SABBATH SCHOOL INSTITUTE
Of the Teachers of the Reformed and
United Presbyterian Sabbath Schools
of Allegheny County. '
indium nky--itomfrso stnaroic.
The Institute re-assembled -yesterday
morning at half-past nineo'clocie. Half an
hour was spent in deiotional exercises,
with peculiar reference to "Children in
MisSion Sabbath Schools who are with.
one Christian Influence at Home." Rev.
A. G. Wallace presided. Minutes read
and approved.
Rev. J. W. Witherspoon delivered an
address on "the best method of organ
izing and conducting a Mission Sabbath
School." If the Sabbath School is the child
of the Church, as stated Tuesday even-
log, the Mission Sabbath School id the
adopted child. In organizing a Mission
Sabbath School there must first be mate-
Some one must 'understand _tho
work: Men willing to do this are few.
,Few men have the meads. Then the
'congregation should become the agent
in this important work. Oartain dis
tricts should be laid. off upon which
the special energies of the individual
or_ the congregation,- as _ the case
tnay be, may be brought to bear. Gen
eral efforts may fall of success. The
district should be carefully canvassed.
No house should be passed, no matter
what the circumstance of thd family may
be. Let the person previously . •chosen
bikpresent at the time appointed to wel
come every scholar—present with- a
prayer in his heart and - on his lips for
the blessing of God on 'the little ones.
These must be qualified teachers, who
have been taught to endure hardness.
It is to be conducted just in the same
way that other schools are conducted.
There are no children but can be tamed,
taught and subdued. There must •be
great kindness and much firmness. Not
more than four or five children should
be in each class. Thus conducted, the
Mission School will soon become the real
and • legitimate child of the church.
Every congregation should have a Mis
sion Sabbath School under its nurture
and control. z
• The matter of MissiodilSabbath Schools
was then thrown open for voluntarydis
cussion. Mr. Rabe believed that' the
Mission Sabbath School was one of the
means appointed by God to bring in the
- outcast. But they must be visited at
their homes. The hearts of the little
ones must be stolen at their own fire
sides. The work, if done, may
be the means of changing the character
.of the people of the land and the world,.
Unconverted parents may be brought to
the church through the children.
Rev. T. 13. Bracken said, that when-he
- was engaged in the mission work he went
from alley - to alley and street to street,
and noted on a slip of paper the charac
ter of the inmates of each house—whether
professors or non•professoni—so that he
knew where to re-vislt.
The Institute then engaged fora short
time in devotional exercises.
The Rev. S. B. Reed was annonnced
on the programme to deliver an address
on "The best way of retaining youth in
the Sabbath School, and of bringing
them into the Church." • As Mr. Reed
was not present, Rev. C. A. Dickey open
ed the discussion of this topic. There
must be faith on thetpart of the Sabbath
School teacher. If he rely upon his ef
forts, he will fail to :'.bring children into
the Sabbath School and the Church. H:
must • make the child feel thatit' ha•
come to a "good place." There Must be
attention paid to the`music. LA claserful
influence must be. thrown around the
Sabbath School room. Every instru
ment should be used that will carry.
God's truth to the hearts of the children.
Dr. Gracey said God's promise is infal
lible. • The command is, "T' In up a
child in the way he should gcc'end when
he is old he will not depart from it."
Thls training has never been known to
fail. The Bible was the moist suitable
book. Many books in Sabbath School
libraries had done much harm. ' When a
child reads a Sabbath School book, -it
dorm not desire to read it again. Four
fifths of'the Sabbath School booker now
on th'e'`shelves= of their libraries might
bekcommitted to the flames with great
benefit.
Rey. W. J. Reid said the great object
of some teachers seemed to be to bring
in large numbers into the Sabbath School
and the church, Without having any re
gard to the manner in which they are
educated. '‘
Rev. J. H. Hanna believed they would
learn bow to retain scholars in theschool
when they ~learned hew to retain the
teachers. Scholars , Crurnot be ,retained
when teachers show weariness in the
work. If the teacher is changed every
year or so it will exert a bad• influence
on the children. When elders and pa
rents feel it to he their duty and privilege
to teach in the Sabbath. School, the child
ren will be mere easily retained. • --
Rev. J. S. Hawk thought in order to
remedy the - matter the pastor should
take charge;of the instruction of adults.
