School association convention will be
held In Convention hall. Kansas City.
Mo.. June 21 to 27. 1?2. The exec
utive secretary. Dr. Marlon Lawrence,
for ove 2 years secretary of the as
sociation. Is devoting his entire time
to setting up and perfecting the ar
rangements for what Is expected to
be the greatest and most significant
Sunday achool gathering ever neld.
Eight thousand official delegates
from M state Sunday school associa
tions In the United States and the nine
provincial Sunday school associations
in Canada are expected to be pres
ent. Even at this early date it has
been necessary to limit the number
of delegates that each state and pro
vincial association can send to one for
very 4000 Sunday school members
actually enrolled.
Unusual significance is attached to
this convention, due to the fact that
it Is ths first time In the history of
Eunday school work that all of the
national and International forces
have been united in their work. For
-a number of years there, have existed
two great Sunday aw-hool organisa
tions, the International Sunday School
association, which Is organized Into
state and county associations, and the
Sunday School Council of Evangeli
cal Denominations. This latter body
Is composed of representatives of 32
denominations, while the former has
worked through these same denomi
nation and also non-denominational
schools.
The bringing together cf these two
bodies into one organization and the
unifying of all the efforts and plans
makes possible an educational com
mittee which is now preparing a com
prehensive plan of religious educa
tion which will bear an abundant
fruit In the Uvea of the next genera
tion of American and Canadian citl
sens. This committee will present its
programme on the afternoons of
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday,

some bits of yellow metal in the tail
race above Sutter's mill up In the
Sacramento valley, and the cry of
"gold," like the shot fired at Lexing
tc.n. was heard round the world. The
rush of the 49ers followed and In the
vanguard was Rev. Flavel Scott
Mines, who erected the first church
building on the Pacific coast. Trinity
church, San Francisco, which was
opened on October 28, 1849.
Probably no name has a more last
ing place In California annals, how
ever, than that of Charles Caleb
Pierce, called by Bishop Moreiand, "a
modern St. Francis," beginning his
missionary career in 1861, devoting
his life to the people of El Dorado
county! Without private means, and
scorning to accept a Balary, believing
that the people whom he served
wculd provide his simple needs,
P'erce established headquarters in a
rude parish church at Placervllle.
Sunday always found him there, read
ing the familiar services and per
forming his priestly duties. Then
regularly each Monday morning he
packed his bag with religious litera
ture and "hit the trail." Six days a
week, week In and week out, he
walked over the county, averaging
60 miles each week, every house his
home, a place at the table of what
ever house he visited, or a spare bed
always being certain wherever he
happened to be. He always traveled
on foot; his charity was unbounded
and he was the friend and helper of
all.
Other ministers came and went, but
Father Pierce stayed on. For 42
y.ars he tramped and preached about
El Dorado county, never missing a
Sunday sermon in Placervllle, never
failing the ensuing Monday morning
to hit the trail In his picturesque
sombrero and flowing tie, with his
bag of books flung over his shoulder.
Re became the best known and the
best loved man in El Dorado; and It
was his boast that in all the 42 years
he never had left the county but
twice, and on both occasions against
his will.
Then. March 15. 1903. the news
was flashed through the county,
"Father Pierce Is dead!"
It Is an evidence of the veneration
In which he was held, and of the in
fluence which he exerted throughout
tho region to which he ministered,
that universal mourning followed. On
the day of his funeral the mayor of
P'acervtlle issued a proclamation
closing all the places of business. The
windows of the stores held portraits
of the departed pastor, draped In
black, and not the store and offices
alone were closed, bat across the
locked doors of the saloons, dance
halls and gambling palaces appeared
the legend: "Closed on account of the
funeral of Father Pierce." The Pla
cerviile Republican Issued an extra
supplement containing a picture of
Father Pierce and a poem entitled:
"Come, El Dorado, and bury your
dt-ad."
In Placervllle today the memory of
Father Pierce remains a potent fac
tor among all who came within the
sphere of his Influence. He was of
the type of men who in every land
and-clime have made possible the
achievements which the centenary of
the missionary society Is celebrating.

In 1821 the Episcopal church betan
to recover ground, and sent out her
missionaries west and south. They
scorned the old saw, "we'd better
keep our money at home and build
up our own church," but boldly 'went
on the great adventure. Today,
wherever the flag flies, there the
church has her ministers, her schools,
her hospitals. Many facts of great
Interest have come to light In this
anniversary. George Washington
was a member of the Episcopal
church, as were the majority of the
signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Betsy Ross and Joseph
Hopklnson were members of Christ
church. Philadelphia, while Francis
Scott Key, author of the "Star
Spangled Banner," helped to form the
constitution of the Missionary so
ciety.
Today the church Is on the thresh
old of new ventures. She numbers
among her loyal sons General Persh
ing and General Wood and hundreds
of great men whose names shine on
our nation's honor roll. Commodore
Perry, who opened Japan to the
American civilization, was also
church man.
The great centennial service will
take place in every parish and mis
sion November 6. All over the coun
try prayers and gifts will be poured
in grateful remembrance.
As a thank offering for their Jubi
lee, the women of the church under
took to raise $50,000. According to
a telegram received from the mis
sions house up to the present over
$66,000 has been raised.
