TO CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY

American Sunday School Union Is One Hundred Years Old. With the remarkable record of having established over 120,000 Sunday schools throughout the country, with 500,000 teachers and 5,000,000 scholars, the American Sunday School Union is now preparing to celebrate Its one hundredth anniversary. The society has issued an interesting pamphlet concerning its history and work and also a leaflet entitled “Sunday School Pioneering in Rural America.” The latter relates some of the amazing experiences of the society’s missionaries in the wild and undeveloped sections of the country. Both of these pamphlets will be gladly mailed upon request to all who are interested in knowing more about this unique organization which stands alone and unequalled in community development work in rural America. The headquarters of the society are at 1816 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
