This Sunday School was divided into three grades. First came the Infants. They were placed in a large room behind the west end gallery, & over the Porch?. None of these cd read. Nothing was attempted in this department except awakening the moral sentiments, & teaching a few facts of Christian History, & if possible a little Christian doctrine. This was done by telling the children little stories. Three of these I heard. My friend, who was the chief doer of all that was done & taught on the occasion of my visit, told these infants, in a very effective manner, well adapted to their little understandings, how he had spent on himself, after a long & uncertain struggle, which he minutely described to them, the first ten cents he had ever unclear; & how ashamed he afterwards felt of himself.

As soon as they can read they are promoted into the second grade which has its place in the gallery. After a time they are passed to the third or highest grade, which has it's place in the body of the Church.

It is believed that this Sunday school organization has already effected a great deal of good by bringing all classes together, & by unclear in a way nothing else cd the destitute, the ignorant, & the reckless. And still more abundant fruit is expected from it in the future.

Who is there but will entertain bright hopes for America, when among the rural population the moral tone is sound & healthy, & in the cities there is so much zeal for doing good.
