DURING the year closing March 1, the missionaries of the American Sunday-school Union in the northwest district established 471 new Sunday-schools, and brought 1,796 teachers and 15,466 scholars into them. They also aided old schools in 1,378 cases, where there were 7,411 teachers and 68,447 scholars. They distributed 4,950 Bibles and Testaments, held 2,492 meetings, labored 8,121 days, traveled 143,259 miles, and visited 10,970 families. Four years ago there were sixteen mountain counties of Kentucky that contained but a single school; now there are in those sixteen counties 323 Sunday-schools, with several resultant churches, very largely due to the Union's work. The grand total of the American Sunday-school Union's work for the three-score years of its activity, represents over seventy-six thousand Sunday-schools founded, into which 3,192,179 scholars have been gathered.—Sel.