Aged persons stay away sometimes be
cause they feel there it:nothing for them
to do; nothing to interest them.
;Mr. John Mtintgomery thought that
bothyoung and old should be induced to
attend the 'Sabbath School. The 'great
work of - the Sabbath School is to train
the young. But there should be provi
sions made for all classes in the Sabbath
School.
Rev. J. R. Kerr suggested the - import
ance of establishing an adult Bible class.
It had'worked well In his congregation.
The question draWer was then opened
"Would you dispense with the use of
the Sabbath School Library ?!'
11r. Dicke ,who was ' requested to re
spond, said he did not know why any
one Invented the library'as a means ..of
_earning on; the .Sabbath Salami *ork.
The library was filled with novels, pot
half as good as Dickens', for they were
without point.- Libretto:: vested too
lunch 'time. They wasted the time of
the librarian and the children. Then
they are too, expensive. If half, the
money was expended in buying; Bibles
that is spent in purchasing libraries,:
more good-would be Accomplished. He
did notterhive in ministers who preached
sensation sermons on the trees of the, Bi
ble, the wheels of the Bible and the wo-
Men of the 'Bible. 'He did not think
ministers „ should preach on the • 44 1'11-
grlin's Progress." Tney should preach
on God's word, and Sabbath School chil
dren would reedit.
Mr. Reid said children wilt read. They
cannot be prevented from reading. Then
they should haver something good 'to
read. ,
• Mr. Reed, of Harmaremille, thought it
would be imporsdble to carry on Sabbath
School work without s library.
'Mr. John Dean -had one of the largest
miskicai setehOls in These cities, and they
had not had a librarylor ibur years, and
it was his experience that a Mission Sab
bath ,School can' be carried on better
without It. It wasted too much time and
money. He believed they should give
good books as rewards of merit. Then
the child showed it all around, and
w oth
ers ere induced to attend to obtain a
book as a premium which theycould call
their,own. Dispensing with the' library
prevents coninsion. •
Closed with singing the benediction..

some Specified portion or Seriptitre. Its
advantages are that the teacher prose
cutes his work with greater confidence.
The same ma*:tieFsaid ° of the 'solders:
They do not come to school listless and
languid, because they have some specific
object in view. The uniform system con
templotes a review by the Superinten
dent, which is another advantage.,
Rev. Mr. Wallace thought that all
the scholars in the same room abould
have the same lesson. But there ' was a
difficulty here, as some schools have
only one room to meet in and cannot
have any gradation.
"The Opening and Closing • Exercises
in the Sabbath School" was" the next
_ - -
topic. Dr. Clark thought they should be
brief and appropriate. Sometimes pray
ers at the opening of the Sabbath Schoal
were as appropriate for any other occa
sion.
Dr. Clark preferred to refer back to the
subject discussed by Mr. Wakeham, the
uniform lesson system. It had been
adopted, unanimously, some weeks since
in his school, and worked well.
Remarks on the opening and closing
exercises of the Sabbath School were
made, by Mr. Reed, Major Frew, Mr. R.
J. Campbell and Dr. J. T. Pressly.,
' • These gentlemen differed somewhat in
their ildnions. Some thought. "lively'?
music was better others contended that
that there should ' be "grave sweet melo
dy" In the music. Some, contended for
great brevity in Others thought
the devotional feelings could not be thor
oughly engaged in three minutes. There
are some, it was said. in this dyspeptic
age who cannot digest anything. They
could not digest a prayer either of three
or tifteen minutes' length. '
Rev. T. S. Bracken delivered a short
lecture on the “Blackboard," with an
illustrative or model lesson.
Desultory remarks on the different
topics before the Institute during the
afternoon were made by Mr. John Mont
gomery, Rev. C. A. Dickey, Charles Ar.
buthnot, Esq., and Mr. Hugh McMaster.
The question drawer was then opened,
and much interesting discussion was had
on the questions propounded.
The Institute then adjourned, after th e
observance of the'usual religions exer
cises.
EVENING SESSION.
The Institute met at half-past seven.
