In Behalf of sabbath Schools.

In Behalf of Sabbath Schools. Editor DEMOCRAT
 Whereas, we, tue clergy and Sab bath School workers, pledged our selves to work for the Interest Of Sabbath Schools, can think of no better way of placing before the pub lie what l think essential to success than in the county paper.
 will start by asking: What IS q Sabbath School? It is an assem blaze of persons on the Sabbath day for the purpose of giving and receiv- ing instruction according to the Bi- ble, and of engaging in the worship of tho true God.
 I want to say that while the hon or of founding and popularizing Sabbath Schools in modern form be- longs to Robert Raikcs, that long be- fore he ever entered the work for which he has achieved such honor, that Gods people had taught Gin some way His word to their chil. dren. For evidence of this fact you will see Gen. xyiii:19, Deut. vi:7, Neh. viii:7S, Luke xl:46, John xxi:l5, Matt. xxviii;I9, Acts xvii:l1 etc. I would further say that the church in all ages has recognized the spiritual claims of the young, and we find that the early christians sustained catschetical schools for this express purpose. For proof see the work of John Knox in Scotland, Luther at Whitenbury, Borroma (Catholic) in Lombardy, the early history of Massachusetts, and q great many others too tedious te mention
 I will close by saying that the old est organization now in existence is the $. s. Society in Philadelphia established in 179l; others were or ganized as follows: I797, 1903, 1904 1909, 1916, 1SI7, 1924, which are still in existence.
 In my next letter I will endeavol to describe the kind of superintend ents and teachers necessary for sue cess. J. F. CoNLEY. !.
