tho Sunday school Of St. Maryss Church took place
yesterday afternoon. .

| showed that the school had now 155 pupils
| against less than 100 in August last, that the ay
| erage attendance was IS boys and SO girls, and
that the number of pupils was rapidly increasing
This gratifying result was held to be mainly dut
to the zeal and patient intelligence OF the teach
ers, and to the introduction OF the practice OIL
singing appropriate hymns at the opening and
| closing of the school. A Sunday-school library
has been formed, and nearly all the Sunday
school children, as well as many members OF the
congregation, are regular subscribers.

would be richly rewarded by God for their dill.
gence in imparting religious instruction to the
young, and urged the children to continue to be
attentive, and to ground themselves thoroughly
