A HAaDseMR BANNER AND STAND The
lcOtt NJ. l.. Church Sabbath School, Of this
city, have had made by norismau s. Brother,
Philadelphia, very handsome banner for the
Great Central Fair, for the benefit of the sani-
tary Commission, now open. The banner ia
made of blue silk, aud is tastefully and elegant
ly trimmed with gold bullion. On the front are
the words, in gold, dedicated to Bishop Scott,
by the Scott NJ, Il. Sabbath School, Wilmington,
Delaware, 1864" On the reverse, "Of such
is the King lOin of Heaven" The banner 10 on
IL stand finished in beautiful style and burnish-
cd in gold 1t is about 3 feet six inches
high. II was taken to Philadelphia on Wednes-
day, and deposited in the Fair. Persons desir-
ing 10 contribute towards its purchase for the
Bishop can do 80, and the amount realized will
be handed over to the Commission. AT the
conclusion Of the Fair, the banner will be pre-
sented to the Bishop. The teachers und chill
dTen connected with this School deserve much
credit for their patriotic and liberal oontribu-
tion in aid Of our suffering heroes. II shows
that they fully appreciate the services OF the
gallant men who are facing the enemies Of free
dom, on the field OF strife. We hope that their
effort will be crowned with abundant success,
and that handsome sum will be realized from
this beautiful banner. The churches Of most Of
the denominations in our city, have given re
peated evidences OF their devotion to the Union,
but We believe this is the first Sabbath School
that has contributed anything towards the Great
Central Fair. May the noble example which
they have set be al incentive to prompt the
others to make an effort in this behalf
