Annauersdry Celebration. - On Sunday
afternoon last, the Sunday Schools attached |
to st. Andrew s Protestant Episcopal Church
celebrated their thirty eighth anniversary in
ine ohurch' notwithstanding the rain every
class was present, and the attendance of
scholars gratityingly full The audience
also was large and appreciatve The chill |
dren acquitted themselves with much credit
and showed by their proficiency that the
care and labor bestowed upon them bv their
teachers during the past year, had not been
in vain. One of the most interesting and
pleasing features OF the anniversaries Of A.
Andrew Schools, is the alacrity and plea.
sure evinced by the children in giginq their
contributions TO the cause of religion instead
OF taking something in the shape Of a present
as is the custom in some churches. As offer

beloved and estimabe Bishop, smile of iov
and gadness lights up the faces of the dear
little donors, and seems to touch the heart
and cause every beholder TO feel Tint ii ia
better to give than to receive,
Prominent in the exercises of this ami
versary was the "Robert Smith, school
This school is composed exclusively of col
ored ehildren, and is the only one in Viii
mington that receives regular religious in
struction on Sundays Not more TO the
credit of St. Andrews Church than TO tlfB
shame Of all other churches in this city do we
record this fact. We cannot helm but think
that those churches which refuse or NEGLECT
to give religious instruction to the coiored
children OF our city, cater to'a miserable
prejudice, or are guilty of gross dereliction
of duty, which as Christians they will some
day hnd dlilicult 10 explain away to the sat
lsiactlon Oh thelr own consciences at least.
The singing by the classes generally was
much admired, but that of the Robert Smith
school was universally commended. Much
OF the harmony and precision of the music
OF this School was due TO the superior man

this occasion By the organ, at which the
daughter of .the Bishop presided II was
interesting to listen to this gifted and
amiable young lady thus calling forth The
melodious tones of the organ in graceful and
artistic touches, to minglc with the musical
cadences of the ebOn Sunday School children
in praises to God, the common Father ofus
all. Fitting and appropriate indeed to this
was the beautiful floral motto, "HosANNA,'' .
that sprung up as if by magic across the
altar during the exercises.
The annual report of the Schools was read
by Rev. MIR. Mcllvaine, the Superintendent.
It shows gratifying results of the labors of
the teachers, and is every way encouraging.
Short addresses were delivered to the chill
