St. George's Sunday School.

Yesterday was the long looked for day on which was held the annual feast for the children attending the Church school. The rain in the early morning kept away a large number of the children—29o only having assembled by nine o'clock, instead of 400, tue number on the roll. It wag at first thought that the holiday would have to be kept within the school-room but a slight improvement in the weather, and the prognostications of one or two friends that the dry would be five after 12 o'clock, induced the Superintendent to start for Tararu. When in Mary street, opposite St. Georgc'B Church, the procession halted, aud forming four deep the children sang in good time and with much spirit the hymn, " Brightly gleams our banner, pointing to the sky," &c. Then they marched as happily as though they were walking in sunshine, instead of in a Scotch mist, to Grahamstown, and along the Tararu road till they met the train, which took them on to the Gardens. After leaving Grahamstown they had no rain to speak of the rest of the day, and when at six o'clock they left the Gardent to return home all agreed that they had seldom had a happier festival.
