THIS school has been very prosperous during the term which closed Friday, December 20. Its present membership is one hundred and fifty. The pupils have made rapid progress during the term, and the school is giving general satisfaction. The teachers have been devoted and earnest, and the children have made progress not only in knowledge, as far as the arts and sciences are concerned, but also in spiritual growth, as shown in their daily conduct.

During the last few days of the term many of the students have been canvassing for the Missionary Magazine, and have secured eighty subscriptions for that journal.
The teachers, with one accord, have heartily seconded the plans of the superintendent, Miss Grace Amadon, and union and harmony have prevailed, so that each plan has been effectual. It is the design of the teachers to inculcate the missionary spirit in every heart, and next term the students and teachers will work to get our books and periodicals before the people.
As the last day of school was so near the Week of Prayer, the children desired, and the teachers thought it profitable for the students, to make their annual offering at the conclusion of the exercises at the close of the school. Elder Daniels made a few appropriate remarks, and the offering was taken, which amounted to fifty-nine dollars, coming from children from seven to sixteen years of age.
School closed with good cheer on the part of all, and this term has certainly marked an era of good in the Battle Creek church school. We trust that the children throughout our ranks will take as great an interest in the annual offering as the children of the Battle Creek church school have taken.
