We publish to-day the programme of
the Sun6sy-schOOl institute, TO be held at
the First Baptist church, in this city,
to-day and tomorrow, IN the inter
est especially Of Baptist sundsy-school
work, This programme Will be enforced
by Rev. s. W. Msrston, who, as q general
conductor. is charged with tho manage
msnt Of q meeting that cannot fail 10 re-
suit in good to all who may take part in
the very interesting exercises. The Rev,
", Randolph, d D, who, together with
the Rev. MI. Lsndrum of this city, will
tell the audience how to establish and
sustain Sun~day-schools and increase
their efficiency, is a gentleman of
large and varied experience in
Sunday school work, q traveller of repute
and thOrouahly imbued with the necss-
Bity for Sundsy-schcols, as we think, the
greatest Of all the means resorted to by
the Christian church for the 0issemtna-
ton Of the great truths which strengthen
with us SIS cOnvic 'ons Hr. Randolph has
recently retUrn,.t from Europe, through
which he mad extended tour, soms OF
the results of " lich, as they hsar upon
the interesting lA6me he has in band,
he may reasonably be expected to
give. The Rev. Mr.. Marston, the

question, and nay be expected to do his
psrt In an intelligent way 30 SIS to bring
before those present the necessity for not
only In a quasi sort of wsy supporting
Sunday-schoolH, but encouraging them
up to the fullest Measure of their
deservings as the entry-wsy to the
church of Christ. Beside the gentlemen
named Rev. L B. Fish, superintendent of
Sundsy-sobools Of Kentucky viii be pres
emit and add his valuable experience to
that of his brother, clergymen. Also, the
Rev. DR.. Tichenor is down for s part
which we know be can I'LL to the satisfsc-
ton of his hearers. Other reverend gen
tlemen viii participate in these exercises,
and we feel safe in assuring the religious
tbs religious public generally that the
morning, afternoon and night exercises
will be worthy, no only of the great de-
nomination in whose special behalf they
are given, but Of the Christian church
generally.
We suggest the propristy of an invita-
ton 10 the Primes Alexis 20 attend the
Sunday school exercises. We find from
the st. Louis Democrat that during his
stay in st. Louis, he, with his suite, at
tended the exercises of the Sunday school
Of the Boston Street church, becoming, as
that paper puts Ii, q Sunday school
scholar for the first time In his life. After |
the commotion among the scholars, ex- |
cited by his presence, had abated the
Democrat says the DISTINGUISHED visitors /
were conducted TO seats on the platform, |
from which, afterthe Embarrassment occss-
Toned by their novel experience had worn
of they observed the strange proceedings
with marked interest. The superintent,
E. D. Jones, Esq, at g given signal,
brought the school to their fest, when the
duke was formally presented. As he WIS
suffering from q W cold, Chief Coun

expressed great qualification at the large
number present, their excellent singing,
and the strict order maintained. He also
said, In behalf of the Duke, that he was
glsd to know that children have such ep-
for eductstion in this country,
and hoped for the prosperity ofthe school,
Mr.. Jones responded by saying that he
was highly complimented by the presence
so distinguished a personage as Duke
and that he was more than
to remember that immedi-
ately on his arrival on our SHIRE
he repaired without delay, to his
Own church and there offered thanks
to the Almighty God for the kind
.providential care that followed the heet
that bore him over the perilons deep.
I'VE worship" said the superintendent,
'the same God, and IL Is the earnest
prayer OF this school that q continuance
Of b same divine protection may be
Vouchsafed 20 bis Imperial Highnsss dur !
ing his soJourn and travel through our
beloved land The Duke feelingly re-
oognized the sentiment, and at the close,
after hearing some Of the sweet songs OF
school, shook hands with the scholars
md teachers, and retired much Rratihed
gith his VISIT" Would It not be we'll 10
lfford our luxurious guest an opportunity
If realizing what the Sundsy-school svs-
EN- of Memphis is9 We think so, and I
therefore, make the suggestion that he be

friends can tell him Whist thew j
