The biggest ttilnK tn the church
world is the Sunday school.
Such wae statement made by one
of the world's leading brains as re
ported by Mr. Bullock lit the report
of the convention lately held by lay
men of the church at Waco, to which
convention Mr. Bullock and .lames
Forsyth were delegate*. Kach re-
ported the reaullM of this trip to the
convention at the night service at thei
Presbyterian church. A large audience
was present and listened with Intense
Interest to the report. The pastor
himself taking his scat In the congre-
gation, turning his pulpit over to
these laymen. The singing at the
service was line. Bcacutiful solos
being rendered by Miss Margaret
EJrwln and Mr. Chapman, two singers
of whom McKinney may well feel
proud. Among other things It was
stated that the Sunday school was the
strongest arin of the church, the
Ktarting place of Christian activities,
in many future lives. For that reason
if for no other the Sunday school
should over receive the first thought
■ t' thf church and congregations, for
from it will come the brains and
thought, that will lead the world in
Christian thought and living. An-
other interesting thought dwelt on
was from the address of Mr. Camp-
bell White, a man who has spent ten
I yearn In church work in India. The
Uiuestion was asked by him, "What,
bus the church a right to expect of lti
metiiBers? The lirst thought express-
ed as his answer was loyalty to Its
pastor. No pastor can do his best in
any church single-handed. If his
work is to tell, he must have the help
;of his officers and members at large.
In other words they must all be of
i ne accord. The work is too ureal
for any pastor to attempt single-hand-
ed he Is ever willing to lead if he can
Just rely on bis inembershl pto follow.
A united church and i nlted effort
alone can accomplish God's purpose
in any church, that of bringing otTfrrs
into tho kingdom. cither things
touched on was attendance at church.
The pastor has a right to expect his
membership at least to he present af
the services of the church. Again
financial support must be accorded.
Thut will not be hard, however, if
your church ac-
is the leading
a lost world to
it with out
its members,

What is vour purpose as a christian?

self. That, to say the least, Is rat bet
a selfish motive. That should not be

the kingdom. Wluit did He say. Oo
