BRoAD-STREET METHODIST SUNDAY-SCH00L
AND MISSIONARY SOCIETIES ON SUNDAY LAST.
The beautiful afternoon drew q very large
concollrse of people to witness the annual
celebration of the Broad-Street Methodist

were conducted by DR.. j. Edward Chase,

Mr.. Chamberlayne. :..s5
After the usual services customary on
such occasions, the Superintendent rem
dered his report, which was an interesting
one. During the past year only one death
has occurred in the school, and the interest
which has been evinced, rs we'll as the
fruits of labor both of teachers and scholars
is clearly seen by a look into the progress Of
the school. The report also shows that the
management 5of the societies is under the
direction of seven officers.
The school has 80 teachers and 220
scholars, nearly all of whom are in regular
attendance.
The Dorcas Society connected with the
school clothes about eighty five children,
who are thus enabled to attend Sunday
school and church. The school is formed
into missionary society, whose duties are
to bring in uncared-for children and raise
money for Sunday school purposes. Each
class constitutes q Junior missionary society,
with the following names and notices,
which were represented on Sunday alter
