| KEoxux AND ITS SAsRArR ScHoots. Mr.
| Rafus Hubbard was appointed BY the Sab
| bath School Teachers Institute Of this cit
| 10 se. the statistics Of the various Ssbbatl
| Schools Of this city. Thus much Of his r.
port, givisg the syaops;s Of his lsbors an
forming the conclusion Of his report, We put
| lish now, and will give the fuller stAtemer
| tomorrow:
From the above report We deduce the 70
lowing statisti0:
/ Whole number in the Sabbath Schools an
| under religious Observation-Disclosures enrolie
| 23,3; 500 attend two schools, and ~ ma
tdr of course are counted twice in this grim
totsl, leaving /, $50. OF this number 300 ii
Catholics, which only leaves $50 schoiars
all h. Protestant schools. There are 70
ia the city about 1900 youth, between th
ages Of five and twenty-one. These atatii
ties bring out the significant fact that the'
are in the ely 2, $50, or nearly txo-thirds
all our youth, who are not in the Saba,
School, and the strong presumption il thl
they are receiving little or no religious il
stluctien.
Surely, this should stimulate oil lovers
Christianity and good order TO redeuble Oh
lgenee in the Sabbath School work, an
inc;te US to renewed efforts to bring more
teaching in our midst.
/ Another fact brought out by his report
that only 1876 Of the whole number Of you,
in the city are professediy Christian. In th
| age, when the principle is fully recognize
that children arane minently the subjects
religious influence, surely a much larger nun
her should be brought to lore and serve ii
blessed Savior.
We have cause of gratitude that there
such liberal spirit in The several churck'
IN devo,ing money to the religious culture
the children. Nearly 81 900 il reported
used irihs current exper SEES, bssides betwee
/ two and three thousand dollars expended
he erection Of mission school building
There seems to be q full supply of readir
matter, aud every outward appliance to NAL
our work successful.
| one fact is brought out by this report th'
calls loudly for reform. Only about one
sixth Of The eniire membership is engaged
this work in all the Protestant churches j
the city. Surely larger number can fu
profitable work in this department. OF Chri
iisn labor.
In conclusion, permit me to urge upon a
| Christian men aud women renewed ;ntere
IN This cxuse, until many more Of our youi
are brought under the influence of rsligio,
teaching.
i All 0: which is respectfully submitted.
