Sabbath-Schools.

By John Norton Loughborough

IN Signs, No. 22, we promised to say more relative to our State Sabbath-school organization. Our preparations for the visit to Oregon, with other duties has so fully occupied the time of the committee, we have only time to state now, that when our State Sabbath-school organization was formed, we did what we thought would best promote the interests of the schools here, designing to adapt our organization to that which might be recommended by the General Conference.

We shall take time before the next session of our State quarterly meeting to compare these two constitutions, and probably at the time of the quarterly meeting, so arrange matters as to be in harmony with our brethren elsewhere. In the mean time, we hope our brethren and sisters will do all in their power to promote interest in the Sabbath-school and Bible-class in their respective churches. We want to be missionaries, to do good, to lead souls to the Lord and his truth, what an opening is Sabbath-school work.

Take hold of it every one. Parents and guardians, learn the lessons yourselves; aid the youth and children to learn the lessons; encourage the school by your presence, and by your example of promptness in the lessons. Hold up the Sabbath-school by your prayers. May the Lord bless the Sabbath-school army. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.
