K. j Church held at Valdosta on the 11th inst., . and which we publish hy request.—Ki>. j Ban.vkr.] j Sunday schools, over since their ostab lishment, have been considered by the | ;.ood and wise as important auxiliaries to the Church of God. llenc e strenuous i efforts have been made by them fur their ! prosperity, advancement and increased usefulness. A groat responsibility rests on ns as a church and wo should not re lax our efforts until every child which Providence has committed to our care, is gathered in our Sunday schools. fairly in tlm history of Methodism, Mr. Wesley having heard of the experiment of Mr. Raikos to gather poor neglected and ignorant children,in schools on Sun days for the purpose of instruction pub lislied an account of it in the American ; Magazine recommending his societies to ] imitate the laudable example, they took I his advice and in the year ISIS, laboring | hard working men and women began to instruct their neighbors children and go wiili them to the house of God on our Sundays without lining hired for that purpose. Speedily these schools multi plied among his people In every instance the teachers engaging in this work (or conscience sake and not for pecuniary fee or reward as was the case in Mr. Raikes School. To Wesley therefore is due the merit open ing lirst introduced gatuitmis instruction in them. Shortly after, in 1786, the first Sunday school in America was established in the house of Thomas Cunshaw, a member of the Methodist Church in Hanover Coun ty Virginia ; about the same time many others in different sections of the Coun try were put into successful operation among the Methodists. From these facts, it is therefore apparent that oui Church was the first to engage in this highly inipoi tunt and mcritorous work in this country. Their benefits also were extended to the African race in the West Indies hy Ihe Weslyan Ministers ] and in the Southern Slut s by the Mctli j odists. In Charleston S. C., they were I bitterly opposed and subjected the ! preacher who instituted them there to great persecution and personal violence; that day has however hug since passed away, and.no portion of the country has been more zealous in prosecuting Sunday schools both for whites and colored than the City of Charleston and the Slate of South Carolina—and per haps few or none have met with more signal and gratifying success. From these small beginnings which appear al this distance of time as a cloud no lar ger Ilian a man's hand what great and important roaults have accrued therefrom to the Church and world, eternity above can reveal 1 How signally has God blessed Sunday schools and used them as instruments in his hands in the salva tion of thousands of tho human family, many of whom we doubt not are to day in t/ie Kingdom of his glory, where .Sab baths never end and many more aro on their way (o the same blessed and joy ous ho r.e thus clearly stamping tho Di vine approbation upon them. The Sun t. . -hiio! thus open : a wide and exteu j sive field for usefulness both to the j preacher and layman in promoting right i eoiisness among the children of men anil j advancing the kingdom of Heaven. Sure ly therefore as Christians wo have every ! reason for encouragement in tho dis charge of our duty in this very important field of operation. We regret that so much apathy exists among us as Christians in this important enterprise doubtless intended by God, as one of the means to he used for the evan gelization of the world, arid we would be more than gratified could wc excite our people in this district to activity and a holy zeal in a cause wo consider so im portant and vital. Wo behave the Church and world are dependent upon the rising generation for their future welfare and prosperity—it then becomes a matter of the utmost importance that it shall he brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord that it in ay he a blessing and not a withering curse to them. We regret that (here aro so few 3un day schools reported to be in existence in this district and the reports given arc so meager we rejoice however that ten schools are reported to be in successful operation most of which are represented to be in a prosperous and liealty condi. lion. Others dovbtlcss would have been reported had the circuits where they are j situated been represented. We would therefore respectfully r,commend to the ; preachers in this district to make every possible effort tocstablish a’Sunday school at each appointment without delay in their respective circuits, and to this end that they bring the subject thereof promptly and promcncnlly before thcii respective congregations and urge their , establishment. It is a subject of regret and sorrow that there should be such a deficiency awl want 'A Sunday School j books as is complained by the preachers from tlied.ff.Tcnt circuits. We tliink|l ow ever that a Well directed effort may reme dy Ibis evil-ami the small sum of ton dol tars might ho raised in each congrega tion for this purpose which judiciously expended would purchase a small library and a sufficient number of books of in struction for each school. There is an evil which wc cannot t»o strongly condemn which exists among us to some extent in that some of the members ut 'our church where wc have Sunday schools whw send their children to those under the control of other de nominatous of Christians whose doc trines, modes of worship and usages arc different from ours, Wc believe it to bo the imperative duty of every member of our C'hhrcli to send his or her children to our Sunday .Schools, We make the following further recom mendations to our people in this district in reference to tho subject under consid eration ill (bis report to wit : Ist. If practicable that a convention of the superintendents and teachers of our Sunday schools within this district be hold at some central point once a year for consultation and adiiistment upon all subjects connected with t o manage ment course of n (melon t' e uocf and.a gencrai interchange ol their views. 2nd. That singing onr beautiful mi l spiritual hymns under proper instruc tion if to ho had, ho cultivated and con stitute one of the exorcises of all Sunday schools. fid. That the Sunday school hooks, of our publishing house at Nashville, he used in all of our Sunday schools, as well as the Sunday school paper published there. 4 tli. That as far as practicable, only members of tho Church ho employed in our Sunday schools as superintendents and tochers—and the doctrines and usages of Methodism he made a distin guished course of instructions. We arc inclined to think that hooks ol instruction to he used in our Sunday Schools,as well the course of si udy ex cept as above recommended must, in a great measure rest with Iho superinten dent and teachers in Iho exercise of a sound discretion and judgment.

The most useful and reliable f.-iend that a man can have ii ajgood Irale.This remark i« applicable to not only those who aie habitually employed in manual labor, hut also to those who have reach ed more enviably positions in buisincss life. Kvery day there are instances ol men slipping from high rounds the ladder of wealth Iliiisiucss men find themselves engniphed in tho sea of finan cial embarrassment from which they emerge with nothing but them- personal resources to depend upon lbr a living. Clerks, salesmen and others find them selves thrown out of employment, with no prospects of speedily obtaining pla ces which they are com pc ten t to fill mid with no other means of gaining a liveli hood. llow many men there aro to-day some ol whom have families dependent on them for support, who bewail the mis take they made in not learning useful trades in their younger days. 'There are hundreds of them. There are men here wlm have seen hotter days, men ofedn o.Tt'eni M.d business ability, who envy tin- mechanic who has sure support fin himself and family in his handicraft. Barents make a great mistake when they impose upon the brain of their boy the tank of supporting him, without pie paring his hand for emergencies No mat ter how favorable a lmy’s cirenmstHiices mr.y be ho should enter the battle of life as every prudent general enters the bat tle of armies—with a reliable reserve to fall hack upon in case of disaster. Kvery man is liable to be reduced to the lowest pecuniary point, at some stage of his life, and it is-hardly necessary to refer to the large proportions of men who reach that point. No man is poor who is the master of a trade. It is a kind of capital that defies the storm of financial reverse, and that clings to a man when all else lias been swept away. It consoles him in the hour of adversity with the assurance that let whatever may befall him, he need have mi fear for the support of nimself and aud his family. Unfortunately a silly notion, the offspring «t a sham aristo cracy, has of late years led many parents to regard a trade as something disrep utable, with which their children should not be tainted. Labor disreputable ! It is the very power that moves tlio world. A power higher than the throne of ar istocracy has ennobled labor-, and lie who would disparage it must set him self above tho Divine Principle, "In the sweat ol thy face shall thou eat bread.” A trade is a "fliend in need;” it is inde |icnd.nice and wealth-—a rich legacy which the poorest father may give his son, and which the r c cst may regard as more valuable tins gold.- -Kn:h. llow iif.
