Is The Sunday-school Decaying?

Not for a long time has the Sunday school as an institution been handled so absolutely without gloves as in Edward Bok's editorial on "The Decay of the Sunday School" in the Ladies' Home Jyurnal. Mr. Bok has evidently studiedhis subject closely, and the results must have been far from satiafactory, judging by the way in which he handles the entire topic. In words which no one can misunderstand, with. a sure aim, he pillories the average Sunday school, and declares it to b "a rebuke to intelligence and a discredit to the church." Probably no religious article of recent publicatlon will cause so much comment or evok such bitter controversy as this remarkable editorial by the Philadelphia editor.
