exercises the Chapel became CROWDED, anu
il was with difficulty that oil could be ac-
commodated with even standing room. L.
is very evident that the Chapel building Will
soon have to be enlarged, in order to afford
room enough for the increasing attendance
of those who statedly worship there.
The exercises were opened by Right heY.
Bishop Lee, who spoke few words OF good
counsel to the little army Of happy hearts
before him. Selections from the Psalms,
aud prayer followed. During the exercises
the schools sang several songs in very ere
ditable style, and showed by their harmony |
of voices and good time that they had been |
carefully trained by Superintendent and |
teachers. Those connected with the school |
as officers and teachers deserve the thanks |
of parents for the proficiency eyinced by the
scholars generally in their studies.
Rev. DR.. Williamson read the annual Re-
port, as follows =
REPORT OF CAPT. GALLAGHER, sUPERIN-
TENDENT.
To the Right Rev. A. LEE, Rector in charge
of Calvary Chapel;
Dear Sir,
Another fleeing year has gone, and we
meet day TO celebrate the 10th Anniversary
of Calvary Chapel Sunday School.
Our Heavenly Father has blessed us during
the year just closed with many blessings,
/ and we thank Him with hearts filled with
| gratitude Tor the mercies showered upon us,
and we pray that His blessing may continue
with us through the year upon which we
have just entered.
Our little school began in faith and prayer
IN Front Street, as st. Andrews Mission
School, and the scion put forth by the parent
tree has taken deep root, and is to-day in
condition Chanks be TO God) to take under
its Outspreading branches for shelter and
guidance, the weak and ignorant, the weary
and heavy laden, who may there seek a
place of rest. The little one has grown into
a sturdy tree, whose roots, we trust, are
firmly fixed upon The Crock of Ages" and
may His holy spirit direct and gride all con-
nected with its future management.
We record with sorrow the death Of two
of our infant scholars-Wlllie Young, aged
6 years, and Ir-ne Searles, aged 4, The
former wal one of those rure instances of
early responsibility which God sometimes
YOuchsates to give us, and with all the joy
business OF child-life before him, Wilie's
earnest desire was Ito go home 10 be with
Jesus" and we doubt not that He, of whom
it is written, HE shall gather the lambs
with His a. IN, and carry them in His bosom, :"
! has gathered into His eternal and blessed
, rest these little ones, the first fruits of Cal
vary Chapel Infant School. May their early
death so impress US with the shortness and
uncertainty of life, that we may live more
ClOstly 10 OlTlst, anu Ut IGduy 10 utpuft anu
be with Christ, when the angel of death
calls us hence.
+ For the continued prosperity of our School
I l would say that much is owing to the faith
e tulness OF the teachers in visiting their
q scholars, and not only their own scholars,
:, but also in visiting from house to house, in
il search OF those who attend no Sunday
}. School, and inviting and urging them to
d attend ours

has so greatly increased in numbers; yet il
8 is a matter OF serious regret that we have
outgrown our school accommodations, ant
x have no room to form our new classes
], While We have increased in numbers, an
e happy to say that the missionary spirit o

shown by their increased contributions L

their attention has been called from time I,
