signed were appointed the Executive
COMMITTEES for tho County Sabbath
Schools Association and Il has been
made our dosy, % take the general
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and direction of the
sabbath School work Ia Carroll county
As nothing eau be effected 10 this or
any other enterprise, without some Ell
cieut organisation, We respectfully sug
gest that a meeting &c the friends Of
Sabbath Schools in each District 10 the
coanty, DO held at some central point
in the District, on tho First Saturday
IN May, at 10 o'clock A. NJ. for the pur.
pose Of organizing Sabbath School As
sociatien for each District, to be auSIli
AIRY to the County Association.
To secure promptnnd efficient action,
as well as unitormity ia our operations,
the Executive Committee have prepared
a Constitution for the organization OF
District Associations, which il is be.
lieyed will accomplish these desirable
ends. We would therefore respectfully
urge upon the friends Of Sabbath
Schools ia each District, to meet on the
day specified (frst Saturday in Nay
and proceed to organize an Association
under this Constitution, which is here
with annexed.
The Executive Committe deem il
unnecessary to make lengthy appeal
TO the Christian u,cn and women Of Car
roll county, as TO the duty OF sustaining
the Sabbath School enterprise. Its ne
eessity as well as lis great utility as an
agency for training up the youth Of our
country, so thar they shall become 10.
telligent aud virtuous eitizcns and or
naments 10 the church of Christ, is too
apparent to all christian minds, to need
argument from US, TO influence your
Judgments or stimulate your zeal. We
need however to be more active in this
good work. We hope therefore, that
District Associations will be promptly
organized under this Constitution and
that the friends Of this great christian
enterprise, will take hold OF this work
with renewed zeal and energy. We
earnestly play that God may arouse all
His people, OF every denomination in
Carroll county, to bestir themselves for
Il united and vigorous effort to bring all
the children in the county, under the
influence OF Sabbath School instruction,
Yours very fraternaliy,
