SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
SEPTEMBER 24, 1922
We ere today to study In review
the tea?on( of the poet three month*.
Time and apace here allotted will not
permit ua to enter into a review of
theae important lespons, and their
many valuable leaaona to ua applicable
to the timaa in which we-live. Al
moet every condition prevailing
among the people about whom we
have atudied flnda it parallel in theae
modern times. In the abort apace
allotted here we deaire to atudy:
First: The eaaentials of a suecess
ful Sunday School. Among the
many things that might be mentioned
we want to notice just a few in pese
ing: The first essential is good lead
era. We are dot questioning the fit
ness of any individual bpt speaking in
general terms. The leader is to be
one in whom the folks have CONFI
DENCE. It is said that the presence
of Napoleon was equal to an army of
-20,000 soldiers, why? Because they
had confidence in his leadership. Why
should not the same be aBd of the
leader of the forces for the training
of men, women, boys end girls for the
Kingdom of God? Another essential
in the making of a Sunday School a
success is a leader who is teachable.
Not a Solomon, but one whp is ready
to learn. There is a bed rock of
truth upon which everything worth
while must stand, and yet there are
new methods by which the truth may
be applied. A leader of mpn in any
cap%city ought to study to. "show
himself approved." A leader of men
in any capacity ought to study to
"show himself approved." A Rip
Van Winkle Sunday School in these
modern times will never have any
attraction for the bringing together
of those who are outside. Let us
notice another very important essen
tial in the making of the Sunday
School a success. There must be en
thusiasm. There must be a consum
ing and ardent zeal for the work at
hand. We have come to a place in
our church life when we must depend
largely upon the Sunday School. Al
most all the recruits for the ministry
eome from the Sunday School. Most
of our church members Come from the
8unday School. Practically all the
leaders in the churches today were
trained in the Sunday School. A
successful Sunday School is one also
whose leaders are busy about the task
?even days in every week and three
hundred and sixty-five days in every
year. Every Sunday School would
be one of marked success if every
/leader were given to the task as dili
gently as he is to his business affairs.
The banker is alert for business. The
merchant is everlastingly after new
customers and seeks to hold them af
ter he has once gotten them. Many
leaders in our Sunday Schools are
, satisfied with the same little handful
from year to year and if eome are
lost there is no special effort made
to regain them. .
une important thing in the success
ful school U that it is RUN ON
TIME. Railroads maintain a, sched
ule. Factory whistles blow on sched
ule. Why not have system in the
running of our church work? We
must have if we expect to be a suc
cess. Have a well defined* plan and
then work to it. It is generally un
derstood that those who are to lead
in this important work are conse
crated Christian men and women.
Those who know the way to the
throne. Those who have had a vis-1
ion and by divine guidance are follow
ing the leading of that vision. Those
who know themselves, the Lord, and
then follow in the paths of duty.
The function of the teacher in the
Sunday School is to teach. Teach
what? Must teach what he knows
from experience. What his eyes
hare seen and hit heart has felt The
subject to be taught is religion. This
may be done through the eye and ear.
The eye gate is one of the most essen
tial in teaching anything. Use the
best method to reach the young heart
The text book to be used is the Bible.
In the year 1912 there were 2,500,000
of the best books sold, this same year
there were 10,000,000 copies of th?
Bible sold. Since 1858 the AmerMbn
Bible Society has printed and bound
more than 75,000,000 copies.
In the world war 7,000,000 copies
were distributed to the soldiers. "I
with worship toward Thy holy temple,
and praise thy name above all thy
name". Psalm 188:2. If God's word
is magnified in living and teaching It
will lead to the conversion of the pu
pils in the Sunday School, to their
development in Christian service and
to their training in things pertaining
to the kingdom of God. When the
word of God is magnified, when it
holds its rightful place in the home
life, and the church, and Sunday
School there will be no difficulty in
enlisting the young life in the service
of the kingdom.
After all said and done the business
of the Sabbath, or church school is to
enlist workers in the vineyaTd of the
Lord. It is distressing today when
we come to think of the fact that
there are Jo few being enlisted for

There'll be noire and hurry and
rustling oat at the regular circus
grounds next Wednesday morning.
There'll be the unpacking of trunks
in the" dressing room. There'll be
the wild waving of other trunks in the
menagerie "top" where the elephants
are quartered. There'll be hurrying
"raxorbacks" and seat men and
gaudy wagons with gilt and glitter
sprinkled all over them. There'll be
horses and camels and tigers and
leopards and flags and cook-houses
add excitement, and lions with deep
voices, and?
But why not come to the point?
For next Wednesday there bobs into
the life of Ahoskians for a one day's
stay, the Sparks Big Circus. That's
the reason that Wednesday morning
there will wind through the downtown
streets the long twisting lines of
painted wagons, the troops of horses,
the strung out flies of elephants,
through the principal downtown
streets of the business section^ the
inevitable parade
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock
there will begin the first of the two
performances in which the announcer
will call forth the acts that will range |
all the way from the great Charbino
who roller skates on his dome from
the top of the tent, to the star equest
riennes of the circus?Flora Bedini
and Bessie Hollis. Both so wonder
ful that they rival Charbino as an!
attraction. And of course there'll |
be the thirty clowns, and the Sparks
dancing horses, two herds of perform-j
ing elephants, acrobatic seals and sea
lions, pigs who shoot the chutes, and
all that sort of thing. And besides?
there'll be the acrobats and the aeria
lists and the cortortionists, and?
and? the parade. More than that,
the parade will be of wondorous
length.
