schools were preached, on Sunday last, at the chapel
by the pastor, the Rev. E. Francis. The congregations
were numerous, morning and evening, and in the

sermon to the young in the morning Mall founded
upon the beautiful words " Eon so it is not the will
of your Father which is in heaven, that one of tuella
little ones should peiish." During an excellent and
practical discourse, the past r impressed upon the
teachers of the school the great necessity of teaching
the scholars God's love for them, and to train them for
His ser. ice : to the parents he proved how great a
responsibility was theirs, and to what extent the
influence of a baneful or sanctified home life would have

for children extended to the poor and rich, the famous
an obscure, anti parents should pray earnestly and
nobly, si that the perfume of sanctification m•ght
fill their homes, and shod a godly influence over those
whom God had entrusted to their charge. The
scholars should bear in mind what they wore taught,
the teaching would be of infinite use to them for
heaven hereafter. The children, under the leadership
of Mr. W. liockett, sung 80311.1 selected hymns and
anthems, morning and evening, Mr. C. Warren pre-
siding at the organ. Collections were made, and the
pro.ueds will be handed over to the School Fund.
