manner in which tle vsSious commit

Christian education was read which
proved highly interesting. According
to the report, the church has 1850
children under instruction in Sunday
schools, with 60. teachers; there are
1876 in the night schools and 525 in
the day schools. AS most of the orr

in some way been connected with the
schools. it is plain to B@seen that the
work that is being done in the terri.

report. The business of the convoca-
ton this afternoon will include largely
the reading of committee reports.
