Mount Bethel.
Since I have acquired a reputa
tion tussinness I suppose I
would better try to live up to io
it, and since I have been compar
atively quiet for some time I will
again speak out. This time it is
the growing popularity of the
Sunday singing and its withering
effects upon all the Sunday schools
who participate in them. We
know one or two who do not fol
low after them and it is noticeable
that they hold a constant good
record attendance and a good live
interest in the work. No indeed
I do not expect to abolish the Sun
day singing. It usually requires
a long time and a host of strong
minded men and women to abolish
most crying qvils. We have only
ode day in seven in which to gath
er young and old alike to the
study of the Word. We would
look queer indeed gathering to
gether regularly for this work on
any other day than Sunday, while
it would be perfectly all right to
announce a singing any time. It
is a great temptation to young and
old alike to attend these singings,
for they are grand and uplifting
occasions, but not to be compared
in importance to the Sunday
school. There are only very few
who will stand loyally by their
Sunday school, and it is refresh
ing to hear some member of your
church remark, “your Sunday
school is not interesting enough
to hold the young people.” Why,
-don’t you know that most people,
young and old, much prefer to sit
languidly by and allow themselves
to be entertained than to put forth
their energies in an honest effort
to build up a Sunday school, or to
•exert their minds to a deep study
of the Word, thinking we will do
that sometime, forgetting that the
time is now ? Most of us are
vastly ignorant of the Scriptures.
It is so very important that we
study and teach our children the
law of God. Show me a member
of any one of the Sunday schools
who attend those singings who
can even recite a half dozen
Psalms, or a chapter or two of
Holy Writ, or quote scr pture in
telligently, much less tell you
where to find any passage. Next
time you call your roll ask each
member to resoond with a verse
from the Bible unexpectedly.
When I was young it was my
priviliege to attend Presbyterian
Sunday schools, where I was
taught the Catechism, and it has
been of great benefit to me ail my
life. Ask the children about the
Catechism now and they will
probably ask you if it is something
good to eat. What sort of future
-can we anticiprte for children
thus ignorant r Now do please
let’s all work earnestly together
for the very best Sunday school
we have ever had, allowing sing
ings to take second place for a
time.
