I—Our men’s class is compelled to meet with the main school whose h'ogram with both an opening and dnsiiig service gives us only twenty minutes for the lesson when we would | t ’ ke to have forty minutes. How can *“y change be effected? r he making of the program is J| gely i n f| le i )alK ] B o f the superin- ’■ “lent and the subject needs to be “oroughiy discussed in a most* j’n-ndly way.

In l n five minute preliminary selei ■ lion by the orchetsrn or piano before the hour for Ing; build the! I opening service around a subjeci having every song, the prayer, Scripture leading, etc,, voice the HCntlment of the subject; make the announcements in concise and language in as short a time as possible. 't hen as to closing many Suti|dny schools nre dispensing with the closing service, especially when the ' church service follows the Sunday school letting the scholars feel that •the closing service of the Sunday • school is the church service. To [have a closing service of the Sunday school is bud psychology it makes Ithe scholars feel that the program is •ended and it is time to go home, and as a result we have a largo per cent, of the Sunday school going home and Ithe church service is suffering in I small attendance. , i 2.—Would you advise teachers to take their classes into the church with them? | | We would certainly advise teachers to set a good example to their pupils by being regular in church attendance, and we would advise them to urge their pupils to attend service. I Wherever possible, however, the I teacher should encourage the pupil to sit with his own parents in the | church service. In case of children whose parents do not attend church, it will often be found encouraging to the child if the teacher will take that particular pupil with her into the' church service. , There will bo few instances where the teacher and an entire class would attend regular service together—in' case of special services or exercises. 1 o Questions For Discussion On The Sunday School Lesson Title —The Cripple at the Gate Beautiful — Acts 3:1-11 —for Sunday. April 12. 1. —Why was this a critical hour in the history of Christianity? 2. How can we become interested in uninteresting people? 3. —How is the Gospel showing its .power in our modern world? 4. — What is the best way of helping poor and crippled children? 5. How is this beggar an illustration of the condition of men in general? What beggary is far wider and deeper than his? | Clericus says: What we all need is not more gold but more grace; not | more outer things, but more inner life. Little is gained by putting better clothes on the body, if the soul is clothed in filthy rags; or by feeding the body on richer food, if the soul is fed on busks. LESSON PRAYER • Teach us. dear Master, the lessons thou wouldst have us learn today. May we see our own spiritual lame'ness and beggary, like the beggar of ( old not asking for healing, and life j .but for money, wealth, ease, anti t 1 pleasure. Help us to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteous- | ness, knowing that all these things shall be added unto us. Teach us something of the sympathy of Peter I and John and how we too may see and feel the innermost need of folks I that we may help them. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. BOOK REVIEW • Stories for Talks to Boys, by F. H. i Cheley, Association Press, 347 Madison avenue, New York City, contains I illustrative material which the auth- • or, long a successful Boys' Work sec- • retary, has gathered from many sources. Group leaders, Sunday school teachers and speakers will find it valuable for driving their message home. “Lucky in Love," by Berta Ruck, Dodd. Mead & Co,, 443 Fourth avenue, New York City, $2.00, is the story of a girl who decided to sell her dearest keepsake to help a friend, never dreaming that doing so would lead her to a moonlight rescue, and through countless other delightful experiences—not the least of which was the great experience that awaits all those who are "Lucky in Love."

There is still a romance in missions. In the tiny village of Nanton in the province of Alberta, Canada, a seamstress by giving up even some of the necessities of life, never spending a needless penny and never taking a day’s holiday, has saved $450 for Foreign Missions. Two hundred dollars has been used to distribute the Gospel of Mark among the blind of Burma. i* * * i The legislature of Tennessee has sent to the governor for signature a •law forbidding the teaching'of evolution in the schools of that state. The bill also prohibits the teaching of any other account of creation than that contained in the book of Gensis. Another bill, providing that no public school teacher could receive a salary until he had made affidavit of belief in the deity of Jesus Christ, barely failed to pass when its sup1 porters fell into a division because of an attempt to substitute the word . "divinity” for "deity.” * * * , Mar Ishai Shimun. patriarch of the Nestorian and Assyrian church, is to visit the United 2tYtrfWi next summer. The Nestorian church is one of the most ancient of Christian organize Hons. Monuments in China and elsewhere tell of a time, in the fifth century, when it was the most powerful church in the world. The present patriarch is only a boy sixteen years old. succeeding his brother who died in that office. He is now completing his education in England, where he is the guest of .the Archbishop of Canterbury. . —— o Weekly Story of Early Education In The Homes < Two little girls, many years ago < were encouraged by their mothers to I send each other make-believe letters Pimples w / You will be startled how quickly and thoroughly you can stop skin eruptions and beautify your complexion with S.

After they had attended pnnlfe school a short while, each wrote the other letters such art school children were able to pen. With the passing years, by means of their weekly correspondence, they became exceptionally good loiter writers. In their curly teens they m- t and had a long vacation visit together so that acquaintance was turned into friendship and a new interest was given for more letter writing. The weekly communications increased in volume ami improved in style. Events were described in graphic language and flights of Imagination were seen in word painting. They both learned to observe Well ami to express in the best form what might boos interest to the other It was not until both were married and their gainful occupation laid aside for home life that either attempted to write for publications, but ability had been developing along with the happiness it brought and It is more than a mere coincidence that both are now successful writers and the only members of their family thus engaged. oTHE CHURCH PACE Starting with tonight’s edition of, the Daily Democrat, a church section I will appear each Wednesday nighty The church section can only be a success through the cooperation of those interested.
