school we're presented with small cate
chism, illustrative of the duty and Propri-
ETY. OF observing Christmas, published for
the purpose, and which has been learned
by many of the children"
In presenting this abstract Of the Re-
port, the Rector deems it his duty to re-
mind the members of the congregation, OF
the encouragement and support which
those young persons need aud deserve,
while they are labouring with praise
worthy zeal in the cause of Christian
kindness. Much Of the benefit of Sunday
schools must be sought in the plmctuality
of teachers, aud that punctuality may be
essentially promoted by the attention Of
the elder members Of society. 1t should
also be remembered, that though the ex-
penses of this institution are very incon.
siderable, still an occasional benefaction
from those who are able and disposed 10
give their support, will be gratefully ac-
knowledged, aud will enable the superin-
tendant to procure those books and tracts
which may always be bestowed to advan
tage, and Contribute to the promotion OF
virtue and piety.
Signed 10 behalf of the Sunday school
of St. Johns Church.
