nEroRT ON EDUCATION.

is Committee to whom was referred the
subject Of Education, beg respectfully to re-
port, that IN looking over the scope of country
that lies within.the boundaries Of our District,
they observe with sadness of hGart lamcntn-
bic neglect of the intellectual cultivation of
the young, in whom are all the hopes of the
Church, and of tho future progress of our pco-
pie his neglect is occasioncd not so much
from amy want of appreciation of the impor-
tancc of the subject Ms by the sad calamitics
that have como upon our people, by which
they have been SO impoverished, that in many
in,tanccs they require for the subsistence of
their families the productive labor of their
children, who should be in our institutions of
learning, preparing themselves for future use
fulncss. The few who, in the country, could
pay tuition arc not sufficient to support a
school Very few arc able to send their chill.
idrcn from home, incurring the expense not on
lyof tuition but also the heavier expense of
board. The result Of all is, that there are few
schools in the country and our established in-
sttutiops are lungushing for tue want Of pa
tronago.
Tho Importance of education cannot be over
estimated. Next to the power of the grace of
God, the cultivation of the mind is the most
potent agent on earth, and man only attuins to
tho highest state of cisilzaton and acme of
his glory, when these two are engaged in the
highest degree your committee would impress
upon this Conference the necessity Of ,lcnomi-
national education. Religion and education
should never be separated man was made to
.slorify God. All holy intclliecnccs are actua-
ted only by this moiye the glory of God and
education is only potent good, it only fulGls
the grand purposes Of the Creator, when under
the influence and direction of tho grace of
God. This union can only bc secured by
Dcnominational Schools. From these aspects
OF the subject your committee know not that
they can recommend anything better than that
we encourage our people to use every effort by
economy, and by labor to educate their cllil-
drcn, and that We always advise TINT they
