members to attend the Sunday

seperated. They should be as one.
The Sunday School should be the

church be able to say : "Ri hold I and

2nd Subject : What part should
the S. S. take in the tempelenee
ause ! This subject was opened by
rof. Gobble, followed by Prof.
Moyer, and Rev. S. Aurand. This is
an important subn et and was very
ably and thoroughly discussed.
Ihd Subject : How can you get chil-
li i n interested in singing was ably
handled and fully explained by Prof.
William Mover. Ry the time the
learned Professor had finished his
emarks the large audience were
ouvinced that it is an easy matter
to get (he little ones interested in
this most important work. The sub
ject was fm t her discussed bv Prof's.
Gobble and Wonder, Rev. Aurand
and Hev. Reaumont. When we have
pcrsuadi'd a child to learn and love
Sunday School hymns and Sntnhiv
School music, we feel as if we hail
taught him the use of a faculty, the
mploynient of which would bring
God into his thoughts ; solace his
sadness; and accustom hint to the
'ontempl.it ion of "joys unseen and
lopes unrealized." It is feared that
this important part of the exercises
of our Sunday Schools has been very
much Lcglectcd i nor i.i it u matter
of much surprise, when we consider
what place it really holds in the ser
vice of the sanctuary. When we go
into a Sunday School, a more grate
ful sound could not reach the ear
than a cheerful song of praise from
a company of tidy, orderly children.
We suppose it will be generally ad
mitted that children w ho sing or Invi
to hear singing retain for a long
time the impression which music
makes on the mind, and it is obvious
that the impression which words
make when associated with music
are proport lonall.v deep and perma
nent. Hence, it is, (hat we give
singing a high place in the exercis
es of a Sunday School as a means of
grace.
The success of this Sunday School
Convention was far above what had
been predicted. It was something
to be remembered, it being the1 first
ever held lu re. Rkcoiiteii.
A Little Love Ri.ossov.- Sunbnry
has been thrown into a fever of ex
citement bv a five weeks' old baby.
It appears Saturday morning when
W. S. Rlmad. w ho is John Haas'
chief clerk, was opening t lie shutters
of (he office ou Chestnut stri ct, he
was startled by a t-ort of crxiug
noise. Sure that there was some
thing wrong, he called to a douie.-t ic
in the employ of Dr. Maitin, who
was sweeping the pavement on the
opposite side of the street, and ask
ed if she had heard any noise ; she
said she had, and by that time
Rhoads had discovered a basket
standing on the door step of Haas
residence. The girl came oer and
together they comniei I unwrap
ping the bundle, an lo ! there was a
baby : a pretty little baby boy. willi
lark hair, blue eyes, and oh ! so
hungry. Rhoads did not wish to
arouse Haas, so the little one was
taken tothe residence of .Mrs. ( ieorge
Weir and tenderly cared for.
The clothes that surrounded the
infant bore no mark whatever. Re
sides the underclothing there were
two little white muslin slips neatly
made and a heavy black and gray
shawl. In the basket, however, wa
found the follow ing note w ritten on
a half sheet of note paper: "Morn
August l.", ls.sN. Take good care of
me, I shall repav von. My name i
Carry."
Miss Milh r, w ho is a ii'c:,,lT of
Mr. Haas' familv, -aw two tall ineii
ll'essed in black iitid cal T ile; a ha1-
et approaching the house near mid
night, liny saw tier and let raced
theirsteps.
The affair created an unusual stir
around town and the gossips were
busy finding the owner of the baby.
Reporters follow "d clues only to be
disappointed. At last the truth came
out. Annie Alexander, w ho has been
employed as a domestic in the family
of a Mr. Malick, w idow er, in 1'urdy-
town, went before 'Squire Weaver
and acknowledged that thechild was
hers and t hat it s fat In r is (ieorge
Jett, a married man living on North
Second street. Previous to going to
live in Malick's family t he girl was
employed in Jell's family. She says
Jett told her he had seciin d a home
for the child and w hen he took it
away she thought it was going to a
good home. A wiirant was issued
for the arrest of Jett and the pros
pects are that "the punishment will
lit the crime." . I (( "
