SUNDAY SCHOOLS . . Bro. J. B. Smith read the report on Sunday Schools as fol-
lows: ' We are rejoiced to know the interest in tliis important
work is growing. The Sunday School, properly conducted, is the great ..teaching force of the church, and our greatest needs seem to be the lack of competent, consecrated, Christian men and women to do the work. Brethren, this -is why we need so much the Christian education that.our boys and girls might be prepared for this great work. The Sunday School will lag so long as the young men and young women '(our boys and girls) are not prepared for this great teaching branch of the church. We need trained Sunday School teachers whose hearts and lives are in the work. Brethren, let us pray the Lord that our boys and girls may become, such and strive to accomplish that end. We earnestly pray that every church· in this Association may report a live Sunday School at our next annual meeting. Oh, such a report as this would bring joy and gladness to our hearts. We owe it to the Master to a Sunday School in every church.

borders thousands of lost souls, and vast · areas of undeveloped territory, as regards the ehm:ches, Sunday schools, and other means of teaching the bles~ed truths of the gospel of our Lord and Master, we as Baptists should earnestly heed the command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." We your Committee find that few of our churches are giyin~ liberally to this worthy cause. We earnestly recommend that all our· churches fail not tb contribute something during our coming associ a tiona! year to this fund.
