D. Barrows, D. D.:

Of Egypt, and allied to Pharoah's count, how
came he TO be a shepherd7
q What proof had he formerly given {
his sympathy with his oppressed brethern
3. In Gods special visitation to men, has
he usually honored the idle or industrious ?

ing bush, of the Israelites7 OF the Chris
tian church, OF God himself?
S. Does God reveal himself to those who
will not turn aside to see, or inquire

came for this deliverance in answer to
prayer7

The PRESBYTERIAN ANNIVERSARY.
The seventh anniversary of the Presby-
terrain Sunday School of Lehighton, held on
the 7th inst, was grand success. The sing
ing under the leadership of Mr.. Amandcs
KuntS was good. The speeches by the
children were short, spicy, interesting, in
structiye and entertaining; and although a
goodly number of boys and girls spoke,
they only spoke long enough to make you
wish for more. The exercises oe the even.
ing were conducted by Mr.. John Bohn, the
Superintendent of the school, and Mr.. Lee
Styles. There was only one adult person
on the programme for an address, and be
spoke so well that he was allowed to speak
second time, at the close of which he pre-
sented the Superintendent with very fine
set Of drawing instruments, purchased by
the teachers, offircrs and scholars of the
school, by special collection, to show their
appreciation of his labors.
Little Tllie Gould, of this place, spoke
her piece so well that she received loud and
enthusiastic applausej she was nfterward
called to repeat the speech, which she did
in very graceful and oratoricsl manner.
Before closing the exercises, Mr.. Candy-box
and Mrs. Beautiful Red. checked Orange
had their say, and by the unmi sta kable
signs of happiness on the faces of all, we
suppose the audience enjoyed this part of
the entertainment, better than any other.
After spending happy evening, the audi
ence was dismissed, and the children went
home at an early hour with happy hearts
On Sunday morning, on motion of Mr.
Styles, committee was appointed on reso-
lutions for sevices rendered at the anniyer-
sary, which committee return the following
