This Sunday School was divided into three grades. First cam the Infants. They were placed in a large room behind the west end gallery, & over the Perch?. 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.
