I . to care for the religious gi Its obi trainitt: young, this " one thing " bas b „k I.t steadily in view from 1824, to t h e pre.eut , time. T h ere are millions of youth in our country who are without the privileges of the Sunday-school. We want to reach them. We have now missionaries labor i n g in twenty two States, but where we bare one we ought to have five. We have the machinery necessary to do the work. What we need to set it in motion to its fullest capacity is MONEY. Sunday schools need libraries, and these cost money, and we must give them where the people are too poor to pur chase. The call for the Sunday.school mis sionary comes from the South, from the line of the Pacific railroad, nay from every quarter, and we are unable to send him forth. Good men stand ready to enter in and labor, but the money neces sary for their support is wanting. We appeal to the Christian men and women of Philadelphia for help. Send us the means, and with the help of God we will go out and " gather the children in." Contributions may be sent to L. Knowles, Treasurer, No. 1122 Chesnut Street, Philadelphia. ALEX.
