Rev T P Baker spoke of the im portance of a careful censns of the t'wn Jo ascertain what chilhren were attending the Sunday School and what not. He stressed in an earnest speech the necessity for work of this kind^ This idea com prehends a house-to-house visit by volunteer canvassers, like the gov ernment or State census. It is a sane idea and one that the church would find rich in results. The program included addresses by Miss Ida M Fishburne, on the Home Department and Cradle Roll, and Rev Henry Cauthen on The Or ganized Bible Class, but the time was not sufficient and these subjects will be discussed at another meeting, which will be held later in the sum mer. It is hoped that the meeting haa awakened at least tome of the peo ple to the great importance of Sun day School work. H. J. C.

It is not an institution to supplant home teaching. It is not a place to send the ne glected little waif, but of doubtful value to one more fortunate. It is not an innovation nor a fad, nor a society to be considered as in dependent ftom the church. Positively: <*. It is a school of development for all. . It is a field service. It Is preeminently a Bible school. It is the church in activity. It is the church systematically studying the Bible. It is the great evangelistic of the church. It is the church's opportunity. It is the church's pulse. It is a place for big brother, sister, father, mother, baby and It is the piece for the "other fel low.” It is the place for me. Ir is missionary in spirit, or else a spiritless corpse. •The World is the Field. The school the Force.” We can never hope to rise above our ideal until we are able to catch this lofty conception of the Sunday School Mission, our work will re main upon a low and apologetic level.
