The | parish and school board will recom- {mend that all Lutheran congrega- | | tions in the United Lutheran Church | establish week-day schools for re- | liglous instruction, with an authorized | course of text books and a curricu- i lum prepared by the board. | During the two vears that have elapsed since the last convention of | {the United Lutheran Church the parish and church school board has | i been very active in the preparation of courses of study for Sunday hools and week-day religious schoolss which, meeting for a brief session at the close of the public| school day, instruct the children of | the congregation in the principles of Luthers faith. More than forty Sunday school periodicals are being ublished by the board, one of which, | utheran Young Folks,” has a weekly circulation of more than $0,000. Efforts are being made at the present time to provide literature other than English | for the eGrman and Slav Sunday schools. The purpose of the board Is to de- velop the educational work within the congregations, to organize week- day Christian training_ schools, to provide literature for the home and the schools and to prepare programs for summer assemblies, conventions, anniversaries and all festival occa- sions; in general, overseeing and pro- tecting the interests of the educa- tional~ department of the Lutheran Church . Among other recommendations, the boards will _ask the convention to urge every Lutheran Church to keep the Sunday school open throughout the entire twelve months and to ad- vocate the use of the Bible in class work in all grades above the pri- mary, thereby eliminating the lesson quarterly except for reference pur- poses. it asks for approval of aplan to furnish three hymn books for all Sunday schools, a regular service book, a_primary hymnal and a book of semi-popular modern hymns of meneral appeal. The board further will seek permission to organize Sun- day schools where needed in the vari- ous states and Canadian provinces and to establish local Sunday school institutes, conventions and training schools throughout the country. | BIBLE CLASS PLANS i MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Presbyterian Committees to Visit Every Home in Sherwood, Langdon and Woodridge.

In the two former quarters we ob- erved how God sought to check the 1 of both kingdoms by the minis- try of the prophets, who pointed out the peril that both nations faced and showed them the way of safety through a life of repentance and obe- dience to the word of the Lord. The result of their refusal to heed the voice of the prophets and obey God's W we saw in the overthrow of both nations and their deportation Babylon. Humanely speaking, the defeat and captivity of both nations by the Baby- 1 ans meant the extinction of the rews as a race and nation. Je- hovah planned diffcrently. He had a place for th g Jews to fill then, as He now, in working out His pro- tor the advancement of human. Behind the shadow, sorrows and uffering of the exile the cternal and verliving God kept watch over His chosen people and used the experi ences of their trials and tribulation i0 develop their character and trans- form their religious life so that He ould make them th for the whole world and fulfill | His promises to their fathers.
