Which leaves children not in Sabbath Schools 1892
After the reading of the report the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
1. Rssoiped, That the pastors Of the different
churches in this city be requested to present at an
early date the subject of Sabbath School instruction
to their respective congregations and to urge upon
them the duty Of engaging vigorously in the blessed
cause, KS 4iaE tgis Htf}t lti8 ss tN tS8al
O. That il is cxpedient that each school should have
one Vsiter more, employed especially during every
Sabbath morning in searching for scholars, and with
the permission Of their parents inducing them rerular-
" to attend the school room.
3. That these Visitors be requested 10 urge upon
the attention Of parents who may send their children
the great Importance of aiding them in their prepara
ton for the Sabbath School,
Resolved That we believe il To be the imperative
duty Of every Christian to be actively engaged IN The
Sabbath School cause if his her assistance can be-
in any way, beneficial. 1tT''
The undersigned do not feel themselves called upon
on this occasion, to present heightened appeal for
Sabbath Schools; but, on behalf of teachers and
other jealous friends Of the cause they do most ear
nesty invoke the serious attention of the pubIic and
especially Of the Christian community. 10 the facts
and resolutions above presented, with the MANY i'm
portant reflections naturally arising therefrom The
astounding fact is here disclosed that nearly ro hon

To those parents who do not send their chill

the name of all friends to this cause do most earnestly
appeal and beg that they will interest themselves in
the immediate and continued attendance of their chill
dren upon some such school. Not that they may be

that they may learn TO search the Scriptures, and

10 regret.-Globs
The Globe has the whole of one page filed up with
,ha mama. m large tyne and wide spaces, Of newly
apponted officers by way of showing, We presume
how erceIentIv well our new Administration, far
as il has zone, has "prescrbed prescription" Under
the head of prescribed" it includes some who are
dead, some who have resigned, and some who though
vet in office it fears fit subjects for removal.
If the rule laid down in the "Circnlar" issued
time ago in regard the of removal recognised
BY Gen. Harrisons Administration, is to be rigidy
enforced the Globe will do well to enlarge its sheet
and use smaller type, for many oceholders under
the last Administration have been engaged openly
secretly, in eeconeering, neglecting their official du
ties, and others in deraudng the Government out of
large sums, aiding and abettng those who were SO
doing, or assisting to conceal these frauds from the
people, that their name is LEGION
We take this opportunity to say, that we know of
no single individual yet removed without full and just
cause well as,ertaned exist and are well salts
fed that neither President Tyler or any member Of
his Cabinet wish, or will consent TO the removal Of
any man (except the confidential agents Of the Gov
eminent abroad) who has discharged his duties faith
fully and not interfered improperly in the politics Of
the country. But almost every man holding Office
high low, has been engaged in the outrageous and
hitherto too successful attempt to gag the honest ex
preston ofthe will Of the people, making of Their
Offices, and the money of the people, or ofther own
salaries to corrupt the purity Of elections and to retain
themselves in Office.
The People require their removal, and will not be
satisfied unless il is rigidy accomplished.
How are the frauds supposed to have been PerPe-
rated of the great interests of the People by
their officers and by others through them to be ascer
tanned while they whose interest it is to conceal them
are in possession of the books?
The condition of the body polite is desperate, and
some other remedies necessary than. plaisters
and ointments. The probe, the actual cautery, are
necessary, and hope will be applied, otherwise the
country will continue to suffer from the concealed but
facilitating disease.
