was invited on the 9Th inst, by the Superin-
tendent of the Sunday School held u public school
house No. IL, 18th election district, tuparicipate
in the special exercises Of that day.
This Sabbath School was organized about four
years ago, in Il locality where the like was never
known before. 1t is not connected with any par
ticular branch of the church. Ii is called the
Union Sabbath School," and is Superinten1ed
BY MIR. A. Copenhayer, assisted by Mr.. Thomas
Cunningham. Great credit is due these brethren
for their energy and zeal in so good canse.-
While applaud the Superintendent for their
zeal, would not forget to mention the young
ladies and gentlemen teachers. When consider
that most of these teachers are not members of
any Christian church, think they deserve the
more. credit. | have been much pleased TO see
those young people aud others, heads of families,
take so great an interest in the training of the
young and rising generation, thus fulfilling the
injunction of the Apostle, rs we have opporiu-
nifty, lei Us do good unto all
This School commences Its operations in the
Spring, about the first of May, and closes about
the first of November. At the close of tue School
in the Fall, the children are rewarded by pre-
miums for attendance and industry. So the day
above mentioned was set apart for that purpose,
and must say, | was much delighted when the
Superintendent arose and read off every child s
work. ! was astonished at the number of verses
they had committed. He showed by figures that
in about seven months, the larger children had
committed over twenty thousand scrptural ver-
SEES, and that two girls in class No. one Miss Co
penhaver and Miss Corse, had committed two
thousand and ninety three scriptural verses which
entitled them to q handsome premium. This
class is taught by Miss Susan Corse most esti-
mabe lady, whose equal for zeal and good quail
ifcation as Teacher is rarely to be found. So
great was the love and attachment of her class
towards her as their teacher, that they, on this
occasion, presented her with splendid Bible,
thus showing their appreciation Of her labors. -
This School continues to flourish and grow in iu-
terest.
They have at this time children library and
also one for the young ladies and gentlemen con-
nected with the School. The premiums cost over
forty dollars and they have sixty dollars in bank
as surplus, thus showing that the School is do
ing we'll, even financially. This shows what can
be done where there is will or an inclination 70
do good.
And if there ever was time for US to arouse
to our duty, that time is now. The youth are
getting worse, the middle aged no better, and
thus we live in age where the people are very
little better than those who lived in the days OF
Noah. May all who are SHINING against their
Best Friend, turn unto Him and She willahave
mercy upon them, and to our God for be will
abundautly pardon"
