ADDRESSES BY LEADING WORKERS The Home Department and Other Topics Discussed. PROGRAM FOR TODAY The-second session of the annual con- vention of the Sunday School Association of the District of Columbia, which com- fl Have just begun and‘edited on the all places where books are sold Sth THOUSAND PRINTING BIRD NEIGHBORS menced Monday evening at the New York || Avenue Presbyterian Church, Rov. Dr, Wallace Radcliffe, pastor, was held yester- day afternoon, beginning at 3 o'clock. After devotional exercises, conducted by Rev. J. C. Bowers, Mr. Marion Lawrence of Toledo, ‘Ohio, illustrated how a “Normal Lesson” should be taught. ‘The address of the occasion was delivered by Mrs. William Redin Woodward of this elty, whose subject was “The Home De- partment.’ Mrs. Woodward said, in part: “In speaking of this latest development of Sunday school work, the home depart- ment, I will try to answer some of the questions which are asked about it, as about every new invention of the day. “First, What is it? It is the provision we make for the study of the lesson by every one not able to attend the Sunday school. That sounds very simple, but think for a moment of its far-reaching possibilities. “Our first members are the parents and grandparents of the Sunday sohool schol- ars; then the sisters and brothers, aunts Mr. Lawrence. and uncles join; the husbands or wives, the bearder, and, as we say in Washington, the roomer; the next-door neighbor; the ac- quaintance you meet while buying a loaf of bread at the grocery; the missionary, home for a rest, who wants to keep in touch vith the school where she recelved such a warm welcome; the busy Salvation Army officer, who feels the need of a regular course of Bible study; old folks, whose ung folks have drifted Into other churches, and who used to go to Sunday school in dear old Wesley. Other Contributions, “Then a member spends a summer va- cation in some out-of-the-way village of the eastern shore, and brings a list of peo- ple who have no Sunday school privileges, and would like to belong somewhere. Per- haps it includes the pastor of the little church who hopes to get a broader out- leok. Do you begin to see the scope of our work? On our mailing list we have ad- dresses at the Deaconess Home, the Home for the Aged in Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Arkansas. Sometimes our members wander as far as California, and if in the early days of our organization we had used the cards giving the readings for the year _we should now, probably, follow some to Japan. For some time a quarterly leaf and card went regularly to the Wash- ington jail. How do we work it? Hand picking Is the best way to get membcrs—personal invitation, and a refusal to take ‘No’ as a final answer, if there is hesitation at first. “At one time we spoke of it in church, and distributed slips on which application for membership could be made. Before the first Sunday of each quarter we send to each one the new report card and the lesson helps used by the school, co ting: of the home reading leaflets, with brief notes of the Interrational Bible Reading Association, and a sma!l folder prepared by our superintendent, containing sugges- tions on the study of each lesson. At the beginning of the year the card containing the list of readings for the whole year is added. “Our aim in all departments is to make the Bible its own commentary, and there are probably many of the members who, by having their attention drawn to the home readings, spend much more than the required half hour in the study of the Word. Notices of special services in the Sunday school are, of course, sent to the members uf the home department, and they receive envelopes if any collection is to be taken; but they have no fees to pay, as expenses are met from the general Sun- Mr. Hamma. day school fund, which is raised by the ehtrch in an annual collection, and no stress is laid on offerings, as we wish to avoid as much as possible the idea that we take their names in order to increase our receipis. Several, however, give regularly, and many others when they can, to the missionary collection, and at the monthly meeting of the home departments seldom fail to make some report. Where There is No Previsto “We have members belcnging to other churches, where there is no such provision for. them, or where there was none at the time when they joined us, tut we always euggest their joining in their own church, if possible, and are heartily glad to have them withdraw to enter into active work in thelr own Sunday school, having been led to ‘take an interest in the lessons throtigh their connection with us. “3. Does it pay? Sometimes the super- intendent begins to think that it does not. Visitors neglect to visit, and report cards will fail to appear for months. One of the hardest tasks is to get people to under- stand that it is not merely a desire to shelve people, especially those who are ex- tremely irregular in attendance at Sunday school on account of sickness or home duties. F “But just when it seemg as if some names must be dropped, we meet one of those very members and are greeted with: ‘You don’t know what a comfort that Bible study has been through all these days of worry,’ and one letter in the mail brings the word: ‘I enjoy the lessons very much.’ An Applicant for Work, “A member of -my home department came to see me @ week or two ago about some missionary work: ‘I feel that I want to do it,’ she said, ‘for in the home read- ing this morning was the passage, ‘How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet WITH 51 SUPERB FULL PAGE PICTURES IN COLOR, TE: r CRRTRODUCHIO. the highest authority on this subject, who has also read and annotated the XT BY NELTJE BLANCHAN, John Burronghs, text, sass: OF THEM LIFE SIZE.

