Promoting Sundav School Work.
Mr. R. O. Sams, of Gaffney
City, and Mr. William Rey
nolds, of Peoria, Illinois, have
been in Darlington this week in
the interest of the international
Sunday School work: Mr. Sams
is the field Secretary for South
Carolina, and Mr. Reynolds is
the international field Organiz
er for the United States and
Canada. The meetings were
held in the Baptist Church Tues
day afternoon and night, and
Wednesday morning. Mr. Rey
nolds spoke of the great import
ance of the Sunday-School work,
and stated that he believed the
meetings he was holding were
more important to the Stave
than any political gathering the
people had ever had; that he
wanted the Christian people to
lay out their strength upon the
children in giving them the
Gospel. He said that one half
of the children in South Caro
lina were not under religious
influences, and that not twenty
r, ?r cent of those who unite
■”th the churches came in after
twenty-ono years of age. He
suggested that every man ought
to do what was next to him, or
at hand. Mr. Reynolds stated
that in the United States there
are 130,000 Protestant Sunday
Schools, with 1,300,000 workers,
superintendents and teachers,
and 10,000.000 scholars. He
said that if these workers were
to receive one dollar each for
every service, it would take
$65,000,000 a year to pay them;
but the work is gratuitous, a
work of love. There is, how
ever, a great army of 11,000,000
outside the ! . fluence of the Sun
day School, where, in these days
children get their main religious
education.
Mr. Reynolds said that the
Sunday School is the greatest
evangelizing agency in this
country: he spoke ol the fact
that church-hb'mes were being
built with all the modern con
veniences for the successful
prosecution of Sunday School
work, and referred to General
SmLh’s church, of WyoLi-rf 1 •
aim U- '-'-^-riirn chorch in
« niiaaelphia, the latter with its
college and 4,000 students, and
every convenience for the help
