Unions nave been organized, and are in

ship in the county. The current year, We
trust, will witness every one thus organized.
The degree of interest manifested in this
work by the friends of Sabbath Schools is
every way c~ommendable both for spirit and

arder, are the greatest lovers of it and are re-
ceiving as well as comforting the largest
measure of benefit. More work may vet be

laborers into the field and go learning how
10 do or work as to secure the greatest re-
suits. We nave reason for rejoicing over
the number of conversions as reported.

There are periods Of sowing the seed, as
well as harvesting the fruit, and the last
few years partake of the former, and the
prospect is that future years will be char
acterized BY harvesting as well as sowing
more and NJ ore ~abundantly. There is Cn3
fact very encouraging to every true Chris
tiau, and THAI is, the willingness aud gcadi-
ness of those of different denominat .ons 10

children the fundamental truths Of Chris
tianity. The tendency on the part of all
denominations is TO join hanas and really
