Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Report of the International Sunday-School Convention, 1915 This volume is designed to serve both as a report of the Fourteenth International Sunday School Convention and as a permanent record of Sunday School achievement throughout the International field during the past triennium. It was early recognized that its value as a report would be largely increased by prompt publication following the final adjournment of the convention. Its worth as a record, it was evident, would depend upon fulness of detail and accuracy of statement. To secure these desiderata equitable allotments of space in the printed volume were made to the respective divisions and departments of the International work and the superintendent of each was made responsible for the furnishing of the requisite matter. The participants in the program numbered three hundred and seventy-eight. They produced a plethora of material which has caused no little editorial perplexity. To preserve it all several large volumes would be required; therefore, limitation, selection, abridgment and exclusion have been compulsory. All addresses delivered at the simultaneous meetings have been excluded; only epitomes of the addresses heard by the main convention are given; the conference addresses have suffered both abridgment and exclusion. So it happens that many speeches, richly deserving prominence and permanence in their entirety, have been wholly omitted or greatly condensed. Perhaps the time will come when the International Sunday School Association will deem it advantageous to its work to produce two books following its conventions, one volume to contain the addresses verbatim, and the other to set forth the formal proceedings. If such a plan were in vogue now the work of the editor would be a joy and the Sunday School world would be given a thesaurus of wisdom and eloquence. The volume is sent forth with the earnest prayer that the divine Spirit will use it for the glory of God and the advancement of the kingdom of His dear Son.
