Our correspondent, Mr. Hell, writes with the earnestness of honest convi tion and arraigns the Sunday-school pretty severely for its evil tendency . We have always been, sinee our recollection, connected with the Sunday-school, ami have all this time heen an earnest and honest advocate of its cause and have striven to j>ro mote and extend its influence and teaching. If we ha\o erred in this, .... r.,..i ?i i.r..i i > n-t-i | I NIII IS I II I Wi! Mil VI* IKM'II, SlU'l arc still, in jrood company. Men, eminent fur piety and learning, conspicuous for ability mid earnest desire to promote the cause of the christian religion amono- men. are allied with the Sunday-school cause. The distinguished Baptist, I >r. Broadiis. the eminent Presbyterian, I )r. ( reen, the jiions Methodist, ("nr I isle, and all ainm'ssive christians, are workers in and for Sunday schools. Kvcn our blessed Lord doiirned to take little children in I lis arms and bless them.

I{ecoirni/ine this undeniable truth, what would he put before his child to feed its mind and form its character? t lie t rut Its of (i oil's Holy Hook, or such trash a- ti can j pick in from its surroundings? Me have always roirarded this Inst attentive as a dangerous experiinent, ami universally adopted would soon eventuate in dark and jdoomv heathenism. The workers in the Sundav-scool do not propose to substitute the teachings in the Sundav-sehoel for the work of .lesus ( hrist in the salvation of the children- nor <li> ?l<..vr ' x" |I to replace 11?*? regenerating influence of the llolv Spirit I?v '.In' pi-( ous instruction of the touchers, hut tho design is to bring our chiidron j under the hallowed influence of the I )i vine Teacher, t tint they may i in hide of his Sj?irit and ho filled \vi h all the fullness of llis grace. It is not we can inuUo them christians, mtlens ro/< /I*, hut we can bring them within the sacred precincts of gospel instruction and show them the characteristics and attributes of our father in heaven that lie is "merciful, and gracious, longsulTering and abundant in goodness and truth, not willing (wishing H, V.) that any should perish, hut that all should come to repentance." Thou shall teach the principles and precepts of the law diligently unto thy children, and shall talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest hv tho way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Was the cliil?lr?*n of the Jews duller, mure stupid, than ours, that they should require such diligence and intense effort to implant the principle* of the law of Moses, in their minds; and ours so brioht and r> receptive that they intuitively accent the truths of the (iospel? Preposterous: The church, in its external polity and methods, adapted to advance the interests of C'hrists Kingdom, was not made in cast iron moulds ami tlirjwn to the children of men for their procrustean use. The principles that should govern and animate its membership are inflexible, out the means and methods suited, in different ages, to spread scriptural holiness over these lands, are variable and flexible. The Sunday-school has been adopted into its methods of service; (iodand promoting his glory among men, and its efficiency to accomplish this purpose is denied by very few at this day, and this nonsenscical prejudice against an institution, that tlioy know as much about as a Hindu knows of the philosophic principle^, of Plato, is giving way and dist^^ pearing before the effulgence engendered and propagated I Sunday-school itself.
