The phenomenal growth of tile sun
day school OF the Baptist church Is
not only a source OF pride to the
members of that church but to mem
bers of every church in the city, who
are finding in ii an added incentive
! to increase the attendance OF their
own church.
There are number ot reasons
which may be set forth explaining the
the splendid attendance average OF
the Baptist church and having no de-
sire to keep the good yhings unto
himself alone" the genial. successful
pastor gives them out 10 any who
care to follow
Thorough Organization: So there Is
a class for every age. There is the
Cradle Roll in which is enrolled the
names of infants, the Beginners Class
with Z trained teachers awaiting the
little tots every Sunday morning, the
Primary Class with IL teachers the
Juniors, teachers, intermediates.
8 teachers. Seniors, 6 teachers, Adult
Classes, G teachers.
Teachers Training: The majority Of
the teachers hold teachers training
course certificates .semi-annual train
Ing classes are conducted 10 prepare
special students for the work OF teach
ing.
Transportation: A falling down in
the attendance record at an unusually
bad rainy season brought the pastor
face 10 face with the problem OF trans,
porta,ion. He immediately made ar
rangements whereby street car and
Il motor bus We're chartered for use
every Sunday morning. Superintend-
ents OF transportation were appointed

Sunday morning the street car tra-
versng the northwest section OF the
city Is filled 10 capacity with sun
day school goers while In the north
east portion OF the city the mOSor bus,

about the same hour, 9;25 o'clock. AZ

mercial standpoints.
In speaking OF his work DR.. David
son says:
1.-THE churches must reconstruct
their religious program to meet the
needs OF modern life.
Governments have been revolution
lied, likewise politics and business
and social life during the past 10
years, and the church must recognize
this and adapt its program TO meet
the changed conditions or else cease
to exist"
No, there is no mystery concerning
the attendance record OF the Broad
way Baptist church. But there is
plain evidence of directed, forceful
, action.
And, quoting the words of one
who attends perhaps a more clearer
insight can be made into the most
remarkable record ever attained in
the city of Ardmorc, who said
