First. We recommend that the city be divided into. four districts, northeast, northwest, southeast and south- west, and that Penn street and Seventh street be the di- viding lines.

Second. That the First Church have jurisdiction over the northwestern or Ricktown district. That the Second Church have jurisdiction over St. Paul's Mission School and the southwestern district. That St. Paul's Memorial Church have jurisdiction over Emanuel's Mission School and the northeastern district; and that St. John's Church have jurisdiction over the southeastern district.
Third. That the several church schools shall not be re- stricted by the above mentioned limits from claiming those members and scholars who prefer their school, or who naturally belong to them, who live beyond the de- scribed limits.
Fourth. That each of the four church schools be re- quested to appoint a standing canvassing committee, to consist of twelve or more faithful persons, to canvas their respective districts for neglected children, the work to be divided systematically among the members of the com- mittees in blocks or streets. And that each member keep a correct and careful account of the number of Reformed and neglected children in their district called upon, their names and residences, where they belong or attend, and the number brought into their schools. The chairman of each committee to make a report annually, which should be embodied in the Superintendent's annual report to the association.
Fifth. That each committee in their organization be prepared, as far as possible, to meet the wants of needy and worthy families, in the shape of clothing for their children who are in this particular debarred from attend- ing Sunday school. The committee, however, recommend from experience that a careful discrimination in the dis- tribution of clothing be made, so as not to encourage any but those who are really worthy and needy.
Sixth. In order to begin the work, the committee would suggest the following plan: That each church school hold, at as early a date as possible, a joint meeting
306
ST. STEPHEN'S REFORMED CHURCH
of their teachers and larger scholars, together with the officers, teachers and larger scholars of their mission school, and acquaint them with the nature of the work, and organize.
Seventh. That if either of the churches have not suffi- cient help to carry on their mission work, they should call upon the other churches through the association.
The last minutes of St. Paul's Reformed Mission Sunday School were recorded March 31, 1883, showing that the enrollment of the school at that time was 105 members, 10 officers and teachers and 95 scholars, with an average at- tendance of 50.
The first home of Emanuel's Sunday School was the old one-story school house on the northwest corner of Tenth and Washington streets. Later it occupied a small frame chapel on Tenth street, between Washington and Wal- nut streets. When this chapel was sold, the Sunday school was removed to the public school building on Tenth street, between Washington and Walnut streets, where it continued until it was transferred to the new church building at Ninth and Greenwich streets, where it was re- organized, December 23, 1883, as St. Stephen's Reformed Sunday School.
It was a memorable day when the sixty charter members of St. Stephen's Reformed
307
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
Sunday School marched to the new home of the school, headed by Rev. C. S. Gerhard, Superin- tendent T. D. Bausher, Milton J. Coller and Andrew H. Smith. The record of the charter members has not been preserved and can there- fore not be published. They are, however, in- cluded in the following list of members taken from the record of January 6, 1884, numbering 104:

