J had neverj seen such an .arrangement before, and ..wondered how many Sabbath Schools ia the State, had adopted t.They,,have . a' separate room in one corner of the. cbo rch by means of curtains. , These curtains are fastened to a hook "madetfast in the wall about eight feet' from the floor, then extending out as far as is necessary and -fastened to another hook on a -light piece Of scantling reaching from tbe floor to the ceiling, and then they extend to tbe wall again, so as to inclose a room. 0 The scantling which is used has- in the upper end of it a staple by which it is suspended to a hook in. the ceiling and can be taken down and the cur- tains easily removed. Now this. costs but very little, and: yet it seems to be a very valuable plan. ; We all know that tbe attention of children is easily drawn off by .surroundings, and for this reason tbey ought to be in a sep arate room , where thef can be in structed In their own department and their attention held more easily. It would be a good idea for all tbe Sunday Schools that are not able to build separate rooms about 1 the church for their infant classes, to Adopt the plan mentioned- aoove. Tbe fruits of Sunday Schools, car ried on with care, will be seen they can be seen at Mt, Moriah, where there has been a good Sabbath School for a number of years under the su perintendence - of Deacon : Calvin Poolj who is now getting old (God bless the old soldiers) and has given up. the guidance of tbe school to brotber Troy Tool who Is yery dil igent, and he now takes charge of a class and is still anxious to learn of Jesus! I was invited to sit In his clasp, where I fonnd a number of aged brethren, and oh; how. "my soul warmed as they talked about Jesus I Thank ' God for 'the 'bid standard bearer 8.

Duke insisted that . every member of the church thould take the Recorder Bro. Wester gave tbe history of the Recorder from its commence ment to tbe present day Said It is the presbytery; Meditate upon these things; give thyself wboly to them, that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heediiuto thyself and unto the doctrine, continue in them, for in do ing this thou ehalt both save thyself, and them. that, bear thee, v Study to show tbjself , approved unto God, a woramau tuat neeaetn riot to be ashamed, rightly ; dividing the word of truth. ' ; : -:.::B;f A man may deliver the finest specimen of a . sermon possible tor a man td preacbrand yet. to God's children it is nothing but sounding brass or a tinkling .symbol, because the sweet drawings pf Christ's spirit is not in it. : ; Then a' gospel sermou is composed of Scripture and grace. and GodV snim. actuates. ; enides and ditects the speaker through the sermon.- Thus Glad tidings of great joy is delivered to the hearers.

I. believe was detrimental to the success, of the School; but now we have School every Sunday.
