A sermon was preached by Rev, Charles Herbert Young of Chi cago, the burden of his discourse be- ing the efforts that must be made to restore the Sunday school, In the cities he pictured the conditions as appalling. “While the country's pop ulation has doubled in a few years,” sald the speaker, “and the number of church communicants has increased 718,000, there has been an addition of only 139,000 to the Sunday school. In fifteen years, while the church has in creased in number 50 per cent the number of Sunday school members has fallen off 46 per cent. In one diocese the church has gone ahead 30 per cent and the Sunday school has dropped back 30 per cent. We have been living in a fool's paradise, which must be corrected, The complaint has been in some places that leaders are wanted. At any rate the church is at last awake to the necessity and stands back of all efforts being to stem the laxity in attendance. It is the biggest thing in the church world today, It is a man's work, calling for our and your best efforts.” Lessons More Interesting. Rev. Mr. Young then went on to show what had heen done to make lessons more interesting to children, from the kindergarten to the adult stage. He said there must be a defi- nite work for the Sunday school to do. Following the sermon and com- munion many of the clergy, delegates and others adjourned to Jacobs hall for dinner, Exercises were resumed in the afternoon.
