not fjnd a home big enough,, and do. you think, they give up the Sunday School because th ere is, no more, room? No, indeed, boys and girls do not do things th a t way. W hat do. you suppose, they do? (Let the children make some sug gestions here,, and if your church grow out of the Sunday School, here is. a .splendid opportunity to. tell about it, and emphasize the. g reat work children can do for God.) Yes, they ta lk about building a Sunday School, and they get th e ir fath ers and. mothers interested, and the first thing you know th e re ,is a nice little church in th a t place,, so you see w hat wonderful things boys and girls can do for God. Some churches have, a bell th a t rings telling the people it is tim e for Sunday School or church. Do you know w hat the bell-says? Come! Come! Npw th ere are some boys and girls who have, never been to Sunday School, and when they h ear the church bell ringing it does not mean anything to them because thjey do no t know Jesus, and th a t the church is His house, and, that; th,e bell -is calling them to come to Sunday School, and how are
,we going to,, let them , know? . Go and ask them to come and tell them what a good tim e ypu have;., call for them Sunday, morning, and bring them with you, ju st ¿ike. some, of , you , are c(ping when you bring new scholars. Some times you. will, have to ask . them a number of times .before they will come, for you see they do not know. Jesu s and how nice it is in-Sunday School. When Jesus, was living down here o n earth where do you th ink He always w ent on the Lord’s day? . Yes, He w ent to, the temple, which was the place where peo ple worshipped before we had churches like we have, today.

L et us say it and th ink w hat it means. Next Sun day let us pee-( how many of us. can bring some one else w ith us to Sunday School. Closing P rayer;' Dear Lord Jesus we th ank , thee for our Sunday -School and church, and may, we love to, go to God our F a th e r’s house.
