t,cu! e,,!1. OF How to Double The
Attendance" The points brought
out by Prof. Cannon were to make
enrolment Of everybody in the dis
trict from the cradle to old age-the
grave. Organize the outside class, )"
the ones who do not belong to any
Sunday School, into a lecture class.
Enlist everybody i: some school re-
gardless of denomination.
Hold pupils in the school after they
enlist. Much depends here on the
teacher who should know: (D Whom
he would teach, (2) What he would
teach, (3) How he would teach.
Miss Cora Holland Of Spartanburg,
one of the State workers, gave an
interesting discussion of "Our Wants
or Their Needs" Miss Holland
showed how Sunday School programs
are often planned from the adult
viewpoint and not from the child.
She made strong plea for the child's
needs and comforts. She stated
that there are 100000 children
in North America under IL years of
age who are receiving no Christian
training.
At the close Of the morning session
a basket dinner was served on the
church ground.
The afternoon session began with
a song service after which the Rev.
S. P. Koon gave a Bible message on
"Power for Victory" Mr.. Koon pre-
sented as his outline: (D We must
have Victory, (2) We must have
Power to be victorious. Christ is the
power. Holy spirit is the medium
through which this power works.
Reports were then given by the
County and District officers.
R. D. Webb, Secretary of the South
Carolina Sunday School Association,
discussed at length "a Victory Sun
day School" He said we should have
ia "Big Victory" for our object. Two
things are important: To get the peo-
pie and to hold them. In order to
have victory in the Sunday School, it
is necessary (1) To have a proper
conception Of Sunday School, (2) To
have progressive minds, (3) There
must be willingness to work. Mr..
Webb gave a chalk talk on getting
people in the Sunday school and
| holding them there. He used in his
blackboard outline these thoughts:
1. Find the people.
| 2. Furnish them with information
and good literature.
3. Fetch them to Sunday school.
4. Feed then-not fool them
by (a) superintendent have a pre-
pared program; (b) teacher being
prepared; (c) using graded lessons.
5. Fasten them-tie them there
by giving them something to do that
they can do.
6. Finish them-put on them the
finishing touches of strong Chris
tian life.
When the Sunday school does the
above things it will be victory Sun
day school.
