MAY 29, 1865: LOCAL NEWS. SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY. Celebratiens in Six Churches—Interesting Ceremonies. Tosday is held the anniversary of the Sun- day School Union of this city, established in 10. Preparations have tor some time been in progress for this event, and no little emulation has been incited in the different echools con- cerning their appearance and acquirements on the occasion. 1t was desirable to collectall the schools in one procession, but the liability of the younger children to be overcome by fa- tigue, rendered it necessary to devise a more simple method for thecelebration. The schools of the city are divided into#ix divisions, which assembled at different churches, the exercises in each church being exactly similar to those of the others. FIRST DIVISION. This division, which was under the mar- shalsbip of G. T. McGlue, assembled at the New York ayenue Presbyterian Church. Mr, B. H. Stinemetz presided as chairman. and ap- ropriate addresses were delivered by Major eneral Howard, Rey. Dr. Gillette, A. W. Thompeon, Esq., and others. Upon the con- clusion of the exercises, the schools returned to their respective churches, where the schol- ars were served with an abundance of refresh- menis of all kinds. The schools of this division, (which consisted of Union Chapel, Western Presbyterian, Young Men’s Obristian Association Mission, Foundry Chapel aud New York avenue Pres- byterian,) assembled at their school houses as early as S o'clock, from whence they proceeded to Lafayette Square, where at 90’clock they fell in line with the schools of the second divi- sion, and headed by a band of music, marched from the Square, passing down H street by the residence of President Johnson, in review of the President, to isth street, down 15th to Pennsylyania avenue, down the avenve to 12th street, up 12th street to H, where tne divisions separated, the first proceeding up H street to the New York avenue church. The Union Chapel school, which was mar- shaled by Mr. E. Baxter, had about 150 schol- ars and teachers inline, and carried with them two handsome banners, one bearing a repre- sentalion of Christ blessing little c’tildren, in- scribed above with the words “Union Sunday School,” and the other bearing the inscription of “Tnion Chapel Sabbath School M. E. Church, organized May, isd4.” The average attendance at this school is about 200 scholars and 24 teachers, with a library of over 300 volumes. Western Presbyterian Sunday School, E. K. Wilson superintendent, numbers 110 scholars and 25 teachers. There was a pretty full turn out of scholars and teachers this morning, who carried a very pretty banner and a number of flags. The school was under the marshalship of J. F. Gleason. Foundry Chapel Sunday School, which numbers 334 scholars and 31 chers, under the superintendency of A. M. Smith, had in line about 300 of that number, whe were mar- shaled by A. T. Leach. The scholars carried with them, besides a number of flags, boquets, 8nd wreaths, two banners, the main banner containing a representation of a shepherd with a Jamb in his arms, and bearing the inscription of «Feed my lambs.’”’ The banner of the infant school contained a picture of a Bible, with the inscription, “Suffer little children to come unto me.” The New York Avenue Presbyterian Church School is superintended by Mr. Samuel Ker, and has an average attendance of 209 scholars 8nd 34 teachers and officers. There was a very full turn out to-day of those belonging to this school, the scholars carrying with them their school banner. On the of this banner, in the distance appears & village church with lofty spire; children wending their way thither, teacher pointang his finger; motto, «This way, walk ye in it.’ On the reverse, “Sabbath School of the New York Avenue Church, organized 1418.” The Young Men’s Christain Association Mis- sion of the First Ward had about 75 schoolars and teachers in line, and carried with them a number of small flags. This school has an ayerage attendance of 100 scholars and 15 teachers. Mr. A. K. Brown is superintendent of the school, and is assisted by H. H. Tilley. SECOND DIVISION. The schools of this division met at their reepective churches and marched in procession to Lafayette Square, to join those of the first division, in paying their respects to President Johnson. ‘he schools, though not out in full Strength, made a very beautiful appearance, separately and in line. The following schools composed this divisio! McKendree Chapel.—This reports 110 scholars and 47 teachers. This morning, previous to joining the procession, a very pleasant reunion took place at the Chapel, New York avenue, near 9th street, cf this sehool and that of St. Paul’s Mission, which is attached to the third division. As the Mission School approached the Chapel, the McKendree Schvol formed in two lines and received the little visitors with clapping hands. and passed them into the Chapel, where they spent a few moments in singing, aud then separated to join their re- spective divisions. Banners—principal, a very pretty new banner, beautifully trimmed. De- sign, “The Guardian of Youth.” Representa- tion, an angel guarding two sma)! children, right hand resting upon the head of a little child ergaged in prayer, left hand on the head of a little boy.

Accompanying this school and the most interesting feature in the line, was the larger children of the Orphan Asylum, about 57 in number, ali neatly clad and evi- dently as happy as their smalier companions. They were accompanied by the matron of the institution, Miss Mary Wannell, Marshalls. Dr. Daniel McFarland and Capt. J. T. Yover. Ninth Street Methodist Protestant.—This school reports 9) seholars and 19 teachers, and was well represented.

