Sabbath-School Business Meeting.

By Executive Committee Gen. S. S. A.

WE recommend that each Sabbath-school hold a business meeting in connection with the church business meeting of Jan. 5, for the consideration of the following and other important matters upon which the success of the school for 1879 will largely depend:—

First, Each school should decide what lesson books and sheets it will use during the year, and authorize some one to procure them.

Secondly, A song book should be adopted, and the T. and M. librarian requested to procure the number wanted, and also to keep a supply on hand, so that new scholars can procure them at any time.

Thirdly, If not previously ordered, a set of Record Books for the secretary and the teachers should be adopted, and the secretary or the T. and M. librarian instructed to procure them.

Fourthly, Decide whether the school will subscribe for a club of the weekly INSTRUCTOR. If so, how many?

Fifthly, Devise a way of paying for these, and adopt a plan for raising means for future wants.

Sixthly, Schools that are able should consider the procuring of maps of Bible lands and books of reference for teachers, such as a Bible Dictionary, Concordance, Geography of Bible Lands, etc. These books should be kept as a circulating library, and will do more for the school than that amount spent for story books.

That no time may be wasted at the Sabbath-school business session, and that all important points may receive attention, let each school at its next session appoint one or two committees to take the above-mentioned matters into consideration, and be prepared to report at the business meeting.
