schools" from our deservedly
popular Book Editor. ] was much
interested in reading it. [ have
felt great interest in the subject of
the origin and progress OF modern
Sunday schools. Some Of your
readers will be interested by the
following facts connected with
this question, taken from an ar
ticle which appeared in The Mag
nolia, a periodical published at
Savannah, Ca, November, l84l,
signed w. B. S.:
"Robert Raikes was not the first
to establish a Sunday school. The
leading feature of that institution
had been developed in various
places years before the Gloucester
editor proposed in his paper the
adaptation of the plan to the NOR
al wants of the poor children OF
England. It is interesting to 60
back beyond his day, and search
| out isolated individuals hero and
there who had conceived and exc
cuted the design, etc. The earll-
estinstance I have found approach
ing our Sabbath school system oc-
ours in the history of our own
State (Georgia), under the labors
of one Of the primitive Methodists.
Among those who accompanied
General Oglethorpe on his second
voyage to Georgia were the Rev.
Messrs. John and Charles Wes,
Icy, Benjamin Ingham, and Mr.
Charles Delamotte. Mr.. Delamotte
was not a clergyman, but had re-
ceived q good education, and in
connection with John Wesley es'
tabIished a school of thirty or tor
ty children at Savannah, and the
following account Of their day and
Sunday instruction is extracted
from a letter Of John Wesley's

of January, 1887, to the associa

The spring cart is here already to

tako your tickets ?
Mrs. Glennor gave him the tick
cts for their trunks, and the ready
coachman soon had them piled in
the light cart which mad followed
the carriage.
Now we arc ready declared
Mrs. Glennor. But the coachman
appeared to be looking for some
one else.
Our young Miss Henrietta went
up to town yesterday. We ex-
pected her back by this train
Here I am, Sam + called famil-
lar voice from the door of the Ia
dies room and the homely young
lady in plain linen, who had shared
Mabel's seat, came out Of her re-
treat inside, and approached them.
MY goodness = was Mrs. Glen
nor's dismayed ejaculation, as she
flushed up to the roots Of her
hair.
But Mabel sprung forward with
| extended hand.
What are You Henrietta Ham
ilton? l am so glad!
And you are Miss Glennor L
am glad, too,' said the young lady,
offering her hand most cordially
4 would have made myself known
in the train, but am always so
shy with strangers, and l was
not sure who you were till now.
Mrs. Glennor, : am very glad to
welcome you to Hamilton. l love
your daughter already, and l am
sure we shall have a delightful
visit. Let US 60 now; Sam is
waiting.'
This prompt courtesy, so deli
cately ignoring her own rude be-
havior in the train, was a greater
rebuke to Mrs. Glennor than any
show of anger could have been.
| For once her ready tongue was
at a loss, and she only followed
her young hostess to the carriage,
silently and with flushed face.
But Henrietta's kindly spirit
soon put her at her ease, except
when she remembered her morti-
flying blunder.
1t was a wholesome lesson, how
ever. And tho next time Mrs.
Glennor meets a lady in the train,
whether she is robed like a queen
or in plain linen, she will treat
her as such, and never judge by
appearance.

THE LIGHT kE f 2 E II s
DAUGHTER.

