II the prosperity Of a nation depends partly
on the education Of its population, as politi-
cal economists say, how much importance
should be attached to the moral and religious
culture Of the young. The moral tone Of a
community must necessarily be elevated
where It's members unite in the high and holy
endsavor to train the young souls around
them for life Of usefulness on earth and Of
happiness hereafter. Angels must smile upon
such scene Of moral loveliness, heightened
by the simplicity and evident sincerity Of all
participating, az was witnessed at the Baptist
church Of Mt Salem last Sunday. The occa-
sion was the quarterly review Of the Sunday
school lessons. The programme, however,
was somewhat changed by the introduction Of
Rotations, essays, speeches, etc, which were
highly entertaining and appropriate to the
occasion. From the brief but elective review
Of the quarters lessons by the teacher to the
recitation Of the little child, all cvolved
around she grand central thought Of Gods
love and profered mercy to fallen man. A
we watched the electric sympathy flashing
from the faces Of pupils and teachers while
the sweet songs Of Zion were vibrating in me
lodious cadences through the air, we felt that
Heaven was brought the nearer by the joyful
scene before us. The Church at Mt Salem is
fortunate in having Superintendent who un-
derstands his duties and discharges them with
real and ability, and competent teachers who
prepare themselves with thoroughness and
work with enthusiasm. A VISITOR.
