Pointers on How To Conduct a Sunday School From a Report of the Georgia State Sunday School Con vention, Held at Milledgeville, April 14th-16th. The opening address at the Georgia State Sunday School Convention, held at Milledgeville, April 14th, 15th and 16th was made by Rev. J R. Sevier, of Augusta, on Convention theme, “Ef ficiency. Mr. Sevier says—“study your situation, and apply the remedy suggested; ‘For him that knoweth to do good, and doeth It not. to him it is a Hin.’" He impplored teachers to hold onto their scholars, keep them in Sun day school, greet them, and make them welcome. He also said that* th** Sunday schools should have efficient superintendents, men centered in Christ. Mr. Owen Johnson, of Marietta, made a very interesting talk on “The Efficient Sunday School." “The Sun day school of today," he said, “is wis'T than it was a generation ago. Improve on your method: have Sunday school and in* at your place all the year round. Give the children for their good les sons. when they deserve it. and for their collection. Let them know that know works, or their bad. and that you appreciate them. Teachers must be on time, and set the example. See that the children study their lessons. Teachers should meet for training." “On Time All the Time.” One of the most Important talks of the Convention was made by Mr. Win. Brown, Chicago. 111., superintendent Mission Department of International Sunday School Association, the sub ject of which was "On Time All the Time." He suid, “Start on time, have a program, stay on the track, keep going, don’t take things too leisurely, have skilled officers—officers in their places on time, and who are depend able workers." Miss Daisy Magee. Elementary Su perintendent of the Georgia Sunday School Association, gave a very in structive talk on the “Elementary Di vision." She laid great stress on the organization of a cradle roll. “Get all the babies in the community on the Cradle Roll, she said. “Have an active superintendent In charge of the Ele mentary Division, who will visit the homes in time of sorrow, in times of gladness, and for friendly calls. Send out invitations the babies for special occasions. The Cradle Roll has a great influence on the lives of the older people. Heginniners should be three, four and five years of age; pri mary, six, seven and eight years: the juniors, nine, ten, eleven and twelve years. Have small classes and see that the teachers are not Interrupted, and that they have proper equipment, sep arate rooms for each class, pictures for the children, and blackboards, for seventy-five per cent of all we learn comes through the eye. Give the chil dren songs with proper words and words and rnuslc —have them memor ize the songs." Mr. II H.

T.et them decorate, paint and make repairs on the church. Plant flowers, distrib ute same to the sick, and keep in per sonal touch with them.” The talk on the Adult division was made by Mr. W. A. Brown, of Chicago, and was principally along the line of organization. The officers of the association read full reports of the year's work, which was very satisfactory. Boy Scout Movement. The Boy Scout movement as an aid to Sunday school work was introduced by Mr. John D. Walker, of Sparta. Mr. Walker and thirty-five of his boy scouts hiked from Sparta to Milledge ville for the convention, the youngest boy in the crowd being seven years of age The motto of the Boy Scouts is “To Do a Good Turn Daily.” The oath of the Boy Scouts is, “On M.v Honor I Will Do My Best to Do My Duty to My God, and Keep Myself Morally Straight. Physically Strong and Mentally Awake.” The twelve qualifications of the Boy Scouts are to he Courteous, Brave, Loyal. Trust worthy, Clean, Obedient, Friendly, Cheerful, Kind. Helpful, Thrifty and I.oving. The object Is to build char acter, make of them good citizens, and make them ashamed of their mean ness teach them the history of the National Fluff, and the respect due it. A chart over the chancel of the Con vention Hall was almost overwhelm ing. On the nine hundred delegates pres ent it made a profound impression. Slightly over-one fifth of the chart's space wan white, nearly four-fifths black. This meant that 322,166 of Georgia’s white people are enrolled in Sunday school and that 1,202,495 are not. • In other words, seventy-eight and four fifth per cent of our own color have no relation the Sunday school, while twenty-one. and one-fourth per cent have such membership. Here is a home mission challenge. The Sunday schools of the state were asked to contribute towards car rying on this work, and we pledged St. I,uke for ten dollars.

