CiioncH. -Thia sooiety, whOBe object, ie the prosecution of the interest of thd Bunday School con noe ted with, the Washington Street Ohnroh, held its first quarterly meeting Bundey afternoon. The meeting was an ?oca BIOD of much interest to those who par? ticipated. At 3)t? P. M., the chu roi) was filled by that congregation ? who worship there, the children of tho Sunday School and representatives from all the otber chumben of the city. The efficient oboir of the obnrob led tbs Sunday School obildren in singing Beveral cf t'jeir beautiful hymus; then followed the reading of Scripture, and prayer by the panter, Rev. Manuing Brown; after which the several reports of the officers of Ibo Sooiety were read-showing a gratifying improvement in the condition of the school. The President, R. D. Senn, Eetj.-, briefly stated the general purpose of the organisation, and intro? duced Colonel J.. P. Thomas, who bad promptly'responded to the cull made upon bim by tho society, and who bas been always found "ready for every good wo jd and work:" Oo??ne?

Prtnaa'or (P?s'oe, bo appreciated, on that- accoutit,' the more bigbly the summons"to address tho Sunday School Organization of tiie Washington Streut Methodist Episcopal Church. The Apostle h?d'aaked that uttorauce might be given th 'him froui on high to speak boldly .Qt tho iaytitory of the Cos? pel, for which h? was an ambassador in bonds," 'Tho speaker mid that it waa not rothlr^'tolVi.; that great gift. It was noi:f?>btni"to touoh apon the office ol Gau'?'ministers. His unworthiness foi badit this, and the occasion did not de? mand it. He proposed not to rush in where angels fear to tread. It was bin part to be-far less ambitions. Hi? duty was to give the spirit and purposes ol the Sunday School enterprise; to in? terpret its philosophy truthfully, evan? gelically, intelligently, and to draw thence some deductions os to our duties in that behalf. Yet standing in thal presenoe, and feeling that his feet rested upon holy ground, be felt tho responsi? bility of the office be was discharging under the auspices of the Church of the Living Cod. The speaker then alluded to the cir cuuistunces attending the establishment of God's visible abnrob on earth, and alladed to the necessity, the power, the dignity und the efficiency of pure and undefiled religion. The history of ancien i nations, tho individual history of man, showed the necessity of the correcting, tho vitalizing, the preserving, the cou serving principio of divine religion Look at Greece. There was a highly cultivated and gifted people-than whit! uono more cultivated and gifted bus eve; existed. Yet her Plato, her Socrates nut her Aristotle utterly failed to solve tin preblom of life. So, too, with the peo plo of imperial Romo. So, too, with tin great philosophers of ull heathendom lu their loftiest flights they failed t< catch the idea of u SAVIOUU, a KICDEI?M EU or MEDIATOR, aud they bud to return bullied, to earth, with a glauco only o Tim Tltura. The speaker said that i seemed that God, iu His providence, be fore tho Christian revelation, hud de sigued to show clearly to humanity thc it could not, unaided, solve tho pro hi cn of tts existence, and that thus it was in tended strongly to impress upon IUHU th souse of bis dopondenco upon thu Coi in whom bo lived and moved mid had bi being. Tho spcuker next referring to Hi establishmout of the church, of th Christian church-whiuh event, bo said was consummated in God's appointe time-went on to remark that it was ne his point to enlarge upon the office un work of thu church. Sufficient to sa thut all reflecting minds must rccogniz ?ts powerful iullucuoo upon tho condtic of mun und upon tho destiny of coaimn uilies. lie was a poor philanthropy who did not recognize its beau ti ft ethic", und ho was a poor statesman wh did not see in it tho golden keys of Stat? The relationship between tho Cnuiic and tbo ?SUNDAY SCHOOL was the pom which the speaker said he was to est?t lieh, und uext to suggest tbo origin, th spirit and the influence of the Suudu Sobool, and, lastly, to suggest the dutic that devolved upon Superintended tench ora nnd UH all in the Sunday School behalf. Thu speaker remarked that th great object was the PREACHING and tli TEACHING of Holy Scripture. Th preaching was the duty of the ministry