DISTRICT SECRETARY'S REPORT The greatest army of volunteer workers in Christendom is the-army of Sunday School workers. Witness them week by week. without thought of pay or remuneration, investing time, money, health, and strength, mind and soul, oftentimes without receiving a word of appreciation; ever cheerfully plod- ding on, cheerfully greeting their scholars with a smile; often handicapped with poor equipment and accommodation; frequently unsupported y the community or parents. Yet these heroic workers have sent forth leaders in church and State, including such a man as Lloyd George. Remembering this, we present the statistical report of the District. It is not ether what could be desired. However, let us remember that the best results--individual development in Christian character, and the silentjinfluence on church and state--cannot be tabulated. Moseovdr. if there is blame to be attached, the greater portion must be placed on those who are doing nothing for the great cause; but are even willing whole burden of the seligious training of their 1oulders of others. : * as the Sunday School Boards of Management are concerfied we know they will accept the facts presented with readiness, and will be glad to learn, as nearly as figures can tell, wherein lies our strength or weakness. ; : The first objective of the "Sunday School is--"To win every available member of the community to the Sunday Schoo)» How are we succeedi umber of preaching places in the District--30.
