The best way to decrease the

Parents Don't Forget!
In these days of so many bad in

that MOST CHILDREN left with

to stem the rising tide of vice and
crime among our youth"
The Most Priceless Heritage
The inspiring, enobling, uplifting
influence of Sunday School train
ing is the greatest and most price
less heritage we can give our chill
dren. 1t will stay with them
through life. 1t will help them
meet the grave problems and re-
sponsibilities of life. 1t will enable
them to face life's difficulties, crises
and sorrows with Christian fortitude
and courage. Mr. G.. R. Schaeffer,
of the Marshal-Field g. Company
expressed sorrow for all boys who
are not favored with Sunday
School experiences. He further ex-
pressed his estimate of it in these
words: Surely the Sunday School
is one of the bulwarks of American
character and civilization"
The editor of The Emporia Ga
zette, William Allen White, sums
up the matter in editorial fashion
and gives us this to think about.

100000 Sad Experiences Last Year
100000 Juvenile Offenders were

April Is car loadings on the ma
tons railroads totaled 494,215 cars,
an increase of 6919 cars over the
preceding week.
Gains in the rails exceeded two
points. Atchison, New York Gen.
ira, Union Pacific and Pennsyl-
.Tobaccos were whirled up at gains
ranging to more than points.

demonstration of strength on the
theory the gold they produced would
command a sizeable permium if in

Gates of silver legislation. Silver

stocks moved up several points.
Higher prices for copper brought
buying into the copper group
where sizeable gains were noted in
international Nickel, American
Smelling, Cerro De Pasco, and An
aconda Copper. Higher silver pri-
ees also helps this group which OBJ

copper production.

A. A. Stagg, Director of Physical
Culture and Athletics at the Uni
versity of Chicago recently said
"The progress of the United States
and the world depends upon the
Sunday-school.' The outstanding
thinkers and leaders of this age
agree with Francis Morton that:
There is no standing army
Like the Sunday-school today
Where the parents and the child
rem
Come to read Gods word and
pray.
This standing army of thirty
three million advancing Sunday
school members, in the words OF
James r. Ogden, Of London is
THE mightiest organization for
good in the whole world" And this
Sunday school army according to
Elmer T. Stephens of Chicago is,
"Civilizations greatest defense
against deterioration"
The Hope for America
"The hope for an America of
tomorrow filled with honest pur-
poses and righteous intentions
rests almost wholly upon how we
raise our children TODAY" accord
ing to Charles I. Stengle, Editor of
The National Farm News. Truly it
is impossible to compute the value
of religious training in the lives
of our young people. And no cir
cumstances or attitudes should be
allowed to deprive them of the in
esteemable benefits of such train
ing. Prof. M. v. O'Shea of the IN
iversity of Wisconsin declared re-
Gently: II wish every boy and girl
might have training in a good Sun
day School,"
A Message From the President
You my dear reader, have q
message from the late President
Calvin Coolidge. Here 1t is. THE
Sunday schools furnish a great
agency by which spiritual ideals
are made a part of the life of the
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1933-04-22

the vast literature called the Bible
which climaxes in the Ten COM
mandments and the Golden Rule, is
not ready to do his part in Ameri-
can democracy"
Louis J. Taber, master OF the Ma
tional Grange, says: And just as
the flag awakens patriotism, SO the
Sunday School can touch the best
in our boys and girls and lead them
to more useful lives"
Cure of Family Troubles
Let us add the words of B. s
Pearsall, president of that butter
| company which carries his own
name, who speaking of the Sunday
School, said: ut is the greatest cure
of trouble and difficulty in families
and is the JOY, life and the promise
of our children" 1t is a long
stretch perhaps from the place OF
the average persons life to the
place of Royal S. Copeland, U. s.
senator from New York. But after
teaching in the Sunday School for
25 years he said: IF I had my way,
I would have every child in America
come under the influence of Sun
day School" Again he says: There
never was time in the history of
American civilization when the work
of the Sunday School was more
necessary than it is at this mo-
ment"
| Start Today!
Friend, what place are you giving
the Church and Bible study IN
your life? No Sunday is truly SUN
Gay unless a portion of it is spent
in spiritual worship at the house
of God. The easiest thing on earth
to do is to neglect the things OF
the soul. So begin now to attend
Sunday School. Others will be 60
ing for the first time next Sunday.
Come along with them. No intro
duction necessary-walk right in.
Bring the whole family. Sunday
School is a family affair and al.
should attend. The Sunday School
campaign is now on in our churches.
] You are especially invited. Come!