PASTOR HIMSELF PRESENT. Touching Film of Abraham's Sacrifice Furnished Text For Famous New Yorker’s Diecourse— Hearte Swelled and Eyes Moistened Under the Mes sage From the Book—What Hat Been Regarded ae a Cruel Fanaticism Shown to Be a Divinely Beautiful Lesson on Things to Come. WjML*', , , jBSSj I PASTOR. gUSSELL) Atlanta,Ga.,April | 26.—Pastor Russell presented his fa mous Photo-Dra ma of Creation to a highly appreci ative audience In the Atlanta The atre today. Thetouchingfllm of Abraham’s great sacrifice furnished the basis of the Pastor’s discourse. Hearts filled and tyes became moist as the instructive message was delivered. What has been regarded by many as a cruel fanaticism was pointed out by the famous New Yorker as Divinely ar ranged and as teaching a most beauti ful and significant lesson respecting the sacrifice of the anti-typlcal Isaac— namely, Christ nnd “the Church, which Is Ills Body.” Pastor Russell's text was, "If ye bo Christ's, then are ye Abraham's Seed and heirs according to the Promise" (Galatians 3:29). The Pastor began by demonstrating from Scripture that God calls our pres ent condition a cursed one, that man kind are under the curse of death, and that the only wny by which the world can come under God's blessing Is by the bringing In of a new condition And so when God said to Abraham, “In thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed,” He meant that this Seed would roll away the curse of death and roll In the bleßsing of life in the full sense upon humanity. Then the Pastor pointed out that the Logos left the Heavenly courts and became a liu.t.an being—taking a low er nature than Ve had before—and was born of the stock of Abraham, in order to become the promised Seed which WBB to roll away the curse of death. He next showed why Jesus, accord Ing to the flesh, could not be Messiah, the promised Seed. Even in His per fection the Man Jesus could have done nothing more for the world than to guide many into happier conditions. He could not have been the great Deliver er who was to bless all the families of earth—the dead as well as the living. How Je.ua Became the Meseiah. The Pastor explained how Jesus be came the Messiah when He was bap tized of John at Jordan. He showed that the water baptism was only the of the real baptism which took place there; und to support his claim he quoted the prophetic statement re specting Jesus. “Lo, I come to do Thy will, O M.v God”—everything written in the Book. (Hebrews 10:5-9.) This statement means that our Lord, by becoming our Sacrifice, fulfilled the types and shadows of the Law Cove nant-various things that were not commandments at all. but that were foreshadowed by the Jewish sacrifices. For instance, the type showed that before there could be an atonement for sin. the bullock of the sin-offering must first be offered. Our Lord came to be the antityplca! Sin-offering, to present ills |>erfect human nature—all that He had—to give Himself In God's service as a sacrifice. The speaker threw a new light on the Apostle’s somewhat ambiguous statement, “He taketh away the first, that He may es tablish the second,” declaring that the correct thought is. He removes the type, that He may establish the anti type. Our Lord cume to %gt aside the type. This He did when He presented Him self a living Sacrifice at Jordau to do unreservedly the Father's will. This meant, primarily, our Lord’s death, for mankind were under the death sen tence pronounced upon their Father. Adßtn. Therefore. It was necessary that their Redeemer should taste death for mankind before He could have wherewith to satisfy the claims of Justice on Adam's behalf and ask for the release of Adam and his race. Next the Pastor explained that when our Lord cried ou the cross, "It is fin Ished!" He merely meant that His own personal work of the sacrifice of Film self was ended. Tlieu came His resur rectlon and His manifestation to His disciples, that they might know that He had riseu from the dead. He up peered snd showed Himself under dis ferent conditions to prove two thing* (1) That He was no longer dead; (2) That He was changed from wliat He bad been tiefore. The speaker dwell at length »i>on our laird's several maul festnttona after His resurrection. He pointed out that dutjng the forty days before our Lord's ascension He showed Himself only a fen minutes at a time, or perhaps an hour tn alt. and He np peared and disappeared In a way that no one but a spirit being eonld do. As fit. Peter <4 pn'nfritl ‘ “Do p»lt fl> USE HERALD WANT ADS. death In flesh, but quickened In spirit” —made alive a spirit being. Why Jssua Ascended on High. Our Lord's ascension, the Pastor af firmed, was another step in the Divine Plan for the salvation of the world. It was necessary, as St. Paul declared, that Jesus should appear In the pres ence of God and make presentation of His blood, the merit of His sacrifice, the value of His sacrificial death, that the Church might be Justified through His merit, and that the Father might give the Church the benefit of the cleansing which