tfethodist Sondav School Convention for Carlisle District. The 3d Annual Session of the S. S Convention for Carlisle District was held at Petersburg, Perry county, on Tuesday ml Wednesday, Jane 7th and Sth. Ilev. J. S. McMurray, Presiding Elder of the District, occupied the chair. About foity preachers and delegates were prcsent The Annual Sermon was preached on Tuesday evening. hy Rev. J. [l. (J. Dosh, of York. Ho announced Joel 2: IS: "Gather the children, 'as his text. The objects ot tile Sunday School, he said, were to pluck the children from evil asso ciations; to afford them religious instruc tions; to secure them the blessings of reli srion, and to train thorn in Christianity He showed the possibility o*' bringing children at an early age to a saving knowl edge of Christ, adducing many proofs from the inspired and uniusp red records of the church. He strongly urged the duty of the church, in the accomplishment of this desirable object, to furnish good apartments, competent officers and teachers,and whole some literature; to labor faithfully and pray fervently. The discourse was neat, forcible and practical The following questions were discussed during the session:—l. What is the best method of conducting Sunday Schools? 2. What is successful teach-ng, and what is the secret of success? 3. Ilow can we best secure funds for Sun day School purposes? 4. Have any ini provements been made in our lespective schools since our last Convention? The : most interesting feature of the Convention ! was the Children's Meeting, held at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The ex crcises consisted of several addresses, interpersed with singing by the children Rev. 8 H. CVSmith, Prof. S D Hiilman. Rev. W. M Frysinger, and J. W. Duck ingham were the speakers. The first speaker proposed to tell t e children's for tunes lie shoved them how their fortunes i would be gnod if th> t/ were good, and bad if they were bad. He dwelt particularly upon obedience to parents, illustrating the j subject by a good -story of a boy who was i so good to his mother that in speaking of him she was accustomed to saying. "My 1 J' hn is the best John in all the wotld " The second speaker said he would preach the boys arid girls a short sermon. "Be busy; love the Lord, and always do right," was his text. The third speaker said he once read of an urchin who wanted to fire off an old gun that he came across while visiting his grandmother. He put in a heavy charge of powder, bracing himself against the wall, and shut his eves, hut was afraid to pull the trigger. He then put in another load, thinking that in the meantime he might screw his courage to the sticking point. But being still afraid, he put in a third load. While hesitating about trying it again, his grandmother said. "Here, let me show you how to fire off that gun," and suiting the action to the word, she pointed it at the chimney corner and tdazed away. Ihe old piece went off with a report like thunder and a recoil that prostrated the old lady on her back on the fi >or. While struggling to get upon her feet, the youngster shouted out, "Lay spll, grandmararay; lay still: there are 'wo more loads to go off yet!" The speaker wanted the children to hold still a little while lon ger, as there were "two more loafs to go off ytt." He sai l the thought he wished to illustrate was that children are capable of being (Jhrstiais. Repentance, faith, and good works make a Christian. That children are capable of these he proved from instances in which thev had been per formed by children. The last speaker made some very interesting remarks of a miscellaneous character, among ether things relating a case that had come under bis own observation, of a little boy who came to the altar as a penitent, and. after a hard struggle, sprang to his feet, and bringing his hands together, shouted. "Now I've got it, I'll bet!" And so he bad. for he afterwards lived a consistent Christian, and died triumphantly. The meeting was a decided success. On Wednesday even ing a Sunday School experience meeting was held, at which an opportunity was giv en to ail present to relate their experience as scholars, teachers, or officers of the Sunday Seliocl. Ihe exercises were inter esting and profitable. Ihe members of the Convention were most hospitably en tertained by the kind people of Petersburg, and will not soon forget the pleasant hours they spent and the agreeable a-soeiations they formed among tbent.

V., held in the Rifle Pit near Cold Harbor. A a., the following Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously adopt I ed: WHEREAS, By the fortunes of wa- ! i and the dispo-ing hand of Divine Provi j I dunce it has happened that our comrades, the above named officers of this regiment have been eal.ed away fr on the scenes ant tri;.ls of this present life: Therefore, we the surviving officers and men of the regi merit, unite in the following tribute to then memory : First. In this dispensation wereeognizt the hand of that Providence in whose care and disposal all tiling earthly are in Peace or War—who doeth all things well I —calling to Himself His servants whosi ] mission here has been accomplished accord ing to 11 is will—bowing in submission to His dispensations, dark though they seem to our human conceptions. S'comf. In Colonel Thomas M Hulings our late Commander, we always recognise*! the perfect gentleman, genial companion able commander, and gallant soldier, whom wr shall never cease to miss and niouri ; and we respectfully tender our profouno sympathies to his bereaved relatives in thi their irreparable 10-s, promising not to for ' get his example or the cause in whose de fence he fell. Thin/. In Lieut Colonel John B. Mil* s we had a comrade never absent from hi> post of duty, who meant no ill toanv, who knew no fear when his country's enenn would strike down his Country's Flag. r J o his bereaved widow and stricken parents all our sympathies are due. fur they hav* lost one who was not only endeared to them by every tie of family and affection, bur one who had vindicated his courage and his 1 manhood on mure than one battle field, and demonstr*te 1 his patriotism, ability an ! devotion to the just cause of his countrv through almost three years of trial, danger, and privation. He fell with his hand on the enemy's cannon, silent in the presence i of so gallant a soldier of the Union. fourth In Captain William P. Kep j hart we have lost a companion distinguish ed for his moral and gentlemanly conduct in the camp, his temperate habits, hi strict attention to duty, and his energy and courage, by which he gained the respons : b!e position which he held, and fur the gallantry he displayed when he fell at the head of nis command beyond the enemy's batteries on the biuo* stained fields of Spott sylvania. May the Providence who ha taken him from us comfort the afflicted ones to whom he was near and dear, and by whom he will be missed and mourned long after this struggle lor uur Nation is . ended. / f'h. And we tender our respectful sympathy to the friends and relative ot Lieut. Decatur H. Lvtle, whom none ot us knew but to respect ami honor for his brilliant talent, honorable ambition, energy and activity as an officer and sol dier; for his gentlemanly deportment and dignified character, as well as for that courage and conduct in presence of the enemy which has done so much to cover with fame the name and Banner ot the49:h M iy many l.ke him appear in his room in the ranks of our loyal army, j Sixth. In the death of Lieut Josiah L. Barton we have lost a most valuable officer, a man whose memory will be held in honor by every soldier in this regiment, because ot his unas.-uming and gentlemanly deport ment, his quiet but real courage, his con sistent and f hristian character, illustrated by the purity of his life and the refin*- tuent ot his conversation. To those at home to whom his loss is that of a brotl - er and son, we offer our sincere sympathy, together with the assurance that their loved one left no stain on his name as a sobiier, a christian or a man. Lost, lo ail the bereaved friends of our fallen comrades of the 49th our profound sympathies are due, and with them we ten der the assurance that we shall not forget their example or the cause for which they fell, but shall take care of the glorious name they have given to our loved regi ment at the cost of their hearts' blood for ; our Countrys sake. \\ e respectfully request the publication : of this Memorial in the local papers of Central Pennsylvania.
