Communication.
MK. KM TOR:
I desire to call tli« attention of
i your readers to a movement on
I foot among some of the .Sunday
I School workers of Sullivan County
! to maintain and develope interest in
I Sunday Sehool work.
At present the proposal is to hold
' a number of local or district eonven
i tion or rallies in different parts of the
I county. The object of these is lb
discuss methods of teaching the bible
i to the young, middle aged and old
j and also lay plans for the advance-i
| merit of the best interest of all who
come under the influence of the Sun
day School. I believe that good
singing and cheerful social iutercours
will characterize these gatherings.
Good things should not be kept in a
corner. Good people should not im
agine that the Hible and its teaching
is of interest to them alone. Christ
came in contact with all classes of
society. Why should his followers
have a corner in religion. The exalt
ed religious principles of our fore
fathers are now regarded by both
saint and sinner as the priceless her
itage of the nation. We can now
see errors in their religious beliefs
and in their daily practices but un
derneath all we recognize high aims.
In order to perpetuate these princi
ples it is necessary that the young
trained to believe that good character
is a higher consideration than either
wealth or fame.
The Sunday School aims to do this
class of work. Let the citizens of
whatever faith give their aid
and approval to the Sunday School
workers. The times and places for
holding these conventions will be an
nounced locally and likely through
the press. A cordial invitation to
attend is extended to all who are in
terested in this work and tothe gen
end public. If present plans are carri
lod into effect, conventions will he
held beginning on Friday of next
| week June lit It, at ilillsgrove
in theafternoon and evening and on
i Wednesday and Thursday following
j in Elkland and Forks twps.
Yours truly,
VKKNOX llri.i,, Vice Pres.
Sullivan Co. Sunday School Associ
ation.
