ed upon we find the following: In The
former church more than 600 boys and
we're instructed in the Sunday schoo'.
Nearly helf Of these have gown up and
gone out TO take their places in the world.

been led FIR astray. and have dIsappoin'-

have been but for the Influence Of this
| school. The impressions of early child
hood are never wholly ettaced. ihey
NAV lie dormant for Years. They may
seem forgotten. But they bear their
| fruit in the formation Of the character.

who have belonged to this school who

ence, who has not been restrained from
some evil and been encouraged III some
good by the impressions here received.
