Sunday School and Training Union
Congress Calls for Week Of Prayer

The State Sunday School and
Training Union Congress takes
this method of calling a WEEK
of PRAYER for the betterment
of the coming session of the Con-
gress that will be held at Cren-
shaw, Miss, in the month of Oct
ober, 1856. A survey was made
by the Dean of the Congress at
Greenwood, Miss. last October
and it was found that there had
been a great falling away in the
Sunday Schools, and many of the
churches have lost their local
unions. They have no meetings al
all. This, as you know, is the
training department of the Bap-
fist church; that has the Bible
for its text Book. And when the
light goes out darkness enters in
We feel that a Week of Prayer
observed in all the Baptist chur-
ches of the General Baptist State
Convention by the young people
of the Sunday schools and Unions,
under the supervision of the pas
tor and the assistance of the adult
members, will heal this breach
and bring back those who have
gone astray and add many more
