L\ olii. - claim .. our atteitisi. .xpediencyiay be regnrIl in two lights; 1st. Fitness under the particular cirtumstances. 2nd. Fit ness to accomplish a good e.d. I shall notice both these points. 1. The expediency of Sabobath Schools in the country. Sonie will s:ay-" Were we in a village or town. where tenchers and pupils could be brought together at a certain hour by the ring ing of a bell. it wo.uld be expedient; but in our country churches, the children are so uidelv scattered over the neighbourhoood. that we c.ould se r ely get them there at the right time. Be. sides it mnight interfere with our preaehiig hour on our meeting days; and as to other days, we wish to go to other churches, and theii it would be inconveiient for the parent to go to one place and the children to anlther." These ehjec. tions are not based upon refl--ciion. It i nt uncommon in these days for men to object to an enterprise, and attempt to frown it dawn. noi .. because they lave looked into it, baut simiply be-. cause they do not wi-ah to have any thing to do with it;: and because they do not, thoy ihiink oth ers should not. In noticing these islhjection-,~ I thinak 1 shall establish the expedieuncy of Sab bath Schools. In our country churches the u-nnd hour for preaching on the Sabbath is 11 o'cloek. One hour is ample time ror th,- devotional exer cises and the recitations of a Sailbbath School, if it be properly orgaiied (i. e. eatch chaos havitng its own teacher, so that all may recite at the snme time). The Sabbath School, then would, meet at, 10 o'clock. Now thecre would be very rew scholars, even in the country. who would have, to come a greater distance than four miles, (the' greater number a less distantce). We could ride this distance in an hour, or walk it in sit hour and a half. Tiaey leave home thetn att half past eight. This would give them, even in April, two and a half hoursto get ready : and in July tbree and a half hours. Now children are g.-ner..lly in weekly Schoolu by seven o'clock in the sum uter, always before eight. Anid if they meet in school by seven,ecould they not meet in Church by ten I ltf we can netid them to weekly schools fo~r the sake of knowledge by eigtnt, could we not send them to church for that "wisdom which is from above" by 10 o'clock? I f we catn, in the week, be in our farms about the ri.'ing of the sun, and have our childrent and our servants with us there, could we nut by 8 o'clock begin to at. . end to the Lord's businssi, (and ours too) on the Lords day ? Was there ever a greater i'con .sistency thana for a christian parent to frame ex .euses against taking his own: chiildrent to his own *church, on the very day God has gi.en for spiritta. improvemenit, in order that these children uay be prepared for usefulness in life anid happiness in :eternity I Shall a man who can breakfast before day-light, in the week, for the purpose of going to'th~e pourl Hiouse, or to market, say that hie has not time on Sabbath muorninig to take his chil dren to churchi Would not such a decluration be equivalent to saying that be did nOt desire thu spiritual interest of his phildryni suffituienatly to ,trouble himself in any wise abuat, it ? Is it ps sible that the Sabbath affords tiene for iisiting, and t~he transaction of wordly business, but no time fur religious instruction I As to S,abbath Behools interfering with the preaching hour, it is p oliyecion unworthy of notice ; for if it did so, it 0o5j4 ks on aecount of wilful negleart, on the prt of tamphers and ptupiliu, and we have no fight e attributa .,beir errors to the Sabbath School. tat suppose it did infringe upon the htour for peohing.

But our minis. a! ters, with acarcely an exco ption. are evangelists, it and Good has never made the prospority of a V church to depend upon the labor of an evan. a gelist. Our preachers preach one sermOn it every 1 30 days' tit their coingreg ations, (for onrchttrches Ir ats churches do not meet on Saturday. beine too h buy it htome) and will any (tne say that an hour's n: prenching, once in the month. will secure to the c church that mensure or pro-perity, wl.ich Christ designed in her organization ? And what does e it avail to the cau-e of Chri.'t for mo-inhers to f hear preaching one hour in the month, if they do w nothing inore? t The propenAity for attending other churches than our own. I .ar, does not secure to us spir. i itual advancaement. It often has its fioun dation r in a love of noavely. Our town church is nearest g to us. It is, then. not only most convenient, but li most profitable f or ut to attend it. There our cl gifts should be exercised-there our benevolence should be bestowed. and als we ari at home there, we cnn more cheerfully and cordially co-operate - with her members in every giod word and work. 0 than willh aulother body. If there is nit meeting at cur own church, we had better attend another thani pass the Sabbath tat home. if then the Sabhaih Schooibl draaxe us to oaur own church, it draws us to our duty. nod is an advantage. 2. is the Sabbath School cose adapted to the A aecoempl'shmaent ofgooid eend. ? Sabbath Schoools, in held each Sabbatl, in our churches, would ur. .t nish us wiit favorable opportuaities for carrying t ont those principles', whi,-h Christ in the organ. thl izat ion of churches lesigna'd leir their properity. tit These are diversities of gifis in our churches. hi There gifts are to be developed in their exercise. t' What a delighotful oeasiotn would'the Sabbath a Schooil furni.h faor the exercise of these gifio! e Praver, singing, exhortatioin. advice, counsel and ol ins'rncioen are all called for.
