HAWERA SUNDAY-SCHOOL. .. . [communicated.] The necessity at' regularly and permanently established Sabbath-schools, is obvious If advantages accrue to special organizations in church business, there is as great necessity for them in the junior branch—the school. Under a permanent system, a library can be started, besides other adjuncts so essential for the permanent prosperity of the school. The Ministers, feeling that their frequent presence in a general school might not be welcome, no longer .have excuse for remaining passive supporters of the cause. A general school is like nobody’s child tOo often left to chance for its, regular supervision. But, a school under control of a religious body, has the Minister for its hqad, with the members-of the Church as workers. Fortunately, hitherto, the leaders of the school in Hawera, were zealous, good and true, but since the Blockhouse has been removed, the necessity for distinct and regular management lia.s been apparent. As also, the paramount importance of allowing nothing to intervene which would prevent its being conducted regularly, without hindrance. With these ideas in view,.a school has been started in Hawera, openly and avowedly in connection With the Wesleyan Church, where tho cordial sympathy and asyistauce of those interested in the Sabbat b-scltool work is solicited. Judging . from the encouraging- start made last Sunday, no doubt the movement will meet with the success it deserves, and that each Sabbath wiil record an increase in attendance. * “ -
