PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

The regular quarterly meeting OF the above asso.
citation was held last evening In the Sunday school
room Of the Church OF the Holy Communion. The
Rev. Dr. Lawrence, rector OF the church, presided.
An essay was read by the Rev. Thomas Gallaudet.
D. D.. on "what Is the present status OF the sunday
Schools it what 1t should bes" This question: ne
said 1t was difflcut to because Of the desul
tory way in which Sunday school work was carried
on, the few statistics and the little organza.
ton that there was for counsel ana prayer
among the teachers. 1t was an institution that was
unfavorable to Its proper growth and Developments
He was not DESTROYS that there should DC cast iron
organization for every sunday school; there must
be latitude that would allow for great diversity
OF taste and the individual teaching OF the truths OF
the Gospel. He would advise the meeting together
frequently for the suppcaon OF the Divine blesslng
to rest upon their work. FOR counsel and the putting
forth of the various modes Of action that might be
agreed upon. He thought that the bishops were the
divnely appointed heads OF the ChMrch, ana that II
the bishops were to gather together those engaged
In SUNDAY school work IN their several
processes and confer with them as to the
best mode Of doing that work, the erect OF
two or three day discussing Sunday school questions
and the STATE OF their schools in their respective
dioceses. This would have the effect OF placing the
Sunday school In the position 1t entitled to- Tue
reverend Doctor concued by stating that he had
been for many years past engaged In other iabors
than that OF Sunday Schools and he did profess
to. nave the practical knowledge that many around
heavenly blessing might rest upon all Sunday
schools. The reading Of tho essay was followed BY
short discussion on the organization aud class1ca.

abruptly, and covering some ten acres Of the be.
