Sunday School Officers.
Some interesting facts about the Sunday
school work of the First Congregational
Church were brought to the attention OF
meeting held last evening for the cleo
ton of officers of the school. These were
contained in the report of the secretary,
who stated that there are 54 scholars in
active attendance on the rolls and pa in
the home department. This latter branch
of church work is somewhat of a novelty
in this city, its members being made up
reasons, usually detained at home.
They are divided up into fifteen or twenty
different circles, each with it's visitor,
who pays visit every week or so TO the
members and distributes Sunday school
leaflets, the members piedging themselves to
give certain time to the studying of the
lesson for each Sunday. This feature of
religious activity has proven so beneficial
that other congregations in this city are
contemplating similar departure.