The design illustratesthe following text inscribed on the banner: *‘ And Shophan the scribe read the book of the law before Josiah the king.” Marshals, H. G. Ayer, W. W. Wetherilt, Geo. Sen rene” ms All the schools, besides the banners, exhib- ited the stars and stripes along tne lines. In the processions were the pastors of the churches to which the schools are attached, and with them quite a large number of ladies and gen- tlemen, prominent members of the churches. After parading in Lafayette Square, and the two divisions bad united and paid their re- spects to the President, the divisions A and the Second Division to the Fourth Presbyterian Church, where the anni- ver oeremonies were conducted, Mr. D.

The schoole of this division assembied in the Wesley Chapel, where the exercises were held. The annual report of the secretary was read by Mr. A. J. Duvall, and addresses delivered by Rev. S.M. Dickson, Rev. Dr. Nadal, Rev. . W. Ricks, and others, including Mr. John C. Harkness, who presided, The‘ singing by the schools was led by Mr. G. E. W. Sharretis. The various schools assembled at an early hour in the morning, and the large school of Wesley Chapel, marshaled by Mr. Warren Choate and others, proceeded by way of 7th and I streets to the Assembly’s, when the other schools joined in procession with thatof the Chapel, marching down 5th street to the place of meeting. The Wesley Chapel School, under the super- intence of Mr. ©. C. Burr, marshaled as before stated, had in line about 275 teachers and scholars, dressed in their holiday attire, and making a fine show. The first banner was that of the school proper, which has on its fronta representation of Christ blessing the children, with the motto, “Suffer little children to come unte me.” The next was that of the Temper- ance Society attached to the school, bearing on its front a female figure ata fountain with motto of “Love, Purity and Fidelity.” The banner of the school Missionary Society bore a representation of & missionary among the heathens with motto, “Preach my gospel to every creature.”’ Besides the banners there ‘were several national flags in the procession draped in mourning, in respect to the memory of the late President; and each banner was decked with flowers and evergreens, while many of the children carried boqnets in their hands. The Misston School of the Chapel, which was organized in July, 1863, at the corner of §th and S, followed with about 100 scholars, in charge of Mr. Richard Willett, headed bya banner of blue silk, containing the name and date of organization of the school. The school of the Assembly’s Presbyterian Church headed with their beautiiul banner con- taining on its blue front an angel in a cloud in- scribed “Our Guardian Angel” was also in line, in charge of Mr. W. J. Redstrake, Super- intendent, and marshalled by Mr. John T. Hoover. The most of the scholars carried flowers in their hands and the banner was handsomely festooned with evergreens and flowers. This school was organized in 1553, the church then being in charge of Rev. A.G. Carothers, Rey. T. B. McFalls is the present pastor. St Paul’s Methodist Mission, (6th and N sts.) marshalled by Albert Langley and under the superintendance of Mr. J. C. Harkness, were out with over 150 scholars. At the head of the school] their beautiful banner contsining a painting of an eagle in the actef stirring up her nest that her young may learn toe fly in- scribed, ‘And there was no strange God with him, the Lord alone did lead him.”” A beauti- ful silk national flag, which was made by the ladies of the school, was also borne in the line. This school is an off shoot from that of Mc- Kendree Chapel, it having been organized in April, 1864, by anumber of members who with- drew from that station about that time in con- sequence of the troubles hitherto alluded to among the membership, and it was remarked by some that the organization of this school Was one good thing growing out of the quarrel. The most of the parties who left the McKen- dree at that period have renewed their mem~ bership there, and before going in the proces- sion this morning this school] had a re-union with that of the McKendree, some time being spent pleasantly in singing and in interchang- ing words of good feeling towards each other, after which the two schools marched in pro- cession several equares, and when parting, each to their destination, the St. Paul’s marched through theoper ranks of the McKeudree. The school of Fletcher Chapel, which for a year or two past has been attached to McKen- dree Chapel}, but is now in charge ot Rev. Job W. Lambeth, had out about 75 scholars, headed by Mr. L. W. Snyder, Superintendent, and marshalled by Mr. ©. C. Collison, bearing With them a banner, inscribed ++All thy chil- dren shall be taught of the Lord,” and with the name of the echool, which was decked with wreaths and flowers. The little sehool of Providence Chapel (cor- ner of 2d street east, and I street north,) was out with about 36 scholars, headed by Mr. R. B. Griffin, Superintendent, and marshalled by Mr. Robert Morrison, carrying & white silk banner, inscribed: ‘1 love them that love me; and them that seek me early shall find me.” FOURTH DIVIBION. This division was represented by the school of the First Presbyterian Church, 4% street, mission school of the same, the E street Bap- tist Church and the Calvary Baptist Church. The First Presbyterian school with its mission school met at the Church at + o’clock, and un- der the direction of the superintendent, Mr. O. ©. Wight, proceeded to the Uavyalry Baptist Church. The former school had out abont 200 scholars, mostly dressed in white, and pre- sented a@ very neat appearance. Their banner was exceedingly elegant, bearing a cross sup- ported upon an open Bible, bearing ascroll in- scribed “The Bulwark of our Freedom ” The Calvary Baptist Church, Mr. Stickney superintendent, had present about 250 scholars. The banner of this school is also very