BILLY SUNDAY HELPED
Sunday School Work Gets Impetus
From Evangelist's Visit

York, Feb. 20.-That Billy Sum-
days meeting in Spartanburg has
furnished great impetus and in
.spiration to the Sunday School work
in South Carolina is the opinion Of
Leon C. Palmer, state superintend-
ent of the South Carolina Sunday
School association.
MIR. Palmer is Of the opinion that
the coming Of Nh. Sunday to Spar
.tanburg has been a big bost to the
forces of Christianity not only in
that town but throughout the state.
II notice that people in all sec
tons of the state seem to be taking
a greater interest in the work of the
South Carolina Sunday School asso-
ciation," said Mr.. Palmer in an in
terview recently. "Calls for the pres
ence of members Of our staff of Sun
day school workers have been numer-
Gus from various sections during the
past month and We attribute much of
the renewed interest to Mr.. Sundays
meeting.
"Mr. Sunday is a great believer in
the Sunday School and he is always
eager and anxious to help the growth
of Sunday School work in any way
possible.
1.-The South Carolina Sunday
School association believes that South
Carolina is a better state for the
coming of Billy Sunday"
