PRAYER FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The second Lords Day in Sep
next Sunday, the 9th, has been
suggested by the National Reform
Association as a day for general
and united prayer for our public
schools, and, if the pastors choose,
for sermons on education This
suggestion has been endorsed by
several soolessiastical bodies, and
many leaders in the educational
and religious world.
The suitRbleness of the day &c.
looted, at the time when the schools
are Te-asssmbling for the coming
year; the vastness of the interests
involved, since nearly twenty mil
lions of pupils and almost half a
million teachers will be gathered
in the schools; and the extent to
which the schools must affect the
moral welfare of the republic, are
urged as reasons for the observance
of suOh day.
II is hoped that this special re.

school teachers and Superintend.
ents are requested to remember
their public schools in the dsYo-

This day will be observed in this
city by special service in the in.

in Trinity NJ. E. Church, next
Sunday evening, by the pastor
beginning at 7:45. The sermon

the pastor who himself has been
a public school teacher; and
special music will be rendered by
the choir. The members of the
board of education and of the
faculty of our oity school will be
invited guests, and it is earnestly
hoped that SO far as possible every
patron of the school may be pres
