THE SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS As the following letter from a citizen of this town, which appeared last week in the Free Press, of Lon- don, Ont., contains suggestions per- tinent and applicable to all Sunday Schools, we earnestly request its thoughtful perusal by our readers. Having for many years been en- gaged in educational work up and down this vince, and as the Gen- eral Council of the United Church is now in session in your city, 1 beg leave to submit' some suggestions for their consideration: T-plead with them that the Bible ghall be reinstated in its posi- tion in our Sunday Schools. By this I mean that they will recommend through the proper channels that every pupil shall carry his very own Bible to and from Sunday School, just as he habitually and without re- minder carries his arithmetic and other textbooks to school during the week. In one city in Ontario, many years ago, the Board of Education made it a rule in their public schools that the children should. take their own Bible to school in their book bags. At the opening of school the teach- er. and pupils read the Bible to- ther, 'not. for comment or criti- cism, but for obsorption. The prin- cipal benefit from that course; which is still kept up, was that the.child- ren were trained in the synthetic use of the Bible is a crying need 'among church members to-day, and the analytic study. should alway be thé second step in the process, The method is very simple.

Arthur W. Beall. Whitby, September, 1930. GAVE FORCEFUL ADDRESS On Sunday last the Woman's Missionary Society of the United Church held their annual service. The speaker was Miss E. Jamieson, the General Secretary of the Domin- fon Board, who has just returned from the Jubilee celebration of the West African Mission. Miss Jamie- son briefly sketched the history of the work in Angola and then gave graphic word pictures of the Jubi- lee meetings. She told of.the beauty and solemnity of a Communion ser- vice, 'entirely ariuited by the na- tive pastors, at which fourteen thou- sand people were present; of the in- spiration of the gathering of "Af- rican Girls in Training," at which there were fifteen hundred African 'teen age girls, and of the boys' roup, to which there came two thousand black and brown lads. In fifty years one hundred thousand Africans have been won for Christ in Angola and tribes yet untouched by the Gospel are begging that teachers may be sent. One village of seven hundred Christians sent seventy-five of their number to rep- resent them at the. Jubilee Com- munion service, These had to walk for a week to reach their destina- tion, carrying all their food and cooking pots with them, but counted it a privilege that they had been chosen to go. Miss Jamieson return. ed to Canada vith a feeling of great joy that so much had been accomp- lished and with the earnest appeal from the field that the work be ex- tended to the non-Christian tribes. around. The solos of Miss Henderson and Mrs. Wm. Heard added much to the impressiveness of the service. ASHBURN ACTIVITIES Ashburn, Sept. 29.--Renl estate is booming around this community this fall.
