sure our friends, readers and citizens of
every name and denomination that We
cannot urge too strongly upon their at
tention the Sabbath School Institute
which is to be held in this city to day
and tomorrow, and of which we have
given frequent writings in our columns.
No pains have been spared by the COM
mittee having this enterprise in charge,
to make it highly instructive and enter
tanning. and we trust our citizens will
not let this splendid opportunity pass
by without availing themselves of it's
advantages in every particular People
must not think that because THEY are
not personally and directly engaged in
the Sabbath School work that therefore
their presence is not desired. aud hear
tily welcomed. On the contrary these
persons are the very ones we desire to
get interested, and engaged in this
great and good cause. Neither, as we
have said before, it is denominational
or sectarian in its character, but, en-
braces every eyangelic denomination.
AS we have shown in our yesterdays
issue, the Institute will be divided into
five sessions as follows: Tuesday after
noon and evening and Wednesday fore
noon, afternoon and evening, hence
every one in the city will have the op-
portunity to attend at least one session.
The committee have secured the Sc
cond Presbyterian Church, in east Jer.
sey street, near Broad, which. is by far
the best point in the city, for an enter
prise of this kind to take place in, the
church being central accessible, COM
modious, light and cheerful, and the
committee desire to take this occasion
to publicly express it's thanks both to
Mr.. Patterson and the trustees, for
their kindness in permitting the doors
of their beautiful Church edifice to be
thrown open for this purpose. The first
Institute of this series was held last
month, 'ln Railway, and proved fine
success. Shall the citizens and friends
of the Sabbath School cause in Eliza
both be behind hand in helping to
render the present Institute also Sue
cess in this place ? AS we write in the
early morning, we are sorry to see that
the sky is overcast with clouds. and the
rain is falling drearily, but we trust
that, even if it should rain during the
entire time, it will prove no detriment
to a full attendance at the Institute.
Rain or shine, our speakers and work
ers will be on hand, as Mr.. George r.
Jaques, our efficient and able county
secretary, whom we saw last evening,
informs us, that he has received letters
from the various speakers, and that
they will certainly be here. The names
of the speakers have already several
times been given to the public, both in
our columns and also in about three
thousand circulars and programmes
which have been circulated thoroughly
throughout the city. ...r
AS this is County Institute, many
strangers and friends are expected here
from out of town, whom, we desire to
say, have been amply provided for as
TO personal comforts, by the hopitality
of our citizens. One of the sessions is
to be presided over by Rev Mr.. Rein
hart, of EIizabethport, and we desire to
take this occasion to especially invite
all the citizens of that place, to come
up and be welcome. At the second
session, this evening, Mr.. James H.
Kellogg, of Troy, N. Y, the able secre-
tary of the Rensselaer, County IN. "
Institute, and who besides, is an earn
est Sunday school worker and fluent
speaker, and who comes to us all this
way, on purpose to take part in these
exercises, will deliver his first address
this evening, at s O'Clock.
A quarter of an hour before the be-
ginning of each session, Mr.. Chatter
ton, the polite and obliging sexton of
the Second church, will ring the bell,
and when our citizens hear its sound at
this unusual time during the week days
let them remember that it is in behalf
of the Sunday School Teachers Insti-
tute of Union county, and then let them
prepare to hasten hither.
