TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
OF MONROE COUNTY

Through the goodness and gen
crosby of the editors of our county
papers, take this method of giving
out the instructions l have received
from our State Superintendent, also
reporting facts about our county, and
adding some suggestions that may
prove helpful to our Sunday Schools
in general.
While many of our Sunday Schools
survived the winter and have good
record of attendance, others have
been inactive. We welcome Spring
again, when the babies and old people
may accompany the children and
young people to the house of the
Lord for His service.
wish to call special attention to
CHILDREN'S WEEK, which is to be
observed throughout the State, from
April 23d trough April 3Oth This is
not new service to US, as we have
observed same for the past three
years. This service is to be just as
helpful as we can make it. 1t should
consist of a meeting of Parent and
Teachers, also a week of visitation,
(may no home be omitted,) and it
chOr111 ole IL
ture for our children and young peo-
pie, thereby showing them we have
not forgotten the inclinations of
young mind and heart; that we be-
lieve in social hours, directed by the
right impulses, and superintendent by
one of prudence, and with reverence
for God and man. If, in case this
Children's Week Service can't be OBJ
served in full, then do what can be
done. One day, one-half day, or an
evening vii help the Sunday School
If not convenient during week set
apart, then select your own time, be-
tween now and district convention.
Many of you know that the Satte
Sunday School Convention convened
at Cleveland, April 4, 5, and 9th.
Miss Marguerite Briscoe, State Chill
dren's Division Superintendent, ask
ed for representative from our
county to tell the Convention "How
We Observed Children's Week" She
was anxious to get this before the
Convention, as few counties, as yet,
hoy rrvrnnaInI -
Viola Werner, Sd Dist. Supt.. attend
ed this convention, with report of
our Children's Division work, and
giving full account of our children's
week service. She tells me that
since she returned that Monroe is one
of the banner counties. That the
Convention was very inspiring; that
as soon as convenient she will be glad
to give us, in detail, many interest
ing points she brought back with her.
1 want to add one more thought
about our Sunday Schools, In general,
before closing. Spring and summer
brings about the much enjoyed All
Day Singings. Now we have a good
number of Sunday School workers in
the County. SO l don't think there
can be singing held in the county
without one or more of these persons
present We have few people with
five talents; most of US have only
one. To those who sing, singing is
their talent We certainly can't ex-
pect them to do their duty and ours
too. So we Sunday School folks must
carry our part along, and ask that the
Sunday School Lesson be not omitted |
even though the time set apart be
short. If it was generally under
stood we could use the Sunday School |
hour, we would attend the singing I
with a better singing spirit; for we
wouldn't feel like we were emitting I
part of what Sunday is intended for,
to study Gods word Respt
