SECOND DAY.
As per announcement In the col
,, umns of THE HERALD of Sunday, tn,
!, sabbath school met in mass conven
,, tion, Sunday evening, at 3 o'clock, II
the Baptist church.
The exercises were opened with {
short and fervid prayer by Mr.. Reyn
: olds, followed by the singing of severa
. beautiful hymns, after which Mr.
Reynolds addressed the meeting. He
spoke for some time, referring, in the
course of his remarks, to the import
ance of this meeting, and the great and
beneficial effects which must flow from
the labors of body like that now in
session. He referred to the great neces-
sity of parents encouraging Sabbath
schools by their presence and sympa-
thy; said that parents too often looked
upon it more as a matter of labor than
of love and duty, the sending Of their
little ones to Sabbath school, and
warned them of the great and
terrible responsibility they were
assuming by such course.
The Sabbath school was the nee
essary adjunct of the church. 1t was
there that the first great principles Of
love, truth and religion were first in
culcated into the youthful mind, and
prayed that parents might consider
well what kind of seed they were SOW
ing, lest in their old age they reap the
whirlwind. He spoke feelingly and
simply to the hundreds of little chill
dren present, and begged them to come
TO Jesus in their youth, so that, by a
life of religious duty they might well
earn the tribute, at the judgment day.
of "Well done, thou good and faithful
servant"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Reynolds
remarks, of which our space will per-
NIT us to give but meagre synopsis,
several hymns were sung, after which
Rev. Stephen PaXson addressed the
meeting. He took the broad ground
| that the Sabbath school interest was
not inferior to that of the church, for
in those schools must be trained the
future men and women who are to
guide and control and direct the desti-
MES of the church. This was no Sec
tartan movement; all churches and
all men could meet and cOmmingle
here in one harmonious whole, The
causethey ywerebattlingfOrw wasthe cause
of Characterization lie hoped that no
sectarian feeling would prevail, but
that good people of all denominations
would cooperate in this grand and
glorious undertaking. He spoke of the
necessity of compelling obedience
from children, not by the cruel lash,
but by words of love and affection.
He spoke of the necessity of compell-
ing prompt attendance at sabbath
school, and related several anecdotes,
wherein he referred to the sad and
evil ending of boys who were permit
ted by their parents to remain away
from the Sabbath school, and the
bright, useful and honorable careers OF
those who early imbibed from the
fount of truth. He appealed to the
children present to be dutiful, obedi-
ent and loving to their parents, and
