sUNDAY.scnooL MEETING. 3,s.
On Sunday afternoon the Sunday school
OF the First Baptist church metto elect Off
GERS for the ensuing year-Dr. Curry pre-
siding. After the usual preliminary exer-
cises the committee appointed last Sunday
offered the following, which was adopted !:
The committee appointed to nominate Off
GERS for the Sunday school respectfully SUBJ
NIT, In the inverse order in which they
| should appear on the records OF The church
and Sunday school. the names Of the fol-
lowing gentlemen. to whom the committee
hope that it will be the pleasure OF this body
to give their unanimous vote: Jacob Rein
hardt for organist; G. a. Minor, leader OF
music; A. L. Haynes, registrar; G. A.
l,Hundley, collector; Josiah Ryland, trea-
surer; A. L. Haynes, assistant librarian; !;
". B. Pleasants. second assistant librarian; ;
c. Mccarthy, librarian; q. A. Haynes, as-
sistant secretary; r. s. Bosher, secretary.
With regard to the superintendency Of
the school, the committee said: -b3aI Z.
/. That while they did not feel at liberty
to disregard the wish OF the present super
intendent,} Mr.. Robert II. Bosher, which
has been expressed in public and reiterated
In prlyate-viz, !, that he should be allowed
to retire from the Office, which he has held
for some twenty years-the committee cam
not nominate another for the position With
out expressing the, sentiment that, should
the Sunday school approve the nomination.
Of the committee, twill be only justice to
itself to make some emphatic record Of its
appreciation OF his invaluable services, as
we'll as those OF the beloved assistant SUI.
perintendent, a. p. Fox, than whom the
committee do not expect that the school
will ever have as chief officers men more
truly devoted to its interests. :,
2. Again, the committee having decided,
or rather having bad decided for them, the
point of change IN the superintendcncy
of the schools, Mr.. Fox being equally de-
sirous with Mr.. Bosher to be relieved OF
his position, deemed it wise that the change
should be such, il possible, that there might
be need OF no further change for another
score OF years. Young men, the committee
knew, could not be found equal at once to
their predecessors but, il the proper ones
should be selected, they hoped that they
might develop into equal usefulness and ef-
tcency, and perchance in t5e course OF
time they might go beyond those who have
gone before, as if were. The work of the
children must in this progressive age super
abound the work Of their fathers.
8. In studying carefully the qualifications
and promise of the young men OF the
church, the committee. after much delibe-
ration, resolved unanimously to nominate
for superintendent and assistant superin-
tendent Mr. W. III. Turpin and Mr. D. j.
Mccarthy. 81. A. TUPPER,

| by rising vote.
RemsrkS were made by number OF per-
sons, assuring the newly-elected officers OF
their warm and cordial support, and the
| outgoing ones of their deep love and esteem.
| On the closing Sunday OF '78 Mr.. Jacob
Relnhardt, the accomplished orsanist Of the
school and church, was presented with a
beautiful testimonial OF the high apprecia-
| tion of his services. J.
On the opening Sunday Of '79 the pastor,
Rev. E. W. Warren, D. D., received hand
