full house manifested in the simple story simp ly illustrated of the Sunday school work of his society in Nebraska The American society through its mission aries has accomplished great good in Nebraska especially in the needy western part of the state during the many years they have occupied the field The further need of the work of the society and of the active associat ed endeavor of the churches is in dicated by the startling fact that 300 000 boys and girls in this common wealth are not receiving the instruc tion and training of the Sunday schools Rev B L Webber of this city is
