The report of the committee on sun
day school work in the Presbytery If
Lackawanna for the year ending
April /, 1899, is as follows:
At the spring meeting of Lackawanna
Presbytery, the Sunday school committee
was instructed to prepare Its report and
tables and have them printed and dis
tributed among the schools. There is al
ways much delay in preparing this report
as some schools are careless about re-
turning their filled blanks. This delay
made it impossible for the committee to
prepare full tables before the meeting of
the general assembly. of which body two
of the committee went as commissioners.
Thirty-one schools report gain of 423,
ffty-nine report "a loss of LOS, while
seven report the same number as last
year, thus making the net loss 1,l05 The
greatest losses were 2S7 and 109. one
thousand one hundred and twenty new
scholars are reported as added during the
year. This number would be much larger
if all schools would report this item.
Some of the largest omit it,
The gain and loss columns speak plain
ly but not very cheerngly as the losses
arc much more marked than the gains.
The principal gain has been in the Home
department and in the contributions TO
the boards of tho church other than the
board for Sunday school work. The num-
Der of Home departments has been
doubled, and the membership has increas-
ed from l91 to 7oS or $40 per cent. The
offering gain of s79j to all but one of our
church boards is most gratifying. The
total gain in bencvolcnce was 5000 while
the falling off in contributions toward the
school support was sl,233. The loss in
membership in the regular schools has
been so large that the gain in the Home
department of 517 could not make up.
The banner schools for the year are the
following:

Pc-ru-na is a specific for hay fever,
and should be taken during the whole
season of the exposure to the cause;
for as long as the exciting cause re-
mains, no cure can be permanent
People who are unable to change their
location during the season of hay fever
will find in Pe-ru-na a priceless bene-
fit to them, as 1t meets every disagree
able symptom exactly. 1t is always ad-
visable to begin the use of Pe-ru-na a
week or two before the expected attack
of hay fever in old cases, where the
attack can be foretold, as this will
often prevent entirely the return of the
disease. Address DR.. Hartman, Col
umbus, Ohio, for a free book.

The resignation of Miss Elizabeth Do

18th of last month, thus seVCrinS her
connection with the work of the Young

source of genuine regret TO all who
knew her and had the pleasure and
benefit of her helpful companionship. 1t
seemed that the voice of her heart to

Four Of the schools reporting have fe-
male superintcndents. There are two Sa-
Vonic schools, one in PeCkVilC and one in
Providence. and Scranton has a Chinese
school and CarhOndale an Italian. The
largest school in the Prcsbytery is the
Wilkos-Barre Memorial with a member
ship of 900. Next in order is CaTbondale,
Scranton, Wilkes Barre, First, and Ash
ley. Taking into consideration the popu-
lation to draw from, probably the Ashley
Sunday school is entitled to first place,
as the membership there is $50 with a
population of only about 1000.
The annual convention of the Sabbath
schools connected with the Abingdon
