SABBATH-SCHOOLS IN OHIO.
By D. W. Reavis
Newark and Waterford.—We had a pleasant time with the Sabbath-school at Newark. They enlarged their Instructor club list with the intention of using the papers in inducing children to attend the school. This is what all our schools should do. Do not say that it is of no use before you try. We offered the Instructor to some of the children in Newark, if they would come to our Sabbath-school; and all said they would come. Do not pick for the rich, but for the poor, to attend,—those who are not able to dress fine enough to attend Sunday school. Their souls are of no less value than the rich. The superintendent of this school lives nine miles from the church; but he never fails to be there on time for Sabbath-school. The superintendent is a thermometer for the school. We can sound him, and tell what his school is before we see it. The school at Waterford is in a flourishing condition. We conversed with the members, and their talk about the Sabbath-school work has the right ring to it. They are taking hold of the work in earnest. They have raised $25.00 to supply their school with maps, Instructors, etc. They are aiming to secure thoroughness in their recitations, and will, in the future, make it their business to attend Sabbath-school every Sabbath. Bro. Kaufman’s family live thirteen miles from the church, and they attend Sabbath-school regularly. Brethren, write this in your diaries; read it every Sabbath morning, and three or four miles will not seem so far. “Where there’s a will there’s a way.”
