by the same ratio of decline.
The Sunday school today contends with
competitors never thought of in the olden
days. The waning power of parental auth­
ority is another enemy of stated religious
education. But the great weakness lies in
the antiquated equipment and the out­
grown practices of backward churches.
The contrast between the public school
and some Sunday schools is pathetic. The
child feels this disparity even though he
may not analyze it.
Happily, the churches understand this
weakness and are boldly attacking it. The
period of transition is upon the Sunday
school and upon methods in religious ed­
ucation. The problem is a big one but it
can and will be solved.
That it must be solved is the conviction
of every true American, whether church­
goer or not. Religious education is every
bit as fundamental to the welfare and hap­
piness of a democracy as secular educa­
tion. It must not decline either in favor
or usefulness. It must not even lag be­
hind.
