by departments as follows: Primary
Superintendent Miss Christine Curtis
gave an interesting account of the chill
dren's various gifts to the building
fund, the India famine sufferers, be-
sides their regular offerings-also their
instruction from Sunday to Sunday,
and the increased attendance and at
| tention. Mrs Emmerich, superintend-

Thus every incentive is given to both
children and parents to be liberal in

faithfully presided over the organ, and
leads the school in its service of song,
and the secretary and those associated
with him in the enrolment and statis-

teaching, have given testimony to the
quality of the schools work along its
particular line.
