Of Interest to Sunday Schools. The Twenty First District of the Indiana State Sunday School Unioncomprises the counties of Jasper, Newton and Benton. A circular letter has been sent me as president of this district, with a request that it be printed in all the papers of the above men tioned counties , The circular letter comes from the Executive Committee of the State Union. The outline of the work of the state is given which is twofold. It is desired that a Normal Training College be established. The expenses of this Training school are to be provided for by the Board of Regents. The collections from the schools of the county are not to be applied to the work of the college, but to the proper work of the Union as heretofore. The object of the college shall be the training of the Sunday School workers. It is clearly stated in the letter that the work of this School shall be separate and distinct from the Sunday School Union proper. 2 It Is hoped the work of Organization may be more vigorously prosecuted them heretofore. The District Superintendent is urged to insist that all the counties be organized. The presidents of the different counties are advised to keep up the county Unions and to see that proper reports of the same be forwarded to the Secretary of the State Union at Indianapolis. Now I desire to say that the Indiana State Sunday School Union in these counties will depend upon the local workers. lam willing to assist but the work, in the nature of the case will depend in large measure upon the different county officers. It certainly is a good work and one in which we can all most heartily unite. It is inter-denominational. It is in the interests of good society. It is missionary in spirit. Let us all unite to make the year ending with next Convention, June, 1892, the best we have ever witnessed. 1.1. Gorby, President of the 21st Dist. A look through J.
