SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING

success in numbers and enthusiasm
An organization like the Sunday
| School, comprising as it does two
million teachcrs and fifteen or six
teen million pupils is worthy of
more space than We are able to
| give it. In Prowcrs county we
/ have 1919 pupils in twenty schools
with three schools not reporting.
Sc delegates from ii Sunday Schools
reported at Lamar. of these % came
from Granada and 23 from Holly.
Including visitors there We're nearly
900 in attendance at one or more
sessions of the convention.
DIR. n. r. Stone of Holly spoke
Friday evening on the Greatness
and Glory of God He said that
intellectual and Moral greatness
was impossible in a people who had
n low estimate of God. There is
not only something divine in man
| but something human in God but
| inperfcctly. Human nature best
| reveals God The thought and
| heart of God is revealed only In
| man, but only in Jesus do we have
a perfect revelation of the Father
| IN the creation man was made In
Gods image: in the incarnation God
was made in mans image. There
is no intelligent man in all the
world but who in his heart believes
in God.
DR. r. II. Cantwell spoke on Sat
urday. He said that hard work was
the price Of Sunday School success
as it is in commercial life. Only
Christian people should sing In a
cnurch choir though If we should
hold to this rule some of our chur-
ches would not have much OF a
choir The teachers of the Sunday
School should be christian and well
trained. The teacher should know
his lesson and not waste the time
of the class We put the emphasis
on the wrong side when we seek
social leaders and wealthy members
The strength o. the church is in the
young life of the Sunday School.
Rev. G. B. Lewis spoke on Satur-
day. He said that the Sunday Sch
ool class was sacred trust God
has given lis. The teacher Is not
there to entertain the class but to
lead the pupils to Christ. He must
must have joy in the service and 10
before his class all aglow and atm
gle with sense of power. Unless
God has called you to teach you
should not teach.
Rev Orrin Sharp of Granada gave
an excellent address He discussed
the Sunday School standards OF ef-
ficiency and how by caring for mis-
sionary work. Temperance work.

tutc Teachers Training Glass, the
last goal toward the high mark.
