The first Sunday school meeting of the
series, held at Furryville, by tho Carbon
County Sunday School Society, during the
week, was opened by W. W. Bowman, the
President of tho society, tho school earnestly

power of Jesus' name." Rev. Butz lead in
prayer, plead'ng in an evangelical manner
especially fortho conversion of children, and
God's blessing upon thoSunday school, Af
ter singing, Rev. Smoyer was introduced,
and spoke in German, using for his text a
piece of petrified wood, as an illustration of
a sinner's heart, who has been hardened in
sin. C. S ll'cisstlicn spoke on tho subject
"Jesus," the model teacher and the five char
acteristics: justice, earnestness, sincerity
usefulness and sympathy. Rev. Soy frit made
a German address, making use of an inter
esting nnd instructive story, toaehing tho
reword of being a christian. W C. Weiss
next spoke on the subject of "Tobacco," its
evil effects and its use by parents, teachers
and the ministry, who very often set tho ex
ample for the Sunday school scholars to use
it.
On Tuesday evening the meeting was
held at New Mahoning. Rev. Sinoyci
opened the meeting by reading a portion ol

first address, and spoko of the importance of
haying n Sunday school connected with the
church, and of zealously luboring for the
conversion of the children. After sinuintr,
W. B. Roniig was introduced, and spoke of
the advantages lo be gained by having n
Sunday school in which to labor for Christ.

a number of persons arose in response to
me question : "in you commence a Sun

for a Sunday School are very bright. Rev.

the dnxology the meeting was dismissed.

ture of a dressing-bureau, with the looking

flourishing condition, under the manage
