The Rev. Dir. TYsG was then introduced. lie said
speak to his friends He had been long, long long
since convinced that must begin at the first prn-
ciples and at the opening Of the human mind. lie
was delighted to find this subject had received so
much thought. He knew not where to begin to think
on this subject forty years ago he set up the first
Sabbath School he ever saw ever heard of. With
the help of granddaughter Of old President Adams
he went forward to establish q school, though they
knew nothing about it. The very first boy who came
TO that school is row one Of the most distinguished
ministers in the Uued States, and the first teacher
has since laid down his life missionary in CeyOn.
For the forty years since he has still abOred in TINS
scheme many time he has felt tired, but he has not
stopped in the work II seemed t0 hin that the great

Pastors heart. The great interest OF the Minister
greatly promoted by the Intelligence springlng up
around him. When he was child, Sunday was a hard
day, and religion punched into them-they had to
learn so much Catechism; and he used to wish that
the weeks had Sundays in them. But now all
this is changed and children long for Sunday to come
that they may go to the Sabbath School. Under this
system the Minister has an intelligent audience to lis
ten if he has anything TO say. He would say to every
man to give as much time possible to the Sunday
School. DIR. Tyng made a most Interesting speech,
