
vine revelation.
The mon who established the
American Sunday School Union
had faith in the power of Gods
word and far reaching vision of
the future.
While statistics are interesting
they tell but small portion Of the
society's great work. Figures fail
to measure the moral effect upon
the life of the community. Many
results can not be computed by
arithmetic.
The following will enable us to
grasp some features of the unions
work.
The American Sunday School
Union established, on an average
one hundred new Sunday schools
every month during the century.
These schools commenced their
good work with sn enrolment of
nearly six million scholars and
teachers. Thousands of these
schools have grown rapidly in men,
bers and influence, SO that other
Sunday schools have developed
from them. Many of our schools
have instructed and graduated
class after class of young people
through three generations. Many
thousand churches of various de-
nominations, had their beginning
in the Sunday schools organized by
the society. A conservative esti-
mate places the number of CONVEX
gions which have occurred in union
Sunday schools, during the centu-
ry at more than four millions. A
large number of country boys, who
attended these rural Sunday schools
have become distinguished minis
ters, bishops, statesmen, Govern
ors, college professors, doctors and
business men. No small share of
oil that is noble and good in our
National life, may be traced back
TO the one hundred and twenty
thousand Sunday schools, organ
lied by the American Sunday
School Union.
After all that has been done by
the society and the churches there
is greater need for more Sunday
schools in our rural districts than
ever before. The thousands of new
communities, constantly springing
up in forty-eight States, have out
afr;Dad oil efforts.

United Press War Review

The greatest series of battles in the his
tory Of the world war are being fought to-
day. and practically every Allied nation is
involved.
Progress has been reported on every
active front, with the Americans and the
French advancing OH 4O-miIe front be-
tween Rheims and Verdun, where they at
tackled yesterday.
The British suddenly launched an Of
fensive on wide front west of Cambria
this morning. The Allied offensive front
is now completely lined up from north of
Ypres to east of Moselle, distance of
more than 275 miles, and forms one of the
greatest battle lines in military annals.
The scope of the Allied victories in the
Balkans and Palestine-is growing hourly.
The Bulgarian defeat has become so
that Car Ferdinand's country is
reported today to have offered an armis-
tice. For several days it has been reported
that Bulgaria was on the verge of revolu-
lion.
The Allied forces in Siberia and north
ern and southern Russia are enlarging
their successes day by day.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Sept. 26.-Germany is re-
ported to have prepared a new me-
chanical obstruction to supplement
her waning morale anG manpower.
According to escaped Britishers
and German prisoners, at certain
places in this zone "tank forts" have
been built. They are designed to
meet the ever-increasing menace Of
the allied war chariots. They con
stitute well-embanked and well-placed
gun positions. Their armament in
cludes field guns, trench mortars,
tank rifles and machine guns, design
ed to operate together.
But it will take something better
than "tank forts" to save this line,
if a German under-officer captured
a few days ago tells the truth. His
picture of conditions behind the en-
emy lines is striking.
"The last blow has opened the eyes
of the commonest soldier to the break
up of German military supremacy"
he said.
