FOR RALLY DAY “Five Hundred” is the Slo-1 gan of the Boosters of the Methodist SUNDAY SCHOOL Working For That Number of Members by October the Eighth. Five Hundred” is the slogan of the ■ boosters for the Rally Day of the Meth- i odist Episcopal Sunday school. October Bth is the time appointed for Rally ■ Day and the school is counting on having 500 in actual attendance for the' lesson study at 9:15 a. m. In order to | secure this number a unique plan has been adopted. Each scholar is appointed a booster and supplied with cards to be signed by the members j and friends of the school, and every one who is willing to attend. The card is a promise which reads: “I will be one of 500 present at the Meth odist Sunday school at 9:15 a. m., October 8, 1911.” When 500 of these cards are signed notice will be given in the daily papers. The scholars are working earnestly and there is a generous rivalry between the classes to see which can turn in the most cards. As fast as the pledges are secure! they are to be turned in to the superintendent, C. L. Walters, or to the pastor. If you are not a member of some , other Bible school the Methodist school invites you to join the 500 next Sunday. n Q ■’ D. D.
