Excerpt from Plans for Sunday School Evangelism: For Pastors, Superintendents, Teachers and Parents If it were not for the additions to the Church from the Sunday School the Church in a few generations would be non-existent. The annual increment from the Sunday School saves the Church from the report of steady losses in membership. In England these additions furnish nearly eighty percent, of the new members and in America the proportion is variously estimated from eighty to ninety percent. The old order passeth, and we may as well face the fact that the annual church revival, with or without an evangelist, as a method of saving souls and recruiting the church rolls, is passing its day. The reasons for this situation are many. The revival is really an attempt to correct the Church's blunder in not holding its young people through the strategic teen years and in permitting these young people to drift away at the very time when God speaks most directly and persuasively to the life.
