ooD officers and teachers His work con
sjots in awakening laymen to the impOr
trncc Of the Sunday school work. The
ministers had enough to attend to besides
this 1t is the duty of the cities to spread
IN the country; the country has made the
cities. All denominations are working
for the same cause, and should work to-
gcther as brothers. Let US preserve a
broad christian spirit; it does not max e
Us love our own denominations less by
helping other denominations.
