same amounts to one thousand dollars the Union
"shall apply the sum for the purpose of aiding in
securing a Sunday-school literature of the highest
order of merit." This may be done "either by
procuring works upon a given subject germane to
the objects of the Society, to be written or compiled
by authors of established reputation and known
ability, ... orby offering premiums for manuscripts
suitable for publication by said Union, in accordance
with the purposes and objects of its institution."
The premium plan to followed atis be least once
out of every three times. The Union is to control
