-The firm question to l?e ?****?
I* "What in u Workers ? ounctl .
The following In the lieni deflut
tion 1 know: First. It is a
of all teachers and workers In 'u
Sunday School; second. it w ?
place where failures are frnnhb
faced; third. It la a place where
plauH are made for the future, ho
the name failures will not be made
the aecoud time; fourth. It i* a
place where the Sunday School ad
ministration becomes a democrat
ic proposition Instead of an auto
cratic proposition. Dr. Marion
Lawrence. who was known
throughout the world as tno
prince of Sunday School workci.
used to say thut a workers coun
cil was to the Sunday School
what a coaling station and walei
tauk were to a train
"The second question that is us
ually asked about a workers* coun
cil Is 'When and how often does
It meet?' The days of the week
aud the hour of the meeting l> en
tirely a local matter, and should
he decided upon in the light ?jf lo
cal conditions. The meetings
ahould be held at least once a
m?'The third question Is. "What
kind of program should bo tarried
out in workers' meetings!' Many
of the most successful schools be
gin the meetings with supper, and
the supper Is usually paid for out
Kof a fund arranged for the pur
pose. The programs of work con
sists of u general meeting In which
all teachers and workers take
pari, and in the large schools a
part of the time Is devoted to de
partmental conference*. In the
departmental meeting*, the spe
cial problems of the department
are dlscudfed. In the general
part of the program there would
be such Hems as reports from the
treasurer, the general secretary,
from committees appointed for spe
cial work, and bo on. There
would also be time tor recommen
dations, a few words from the
pastor, and any special mutter that
needed consideration.
"The rules for having u success
ful workers' council are very sim
ple and are as follows: Itegln on
time, stop on time, have a defi
nite program, stick to the sub
ject. Insist ou brevity, and use all
the people possible.
Continuing his series of address
es on work with young people In
Ihe Sunday School and other
church organisations. Rev. Walter
(Jetty, of Richmond. Va , spoke on
the theme, "Young l'eoplc Or
ganized for Religious Education."
oaylng :
"This is a most vital question,
for If young jwoplo are to mea
sure up to this great day. If they
are lo live the four-fold life, they
must have some form of organiza
tion.
"Is the Church organized for
Religious Education? Is youth
jofgniitred? In ev*ry field of en

operation. correlation and consol
idation Is this the spirit among
our people, or have we so many
'Organizations that none of theui

wants to play the game together.

awaiting for the Church to offer
that type of organization that will

Al the present time the Young
