REMARKS.
Another year has passed in the Sunday
chool work with its success and failures.
We can now look back and see where we
ave made mistakes, either by negligence or
imidity. The reports in the main are en-
ouraging. The Riverside school showed
be most activity and interest on this annual
occasion being represented as school, and,
Aer travelling six miles TO reach the place
{ convention, found the house closed and
70 one to let them in. They felt it was .
old reception. Il Is 10 be hoped the con- q
ention will result in deeper interest in the r
undsy school work, and the next annual
eport will show great gains in Ill the depart
nents of the work n
