The most important of the resolutions adopted,

The subject of Sunday school instruction was
presented by Mr.. w. N. Hartshorn, of Boston, the
well-known chairman of the Executive Committee
of the international Sunday School Association
He announced that result of the action of the
international Convention of last year steps were
being taken to provide carefully graded course
covering the entire period of Sunday school in
structlon. The Importance of qualified and we'll
trained teachers was brought out. The Rev. w. @.
Boocock, Of Bayonne, N. j., proposed that young
peoples societies should be correlated with the
Sunday school and graded; the former to be a
school of instruction and the latter school of SER
vice, both to form training school of Christian
service TO be made effective IN adult life. Mr..
Boocock also suggested that the federated
churches of town city should be responsible
for the religious instruction of the whole city, with
a sort of university extension department of
Church history, Christian ethics and related
branches. These suggestions were not acted upon
by the body, but they will doubtless be worked out
by more than our local federation.
The subject of "Reigious Instruction. was

to the character of recent immigration. These
people from Southern and Eastern Europe are
not abnormally diseased, weak or criminal nor

Stelzle said that there are actually fewer litter

forty-four per cent. of the members of Protestant
Churches in New York are of foreign birth Sew
