I attend Sunday school because: The best book is studied and taught. I want to know and follow this book in my daily life. The best day of the week is observed. I want to keep the Lord's day holy. The best people are assembled for Sunday school, and I desire the blessing of their friendship and fellowship. The best institution is alert and at work for the Master. I ought to invest myself where I will do my best for Christ and the church. The best development as a Christian is attained through Sunday school. I want to continue to grow and develop as a follower of Christ.
