A Demand for Reform ms to the Books
That They Contain.


My little girl attends the Sunday-school
Of one Of the big aristooratic churches on
Delaware avenue. She likes the people
and the lessons, and evidently enjoys
going there. But the library of that Sun
day-school, judged by the specimens she
brings home, is a disgrace to the intelli-
gence and the liberality of the church
people. Some of the books are unfit to
be read by children of her age-of any
age, / might say. And such dilapidAted,
antiquated worn-out collection Ac-
cording to report they did get some new
volumes while ago, but my little one
seems to have no luck in getting hold of
them.
tell her not to care, for she has many
books of her own and the means of get
ting more, but the young ones seem to
feel it sort Of duty to patronize the Sun
day-sohool library. To-day she came
home with book, which, in its best days,
must have been stupid enough. Its
covers were loose, the beginning and the
end of the narrative vore gone, and the
pages were black with glime and grease.
AS Pm living sinner, that book actually
smelled bad. Her grandmother had one
long look at it, then, without saying a
word, took IL with the tongs to the sum
mer kitchen where il might have plenty
of fresh air until returned to the library
on Sunday next.--fBuflalo Courier.
