visited by American Lutherans to
seek out the best established methods
df weekday religious instruction.
after the third biennial convention
of the United Lutheran Church in
America, which meets in Buffalo for
ten days. beginning October II. The
mend that all Lutheran congrega-
tions in the United Lutheran Church
establish weekday schools for re-
ligious instruction, with an authorized
course of text books and a curricu-
lum prepared by the board.
During the two years that have
elapsed since the last convention of
the United Lutheran Church the
parish and church school board has
been very active in the preparation
Of courses of study. for Sunday
schools> which. meeting for a brief
session at the close of the public
school day. instruct the children of
the congregation in the principles
of Luther's faith. More than forty
Sunday school periodicals are being
published by the board. one of which.
Lutheran Young Folks. has a weekly
circulation Of more than 10000 Efforts
are being made at the present time to
provide literature other than English
for the German and Slav Sunday
schools.
The purpose of the board is to de-
velop the educational work within
the congregations. to organize week
day Christian training schools, to
provide literature for the home and
the schools and to prepare programs
for summer assemblies, conventions,
anniversaries and all festival occa-
sions; in general, overseeing and pro-
tecting the interests of the educa-
tional department Of the Lutheran
Church
Among other recommendations, the
boards will ask the convention to
urge every Lutheran Church to keep
the Sunday school open throughout
the entire twelve months and to ad-
vocate the use of the Bible in class
work in all grades above the pri-
mary, thereby eliminating the lesson
quarterly except for reference pur-
poses. It asks for approval of plan
to furnish three hymn books for all
Sunday schools, a regular service
book, a primary hymnal and a book
of semi-popular modern hymns of
general appeal. The board further
will seek permission to organize Sun
day schools where needed in the vari-
Gus states and Canadian provinces
and to establish local Sunday school
institutes, conventions and training
schools throughout the country.
