All our Sunday Schools were well
attended Sunday and the beautiful
Psalm that we studied can hardly be
surpassed in all the Scriptures but
we need to learn that there is a cen
tral truth in every lesson that is just
as beautiful and helpful if we only
would Ret it out and we believe that
if those who do not attend could be
made to see it all our churches would
be filled to overflowing every Sunday.

of the corner stone will be Saturday