fine. One side 1s an oval painting of a child kneeling be- fore an open Bible, with hands cJasped and in an attitude of adoration. Mount Calvary is visible in the distance, with the Cross upon its summit, spanned with the bow of promise. On the reverse, in geld letters upon @ ground of blue silk, is the name of the school and the date of organization. The Finley Hospital band was eecured by this school and led the proves- £ion composed of this sehool and the First Presbyterian through a number of the princi- ple streets to the 44 street church. The E street Baptist Church school, Mr. Welling superintendent, was represented by about 100 scholars, and proceeded direct from their church to the 4X street church. The ban- ner borne by this school is emblazoned with a beautiful design representing Christ in the act of bleseing little children as they kneel before him. All the banners were beautifally trimmed with flowers and pennants. Upon arriving at the designated church, the banners were all placed near the pulpit with three small na- tional flags, and the exercises of the day com- menced, according to the general programme, Mr. Thompson,ot the First Presbyterian school, offering the invocation, annd Mr. Howlett, of the same, the lezding prayer. Addresses were delivered by Captain Calendar, Rev. Mr. Graves, pastor in charge of.the ¢hurch, and Rev. Mr. Hare, of Alexandria. At the con- clusion of the exercises the scholars repaired to the lecture room, where suitable refresh- Ments had been prepared. FIFTH DIVISION. The exercises of this division were held at Waugh Chapel, (Rev. G. V. Leech,) corner of 2d street east, and A street north, (Copel Hill,) where Mr. G. F. Gulick presided; Mr. R B. Ferguson read the annual report, and J. M. McFarland led the singing. The space back of the pupit had been beautifully draped in mourning for our late President; the semi- circle above the pulpit having the black ar- ranged in rays, while a large white rosette was in the center, from which hung the national aot the lower part gathered in mourning. ‘he school attached to the church, in charge of Mr. O.

The Union numbers 733 teachers and 5,277 scholars, and during the year there have been 128 conversione and 5$ deaths. The libraries contain 15,295 volames. These figures show a decrease in the number last year of 3 schools, 7 teachers, 34 scholars und 25 con versions. which is accounted for by the withdrawal of two of the Episcopal Schools (leaving none of their denomination in the Union) and the consolida- tion ot the Young Men’s Christian Association Mission with the Capitol Hill Presbyterian School together, from the fact that the officers of the schools have stricken from the rolls the manies of many scholars w.0 haye ceased their connection with the schools. The figures above may be relied on as showing the average number of teachers and scholars present dar ing the regular Sunday morning exercises. The Secretary speaks in appropriate terms of the patient vigttance and untiring devotion of the teachers and officers to their work, and makes the gratifying statement that the E street Baptist School reports the conversion of 32 of the scholars—one sixth of their entire number. While ali the schools have done well, the Foundry (Methodist) and Calvary (Baptist) schools, laboring under pecailiar cir- cumstances, set a good example: the former baving enlarged its numbers from 250 to 324, and the latter from 175 to 325. ‘The Secretary concludes by alluding to the large field for work, and says while the Union bas many causes for congratulation and thank- {ulness, they shonid start out with the deter- mination that the coming year shall showa brighter record and happier results. CONCLUSION. At the conclusion of the exercises the schools Tepaired to their respective churches and par- took of a bountiful supply of refreshments, previous to their dismissal for the day. PRES1 DENT JOHNSON AND THR SCHOOLS. This morning, after the ist and 2d divisions ot the schools had passed in review of Presi- dent Jobnson at his residence on H street they roceeded to the White House, where the resident shortly afterwards made his ap- pearance and took up a position on the front of the north portico. He was greeted with deafening cheers by the male scholars and wreaths of flowers were showered upon him from all directions. The President gracetally acknowledge the compliment by bowing, and quiet having been restored the schools sang with fine effect the bymn entitled “We are Marching On.” Upon the conclusion of the singing ne the schools the President proceeded to dress them in @ most happy manner, but want of space prevents us from giving his remarks in detail to-day. He understood the object of the schools in passing the mansion was to pay their respects tothe Executive, but he pre- ferred that it should be modified so that the merk of respect shown by the children should be offered to one more deserving, as he wasall bis life opposed to treating persons beyond their due merit. The President then urged tie scholars to haye a proper appreciation of worth, and remarked that he would now speak to them in & parenta! way. He then proceeded to urge upon the boys &nd girls to take advan- tage of the opportunities afforded them for ed- ucating themselves, assuring them that none con ld be educated without they done it them- selves The President assured the littie boys that they were all born candidates for the Presi- dency, as it was within their reach and they should prepare themselves for it, and addres- sing himeelf to the little girls remarked that they were all born candidates for President’s wives, and they should go to work and quali- fy themselves for the position President Johnson continued to speak for some time, and after he had conclnded, the chuldren all marched by him, he taking each one by the hand, and in a tender and becoming manner accepting the boquets of flowers that ‘Were presented him by the little girls. + 202 + (G7 Jetf.
