banker, or professional man!
If he is not good live Superin-
tendent what can you do about it?
Has your Sunday School fallen into
a rut, and if so are you content to
stay there? Did you do things in the
same old way fifty two times each
year, and then wonder why things are
so dull? Or do you occasionally vary
your program, using missionary
story, class song, a new exercise,
something to break the monotony?
If not, how about trying something
of the sort for net Sunday.
What is your Sunday School doing
in the organized class work line?
Have you organized classes in the
Secondary (12 to % years) depart
ment, or in the adult department?
If not, WHY NOT? An organized
class is the same old class plus or
ganization. It is organized for def
mite service. The organized class
does things. 1t is not the teachers
class; it is OUR class. Each one
has an interest in making it the best
class possible. Each member has
some definite part in the work Of the
class, something for which he is res
ponsible.
Organization keeps the class before
the mind of the member seven days
of the week instead of one day. Or
ganization is very important in young
peoples classes, for young people are
bound to do something. If their in.
terests do not center around the Sun
day School they will center around
something that will perhaps mean u
very great deal less in their lives.
Give them something to do. Work
with them instead Of for them. If
your Sunday School has not an or
ganized class see what YOU can do
about it.
What about your Primary Depart
nent? Have you any helps-black-
boards, curtains, separate room,
equipment of any kind? If not.
WHY NOT? No, it does not mat
ter whether it is a town or country
school. One of the very most pro-
gressive Sunday Schools of Ward
County is a country school. Have
the Riddles something attractive to
draw them to Sunday school? Do
the teachers greet them by name and
with smiles? If you are teacher,
do YOU smile? If you are not a
teacher, do YOU greet any of the
boys and girls, and do YOU smile?
DAYS, and how much a smile meant to
days, and hoy much a smile meant to
you? If so, see if you can not re-
construct those days, and recall how
much a bit of recognition means to
little child. Make your school the
very best possible. Make it honey
| place, where people will be glad to
come. Tell others about your Sun
day School. 1t pays to advertise
If a place is interesting to you 1t
will interest others. Advertise your
school and then expect results. Let
your town, your county, your state
know of your school. Send in your
report to your county secretary at
once. Do not make him ask you
half dozen times for it. His time
is lust as important as yours, and he
is using it freely for the Cause. DO
not make him write and write again
| for your report. The address OF
the secretary for Ward County Sun
dav School Association is Burlington
N. D., his name, Fred w. Groninger
Any questions in reference to the
work he will gladly answer. Anything
pertaining to the Secondary Division
or young peoples work will receive
the attention of the Secondary Super
intendent.
Ward county had wonderful rec,
ord along Sunday School lines few
years ago, because our Sunday school,
people all worked together. Can we
not get back to the old familiar foot,
ing now that the war is thing OF
the past and do some splendid work
again-not to advertise our county
but because the work is so well worth
doing? If each one would do his
. share we could do really wonderful
things. Will YOU do your part

KARA A. DICKINSON,
II Secondary Division Superintendent