Rev. John B. Clark, D. D., presided.
Fifteen minutes were spent in devo
tional exercises.
Rev. A. M. Milligan then delivered an
address on "The Qualifications of the
Sabbath School Teacher." The qualifi
cations necessary are intelligence, piety
and gentleness. Ladies are best quali
fied to take charge of infant classes,
There is a greater affinity between child
hood and womanhood than between
childhood and mau. The teacher should
also be an enthusiast in the work.
Rev. John Douglas, D, then deliv- 1
ered an address on ."The Teacher's
Aim.", - An aimless work is generally a
fruitless work. There must be a definite
aim to secure sticcess.• The aims of the
teacher should be, first, to make good
christianp, 'and, second, good citizens.
The fabric it3f society can only be ens
tained by the Bible and the religion it

A daring robbery wperpetrated last

night` hiffit twelve•V lock, - .Tohn ' Scott,.
of New Albany, Ind., ing the victim.
Mr. Scott arrived in the city yesterday
morning and,'lt apps s, not being accus
tomed to drinking Pittsburgh whisky,
became intoxicated, and while in this
condition fell into the hands of some of
the many sharks, cut4hroatii and thieves
- .
infesting the city.
About twelve o'clok one of the police
men residing on Si xth street, having
just gone oft' duty, had returned to his
home and was about . retiring, when he
heard a cry of murder proceeding from
the direction of Virgin alley, in the rear
of his dwelling. lie proceeded immedi
ately to the place (rpm hence the cry
came to ascertain ti e c use, and there
found Mr. Scott less bootless and
li
moneyless. He ug t him to the
141
watch-house, when the v etlin made the
following statement: lie Idl he had been
drinking during the d ay nd in the even
ing found himselfn a s loon on Smith
field street; he remained there some time
and left the place in a carriage with a
man, , frho proposed to take him to rr hotel.
The carriage was dr ven to some dark
place, where he was taken out, and as
soon as he get out the car riage drove oft'
itz
and his companion, svh remained with
him, knocked him do n and when he
recovered was pulling his boots off. He
then cried for help pd the fellow ran
away, taking with hi his victim's boots.
hat and pocketbook containing about
eighteen dollars. % 1 •
In confirmation of this statement, one
of the policemen on uty on Smithfield
street, who was in t e office when Scott
was brought in, stet d that he spoke to
t
a
him in front of the saloon referred to,
and saw him get in a carriage in com
pany with another n, not more than
ten or fifteen minnt s before Scott was
brought to the watt house,i
This is one of the oat impudent rob
beries that has bee perpetrated in this
city for some time p st, and if the per
petrator is not car. red, with the facts
now in pot3session o the r•ublic, it will
be for want of a prdper effort to do so.
It is very naturalo presnme that the
man who accompa n ied Scott from the
i i
saloon in the carria g e is the ifillian who
perpetrated the out age, and, if so, it is
also reasonable to suppose that the saloon
keeper knows whd that individual is,
and if he should refuse to; give the re
quired information the law might pre
sume him accessory before the fact.
Scott says that he can identify the man
who knocked him down„ and his des
cription of him agrees with that given
by the officer of the man' who entered
',he carriage with him.
Bold Burglary--Safe Bmken Open
' Great Palus—LlttleGalns,
The commission house of Messrs. Van
gorder lilhepbard, No.I 360 Liberty
street, was entered Tuesday night be
tween nine and ten o'clock by a party of
thieves, who are evidently' adepts in the
business.
Before commencing operations on the
establishment, the fellows broke open
the back window of P. 'C. Reiner's mar
ble works in the vicinity, and abstracted
from the Interior of the building a
couple of crowbars, a number of chis
ebt'and several mallets, with which
'they` - proceeded to the rear of the com
mission house on Spring l alley. They
seem to have made an attempt on _the
back door ` ; as the marks are visible on
the outside. Finding this immovable, •
howeVbr, the back window next attracted
their attention, and by the aid of the
stolen tools the shutters of the windows
were broken open, the sash raised and
an entrance ' effected. Proceeding to
the safe in the counting room - they
seem to have gone to work with a
will and earnestness - worthy of a
ai
better -cause. " The outer door. 'w
!breed open, and a hole large enough t
admit a man's hand made through,th .
