is wishing the pastors, each pu to awj becoming met s4v County frbra kauri: JU»kiiigham^ ought to mark the greatest for ward step we have made yet. The following are some of the things we desire to accomplish for this year. 1. Our goal is set for 1,000 new Sunday school pupils by the time the School of Methods convenes in August. The Con vention at its business session last August voted to enter upon this campaign for new members. The Presbyterial Sunday school missionaries and the Secretaries of the District Conventions will be calling on you in the near fu ture to help you in any way they can to carry out your lo cal plans. Several of the schools have already entered upon this drive for new mem bers. May we urge that we beam early—even now—upon this task. 2. We should not be satis fied with anything less than 110 -Daily Vacation Bible Schools in the S* nod for the coming year. •That will be an increase of 30 over last year. In a very few weeks we will be sending let ters to the superintendents asking them to take up with their schools this question, so that we will know by March 31 all churches in the Synod that plan to have a Daily Vacation Bible School for the coming summer. This will enable us to make plans to give the maxi mum amount of service to each school in working out its pre liminary schedule. In the next article we will give the summary of the work done along this line last summer. 3. We are still hearing ech oes from the splendid session of our School of Methods held at Mary Potter School, Oxford, last Summer. This ought to be an incentive for us to begin early to make preparations for a larg er and even 'better meeting next August. I am sure when the Executive Committee meets toi formulate the program, as ini former years, it will be a pro gram that will be an improve ment on all previous ones. : ,4 We are positive that our delegation will be larger than last summer. *Our ^special effort will be to get m £ 178 schools sented. 4.

During the past half century, particularly in industry and agriculture, and | among the Nation’s gainfully | employed people, he has gone forward in satisfaction to him self and to the productive en richment of America. His con tinued progress will be an indus trial asset of value to all the people. It follows that it is to the interest of all, both employ ers and employees, to encourage the Negro group to continue its advancement in home life, in education, and in its respect for, and loyalty to, American prac tices and ideals. This means that it will be but fair and just to give the Negro worker an equal wage for his labor, and the permanent hope for promo tion and advancement com mensurate with the training, ef ficiency and skill which he puts into his* labor. He will thus be come capable of contributing a real share toward increasing out prosperity and wealth as a Na; tion. “He will become a larger buy er of American. products, reach ing beyond the mere necessities of life, rather than a-poorly paid- competitor, unable to . pur chase commodities and the. com fists of life, which increase the Nation’s business and create ar increased demand and supply.
