the Sunday school of this church
ha* steadily pushed forward for the past
Ave years. Each year an advance step
haa been taken in some direction. Sunday,

Park Church also has under its control
a Sunday school in the town of Edgewood,
one mile away. Just a little more

a lot in Edgewood for Ave hundred dollars
and built a temporary structure for
about the same amount. This lot, situated
near the corner of Whiteford avenue

for a permanent church. The first of
October, 1908, the Sunday school, under

about thirty-five. Now, the average attendance
is between eighty and ninety.
Sunday, October 3, was their Rally Day
and also the anniversary of their beginning,
the attendance reached one hundred
and eighty-one, and the offering,
three dollars and twenty cents. During
the present week the work at that point
is being very much encouraged by the
