A SUNDAY-SCHOOL.

By Editor

BELOW we give the report of the "Golden Rule Sunday-school" for the quarter just ended. Unfortunately the report came in too late to insert in the general report for the past quarter. A Sunday-school is a novelty to Seventh-day Adventists. But we see no impropriety in holding such schools for the presentation of present truth, as it is a well-known fact that there are many people who are favorably inclined toward our faith, and are anxious to know more about us, but who are either unable or unwilling to lay aside their labors upon the seventh day to attend our Sabbath-schools, but who are ready and willing to assemble upon the first day for such purpose. We have always been decidedly in favor of holding Sunday-schools, believing that we should take advantage of every opportunity to hasten on the third angel's message.

Bro. Frank Lamb is the superintendent of the "Golden Rule Sunday school," and we wish him success in his undertaking, and our prayer is that the Lord may bless him and his school, and impress upon the hearts of all the importance of preparing for the coming of the Lord. The report is as follows: Total membership, 33, average attendance, 28; per cent. of attendance 87. This school is in possession of all the fixtures which are to be found in a well-conducted Sabbath-school, viz., maps, record books, Song Anchors, contribution boxes, cards, lesson-books, etc.
