AT the conclusion Of Mr. Reynolds
remarks, Of which our space VIII per-
nit W. TO give but a mcnBrc synopsis,
several hymns were sung, AFTER when
Rev. stephen pnNson addressed the
meeting. He took the broad ground
that the sabbath school Interest was
not inferior 10 that of the church, for
In those schools must be trained the
future men and women who are to
guide and control aud direct the desll-
MES of the church. THIS was no sec.
tartan movements all churches nnd
all men could meet and cOmmlngle
here In one harmonious whole. The
Cnusethey werebatllingfor waslhe cause
of Characterization. lie hoped that no
sectnrnn feeling would prevail, but
that good people of all denominations
would cooperate In this grand aud
glorious undertaking, lie spoke of the
necessity Of compelling obedience
from children, not by the cruel lash,
but by words Of love and affection.
He spoke offhe necessity of compell-
ing a prompt attendance at Sabbath
school, aud related several anecdotes,
wherein he referred TO the sad ana
evil ending of boys who We're permit
ted by their parents TO remain away
from the sabbath school, and the
bright, useful and honorable careers Of
those who early inhibited from the
fount of truth. He appealed to the
children present to be dutiful, obedl-
ent and loving to their parents, and
more especially to the Great Parent
above. His remarks were listened to
with marked attention throughout,
and seemed to make deep impression
on the hearts OF his hearers, both old
and young.
After singing hymn, and prayer
the meeting adjourned.
Every available space in the church
was occupied. Many were compelled
to turn away, there not being standing
room within the church. Full five
hundred ladies and children were pres
ent, and the great truths uttered and
the good lessons taughtwill, THE HER
AID hopes, long be remembered.

have his prayer planned out; he should
greet lis scholars with smiling face
and kind words; his prayer should
always be short, pointed and simple;
the custodian should have charge of no
business in school time; he could do no
good where iutertered with; there
should be no running in out during
school hours; the same ducorum that is
observed in the church should be OBJ

should not be too much talking there

aud short reviews; there must be cen
trail thought; Sunday school papers
should be distributed at the close of
school. AS to the school, ii should
