AMERICAN SUNDAY SCHOOL UsIoS.-Tbe Anniver-
sary meeting ofthe American Sunday School Union
took place in Philadelphia, Tuesday evening The
Annual Report, which shows that while the Soci.
ETY. has not issued many new books the past
year az usual, on account of the arrangement in
the business affairs of the country its sales have
been $16S,707 II, nearly as large in any for
mer years.
It is however shown. that the institution. after
having prosecuted its work for thirty-four years
during which time it has prepared and put into
circulation books to the value of two million, Ave
hundred thousand dollars, and expended another
million of dollars in organizing and sustaining
Sunday Schools. has accumulated no capital. All
during this long period have been expended in
planting and supporting Sunday Schools in the
destitute portions OF the country.
The receipts Of the Society, for the fiscal year
ending February rs, 1853, have been as follows -
From legacies, $4,470; from donations and colec
tious S60,605 II; total, $65,c75 III which is fall
ling of from the receipts OF the previous year Of
sl227T %. The following statistics are gathered
from the reports of missionaries, laboring in
seventeen different States and Territories; Schools
organizing we're none existed previously, 1,524
children gathered into these schools estimated at
not less than 81 SS7; voluntary teachers employed
In them, not less than 9,694; schools visited
ISL; books, &C. pat into circulation for teachers
children and youth by missionaries, and paid for
s2l 800 ST. books, &c, furnished by gifts schools
made to supply themselves, $94097 AZ. The mis-
siopary reports of the Society for the last seven
years, show that there have been organized
nearly fourteen thousand new Sunday schools,
containing more than half million children,
very large proportion of whom never before en-
tered Sunday school class.
