We feel extremely obliged to friend for his
timely suggestion in regard to a union celebrs-
ton Of the Sabbath Schools Of our city, on the
approaching fourth of July, and we now throw
out the suggestion in time to give the managers
of them an opportunity TO consider the matter
and make the necessary preparations should they
think proper to return again on our approaching
national anniversary, to the former good old plan
of celebrating the day. The objection to a union
celebration fos several years past has been the
difficulty in obtaining a place suitable for the
purpose We think If the proper steps are taken
In the proper quarter place can be had to which
none will object.