our Lord had accom plished for that class. Many have not noticed that the Scriptures limit our Lord’s work during the Gospel Age to the Church class which is being select ed, or elected, from amongst mankind. By faith this class are reconciled to God through the blood of Christ. These have an Advocate with the Father. Jesus Christ the Righteous, and may draw near to God with good courage, having their hearts sprinkled from any consciousness of evil. The Pastor then showed that after Jesus had ascended on High He was the Spiritual Seed of Abraham, who Is to bless ail the families of the earth. Primarily, He became the Seed of Abraham at Jordan, when He received the anointing and to n certain extent began the work of blessing. But when He had risen from the dead and had ascended to the Father He was the Perfected One. the complete Seed, so far as He Illmself was concerned. The speaker went on to demonstrate from Scripture, however, that from the beginning God had purposed, not only that Jesus should he the great Savior and Blesser of the world, hut that He i should have a company of associates, who are to bo sharers with Him in the great work of human uplift. These are I the Gospel Church, nnd are to be given glory, honor and Immortality in the j First Resurrection. Thus they also will become members of Abraham’s Spirit j ual Seed and share with Christ In His Millennial Kingdom. The speaker re peatedly quoted from Galatians 3. which he clnimed makes the matter very clear. The Development of the Church, Primarily, the Seed of Abraham, ns j God meant it, was the Spiritual Seed i —Christ and the Church on the Divine j plane. But there Is another Seed of Abrabnm. according to the flesh—the j Jews. These also will have a part in j the work of blessing. This fact, the ! Pastor declared, is set forth in Genesis i 22:16-18, where God told Abraham that ; his seed would be as the stars of heaven and as the sand of the seashore. The Pastor then explained how somi ; from both Jews and Gentiles have con ' stltuted this Spiritual Seed of Abrn ham. He showed that Jesus, the per j feet Man, gave Himself a Sacrifice, laying down His earthly rights; and that God begot lilm to a higher nature Being perfect. He needed no one tc j make good for Him. But with tin Church It is different Every membei must come to Him as the Sin-offering i the One who would cover their blem lshes and imperfections, and represent them as their Advocate. The early i Church were in the main of Jewish origin. These had found that they could not get everlasting life by keep ing the Law. Therefore, as St Paul declared, they must become dead ti lt nnd accept Christ as their Sin-offer ing, and consecrate themselves, tlial through His merit they might become members of the Anointed. The Gentiles never were under the Law Covenant, nnd therefore they came into Christ merely by the sur render of earthly things—presenting themselves living sacrifices, as did the Jews. In return for this complete con secretion, those who thus present themselves by faith—whether Jew or Gentile are begotten of the Holy Spirit to Heavenly hopes, aims and am bltions. Those who continue faithful to their covenant of sacrifice until death will receive a place in that Body of Christ, which is the Church In glory These walk by faith nnd not by sight. They develop the spirit of loyalty and obedience—loyalty to God, to righteous ness and the brethren, and obedience to God and the Golden Rule. Of this Christ company Jesus was the Head, the Apostles were the first members of the Body, nnd the faithful In Christ Jesus throughout the Gospel Age arc members In particular. The Natural Seed of Abraham. The Pastor next discussed the de acendauts of Abraham through Isnne the Jews. Briefly reviewing the his tory of that remarkable people, the speaker showed how God had blessed them in the past Their trying experl ences in Egypt, their Journey through the wilderness en route to Canaan, nnd the signs and wonders which accom panted them, taught the people vatu able lessons and strengthened their faith. For centuries they dwelt in the Promised Land under God's special care, sometimes chastised and some times blessed. But they never got the blessing sought under the terms of the Law Covenant—everlasting life. Their experiences, he pointed out, helped to develop In Israel a special class posses sing the faith of Abraham. Isaac. Jn cob and all the Prophets, nnd others not so prominent As yet j, the speaker claimed, this class have received nothing but God's premise that they shall have “a bettet resurrection." This they will get. he asserted, after the entire Church of Christ shall have been completed: for God has ordained that In all things Christ shall have the pre-eminence After the Spiritual Seed of Abraham shall have been glorified, then some thing will begin to be done for the nat oral seed The Pastor then showed that this class of Ancient Worthies will have much advantage over the rest of the world The Bible teaches that they will come •••< *•> human perfection In USE HERALD WANT ADS.
