in tlic work of Sunday schools lasted throughout life. For many 

 years he was the President of the Pennsylvania Sabbath School 

 Association, and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the 

 World's Sunday School Association. In 1916 he was elected 

 \'ice-President of the Sunday School Union of London, the oldest
