We think there has never been such an
interest taken in our Sunday school work
as there is at present The building of the

help thus far. Rev. j. H. Porch who has
charge of UiIu primary department., JaKes
his classes in there, and all the noise the
| little ones make is away from the mair
| school. While it gives the teacher better
opportunity of making the lesson interest

hope such may be the case throughout the
