SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING.

An adjourned meeting OF the members oi the
Methodist Church in Richmond and vicinity,
was held on Wednesday night, for the purpose
of elcctng officers under the constitution adopt
ed at a previous meeting held for the formation
of Methodist Sunday School Union for Rich
mond and vicinity The objects of the Union
are generally the promotion Of the Sunday
School cause rs connected with the Methodist
Church. and to establish mission Sunday
Schools in and around the city. In furtherance
Of these objects. it is proposed to use any funds
that NAV come into its treasury in securing the
services of one or more colporteurs, to hold liz
tcresting monthly and quarterly meetings.
The meeting was large, composed of both
ladies and gentlemen, old and young, ministers
and laymen-comprising body Of earnest
workers. as we should infer, from the matter
and manner of what was said and done. The
officers elected were
President. s. WALKER.
lst Vice Prcsident-A. 5. LEE.
Cd Vice Presient-E. CAREY.
Secretary-JAs E. RIDDIcK.
Assistant Secretary. Z. GATES.
Treasurer-G. A. W. TAYLOR
The Board of Managers is to be composed Of
these officers, who are to hold the same OIL
ces in the Board, and two managers to be ap-
pointed by each Methodist school wishing con
nection with the Union.
Those reported to the meeting were Asa
Snyder and c. S. Thompson from Centenary:
Thomas W. Pemberton and John W. Fers'i-
son from Trinity; James D. Brown and &. W.
A. Taylor from Clay street; a. W. Richardson
and Silas L. johnson from Union station; Rich
ard Pilkerton and F. w Rcdford from Man
chester; J. H. Hatcher and J. c. Wells from
Belle Isle; Lewis Brown and j. ". Synce from
Wesley Chapel. Sidney, Oregon and Rockets
were not represented
We are glad to see this move on the part Of
our Methodist fellow-citizens, and to know that
the Baptists have, for some time, been taking
very active measures TO extend the benefits Of
Sunday school instruction, not only to every
part of our city, but through their colporterage
system, to every part of the State. We trust
that the example of these two will be emulated
by the other denominations, and that their
efforts shall not cease until all the children
within the broad limits Of this Commonwealth
shall be enrolled in Sunday schools
Apart from any other and higher good con-
templated, We hold the opinion that the plant
ing of Sunday School in every neighborhood
would do more to inspire desire to learn to
read and write among the children Of the
