METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL

Everyone connected with our Sun
day school is, asked to help in the
Easter Egg Rolf for the Rice Lake
Methodist hospital, next Sunday, Mar.
25. A committee will be there to
pack the eggs and everyone will bring
as many fresh eggs as he wishes to
give or money to buy some with.
This is very easy way to give a gift
to some sick people, so let us make
it generous one.
At the meeting of the Sunday
school board last week it was voted
to so reorganize and reseat the de-
partments we now have as to make
it possible to organize a Young Peo-
Pies division. This includes particu-
larry students of Senior High School
age and Normal students or those of
that agq-approximately Is to "a.
The young people will have charge of
their own department, under an ad-
visory superintendent, and can intro
duce ANY ndw features that they
want. We hope to organize this de-
partment next Sunday and urge all
young people to be present and help
us make it go. This ought to be our
biggest and best department right
from the start.
The Adult department has gener
ously consented to occupy the League
room until the new Sunday school
rooms are built---a very nice room on
ly we hope it will be too crowded for
comfort, as that will mean building
so much sooner. The Brotherhood
has offered to do whatever seems for
the best interest of the S. S. and will
make some changes in the present
organization of the mems classes next
Sunday, under the direction of their
President, Mr.. Mitchell. Nothing else
will be of so much help in getting
more young people interested in the
new department as to have their par
ents come and join class, so we
hope that every man within reach of
our church, who does not already at
tend S. S., will feel most cordially in
vited and urged to help make the
Brotherhood class the most interest
ing one in the Sunday school. Let
us have a contest between the men
and the women as to which class shall
first outgrow it's share of the League
room.
The women of the Sunday school
are interested in organizing a depart
ment of their own, which we hope
may also be done next Sunday. They
will elect department President and
two teachers, one for class of older
women and one for the younger mar
ried and older unmarried women. In
order to make this possible, the Cradle
Roll department will take charge of
a nursery for all children too young to
attend class, so that mothers may
enroll in one of the women's classes.
Any woman may join which ever class
she feels most at home in, regardless
of age. Mrs. Bird has kindly offered
the use of her house for the nursery
until the church addition is built, and
Mrs. Oakley, Mrs. Webster and Mrs.
Bird will have charge of the nursery
with the help of girls from the S. S.
classes if necessary. So the babies
will be in good hands and we earnest
ly hope that many mothers who have
not been attending S. S. will now re-
main and help in the contest against
the mems department. We need every
one of you.
If anyone has any suggestions as to
how this reorganization could be i'm
proved or as to how they would like
to see it done, please make them to
the Superintendent, who will welcome
help.
