Your Committee on Sunday Schools
beg leave TO report that they have not
had time TO examine the few reports that
have been received from the schools Of
the district. The imperfect character Of
thetreports received, with the TACT that no
reports have been received from many
schools, makes II, 10 our judgment, mex.
pedient Tor US 10 attempt an estimate oil
the actual condition OF the schools in this
district at the present time. We are i'm.
pressed, however, with the conviction
that we have In the District Conference

greatly improve and develope the interest
10 and the efficiency Of the Sabbath
School cause. What Is wanted Is Q full

the object Of this resolution, that previous

ference printed blanks shall be furnished
10 each Superintendent, SO that the re.
ports may be made complete and uni.
form.
We would recommend also that at each
session Of the District Conference some
time should be devoted to practical illus
tration OF the best methods OF teaching,
Of government and other subjects affect.
ing the interests Of Sunday School work.
We conclude our report by recommend
ing the adoption Of the following resolu.
lions:

The Committee appointed 10 assign
fields OF labor to the Local Preachers re-
ported as follows: . q G.2 il45.g
The Committee on the work of local
preachers and exhorters wish to report
that they have labored under no small
difficulty In arranging the work assigned
them, from the fact that the work Is new,
first and second, that there was a great
difference Of opinion as to how the work
should be arranged, and whether breth.
rem should not be consulted in relation to
what work would be convenient for them.
But feeling that as far as they could
get the necessary information it was their
duty TO assign work to all local preachers
and exhorters, they have formed dis.
tinct plan for the district embracing The
city stations and q part of New Liberty
clrcuit[Also fora district composed Of
a portion Of Marshal circuit, Moundsvllle
station. - 80
They have divided the balance Of Grave

count Of his age,
And recommend that the plan for bal.
ance oil Local Preachers on General Cir
cult be to alternate In regular work with
the pastor.
The committee ask that the Presiding
Elder and preAcherin charge be instructed
at his first round In next year TO arrange
work and assign any brethren to the same
