This Primitive Methodist Sunday School Union membership card was issued to show that the enrolled was taking the Correspondence Course of the Teacher Training Department Advanced Section. Taking courses such as this one enabled one to become a Sunday School teacher, a career path especially popular at the time among women.

The reverse of the card shows a sample certificate of merit, which would be awarded to the student on completing his or her studies.
