Boagias Baptist Church Notes.
By alexis d. kendrick, Pastor.
The Sunday School Teachers
will begin this week at the regu
lar weekly meeting Saturday
afternoon, at the pastorium, a
course in Normal Sunday School
Training, using as a text book,
“Revised Normal Lessons,” by
Jesse Lyman Hurlbut. This text
book will be supplemented with
other books on Sunday School
work. The pastor will teach the
Normal Studies, and for a few
weeks, Col. Briggs will direct
the regular Sunday School lesson
teaching. We hope to have all
of our teachers take the Normal
course so that in the near future
every teacher will have been
trained in Normal Sunday School
Work. In the regular Sunday
School, Mrs. Dr. Whipple, will
teach a Normal Sunday School
class, usings the text book the
same as is used in the teachers
meeting. This new phase of our
work will do much to provide
the best teachers possible to take
charge of the teaching of our
school.
The Pastor’s Training Class of
children are doing some good
Bible Studying every Monday
afternoon. We would bke to have
fifty children in this class.

Restoration of Petor,” which
