THE EVAN. S. S. OF LEHIGHToN.
Last Sunday there was a quite chang
made in the Evangelical Sunday school {
Lehighton. The changes were all made i
the lower part of the school, and might b
called Sunday school earthquake, all bu
the confusion. The changes made were a
follows: Philip Miller, who taught tn
young mems Bible class was appointed teach
er of the German class composed Of age
women Mr.. Kuntz, who taught class {
young men, was appointed teacher of th
mems German class; c. S. Weiss, who wa
earnestly engaged in Sunday school wor
throughout the county for the last 81
months, by request, took the Bible class
Philip Miller; and Mrs. Zenia Bowman
was appointed teacher of the class taught b
Mr.. Kuntz. The school is not in as flourish
ing condition as it was some time age
but with these changes we hope to see thinl
r progress lively and rapidly in the school ii
! it outstrips its former self. The school
under the superintendency of W. w. Bow
r man. Amandus Kuntz, late Of Slatingtoi
! was appointed by the pastor, Assistant Supe
: intsndent. The Assistant Superintendel
is leader of singing in the school, and sin,
his appointment as leader of singing, Il
improvement in song in the school is real
remarkable, in fact, we doubt whether it
much better in any Sunday school in IL
county. The school is using the new SUI
! day school song book, entitled "Spiritn
: Songs" We hope before long to have blacl
board exercise in the school, thing whiC
has bean almost altogether omitted for son
: time. The Superintendent lately spoke
: collecting library by voluntary contrlb
= tions of good books for this purpose tn
E will be quite an attraction in the school. 1
a also thinks of introducing plan Of exam
> ination in certain prescribed lessons to

according to the different degrees of mer
By request, the pastor Rev. Smoyer, who
present in the school whenever he can l
