The SUNDAY SCHOOL QUEsT1oN.-On
Sunday night last Mr.. R. G. Pardie, of
New York, who has spent nearly his whole
life in the Sunday School work, delivered
an admirable address on the subject at the
First Presbyterian chuxch. It was clear,
practical, and well-condensed. Some in
teresting facts were stated by the lecturer,
who has just been visiting the Sunday
schools from Canada to Alabama. One of
them Is very sad. It is that out of 9,000,-
600 children In the United States of q
proper age for instruction, only 1000 900
attend Sabbath school, leaving 5000, 900
doing nothing, or worse, on the Sabbath.
To get at these little strays, various sys-
TENS have been adopted, but that of or
ganized visiting by teachers or members of
the church has been found the best. In
one case, by this means, the speaker had
known city divided into districts,
and so thoroughly canvassed that not
one-tenth of the children in it were
absent from Sunday schools. To one
school, in one year, 536 scholars were
added. A. more thorough acquaintance
among the teachers is also important, and
something that has not sufficiently been
attended to. This is not the case in one
school that he mentioned in New York
city. at the teachers meeting of that
school there sits one Of the most distin-
guished judges of the New York bench !;
next to him, an apprentice in an iron foun-
dry next to him, q lady worth 100000 /;
and next to her, young sewing girl-all
of these persons, in such different condi-
tions of life, knowing each other we'll, and
aiding one another by suggestions and in
terchange of experience and opinions.
The speaker urged the fact that a large
proportion of the membership of churches
came from the Sabbath schools. In many
churches eighty-fve per cent. of the mem-
bers came from that source. The greatest
number came from those schools where the
teachers aimed at the conversion Of the
pupils. In church he had visited in New
York city, the pastor, in answer to an in
quiry, told him that Of the admissions to
the church last year only one was from the
Sabbath school, and the year before only
two; and yet Mr.. Pardie found that in q
church not dozen blocks distant from it,
on the same street, out of the admissions
last year forty-seven were from the school,
and the year before fifty-four. THE diff
ference arose out Of the fact that in the
school belonging to the latter church the
teachers aimed at the conversion Of the
children. One of them said to him, "Of
six scholars I commenced the year with,
every one has become servant of God"
Mr.. Pardie gave many illustrations of
the benefits of a general acquaintance
among teachers, which contributes so much
to unity of action. The address was very
interesting one, and was attentively lis
tened to,
