Excerpt from The Superintendent
The revision of The Superintendent, first written in 1910, was the last work of authorship of Dr. Frank L. Brown. The task was completed while he was at Clifton Springs, New York, under medical care, in the late summer of 1921. As this book is in process of manufacture, the report of the author"s death brings a sense of deep personal loss to thousands of Sunday-school workers throughout the world.
For several years past Dr. Brown has been general secretary of the World"s Sunday School Association, directing its affairs with efficiency and constantly increasing its influence throughout world-wide Protestantism. To Methodists, however, he is best known as the superintendent of the Bushwick Avenue Central Sunday School in Brooklyn, a school that he founded as a mission and of which he was superintendent to the day of his death. His spiritual devotion, ceaseless activity, and enterprise made Bushwick Avenue Sunday School everywhere known not only as one of the largest but also as one of the best Sunday schools in Methodism. For years scarcely a Sunday passed without visitors, from one to a score or more, coming many of them from distant places to observe and learn. No alert observer ever went away without carrying with him some fruitful suggestion for the improvement of his own work. Into Bushwick Avenue Sunday School Frank L. Brown built his life and personality. It is a living monument that will endure. The Superintendent reflects very largely his own experience as superintendent.
As a member from the time of its organization of the Board of Sunday Schools, of the Board of Foreign Missions, of important committees of these and other organizations, and of several General Conferences Dr. Brown made a large contribution to modern Methodism.
