Every persons feelings have a
lront-door and a side-door by which
they may be entered. TIE front
door is on the street. Some keep it
always open; some keep it latched,
some locked, some bolted, with a
chain that will let you peep in, and
not get it; and some nail it up so
that nothing can pass its Threshold.
This front-door leads into a passage
which opens into an ante room, and
this into the interior departments
The side-dOor opens at once into the
sacred chambers. There is aim ct
always, at least, one key to this side
door. This Is carried for years hid

ANNIvERsARY OF GENITAL SCHOOLS, YESTERDAY.
The anniversary of the Sunday Schools con.
nected with Central Presbyterian Church, cele-
brated, yesterday, was a most pleasant affair in
every respect The exercises were brief and OF a
kind well calculated to make the children htppy.
For this occasion, the church, around the pull
pit was decorated in neat and handsome man
ner On the right OF the pulpit, was a small
mound, on which was raised cross on the left,
a book was represented on Q mound also, III
which were incnbed the ten commandments,
aud on an arch over the pulpit was an appropr-
ate inscription.
In the morning a sermon, especially to the
children, was preached by Rev. Mr.. Conkey,
and delivered in way, 10 natural to Mr.. Conkey,
that it could not fail to be uuderstood by all the
little folks, as well a. the larger ones. At the
conclusion OF this sermon books were distribu-
ted to the scholars as rewards Of merit for CONF
mltting to memory the catechism and portions
Of the Scripture.
The afternoon services opened with the read
ing Of the report Of the superintendent, E. 4.
Taylor One very remarkable instance OF the
report was that not single death had occurred
in the past year, among the scholars, number
ing some four hundred children.
Especially worthy of notice. on this occasion,
was the infant class, under the charge OF Rev,
Mrs. Conkey, for their efficiency in singing, re-
citations, etc. Two little members OF this clAss
received a handsome Testament, each, for com,
hitting to memory, the short 0atschism entire.
THE exercises concluded with singing prayer
and finally the benediction.

sunday school Union Festival .

ITS CLOSE ON sATURDAY-THE JUBILEE DEBT Still,
UNLIQUIDATED-THE CHILDRESs HOUR.
The Sunday School Union Festival closed on
Saturday after a very successful run of three
evenings. The attendance was much larger
upon this occasion than previous ones-in fact
the vast hall was packed with joyous people.
Few articles were left unsold, but, we under
stand, the receipts were not sufficient to entire
ly liquidate the Jubilee indebtedness.
The great speciality Of the festival was the
chldrena hour, on Saturday afternoon-when
men laid aside their manly ways and became
once more the centre of childish sports. just
imagine some Of our citizens personating the
elephant the "dorg," or the giasticutis, or else
condescending from the field of forensic effort
TO the platform Of canine sagacity running
around the hall amusing the children with their
yelpings, and you have some idea Of the manner
in which the entertainment of the hour was CON
Quoted. OF course the children were delighted,
and entered with zest into the enjoyment OF
the occasion, since the participation OF older
folks relieved them Of all restraint. kris Kin
gle" was personated by one of the Committee on
Entertainments, who, seated in his chaise, was
drawn about the room by sixteen little girls
The entertainments for the children were nove
and unique, and furnished fund Of Amusement
for them.
