"The uniform lesson system was edooted In ISITi. but it went all to pieces. it failed In (lvn years. The cause of the failure was that the different denominations asked the American Sunday School I'nlon to allow them to put their own Interpre tations on the Sunday school lessons, and this the American union re fused to do. This was the be- ginning of the organization of the Sun-, day school unions of the various d nominations.
