OF the Sunday School much can be said
During the part five years it mas steadily
increased in influence and membership
until to-day more than ATS scholars will re-
cite their catechism or read their bible
lesson. For a number of years, up
to three weeks ago, the Sunday School was
superintendent by Mr.. Horatio N. Eye, one
of the most active and strongest pecuniary
pillars of the church. Mr.. Eyes health
has been so poor, however, that he was
compelled to surrender to another, and
his successor is Mr.. James V. Foster. Mr..
Foster is assisted by Mr.. Harry Couse,
young and earnest worker in both the
church and Sunday School. The teachers
of the Sunday School are: Mr.. J. Winant,
Mrs. j. ID. Fry, Mrs. M. Hall, Miss L. Eek
Ter, Mr.. w. E. Drake, Miss L. @. Richard
son, Miss Bessie Ransom, Miss Jennie
Worth, Mrs. H. N. Eye, Mrs. ". E. Drake,
Miss A. Mitchell, Mrs. E. Westervelt, Miss
Emma Flagg, Miss George Welsh. Miss
Amy Bennett, Miss Lizzie Griswold, Mr.. E.

brook, Mr.. NJ. Hall, Mr.. Paul Gray. Mr..

Lillian Eye, Miss Sadie Griswold. The
banner classes of the school are the bible
class of 40 young men presided over by
Mr.. E. L. Bradley, and the bible class of
young ladies, taught by Mr.. E. W. Drake.
If the TATTLER were to stop here re-
counting the many things for which He'd
ding church is proud of her position as
church body, it would be doing gross in
justice to other noble works of the church
The Juvenile Missionary Society, for in
stance, of which Mr. W. E. Drake is Presl-
dent, and Miss Lizzie Richardson is
Secretary, is one of the noblest at
tributes of the church. Every year
this Society provides 5000 for the
support of foreign missions. This Society
meets on the second Sunday of each month.
Then the Hedding Young Mems Christian
Association is accomplishing much good,
with its debating societies. lectures, etc. !;
and by and by the Association proposes
to distribute tracts on the canal-boats and
visit the sick and poor There are about
eighty members to the Association. The
Women's Christian Union assists the needy,
supplies them with food and clothing in
the cold Winter months
The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific
Circle includes within its grasp ancient and
| modern history, philosophy and science.
Its President is William e. Drake, who, it
will probably be observed, is one of the
most active workers in the Church. He'd
dings membership does not fall far short
of 500, among whom are many of the
wealthiest and best known people of Jersey
City.

with 100 regular communicates Under
the direction of this popular pastor the
