To THE EptroRs or THE wv,c.

Messrs. Editors--In your paper of Saturday last
10 found a proposition for the establishment of a
Sunday School, what is called liberal principles
viz: sectarianism, rather religion is to be
nstilled into the minds of the pupils they are to
be taught to read, write and cypher. NV object
in making this short and hasty communication is
not to object to the establishment of such school
nor to follow the example set by yourselves and the
writer of the communication referred to, by i'm.
pugning the motives of the benevolent individual
who offers his services instructor; do
intend to answer the question: proposed by your
selves, to whether it is true that certain Socc-
ty use no books, in their Sunday Schools, except
such as emanate from Press, in New York, own
ed by said Society. These all matters with
which have nothing to do. My design in troub-
ling you, with this scrawl, simply this-to avow
what is the object after which labouring in
Sunday Schools: am ngaged in this labour m seIf
and use the term we, because all Sunday School
Teachers are identified with each other. Our OBJ
Ject, then, is to endcavour instruct children
as that they may read the Biblc and to impress the
truths 1T contains their minds that their con
duct may be influenced by these truths throug
life Our grand object is to induce them to be
Christians, so far bible instruction will accom-
Plish 1T. Now, we are frequently misrepressnted;
md let me beg of you and your CORES pondents to
chnrge us of that only, of which we can be proved
gully We admit that when Sunday Schools were
first established, the souls Of those who were
instructed, we're comparatively neglected-but the
Christian world has beco emil Ihtenei, 81 we now
proclaim, and do it fearlessly, that our ohiect is
hing less than the salvation of the souls Of the
rising youth of our country.
SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER
P. St might be well to inform your cores
pendent, that Sunday School Teachers, under the
present system, lahoTr for nothing. The aeneyo-
lence of the individual who offers his services nv
being paid for them, is certainly very conspicuous
and Praiseworthy.
