lines of Sunday school work, but this
year a more vigorous prosecution of tie
organized work is being made, and, with
the Sunday school in a high state OF
efficiency. the workers are expecting a
rich blessing to crown their labors.
The grading of the schools is one of the
most important features of the work.
The start has been made, and admirable
results are already being obtained. The
standards of grades includes primary.
Junior senior and adult, and three addi-
fional grades, infant, intermediate and
young peoples.
The three lines of effort to which the
leaders are devoting much time and work
are home department work, township
organization and house-to-house vista
ton. 1t is proposed to plant a home de-
partment in every Sunday school, and en-
roll every family in the township or dis
trict.

NEWARK, May 6, 1SS9.-The New Jer-
sey State Board of Children's Guardians,
recently appointed by Governor VOORHEES,,
has already received so many applications
from families desiring to take into their
homes small children, who may come into
the care of the board, that it is thought
homes may be found for all children under
six and over ten years of age without the
of board. Mrs. e. E. Williams
son. chairman Of the Executive Commit
tee, told a reporter yesterday that she
felt sure of obtaining desirable homes for
such children, but for those between the
ages of six and ten years, Mrs. William
son said, it was probable board would
have to be paid.
The headquarters of the board have
been established at No. S28 Broad street,
this city, and the office will be formally
opened there next Monday. Application
blanks will be obtainable there, and clerks
will attend to the business of the board.
The City Almshouse will be visited by
members of the committee some time
within a week or two, and any children
there will be promptly taken charge of.
Superintendent Olvaney, of the Aims
house., said yesterday that there are
thirteen children in the institution. Some
of these are with their mothers, and
some are orphans. One mother h is
very fonds of her six months old baby,
declares she will not give up the child.
Mother and baby have been in the insti-
tuition for about four months and the
woman says she will brave the outside
world with her infant rather than let
it go in other hands.
There are others in the Almshouse who
appear to have no wish to keep their
babies, but the Superintendent said he
was very sure some of the mothers would
go away with their little ones rather
than give them up to the committee.

"The new choir is calculated to please
the congregation" said asmember of the
Bergen Reformed Church a few days
ago. During the past year the music
has been very poor. This was probably
due to the small amount of money appro-
priated. $500 is only a trifle to furnish
good music. The amount has been RAISED
