A Hint to Sunday School Superinten-
dents and Teachers
Continued from page y

1t is truism that a lawyer at
tributes his or her success, not alone
to the time spent upon specific case,
but also the time spent in learning how
to take up that case. DR.. w. d.
Brown, physician and surgeon, 900
Marquette Avenue His fee is based
not alone upon the time actually
spent for a patient but also upon the
years of study, prayer, patience and
practice which made it possible for him
to help that patient
And it is equally true that teachers
cuccess with class in the Sunday
School, BTU. or .Y.P.U., depends
not alone upon the hours given to the
preparation of the lesson, but also up
on their knowledge of God, his word,
and how to teach it. For many are
called, but a few are chosen Once it
was thought that Sunday School teach
ing was matter of so little moment
that one required no preparation. It's
thesis is that the institution once serv-
ed its day we'll but the time has come
to discard it, for it is no longer an as
set but is in fact liability.
But with trained staff, wonderful
equipment, a curriculum scientifically
sound, and sufficiently comprehensive
in scope such as our Sunday School in
der in the church should be any more
important as teaching a class, in the
Church School, B.Y.P.U., BTU. and
B.A.U. Only those are qualified, that
have the mind of Christ Preparation
of the heart makes prepared teachers
regardless of all other attainments

Cotton Committee
Opposes Proposal

PHOENIX. May g. (UP)-A cot
ton export subsidy plan before con-
greSs was attacked today by the
Arizona export subsidy committee,
unit of the American Cotton
Shippers association. as discrimin-
atory
THE proposed export subsidy
plan, if placed in effect, would
cause a world price war on cotton.
and thereby defeat the purported
aim Of the plan, which is to get
back our almost lost export mar
ket," Arthur r. Launey, member of
the Arizona committee, said. The
only agency which could benefit
even temporarily from the plan
would be the federal government,
which then would be able to dump
its abortive cotton surplus and the
shippers, who would be given extra
money for each bale sold in export
The benefit would be only tenn
porary to the government and to
the shippers" he said.
