SABBATH SCHOOL MONITOR.

The second volume of this popular
work will commence June 10th. It has
been recommended by some of the most
devoted members of the n. Y. Sunday
School Teachers Association, in whose
schools it is used, and by many periodic
ais. Arrangements are making to i'm
prove it in style of publication and in its
contents, which will be more exclusively
adapted to the wants of Sabbath Schools
in the Middle States. Some of our NEST
popular Sabbath School writers are among
lis correspondents.

favorable notices it has received:
