IS DOING GREAT WORK. WHAT THE BANQUET MEANS General' State 1 Secretary Counts 4t the Dawn of Great Day la Richmond. The question came up in a recent meeting " of "the executive committee of the Richmond Sunday School Association as to whether it paid to have a Sunday ' school banquet each year. There was no disposition on the part-of the committee to discontinue the affair but in order to get outside opinion on the matter, Prof. W. S. Fiske wrote to General Secretary Halpenny. at Indianapolis for his views on the matter. The letter received follows: ' - I want to express to you the warmest appreciation of the pleasure and profit I realized from my recent visit to Richmond, on the occasion of the Richmond City S. S. Association banquet March 9th, 1906. Your association is inaugurating a. special feature of association work, which is bound to makfitself felt in other Indiana cities. Tne :more X thinkof the occasion in question) Jhe more I see of possibility in it, t and the more I am confident of the truth of my suggestion in the little after-dinner talk that "the Sunday School sun has not yet risen." ' ' The importance of the aim and purpose of the Sunday-school is not yet fixed, in .the minds-of., even many of tfiose who are actively engaged in the work. It is a : ' ' Sleeping Giant ' ' of the church. The only way people will be brought to realize the importance and value of the Sundayschool is by getting them together to consider it and to hear about it. It is "possible to live a Sunday school lifetime without seeing beyond ones own dooryard. Indispensible to the , best interests of Sunday school life and work in any city, county or state is the "Broader view" which looks not alone at "ray own" merely, but also with solicitude to ''others" and especially to that forgotten, fifty per cent which apparently belongs, to "nobody." ' - Your banquet in Richmond means first of : all the assembling, o the workers in each local school, not selfishly, nor in self interest directly. Second it means the association of the: workers of all the city schools in "'J' (Continmed to Page 8.) ; .;
