Mr.. paXsOn said the international
Sunday school convention would meet
in Baltimore on The 10Th Of April, and
extended cordial invitation to Texas,
through her delegates, to be present.
Mr.. Reed submitted the following
resolution, which was adopted, on the
question discussed Saturday, "Are we
sufficiently awake to the importance
of this w0rk?'
Resolved, That the little inter est
manifested in our schools by parents,
the press, and the pulpit, and even the
teachers, shows conclusively how little
importance we attach to the work, and
that we earnestly deplore this indifler-
ence, and urge persistent discussion
and agitation of this great subject on
all pastors, teachers, editors and lovers
of good society everywhere.
Resolved, That while we heartily
indorse all efforts of secular nature
to lift up the degraded, we do claim
that this Sunday school work is pre-
eminently filter to benefit the individ-
ual citizens, and thereby help all
society, which rests on the individual
as its unit, thus SOLVING the great prob
lem Of modern society by making our
youth God-fearing and Bible-reading
citizens.
Mr.. Reed submitted the following
resolution, which was adopted on the
the subject of "The Superintendent
his work and his qualifications"
Resolved, That superintendent
should be man who appreciates the
magnitude of the work in which he is
engaged. He should see that his school
is orderly, punctual and systematic in
its government. He should be pune.
tual himself, have plan in his admin
istration, guard his teachers against all
interference from officers or others du-
ring the time allotted for the teaching