Never fairer maiden lived
Than bonny, blue-eyed Alice;
Her hair was like the dafodils,
Her brow like lily's chaliee,
Within the lighthouse, from babe
She'd dwelt and known no sadness,
But ev'ry night dreamed happy dreams,
And woke each day to gladness.
And closely crowding round her homo,
The spirits of the water,
With many shell and sea-plant rare
And oceanjewel sought her;
For brighter far than sun or star
They held the keepers daughter!
But sailed a ship from foreign lands,
And a handsome lover brought her;
He came to see tie lighthouse grim,
And saw the keepers daughter!
The eve the wedding-day was set
Her fathers face was clouded,
And cen the light that burned on high
Seemed half in darkness shrouded.
Anu SSQ tuS W4uA AOeAAO0 UoSA sAAS ~-~~
Of her old friends bethought her
And leaning upon the door, looked out
Upon the moonlit water,
Where whispers low went 10 and fro
Anent the keepers daughter.
"Fsrewelli" she cried; when night ls gone
shall no longer tarry,
But HE to town, at early morn,
My own true love to marry"
And bending low, q kiss she threw
"Good-by, my waves, forever"
But ah! though passed the night away.
Her wedding day came never
For from the flashing, silvered foam
White arms reached up and caught her.
And drew her down to dwell among
The spirits Of the water,
They could not bear to part with her,
The keepers blue.eyed daughter!

had Just entered the train. and
we'll try to keep it undisturbed,
too,' she added, proceeding to de-
post their shawls, satchels, etc.,
upon the end Of each seat while
the ladies seated themselves fac
ing each other.
They were evidently mother
and daughter, the mother large,
portly and fine looking, the
daughter a slender, bright-faced
little thing, and just as evidently
people of 'position,' marked by all
the belongs Of wealthy travellers.
Elegantly braided linen ulsters,
over suits Of black silk, stylish
hats. aainty kid gauntlets, Russian
leather satcheIs and shawl-straps
were their distinguishing marks,
beside that indescribable air which
stamps its possessor as one used
to good society.

I'VE have terribly hot day for

But there is such a nice breeze,
I think it will bo lovely returned
tright-eyed Mabel.
oh, you're always contented
with everything. Dear me, [ hope
the carriages wont be crowded?
'They are almost that now, mann
ma. We have the only vacant
seats. l believe 'And | mean to
keep them, too,' announced Mrs.

At that moment spoke voice
at her elbow:
is that seat engaged, madam ?
Mrs. Glennor and Mabel both
looked up to see a young lady
dressed in plain, untrimmed lin
en- suit, with a brown veil cover
ing her hat entirely, and shading
a plain, homely face.
Her speech was that of a we'll
bred person, but her exceedingly
plain attire stamped her in Mrs.
Glennor's eyes as common folks,
not worth an effort to bo polite.
She turned to the window and
settled herself in her place with
out seeming to hear, but good
natured Mabel spoke at once:
Mine isn't. You are welcome
to share it,
And, Notwithstanding the de,
cided frown on her lady mother s
face, she tossed her traps over
on the pile already beside Mrs
Glennor, and smiled a reply to the
young strangers quiet 'Thank
you,' as she sat down, holding the
small satchel she carried in her
lap.
1T will tire you. There is plen,

toward the satchel.

the seat herself, saying:

Truth AND ERRoR.-There are
only two powerful Influences at
work in the world ; and these two
influences are Truth and Error.
They are essentially different, as
different as light and darkness,
and we cannot compound taem.
They are ever found in the dead
liest conflict. When one unfurls
it's banner, the other must fight
or leave the field. We find
these two powers always at war
in every true mans breast,
and they fight on until the last
fickering spark of life goes out,
when Truth puts it's enemy to
flight, and the spirit ofthe just
passes into the presence Of an
everlasting Truth.

brarv to Savannah: : "A young
gentleman who came out with me

catechises the lowest class, and
endeavors to fix something Of what

"This was certainly prototype
of a modern Sunday school. Thus
more than one hundred years ago
(now one hundred and thirty

Savannah, then hardly known to
the rest of the colonies or the
world, was blessed with a good
Sunday school, and faithful Sun
day school, teacher, the Rev.
John Wesley.
"The next instance which came

of Raikes is the Sabbath school
established about the year 1850,
in the little hamlet Of Walbach, in
the Boude la Roche, among the
mountains bordering on the Ger
man States, in the northeast part
of France. This Sunday school
originated in the benevolent labors
of the Rev. Mr.. Stouber, a Luther

these two foreign efforts there was
established even in England a
