The fifty-first anniversary of the American Sun- | day School Cnion was held last evening at tne Academy of Music, William E. Dodge presiding. An auaience composed of some of New York's most enlightened citizens attended, and every | part of the house was filled, from upper gallery to proscenium boxes. Tke ladies were scarceiy in excess of the number of gentlemen, a noteworthy sign of tne intrest iu this work of the Sunday schools, On the platform several of the most prominent clergymen in the city occu- pied seats; also laymen of mark in the mercantile and scientific worla. The scenery of the stage ‘was shifted back to the fall limit, and on rising tiers of seats were more than 200 children, most of them little giris, who had been chosen from the several Sunday schools in tne city to sing the hymns selected for the evening. No orchestra was in attendance, but a piano accompaniament led the children admiraby. The singing of the | hymns was not the least interesting part of the exercises of the anniversary.

Dr. John Cotton Smith’s audress he alluded to the advan of Catholicliy im tms country. He did uot, ke others, look upon these with indifference, but upon one point ne was empnatic., While he would not act like a Bismarck toward the Koman Cath- otic Church, still he would not aliow that Courch ‘o step in and in any way interfere with American secular education. Within twenty years from now, if the Catnolic Churen had the teaching of our’ youth its metaphysical theories, we snoaid see numoers of men obdelieving | im transubdstantiation and Papal infallinil- ity. secular education should be let | alone, Toe sunday school and the church were the places to teach religion, and he thought that | the teaching now Delong! tae Sunday school | | should be extenved to tne schoolroom on week |4 days aswell. But we should not allow tue Roman Catholic Church to link itseif with our American school rnstituiions. | In tnac part of Dr. Smitn’s address in which, as | above, he pronvauced strongly and firmly against the recent endeavor of the parochial schools to become mergea, under certain conditions, with the public schools the audience applauded loudly and continuously. ‘The lollowing sinopsis of the annual report for the y ows the work done recently by the American Sunday school Unton:—In New En land during eleven years the missionary organ- ized 212 schoois, canvassed 216 townal in five States, making more taan 13.0.0 house: and delivering nearly 1,700 sermons and New churches followed the estab several of tne schools.
