. y- ' f w% r. If : ^ “Patriotic Sunday" U ,to be ob- aerred throughout th^^’nlted States in the Sun lay schools of all denom inations on Sunday July 1. It is peculiarly fitting that this day was | chosen as “Patriotic Sunday" by ^ the International Sunday School Associations, as it conies in tho-j .same week as our great national j holiday on July 4. Sunday school leaders can make the day one of, •real benefit to the Sunday School I by quttk and aggressive action.' “Patriotic Sunday”' furnished an | opportunity of impressing men and women . everywhere With the Idea, that the Sunday school Is an effect ive agency for the promotion of the best thinge ,in our community life. * Presilent Woodrow Wilson has issued the following- proclamation, calling on the Sunday school peo ple to observe the'day: “To the Officers, Teachers and Scholars of the Sunday Schools of the United States of America: “The present insistent call of our beloved country must be heard and answered by every citizen of the United States In proportion *o his or her ability to maintain the na tional power and honor. Many cit izens will render their aid by force Of arms on the battlefield while others will make the nation strong by their patriotic gifts and support to th'< common cause. It is there fore * Igfify Ailing that the Sunday srhoo of -the nation should observe a spec ! patriotic day and on this occasion should make a special con tribution *o the American Red Cross for the alleviation of the suffering entailed by the prosecution of the present war. If is my earnest hope that your gener.ositv may he un stinted in this, the-hour of the na tion’* need, .and that this special day may mean much to you in the understanding of the cause for which our beloved land now rnn- terM* (Signed) • Woodrow Wilson." A number of the governors of sfateq and territories in the United States have also issued proclama 1 tions calling on the Sunday school worker* to observe the day. The purpose of tb* day is to ex press gratitude to (tod'for our Na tion; to .arouse feelings of loyalty and devotion to the Nation; to en list all Sunday sehool members in some form of patriotic service; to enroll a* members of the Red Crois society tbe officers, teachers and a* many others In the Sunday school who wish to join, and to make an offering toward the Red Cross so ciety or other war relief agency, or Army Y M.