„inner one. This hole WBl3 near the "Burp !
'ler-proof" box inside, containing the
money drawer. Thia &ix was also breed
open, and the drawer robbed of some
papers and cash to the amount of twen
ty-six dollars and thirty-soven 'cents.
Some of thenapera were carried off,' and
the rest scattered over the de* and
around the door. This was all the
thieves secured of. value. A.pparently
chagrined at their ill luck they mani
fested their proclivities for breaking into
'things by forcing open a box of choice
oranges and ttelpingfthemselves to the
luscious fruit, after which they depar
ted, leaving behind-the tools eftolen from
the marble works, together with a blank
smith's sledge, which looked as if it had
seen considerable service.
It ia said that several persons , passing
by at the time heard the, noise made by
the robbers, , but supposing it to have
been - made by . .the employes of the
store, passed on without stopping to take
notice of the circumstance. The early
hour at which the robbery was perform
ed, and the neighborhood in which the
store Is located, entitles the operation to
rank among the boldest and moat dar
ing ofthe kind ever perpetrated in the
clty. ' • '
Hat store Robbed-I.Arreist of the SUS
peetea Thief.
Mr. Jas. A. McCune, caisliter of Fiera
ing's hat and fur store, Wcod . street,
made information before Alderman
Strain yesterday against Wm. Davis, for
larceny. On Tuesday night or early
yesterday-morning, Mr. Fleming's store
was entered by some , thief ~ who gained
admittance through a (*lief window and
from thence into thestore-room.
Once inside the fellow' made a •!ther
ortgb nverhanling of the premises' and
departed with a considerable quantity of
goods, consisting of furs; caps,. gloves,
Om., together with a small quantity of
change from the money drawer, amount-,
ing to something over five, dollars.
Officers Herron and Irwin, independent
police, took the case in hand., and in "a
few hours arrested Davis on suspicion of
being the guilty party. When gazed,
he had in his possession a quantity of
postal currency and a cap, which was
identified as part of the stolen property,
hence the information. He was .com
mitted for a further hearing to-morrow.
Subsequently a search of his trunk was
made and nearly all the etolen property
recovered: •

customers constantly thronging the great
double store rooms of• Mr. Wm. Semple,
No. 180 and 1.82 Federal street, Alle
gheny.
Any one curious on such subjects
can see in the immense daily sales going
on in this establishment, an excellent il
lustration of the benefits sure to follow
the wise policy pursued by Mr. Semple
of always keeping and continually .re.
plenishing a large and varied supply,of
goods, always contenting himself with
small profits, strictly adhering to one
price, never deceiving a customer, exact
ing from every salesman employed a
courteous and obliging demeaLor toward
the patrons of the house and conformity
to pre.established rules of business, and
last, but not least, a liberal, persistent
system of advertising, letting the entire
community know of the many attrao-
tions always to be found at his store.
Scores of the complaining storekeepers
would, by adopting the course of Mr.
Semple, find less time and less reason for
complaining of hard times In a revived
and sustained activity in their business.
We are not wholly disinterested, but we
are quite sincere in Suggesting to all
these complainers that a free use of the
columns of the GAZETTE having been
found a great help to others, might prove
equally beneficial to them. Their signs
over the doors may be read by,those who
pass them; if printed in the GAZETTE
they will be read by many thousands In
all the streets and through all the su
burbs and in the country round about the
city.

There is no mistake about it, PLANTA
TION MlTBits will ward off Fever and
Ague and all kindied diseases, if used in
time. No family need suffer from this
distressing complaint if they will keep
PLANTATION BITTERS 111 the house, and
use it accordmg to directions. The most
important ingredient of this medicine Is
Calisaya or Peruvian Bark, which is
known to be the finest and purest tonic
in the vegetable kingdom. The extract
of this Bark is the active principle of all
the good Fever and Ague Medicines pre
scribed by intelligent doctors. Callsaya
,Bark is used extensivel,yin the manufac
ture of PLANTATION BITTERS, as well as
quinine, and we dare Bay they owe their
popularity mostly to that fact. We can
recommend them.