and tbe ohurob was of divine origil Tho teaching was more especially tl work of the Sunday School, which was merely human organisation, and yet tit two formed a harmonious system, sor ing grandly enob other's purposes, nu acting and re-acting the one upon tl other. If tho obnrob dealt with mc and women of discreet age, and songl to impress upon them tbe Divine p'nu < salvation, the mystery of the Gospe and other great and important matter it was thu office of tbe Sunday School I deal with the children-witu tho youl of tho cougrogution aad tbo com nu D?ty. If the out) dealt with thu shoe of the flock of Christ, tho ot tn desk willi thu lambs, shorn and uoshori Thu Sunday School was, in fact, tl nursery of tho ohurch, and as a **nun ii on righetti her children," so was it tl duty of euch Christian ohurob to Douri: thu Sunday School, as a valuable iiuxil t' ?ry to the o Lui rob, and os uniting with psreut? in making right impressions apon the youthful minti. .Hore tho speaker oom man ted npbn tba star tup g philosophical suggestion thai tile pviin impressions upon the human mind??crfi made during thjflrst, fifteen yew? o?&tfe^ It had been saidthat tte grand piolaros of the world's heat poets were bat the reproduction of the.impressions made apon their youthful minas at the im? pressionable era. If this were MO, how important, tho speaker Said, ww iy that ourTbpyS"ana gin? sbonld 'be taught to receive religious' *fmpressl?ns~whil?lf yet the dew of' youth rested upon their un? stamped tablet** of the intellect and the soul. The speaker next referred to the origin of the idea involved in tho Sun? day School. The Sunday School, he suggested, began when tho Saviour took issue with bis disciples for seeking to drive children away from Him, os the parents nought tn their parental anxiety to press them upon His Divine atten? tion. The Saviour suid: "Suffer little children lo come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom nf Heaven," This, said the ?punker, is tbe authority upon which tho Sunday School might rest itH claims to special recognition. The Saviour of men and of children-He was the first to suggest to man the bigb office of this enterprise. Colonel Thomas.next addressed him-, self somewhat to the scholars and teachers of the Sunday School. He mud that bo WUK not old, and yet be bad lived long enongh to be profoundly impressed with th?* para.'co?nt claims of religion, and to feel that better thun the wealth of OrmuB or of Iud. waa the "peuoe which passetb all understanding." He appre? ciated BBAUTT, and INTEIIIJROT, and WBALiTH, AND rowan, but, after all, the Christian tc?? the highest style of mao; and what, said be, did it avail ns, if, after gaining the whole word, we should lose our own soul? Better than all else, were tho hopes and promises of the Gospel, and let UH, roon, women and children, observe the apostolic injunc? tion, 'and "COVET BABNESTLY THE BEST speaker, in cou elusion, spoke of the* great work that devolved upon the Saporintendent, Capt. R I). Sena. Hts o lu oo was second only to that o? the ph's tor. If tbe pastor bad to look after tbe. sheep, bis (tho Superintendent's) part was to gather op the lamba, und to help the parental hand in keeping them within tbe fold. If, said the speaker. God tempers tho wind, in a spiritual sense, to the shorn lamb, so it WAS our duty, ander the auspices of the Sunday Hchoot enterprise, not to ueglect tbe re? ligious training of the five or six mil* hons of little children in this country, that more command our attention than tbe six or eight hundred millions of hea? thens whioh the world contained. The speaker congratulated tho Super? intendent upon t he Hncoesa of bis labors, aa evinced m tho report road of the flou? rishing school nuder bis charge, aud ex? pressed thc confidence that in tho fu? ture, nain the pant, tho Supt riutendent would discharge well his important und useful ollice. At the clone of the address, which was received with marked attention, an op? portunity was afforded to those who de? sired to add their names to tho Sooiety, and tho roll of members wus increused by several additious. Among the pleas? ing inoideutR of this occasion was tho voluntary offering, by several mom bern of the Society, of contributions to con? stitute the venerable John Veal a life member.
