ESQ.,, elbows an encouraging degree of pro-
gress during the three years that the Sunday
school has been organized. He recommended
10 the parents to acquaint themselves from
time to time with the progress and standing
of their children, by consulting aud signing
the cards which are furnished to the pupils,
which would prevent the unjust suspicion of
favorltism In the awards of prizes and marks
of distinction. The school now numbers one
hundred and ten boys and one hundred and
three girls. and the average attendance dur
ing the past year has been one hundred and
seventy.fve. The death of Master James
Moran, q promising pupil OF the school, which
occurred during the past year, was feellngly
alluded to. The Christian Doctrine Associa-
ton connected with the school was mentioned
as having contributed greatly to Its success,
aud the cooperation of the parlshioners In
advancing the objects of the association was
earnestly solicited. This association had usu-
ally furnished the means to purchase the gifts
distributed as annual prizes, but this year the
amount collected had not been sufficient for
that purpose, and the deficiency had been sup.
piled by the generosity Of their pastor, the
Rev. @. J. Croghsu. In conclusion tho super-
ntendent returned the sincere thanks OF the
sundsy.school 10 the good Sisters 1sadore
and Angeline, for their untlring zeal In ad-
vancIng The children In their Christian du-
lies, and to all the teachers of the school Tor
their faithful labors and unceasing Interest In
the religious instruction OF the children en-
trusted to their care.
The school was then briefly addressed by the
Rev. Mr.. Croghan, who returned his thanks 10
the teachers for their labors 10 behalf OF the
children, and to the children for their gener-
ally prompt and full attendance during the
year. He also exhorted the parents 10 mani
fest an increased Interest In the spiritual vel.
fare of their children by causing them to at
tend regularly to their catechlsm, their con-
fesslons, their Sunday school and their morn.
ing and evening deyotlons.
After the singing OF another hymn the
children who had won prizes by their dill.
gence and regular attendance during esthe
year were called up in turn by the superinten-
dent and presented with their prizes by the
pastor. The first prize for the boys, which
was awarded 10 Master John Brown, consisted
of neat silver badge In the form OF cross,
with q pin attached. The first prize an
