We have much pleasure in informing our readers that our Sunday Schools have not been in such a flourishing state for many years. On Sunday, July 1st, the quarterly report was read by Mr. Chambers, the Superintendent of the Welsh School. The report dealt with both the juvenile and adult branches. Both branches showed a marked improvement on the preceding quarter, but of the two, the progress was, perhaps, more marked in the juvenile department, where the number of scholars had almost doubled. This department is in charge of Mrs. Reeves, Brick Street, and too much credit cannot be given her for the unflagging and unostentatious manner in which she has worked this department. The crying need of the juvenile school now as always is more suitable teachers. It demands some self-sacrifice for persons to devote their Sunday afternoons teaching infants. The work has not much glamour about it and is not, humanly speaking, nearly so interesting as that which is
