missionary activities of the school. Such a committee will be most helpful in arranging missionary programs, selecting members for the mission study classes, planning the entire missionary instruction of the school, and attending to the proper distribution of missionary periodicals and literature. This committee may also assist in securing a missionary training of the teachers in the teacher-training classes. #99. Missionary Libraries.#--Some of the choice, bright, interesting missionary books which are now very abundant should be in every Sunday-school library. If selections are properly made, the books will be sought for and eagerly read by the boys and girls. There should also be in the teachers' library some special missionary books dealing with methods (see Appendix), and the teachers should be urged to read them. #100. Missionary Equipment.#--Splendid missionary maps, charts, pictures, and curios are now abundant and inexpensive. They may be secured from denominational publishing houses. Every school should have a supply, and they should be in the care of the Missionary Secretary. Large charts and maps may be made by the scholars under the direction of the Missionary Committee. Secure, if possible, a missionary map of the world, and a map showing the missionary activities of the denomination. Charts showing the relative strength and growth of the Christian religion as compared with other religions in all parts of the world are effective. A cabinet of missionary curios is most desirable. #101. Mission Study Class.#--There should be at least one mission study class in every school. It is usually possible. Such classes need not continue all the year. Ten meetings of one hour each, for ten successive weeks, will enable any class that applies itself to the work to complete one of the elementary text-books relating to missions. The meetings should be held on a week-night, and they should not be obliged to divide the evening with any other meeting. The available time in the Sunday-school session is not long enough unless double the number of lessons are used, and this is not always practicable. The class should be composed only of those young people who are deeply interested, or want to become interested, in missions. Five to ten members are enough for a good class. The leader should be an enthusiast who is not afraid to work. Such a class maintained for a few years will create a missionary interest in any school
