Adjourned to meet at the Association to he
held with the Peters Creek Bap,ist Church.
The history of the past has abund,ntly test
cd the value and blrssrdncss of this in.tiu
ton. Its influences for good are too well
known and too highly appreciated by the
christian world to render it necessary that we
should argue it's claims to universal support.
Wherever Sunday Schools have been estub
lished their beneficial influences have been
felt throughout the church and the land and
II Is only to he regretted that every church in
the land does not engage heartily in the good
work.