The records were very poorly kept in the early history of St. Stephen's Reformed Sunday School, so that, even if desirable, it is impossible to give a connected story of its progress. On the first anniversary the membership of the school was 286, an increase of 226 during the year. It continued to grow steadily, so that when the tenth anniversary was celebrated the membership was 627.
On December 25, 1897, the membership was 738. The building that had been occupied for fourteen years was now known as "the old
309
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
brick building" and was soon to give place to a new and more modern church structure and Sunday school chapel. The last Sunday school session in the old building was held on April 10, 1898, with an attendance of 574. The senior portion of the school held its sessions in the P. & R. Y. M. C. A. building, west of Eighth street, under the direction of the pastor, Dr. C. S. Gerhard. The younger portion of the school, under the direction of the Superintendent, Mr. T. D. Bausher, held its sessions in the Tenth street public school building. On the after- noon of December 4, 1898, both divisions of the school met at Ninth and Green streets and marched out to take possession of the new Sun- day school chapel, which was nearing comple- tion. At this time the total membership of the school was 761.
At the eighteenth anniversary of the Sunday school, March 16, 1902, the last one before the departure of the pastor, Dr. C. S. Gerhard, the membership of the school was 860. On Decem- ber 25, 1902, the membership was 887. On December 25, 1908, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the organization of the Sunday school, the membership was almost 1300, having reached a
310
ST. STEPHEN'S REFORMED CHURCH
membership of 1262 when the pastor's report was made to the Reading Classis, May 5, 1908.
The first Superintendent of St. Stephen's Sunday School was Thomas D. Bausher, and he served in that capacity without interruption for nineteen years. He was very faithful in his at- tendance upon the sessions of the school and often aided the school in a material way. On January 11, 1903, Dr. W. D. DeLong was elected and has been the efficient Superintendent of the school ever since. He has been honored by the Reformed Sunday School Superintend- ent's Association in being elected its president, and has taken an active part in the Sunday school movements of the city.
The Sunday school has had several Assistant Superintendents. Daniel S. Klein served from 1883 to 1887 and from 1891 to 1895. H. Y. Stoner held the office from 1888 to 1890. From 1895 to 1903 the records are lost. A. J. Shartle has been the incumbent of the office since 1903.
Milton J. Coller was Librarian from the or- ganization of the school for a period of almost twenty-one years, until November 6, 1904, when he resigned from the office, and was made Librarian Emeritus for life. William J. Lowe
311
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
was elected his successor and he has held the office since. These two Librarians have had numerous assistants, which cannot be given here because of the incompleteness of the records.
In the record of 1884, Andrew H. Smith and A. C. Brossman are mentioned as Secre- taries, while in another record of the same period Mr. Smith is given as Assistant Libra- rian. From 1887 to 1891, Adam A. Ludwig served as Secretary. William Miller is men- tioned in 1892 and a part of 1893. After that the record is confused, and a whole record book lost. Since January, 1903, the records have been carefully kept. During that year William K. Bridegam served as Recording and Finan- cial Secretary. Since January, 1904, Mr. Bridegam has filled the office of Financial Sec- retary and John D. Heck that of Recording Secretary, both of them having two assistants since 1906, because of the large amount of work required to keep accurate records of so large a school.
The first Treasurer of the school was John Hain, in 1884, after which no mention is made of a Treasurer until 1888, when the office was held by R. R. Snyder, and was succeeded in
312
ST. STEPHEN'S REFORMED CHURCH
1891 by Edwin F. Feather. Mr. Feather held the office also from 1903 to 1906, when he de- clined to serve any longer and was succeeded by Thomas Z. Bright, who held the office for one year. Since the beginning of 1907 John Her- bein has been the Treasurer of the school.
Miss Sallie Westley was the first organist of the Sunday school, serving in that capacity from 1883 to 1887. In 1888 Glase Gerhard was elected and presided at the organ until the fall of 1890, when he was succeeded by J. Wil- son Klein, who has filled the position ever since. Miss Ella Bickel served for a number of years as pianist of the Sunday school, and for the past few years Miss Marian Klein has presided at the piano. Andrew H. Smith was chorister of the Sunday school from 1887 to 1889. In 1890 J. Wilson Klein assumed the duties of that of- fice in connection with those of organist.
There is such confusion and incompleteness in the records of the heads of the various de- partments and of the teachers of the classes of the Sunday school as to make impracticable any attempt to take account of them. We regret this very much, because it would be interesting
313
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
to know who have been the faithful workers in our Sunday school.
The minutes from January, 1903, to the time of the twenty-fifth anniversary make inter- esting reading, but it would unduly lengthen this chapter to give a detailed account of all the activities of these years.
On February 8, 1903, a committee of five was appointed to act in conjunction with the pastor in revising the constitution of the Sun- day school. This committee presented its re- port at the meeting held December 13, 1903. The report was carefully considered at several regular and special meetings of the Teachers' Association, and was finally adopted, with slight modifications, on April 10, 1904, being one of the best Sunday school constitutions that can be found.
A number of material improvements have been made in different parts of the Sunday school chapel, adding to the comfort of both teachers and pupils and rendering our plant more valuable and better equipped for Sunday school work. Some of these improvements are mentioned elsewhere .*

The Sunday school was thoroughly graded, so as to include all the departments found in an up-to-date Sunday school. Modern methods have been introduced, teacher training classes have been conducted, the adult classes have been organized, and the way has been prepared for the introduction of the graded lesson system.
The Sunday school has raised large sums of money for its own use, for the church debt, and for benevolence. It is to be much regretted that the incompleteness of the records make it impossible to know the total amount of money that has been raised during these twenty-five years. The large Easter offerings which have been given during the past ten years have been a notable feature of the financial work of the school. The Sunday school pledged $200 in memory of Dr. C. S. Gerhard, toward the Re- formed Church Building in Philadelphia.
While we rejoice in the progress that has been made and in the work that God has ena- bled us to accomplish, we realize that there is still much room for improvement until our Sunday school shall be what, under God, it is possible for us to make it. Let us take cour- age and reconsecrate ourselves to the work, so
315
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
that, as officers, teachers and scholars, we may do our best to make St. Stephen's one of the foremost Sunday schools in our denomination.