And then we talked it over. Nowadays we speak of the hands that labor and are toilworn, but then it was the strong, well-developed feet, showing by the travel stains how they had passtd over rough and hilly places to bring the good news; no wonder it was a joy to bathe them with their tears and anoint them with the most fragrant ointinent. “The home department seems just the place where we may say: “Take my feet and let them be, Swift and beautiful for Thee.’ ” The session closed with a conference on Sunday school work, conducted by Mr. Lawrence. Coming Sanday School. The evening session was preceded by a song service, at which President Bristow presided. After devotional exercises by Rev. Dr. Bittinger, Mr. Lawrence made an address on ‘'The Coming Sunday School.” He said the coming Sunday school will never get here, for when the present ideals are attained there will be other and higher methods which the advanced workers will wish to rise to. The Sunday school army is the greatest numerically in the world, there being 24,000,000 names enrolled under its banner, of whom about two-thirds study the same lesson each Sunday. The Sunday school popularizes the Bible, unites denominations, unites nations, is an evan- gelizing agency and is the greatest power cn earth. It is not, and is not to be, a “mill stone,” nor an institution, nor a chil- dren's church, nor a social club, nor yet the nursery of the church. It is, however, a “Bible studying service for the church. “To be successful in the highest degree the Sunday school must have a building of its own—large, convenient, beautiful, with department rooms, library rooms, a teachers’ retreat, reading room, public hall, gSymnasium, aimuser.ent rooms, always open, and a bicycle room. Its seating should be adapted for all. There should be special provision for the spectacle class. There should likewise be blackboards, maps, charts, globes, cabinets of woods, stones, garments, sand maps, blocks, pic- ture roils, papers, helps, music books, Bibles in the hands of all, and no bell. “Equipment does not make a good school any more than good tools make a mechan- ie or good books a schotar; but they are necessary for success. The Departments, “The departments of the Sunday school should consist of cradle roll, kindergarten, primary, juvenile, intermediate, young men’s, young women’s, senior, normal and home. There should be a trained su- perintendent and there should be trained teachers, all with diplomas and each pledg- ed to attend the teachers’ meeting. “Such a Sunday school will, indeed, be a school—a Bible school. All will center about the lesson. Its work will be mission- ury, temperance; it ,will be liberal to de- nominational boa: will give systemati- cally, will do house-tg-house visitation, keep biographic records, absentees will be always looked aftey; there will be social gatherings, will properjy observe festival days, send visitors to other schools, train its own teachers. 5. 5 “Its sessions will. be; prompt, spirited, spiritual, devotional, vigorous, strong and evangelistic. There, will be, further, @ cour- tesy committee, mygic, supplemental work, a decision day; it ‘Will’ be identified with organized work. « “The results will be better Bible students, @ more intelligent pew, It will be a re- cruiting station for preachers, missionaries, evangelists, and for a teplenished and in- vigorated church. ‘fhe’ school will have the recognition it deserves; it will be under- stood. - Scholars will know they are cared for. It will be the church; for the church will all be in it.” 3} Dr. Hamma’s Address. “The Land Testifying to the Book” was the subject of the address of Rev. Dr.°M. ‘W. Hamma of Altoona, Pa. In part, Dr. Hamma said: “In its external form, the Bible !s to a very large extent the recorded history of a distinct people, living in @ certain age end in @ specified country, under the special providence of the Almighty, in which are used the physical and human conditions present as the means.of giving utterance to its inherent truth. “The land of Palestine and its people, concerning which most of the Bible was written, were of such an extraordinary character as to render it the most peculiar figures beok, in its 1 and re ag parables, “Within the space of 150 milk 5 by les there are to be found nearly all the ex- FROM THE PINKERT 1} Gee oe +e.

