The Sunday School.
Visited While in Session
by a Representative
of the NEWS.

The Sunday School movement
established in l780, unlike many
others may safely lay claim to be
an American institution, when
we fnd from statistics, that of
the ten millions of children cOn>
nectcd with Sunday Schools IN
the whole world, oven six million
or more than half are IN the u
nited States. In the rural dis
tricts Of the Southern states as
religious services are very intre-
quent, the Sunday School is
really the only public observance
of Sunday, and consequently los
es its denOminational exclusive
ness compared with its functions
in cities and large towns

and congratulated the school up
on its appearance and the marks

fail to notice He thought the
improvement in singing most
commendable feature and urged
continued effort in that direction
and briefly explained to the chill
dren his idea of the aim and OBJ
ject of Sunday Schools. at the
close, Mr.. Owen called attention
to the fact that this Sunday was
devoted TO Temperance instruct
ion and read a poem, of which
the following is part.

From the path of life was early won
And madly quaffed the flowing bowl,
Then ruined body and a ship

made to make the Sunday School
interesting and attractive. Ev>
