Saturday night ana bunaay. $rf
Midoleti.n was introduced by Mr. K
.... snnntur in ft verv charming man
ner lie took for r-is subject the
"Standard of Excellence in Southern
Baptist Sunday Schools", and Sun.
day morning at the regular service
hour he took for his subject "Aaron
h Hnr " while Sunday D. m. He
handled "The Teachers That Daniel
Saw" in a masterly way. We do
not attempt to give a complete re
port of his splendid addresses for
we were so Dusy listening u u
sorbing it till we didn't have time to
take notes of it. He said in part at
the night service that one essential
to the standard of excellence was
that the Sunday school should be
perennial, that it should be in session
every Sunday in the year . He de
clared that the farmers did not go
into winter quarters, neither does any
progressive man, that the spring
irogs, toads, snakes and terrapins
and a few Sunday schools went into
winter quarters. If the farmers and
men of all professions work the year
around, then why should the Sun
day school not be "open the year
around He said that tne capust
Sunday schools should use Baptist lit
erature only. The most do this and
yet there are some that use some
sort of slush that is neither fit for
Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, nor
any denomination that believes the
Christian belief, and that Sunday
schools should be under church con
trol, that this would draw more
church members into the Sunday
school .He said that some people
thought that the Sunday school was
a place for "kids". While it was a
place for children, but more for
grown folks to come and instruct the
children and instill into their minds
pure and loving principles of Chris,
tianity. Bibles should be used in the
Sunday school declared the speaker.
Quarterlies are fine things,,' should
be studied at home along with the
Bible, but when Sunday comes around
you should leave the quarterly at
home and carry your Bible to Sun
day school . He also explained the
normal courses for the teachers and
all who feel that they should teach.
He declared that no teacher .could
efficiently teach a class until he
knew how to carry on this important
work. We .spend thousands of dol
lars every year in training our pub
lic day school teachers, but how
much do we spend in training the
Sunday school teacher to teach God's
word in the class? And greatest of1
all, evangelism should be emphasiz-i
ed in the class. He related a very
striking incident as a result of evan
gelism in the class, that the Dastor
was considering the series of meet
ings and after taking a careful study
oi wnat tne school at his church was
doing he didn't believe that the meet
ings were necessary, so he took a
canvass of the Sunday school body
to find out who the unconverted were
atirl at regular service gave them a
public invitation accept Christ and
ereiy unconverted young and old
came and took a stand for Christ.
Su-.day morning he again made a
splendid address, and after looking
over -the Sunday school he offered
some very timely suggestions. He
also explained the grading system
and said it would play a great part
in stopping the great' leakage which
is so common among the intermed
iate grades. He explained the
teachers' meetings, or the workers'
council, and isaid that we snpnrl
thousands of dollars to prepare and
conauct tr.e meetings for our day
school teachers, and why not a coun
cil where our teachers can tret to
gether and discuss the methods how
A POSITIVE STATEMENT
BY A BIG BUSINESS MAN
"Neglect of Apparently Unimportant
Conditions Wrecks Many a Healthy
Growing Business"
W. 3. ELKIN, JR.
a prominent druggist of Atlanta, Ga.,
is authority for the above positive state
ment. In explaining this statement he
asked '""vo questions and' offered one
suggestion.
If a growing healthy business turns
and begins to run down hill, what Is
the condition of the owner's health?
"Almost always, unusually bad.
What was the first cause of his poor
health? Constipation.
This constipation could have been
avoided by taking Rexall Orderlies oc
casionally. They are a pleasant candy
tablet laxative which can be nsed by
men, women or children with the best
results.
