World Sunday School Teacher Trainers Have Wide Field. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Annett, repre- sentatives of the World Sunday School Association, are well known throughout India as teacher-training experts, who are constantly traveling from place to place that they may gather native workers and mission- aries and give instructions concern- ing Sunday school work and methods. Calicut was visited recently and a series of meetings were held there. Calicut is on the west coast of India and up to 1915 was the center of the Basel Mission fleld, but it is now the headquarters of the new Malabar Mission. Seventeen addresses were glven, and all had to be translated into the local dialect—Malayalam. At the request of the mission a complete scheme for all the religious educa- tional work was prepared by Mr. An- nett. This included recommended courses of lessons for the Sunday schools and day schools, as well as daily Bible readings for the homes. At Ootacamund a building was leased for a month that a well pre- pared program might be given to the leaders who attended. Some of the | preacher-students came from Ceylon, Burma and Assam. There were six lecture periods a day, including a de- votional meeting with a Bible talk, and a practice hour, when Mrs. Annett presided over model and criticism classes. When a survey was made concerning the number of schools under the cire of the members of that training class it was found the total was seventy-four Sunday schools with 4,410 scholars and thirty-three d: schools with a membership of From Ootacamund Mr. and Mrs. Annett journeyed seventy-two hours to Calcutta, where the next training school was conducted. —_— MISSION UNION TO MEET.

Yet, in spite of this evidence of revived interest in spiritual things, the lack of the church adefuately to recruit its clergy seems almost to reveal a loss in the power of organ- ized religion. These conditions hav- ing been disclosed, the task to which our commission is now applying it- self is to make an intensive study of the whole situation, ascertaining why these things are 80 and what can be done to remedy them. That is the big task which faces the church to- day.” B RECEPTION TO CONSUL. C. J. Spiker Is Speaker at Vermont Avenue Church. A reception to Clarence J.
