At no point oi our lnstorj' as a local mission agency have ye had more real help and sympathy in our v ork amongst tlie children ot the city than now It ha<3 greatly cheered the miss;onaiy'.s heart to have indisputable evidences of the fact th?t pal. -nts apjirecKitc i nr T>:1>!" rearlinc: classes m btato schools, and mcsti to cooperate m the work. In two consecutive weekr> the daily average was 160 boys and girl-, one week 171, a fourth wck 163. Intelligently the pupiU assist in the classes; the old Book is not effete, the Ten Commandments are in no way abrogated , the 23rd Psalm. is fresh and strong, the Scimun on the Mount is sweet sM.rl wholesome, and even the, yenngest child needs to bo lemmdcd of God and the great hereafter Without the help, directly and indirectly, of cheerful assistants, the missionary is conscious that these largoand growing clashes could not be sustained. The aggregate numbers are far in advance, of those of seven years ago, when this branch* 1 of service was undertaken with some fear ancl trembhng.
