Churches of the Atlantic Union Conference, Attention!
By Frederick Griggs
LAST year quite a number of churches that desired to open church schools were unable to do so. They had made all their arrangements, and then no teacher could be furnished them. Of course those who were unable to get teachers were those who were late in making provisions for opening the schools, and in asking for a teacher. We are endeavoring this year to make it possible for every church in the Atlantic Union Conference that desires to have a school to be provided with a teacher. But if this is accomplished, it is necessary that we should know at once just which churches desire teachers at an early date, so that the Department of Education of the Atlantic Union Conference can make a proper distribution of the teachers. Now is the time for our churches to consider this matter, and to make the provisions necessary for the education of their children. Schools should be ready to begin early in September, and should be planned to continue throughout the regular school year. The conference officers of each conference should be31conferred with in the establishment of these schools; also the Department of Education of the Union Conference is ready to give counsel and to be of any help possible in starting and managing the church schools. Let the officers of the churches be fully awakened now to this important work which the Lord has given them to do. But if the officers are not awake, let those upon whom the Lord has laid a burden for this work move forward, that the professed people of the Lord may not again be destroyed because their children have not been educated in the fear of the Lord.
