Excerpt from The School of the Church: Its Pre-Eminent Place and Purpose This book was written in recognition and under the impulse of the greatness and glory Of Sunday school teaching. It holds in contemplation some of the mightiest things of the kingdom and counts this school pre-eminent in the educational system. Remarkable indeed has been the improvement in Sunday school method and organization, in equipment and management. But While the school has become powerful in organic life and outreach of efficiency, its mission remains unchanged, though the perspective is larger and its energies move with statelier and more commanding sweep. Its text-book, its purpose and aim, its glorious course of instruction in revealed truth and redemptive grace these remain unchanged through the changing years. The open Bible and the uplift of the cross must hold with increasing emphasis the center of Sunday school life and effort, of efficiency and conquest.
