James I Aitheran Church, Came to i Close Friday Night. ATTENDANCE GOOD AT ALL SESSIONS Addresses by Miss Magee and Messrs. Sims and Albert son Featured All Sessions of the Institute. 'losing sessions of the Cshnrnu County Sunday School Institute, which was held in St. James Lutheran Church of this city. Wednesday. Thursday ami Friday, were held Friday afternoon and evening. Uirge emails, isimiswed of pastors. Sunday School Superintendents and teachers, ami other Interested isrsons. i attended the closing sessions. Interest in the Institute having increased each day. official declare much good was accomplished hy the Institute. Tlie last sessions were featured hy addresses by Miss Daisy Magee, Mr. K. T. Alliertson and Mr. IX W. Sims, who conducted the Institute, and who were' heard daily with great interest. Tlie address of Miss Daisy Magee Friday afternoon on "Worship in the Sunday School" was Interesting and contained many m-actlcnl suggestions for Itetteflng the Sunday school. In speaking on this topic .Miss Magee de riiired that "worship Is the heart of religion, and men worship because they have n religious nature." She further stated tbitf worship Is not an emotion but nn act of the will nt which time tlx) soul of man communes with his Creator. In outlining the subject the speak er stressed two ty)es of worship in dividual worship when each Individ ual worships alone with his God, and social worship when Individuals meet together and worship in a group, whloh serves to strengthen individual worship. "There nre certain elements of wor ship," tlie speaker stated, "that are used in ihc Sunday school. Perhaps more people worship tbrongh music than nay other element. Music should lie good and express devotion of pray yuyaK.d.JMWI''-;.IlM' spiiiftrai ttrffT wnsrmi. "-ne sptnniat expresses the holiest emotions of the soul the sensual npiieals to tlie phys ical iHTSon. Only spiritual music should he used in worship. "Prayer is another element of wor ship. Worship is the heart of worship". The prayers of the Sun ihiv Kehool should lie short and link od with the worship theme. Sentence, individual and song prayers may he used. "No worship program is complete without scripture. The scripture may be used to illustrate the theme or us a stntemeut of faith.. Different methods may lie used, such us reading respons ively, in unison or in groups. Some times the scripture may lie recited. "The offering should lie made n imrt, of the worship. In urder to do this each member of the Sunday school should know the purpose of the offer ing and give in a worshipful spirit. An offering song or prayer increasses the spirit of worship. This part 'of the worship should be a part of the de partmental or class program. "The teaching element in worship should be a irt of the departmental or class' program. "The teaching element in worship must he subordinate, but. nevertheless, it may he used. ,The teaching may be done by tin address, a song, a picture. a story or a poem. "In order to make the worship ef fective there should be a theme and all elements co-related so as to terminate in an exquisite whole, a great climax of worship. There are certain condi tions for worship in the Sunday schisii which muy lie outlined as follows: (1) Beautiful plnce; (2) A reverent atmosphere; (3) A worshipful spirit on the part of the teaher." In a very practical way Mr. Albeit aon outlined some of the reasons why we are twuble to hold the boys in the Sunday school of today. He asserted that the most outstanding reason why they nre not staying in the schools longer is because they are so few men who are seriously taking the tasks of maintaining the Sunday schools and groups in our Churches. He asserted further that "many of our churches- have not provided udequate V'Hee" 'or the boys which they can call their own. The speaker asserted further that boys are very sensitive, and rte spond as no other animal to the atten tion of adults, but one thing that stirs tlie soul of u lad is a task that is really a test of his ability to assume It and really jierfonn it in a way that shall appeal t,o the respect of his eld ers. Our boys everywhere' have dem onstrated their ability to assume re- stmnslbtlity they have won our wars:' cleared our forests; drain our swamps; they can demonstrate their ability to build into a church program the ideals that shall lie compelling to their lei lows, with adequate organisations, which are outlined hy every leading Proteefanl body. Our boys may lie as signed resvonslbillttes which shall tie (ben to Hie churches and build them into the idejils for which the church stands. A Problem Solving Period," con ducted by Mr. SimS, was another fea ture of this session. The Sunday school teachers who were present at the evening service (Continued on Page Three).
