shall establish in the minds OF the
children and youth of this land that
consciousness Of God and belief in
human brotherhood which were ex-
emplif1ed so wonderfully in the life
and words of the Savior of mankind.
Week Day Religious Education
We heartily approve of the plan
of Week Day Religious Instruction
which has been presented to this
convention, and which is exempli-
/ fled at Bar Harbor. 1t will strength
| en- respect for our public schools
and will ennoble individual life and
tend toward the improvement of our
social order by contributing to our
general education that spiritual ele-
ment which is lacking.
Community Training School
: To the end that the week day re-
ligious schools, and that other i'm
portant project for the furtherance
of religious education. the Daily Va
cation Bible School, may not fail for
lack of efficient leadership. we urge
the continuance of the Community
Training Schools at Bangor, Lew
iston-Auburn and Portland, and
recommend that other communities
seek the help of General Secretary
Brewster in starting such schools.
"A New Field Worker
Our work has been greatly en-
larged by the brilliantly successful
| work OF our General Secretary. Ed
ward II. Brewster. and he cannot
| respond to all the demands made
upon him. Maine Is a great field
for Sunday School work and the new
opportunities for development are
many. We ask all to help in the
financial support of a new worker
among our young people.
Law Enforcement
Recognizing the great importance
of a good environment in all our
communities for the children and
youth of our State, We commend the
zeal OF our officers in the enforce
mcnt of law and we urge on all citi-
zens the duty of regarding as sacred
all our laws.
Resolved. that we extend to Wa
terville, her churches and citizens.
and to the people of Oakland Fair
field and Winslow our sincere thanks
for the generous hospitality SO freely
rendered to this convention.
Also we thank the press for
spreading abroad a knowledge OF
our message and work.
