THE Rev. f. A. Hester, at Sunday
School Institute recently held at JEFF

been examining a Sunday School
library, in which he found books con-
tanning profanity. In some of them
the oaths were printed in French, but
he was confident by some means or
other the children would obtain trans
lations of these words, and it would
be hard to convince them it is wrong to
swear in English and not so in some
other language.
