REPORT ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 3
Your Committee on Sunday Schools beg leave
to report That they are not insensible to the
great Importance of the subject submitted to them
for their consideration They regard the insti-
ton of the youthful mind in religious knowledge.
1t is in keeping with the spirit of the times in
which we live.
In The Sunday School the seeds of virtue and
piety are sown, as it were, into good soil, that
will bring forth in due time, cOpious harvest to
the glory Of God, and the well-being and happi-
ness of the human race, both in time and eterni-
~. 1t deserves to receive the endorsement and
support of all. -. = ......-...s s.
Hitherto the colored people of this country
have had but very few facilities afforc them to
acquire an education But as the condition of
fha off how hae fhofn If
state of slavery to that of freedom, there is now
chance for those who will improve it, to acquire
at least a knowledge of several of the most use
full branches of learning. Yet still there are in
many sections but few, if any, weekday Schools
established But we are glad to say, that this
deficiency can in great measure be remedied by
the use of Sabbath Schools We, therefore, re-
commend that Sunday Schools be established in
all our congregations as soon as practicable.
