ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONORE,UATIONAL

SCHOOLS.

The Rev. K Bolton, of Weymouth, preached the
anniversary sermons on Sunday last at the Congrega-
tional Church, on behalf ef the Sunday Nettie& in
connection with that place of worship. The Rev. Mr.
Bolton kindly consented to conduct the xervice in the
unavoidable absence of the iesident pastor, the rev.
. J. Austin who is from home in consequence of the
indisposition of hie wife. The beautiful and extensive
church was well filled during morning ser ice, and in
the evening the edifice was /A) crowded that forms had
to be procured from the schoolrooms, and placed along
the aisles, and by the time of service many could not
obtain seats. The scholars occupied both sides of the
gallery, each class with its respective teacher, and
conducted by the venerable and able superintendent.,
Mr. John siont ith. There are at present in the girl,
boy and infant department a total of 918 scholars with
a staff of 30 efficient teachers, numbering more than
any o her sabbath school in the town. Nagaly•bound
copies of leaflete were distributed along the
pews, and the beautiful selection of hymns
and anthems contained therein, were nicely
sung by the scholars supplemented by the
church. Mr. S. Champ presided at the organ. The
pieces set to music were as follows.—" Praise,"" Give
Praise," "Hill. of the Blest," "Safe within the
Kingdom," "Childhood's Happy Days," "The
Angelic Host," "Sing with Me," "The Prodigal's
Return," " More Love to Thee."
According to the custom, the sermon in the morn-
ing was addressed to the young, and the rev.
gentlemen delivered an able and appropriate discourse
from Matthew xxi. 15 and 16 verses. " And when
the thief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things
that he did and the children crying in the temple,
and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were
sore displeased, and said unto them Hearest thou
what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea!
have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and
sucklings thou has perfected praise ?" The preacher
remarked that there was a deal of significance in all
Christ's works, and if we were to place the meaning of
the text under the microsco, ic power of Christian
faith we should gather much spiritual meaning. The
rev, gentlemen divided his discourse into three heads
"The children in the temple—what t .ey did there—
and the result of it," First, there were children in
the temple—a sacred piece, divinely ordered,
having the stamp of God u. on it. But
the children had a place with the proud
Scribe, and self-righteous Pharisee, ro the temple was
not only for the anointed priest-h'sid, or the adult
population of Israel, but for the children - then how
much more should the children have a place in these
places of worship than uuder the old slosai economy.
And Jesus gave then iildren a place, for with all His
hiving kindness did he not tae the little ones up in
His trios and blessthem. All true Christians wid
make distinct use of children, and where we find no
care for the spiritual growth of the young we may
stamp it at once as not being the genius of
Christianity, so that to give them no place in thoughts
and teaching would be a sin on our parts as parents
and teachers—teachers of Him whose work was so
much elating the young. The children of to-day are
the living promise of to-morrow, and the expected
future is being already shaped out in them, and to cut
them off (nen us would be to cut off promise id future
help and usefulness. We cannot spare the young for
if we neglect and Never ourselves from them we are
pra Healy cuttin: ourselves off from Christ, for in
them we see much of His Spirit and His mind. ihe
Sunday School aims at giving children their proper
place in the spiritual temple of Get and the future of
their life and character is there being developed. Su
every one to-clay would wish the Sunoay Schools every
success, "What the children did in the temple !" The
children mentioned in the text were the sons of Levites
to assist in the service. On the occasion of Christi'
triumphal entry into Jerusa em the cry of the children
was a iip-intaneous utterance, but they confessed
' Christ when the Jews and Levites were silent—
when the self righteous refrained from making iny
mention of Him at ail. And the teachers: they will
never know what will become of their labour., but he
would urge them to teach on, a d theme would come
greater things out ef their truths, and p rhaps a
clearer testimony of Christ than the teachers has been.
And, little ones, who can te I how the heart of Jesus
is touched by their confessing Him, and how it
glad ens Him in Heaven to hear them on earth
making an open acknowl dgment of Him; and
that dear teacher who had taught them of
Christ to long, who knows how he or she
will he comfortati et the results of the labours. God
perfect d His Praise- out of the agac and childlike
for this was God's way to perfect praise. The
testimony m st valuable to Christ to-day was not the
teaching of the self-righteous Pharisee an learned
Scribe, but the. which wid most ful y testify is that of
chil non and ch Idl ¼. We dont crave tor the
e id nee of philosophy or bel 0. that the cause of
Chr at de ends on the utterance of th learn d, but
