Progress Continues

Reports continue to reach us which verify substantial growth in many of our Sunday Schools. Branch churches and societies are reporting that Sunday School rooms have been enlarged; some are adding new Sunday School wings to church edifices; others are erecting separate buildings. In some instances the existing church auditoriums are being remodeled for the Sunday School after the completion of new church edifices.

In the eighteen months ending November, 1956, there have been seventy-six new Sunday Schools established in the United States and its territories, in Canada, England, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

Many small churches and societies report that the Sunday Schools have doubled in size in the last year, and some report 100 per cent attendance. A Sunday School in a small town of a little over six thousand population, which in 1953 had only a few visiting pupils, now has a regular attendance of twenty pupils. In another Sunday School the enrollment has doubled in the six months they have been in the new church. And one church writes that since they moved into their edifice two and a half years ago, the enrollment has more than doubled, and the average attendance has jumped from around thirty to about eighty. The enrollment is nearly one hundred pupils now, and many Sundays the attendance has been 100 per cent.
