ton OF this character.
Mr. Pyle then withdrew his motion
aud Nj. Morris moved that II be the
sense OF the meeting that city Sunday
school association should be organized.

ing the proposition, but some doubling
whether 1t could be carried on with the
Vlgor aud sucoess that Its merits de-
served In the face Of 10 many other
church organizations having partially
the same object In view.
Many OF those uTon whom the bur
tLen Of The work Would fall were busi-
ness men, who could scarcely afford the
time 10 spare from their business TO en-
gsRe In additional Sunday sohool
lRbors.

need not devolve upon the elder busi.
ress meR OF the oity, bat that there
we're quite enough OF the younger ele-
mont VINO we're nob no much immersed
In business that they could afford more
time for the work. Such an OrgAniza.
