Business-like Methods ESSENTIAL TO Sunday School Success HE BUSINESS END OF A SUNDAY SCHOOL is an espec ially vital part of religious work. Unless the officers and teachers conduct all the affairs of the Bible school in a business-like manner, their efforts to enlighten and instruct the chil dren under their charge are very often lost. By the business end of a Sunday School we mean all that part of the work, except the actual teaching of the lesson. The officers of the Hammond Pub lishing Company have made a deep study of this very important subject, covering a period of over thirty years, and, as a result of this study, have brought out and put into the hands of thousands of Sunday School workers schemes and devices which have produced wonderful results. We are consulting experts for Sunday School management, and have been successful to such an extent that thou sands of Bible schools throughout the world are using our helps. The Fall season is about here. Have you made any plans for it? Rally Day is the beginning of Fall Work. Let us show you how to increase the interest and maintain the attendance. We list below only a few of the many interesting things that can be found in our new Fall catalog:
