Excerpt from The Senior Worker and His Work The present Sunday - school awakening is the brightest and most hopeful Sign in the religious world. All the Churches are showing a new appreciation of the value of the child and an unwonted confidence in the Bible and its teachings. This has come none too soon. The Church can not hope to prosper as we long to have it unless it succeeds in holding more Of her young people than she is holding or has ever held. This is distinctly the pressing problem of all the Churches. The religious interests Of our own children are incomparably the Church's first responsibility and greatest work. We shall be discredited both at home and in the mission fields if we prove powerless to recruit our member ship in larger numbers from our own homes. The Senior Department of the Sunday-school exists mainly on paper. Even our best organized schools seldom have a Senior Department separately organized and worked. And yet it is important - indispensable - to successful work. TO what purpose do we win the younger scholars if we lose them in the senior years?
