city, assembled at their respective school
rooms on Saturday morning last, for tho
purpose Of repairing to Riddles Woods, To
be present at Il childrcn's missionary meet
Ing Tie little ones responded in large
numbers and AT about hali.past ten O'Clock
were formed in line by their superintendent
and leachers and marched to the corner OF
Eighth aud Market Streets, where they took
the railway ears for the ground where the
meeting was held. On reaching the Woods
IL was found that the Sabbath School OF
Christ Church, Christian Hundred, was
already present TO participate in the exercises
OF The occasion, swelling the numbers 10
between seven and eight hundred children.
Besides the superintendent and teachers
there was also large number OF the friends
OF the schools IN attendance, altogether pre-
senting an imposing and pleasing spectacle:
Each Of the participants came provided
with basket containing sundry little deli
cacies, and after they had been properly |
taken care OF, that they might be torthcom-
ing when needed, the exercises TOOK place |
and were Of the most interesting character
They were opened by the schools singing
in spirited style, the beautiful and touching
chant "Sutier little children to come unto
me" This was followed by prayer by the
Rev. Dr. Newton, OF Philadelphia.
Addresses were delivered by the Rev. DR..
Newton and Rev, Mr. Parvin, Of Philadel-
phia; Rev Mr. Rising, of New York, and
Rev. MIR. Latimer, OF Pottstown, Pa. The
addresses were well.timed and appropriate,
aud all listened to them with marked
degree of interest and edification. AT the
conclusion OF the remarks the Doxology was
sung, and the Benedictlon pronounced by
by the Rt Rev. Bishop Lee.
The object of the assemblage was TO form

has been inaugurated with view to sending
out more missionaries TO the great west and
other parts of Our land, TO instruct the peo-
