IN THE INTEREST OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF M'HENRY COUNTY. Have you seen the new graded work published by your own denominational publishing house, and do you know the new graded work is yielding practical results in some of the Sunday schools of our county 1 The writer has looked in on a half dozen primary departments in as many schools recently and if there is anyone he envies it is the superintendent of one of these. Does your church and Sunday school realize the value of that depart­ ment? Last year, at the suggestion of their pastor, the Richmond Congregational Sunday school gave out bulbs to those pupils who would accept the steward­ ship, the plants to be brought to Snn­ day school and church while in bloom. Elmer Standish, superintendent of adult class work for the county, would be glad to correspond with teachers or members of adult classes in regard to organizing and registering with the In ternationai Adult Class Movement State Secretary G. W. Miller, who was with us last summer, wishes to be able to report at the World's Sunday School convention at Washington May 19-24, the organ nation of 1000 new classes in Illinois. We ought to have ten of that number from McHenry county. The public school enrollment for Mc­ Henry county last year was reported as 0523. Counting adult classes, primary classes, and excluding that portion of the public school enrollment who receive biblical instructions in other than Sun­ day schools, how near to that number ought our Sunday schools to enroll? The work of religious instruction is left altogether too much to the Sunday school for us to do less than our best • 0. •Mk JOHKSailSOH. Miss Rena Michels WM a Mchenry caller Tueeday. Joe. F.
