FACTORS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL SUCCESS . 195 INDEX 203 IlSrTEODUCTOBY THE PLACE OF THE SCHOOL THE Sunday school no longer lies among the neg ligible factors of life. Men and women do well to study its history and its present activities, not alone because such study is prescribed as part of the preparation for service in the institution, but be cause the school has become one of the most im portant forces in modern affairs, and particularly because to this school we must look, at least in large measure, for the solution of our great problem of religious education. It occupies a pre-eminent place as a character-forming institution in an age which is slowly coming to recognise the supreme place of character and the regnaney of righteous ness. It owes its place to two causes, the force of necessity on the one hand, and the fact that it is fitting itself to meet that necessity on the other. The force of necessity has been on the Sunday school as an agency for religious education because na other institution is doing this work to any gen eral extent to-day. Education has passed from a domestic to a civil duty, while the civil powers have decided, at least in the majority of the States, that 9 10 THE MODEKN SUNDAY SCHOOL their institutions for education cannot include instruction in the Bible or in religion in their curricula. It has, therefore, fallen to the church, as the organised communal force for religion, to undertake this work.

K o one who has observed the Sunday school in the last ten years can have failed to note the man ner in which it has been fitting itself to meet this opportunity. When home and school and lyceum all taught religion the Sunday school may have felt that it could afford to spend its time in playing at teaching, in giving a few individuals a chance to take the lesson text and from it to preach so many second-hand sermons to so many little sufferers on successive Sundays. But with the realisation of its responsibility for the work of religious educa tion there has come an awakening and a determina tion to be competent for the task. It is true that not all has been done that many had hoped tradi tionalism and sloth, inefficiency and sentimentalism THE SCHOOL A DEVELOPMENT 11 still prevail in places. Nevertheless the school is coming to be worthy of its place as the great agency for religious instruction and education...
