NEW FLANNELGRAPH TEACHES MISSIONS
STUDY MATERIAL PAVES WAY TO NEW INTEREST
Answering a long felt need, the editorial division of Scripture Press this month an nounces the development of a new series of "Mission-graphs” — flannelboard stories to teach missions in the Sunday School. First title to be released is "Santo — Boy o f Argentina,” which tells in 10 exciting epi sodes how this Indian boy found Christ as his personal Saviour. Your local dealer will have "Santo” after May 15. This series of dramatic flannelboard sto ries is being developed from actual stories of missionaries and mission activities. It has been worked out in collaboration with missionaries and mission board execu tives, according to Mrs. Bernice T. Cory, head of the editorial division of Scripture Press. Other titles will be announced as they are developed. South Dakota — "I have been a teacher in public schools and I have found nothing that presents material to the child in a more interesting way than the Scripture Press ma terial, especially the Primary Teacher.” Pennsylvania— "I am now using the "Bible Knowledge” in my Adult class and like it very much. I have never found any thing that is such an aid to a teacher.” Indiana — "We like your lessons for Jun iors very much. My attendance and discipline have improved greatly since adopting them. We use the Gospel-graph and Table-top vis ual aids.” Revised Version Is your Sunday School material up- to-date with 1954 illustrations, pertinent for each age-level, new art, and challeng ing visual aids? Scripture Press lessons tell ' the old, old story” with an ever- new slant. Re-edited, newly typeset each quarter, they keep pace with the modern tempo, both in content and appearance. THE PEOPLE SPEAK
A virtual revival has been experienced in many adult Sunday School classes across the country in recent months. This deepened interest in spiritual growth has been noted in classes using the new course for Addlts developed by Scripture Press. Once-small attendances have boomed. Discouraged teachers have received new inspiration. Classes — both men’s and women’s— in churches of many different denominations have been stimulated to a deepened interest in the Bible and a growing desire to live more spiritual lives. A Methodist church .in Oklahoma had watched its Adult class dwindle in attend ance and interest. Someone introduced the "B ible Knowledge” Course of Scripture Press. Then things began to happen: Today the Adult class in this Church is one of the most active and;growing groups in the com munity. An Independent Bible church in Illinois had 'been unable to maintain interest in its Adult class. "Bible Knowledge” was intro duced and attendance increased by 50 per cent. o
Spark VBS With New Type Contest Something altogether new with which to build Vacation Bible School attend ance has been developed this year by Scripture Press— an attendance contest to last throughout the Vacation Bible School period.

A Baptist church had been unable to secure a teacher for its Adult class. When "Bible Knowledge” was introduced, a ca pable teacher was selected from a number of volunteers. Today the Adult class in this church is booming in interest and attention. THIS COUPON WILL BRING YOU THE COMPLETE STORY CLIP AND SEND TODAY!