In some plazes the vege- tation of the semi-tropics and tiat of the temperate zones are brought into such sur- prisingly close proximity that nature seems almost unnatural in her products. “Most striking and conclusive of all tes- timony which the land bears to the book is a certain class of prophecies, foretelling temporal destruction of a general, Cefinite or local character, which should come upen the people and their land in consequence of sin and disobedience. Of the definite ar.d exact fulfillment of these prophecies the land of Palestine stands forzh as tne swift and unchallenged witness. Its Mute Desolation. “The country itself, in its mute desolation, in every acre, stands as the material testt- mony of these judgment prophecies. The hills that once were terraced from base to summit, and covered with vineyards and orchards, are now but pyramidal piles, whose rocks everywhere protrude like the naked knees of poverty. The valleys, once so rich in their native harvests, are for the most part deserted and left as roaming grounds to the plundering Bedouin. Their Villages, if marked at all, present a few heaps of broken stones to tell of the dead past in which they lie buried. All these borders that once were fields of industry and marts of commerce and dwelling place of a great people, whose God was the Lord, are like unto a desert and well nigh silent as the grave. “When one reads of the cities in the days of their prosperity it is not possible to realize that they should be so completely brought to naught in response to these prophetic woes uttered by Christ. “A$ to the temple, against which the Savior uttered the same predictions, it was doomed to the same overthrow, and the place ‘where it stood recalls forever the judgment words: ‘There shali not be left one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.’ Under Its Own Greatness, “When that old world, falling under its ¢wn greatness and sleeping .beneath the debris of its perished civilizations, shall once have told the full measure of its his- tories, the land will fit into the divine book like the lost key into its own lock. When once the tottering arch, the broken column, the fallen wall, the buried palaces of forgotten kings, the crumbled temples of forgotten gods, and the tablets of clay and stone and brass, that were graven when man was young, shall have all told their secrets, there will be such an au- thenttcation of the Bible that it will seem to men that these ancient people and em- pires had come and gone, with apparently no other mission than, in some great world crisis of doubt, to rise from their graves and bear testimony to the truth of the Scriptures of God. “May we not venture to believe also that the sacred land of Palestine itself, whic. has been so thoroughly written into the Bible, in all its peculiarities, has been al- lowed by Providence to remain practically unchanged for so many centuries in order that it might be the abiding and incontro- vertible witness of the truth of the Bible?” During the evening Miss Kimball sang a solo. The solo of the previous evening was rendered by Miss Bertha Bristow. The Final Meetings.

Secretary Alger has written to the citi- zens’ Klondike committee of Tacoma, Wash., regarding the order for a military reservation in Alaska. This committee wanted to know how persons seeking bus!- ness locations on the reservation should proceed, and expr doubts as to the feasibility of the reservation. Secretary Alger refers the committee to the regula- tions issued November 11, and adds: “One of the purposes of the government in declaring the reservation is to prevent monopoly instead of fostering tt. “The power of permanently regulating the disposition and use of the public do- main in Alaska is vested in Congress, ani, pending legislation, the occupation of lc cations by troops in that country, and the setting aside of military reservations, as an Incident to such occupation, are solely in the interests of law and order, and the safety and welfare of the native and in- coming population. ——_——e-___— A New Line to the Ocea The Queen Anne Railroad Company Mon- day concluded a traffic arrangement with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, by which its traius will be run through from Lewes, Del., to Rehoboth Beach, over the tracks of the Pennsylvania upon the com- pletion of the road to Lewes.
