This case involved the question

"Wr are Of the opinion that the isl

A Year Of Solid Advance.

The missionary work of the Ameri.
can Sunday School Union in the
year closing February %, 1901, exhib-
tied two most gratifying features.
While 1874 new Sunday-schools We're
organized in destitute places, only q
less than in the previous year, there
were 50i reorganiaed, against SIG in
in the yer before, and 3j:3 schools Wis
tied or otherwise aided, against 1857 Of
the previous year; and, better than all,
1923 cases of visit and aid to old schools
against 1855 in the year before. From
this it appears that while rs great an
advance Ms usual was made in the plant.
ing of new schools, there was IA very
great advance made in the important
work of rcviving and strengthening
and confirm ing schools already in eX
iStpncp.
