SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION

A meeting of the Sunday School Union was held on Thursday evening, the president, Mr. Meadowcroft, being in the chair. The action of the sub-com-mittee in deciding to hold the prize distribution in the Town Hall was endorsed. Mr. Howe reported that the practices had commenced, and as the weather improved it was anticipated there would be a larger attendance at the three weekly practices.. The Auckland executive of the Dominion Association of Sunday School Unions advised that they were taking up the matter of forming unions in various parts of the Dominion, and purposed pushing the matter actively. A vote of sympathy was passed with the relatives of the late Mrs. A. R. Atkinson, who for very many years was one of the union’s examiners. It was reported that Mr. Hercus’s teachers’ training class had resumed after a slight recess. The attendances had been good up to time ofi recess, and it was hoped that for the remainder of the course the class would be well supported. A vote of thanks was accorded to the examiners, and it was resolved to ask them to prepare a report giving their opinion of the respective merits of the international and Australasian graded courses. Special mention was made of the committee’s obligation to Miss Kershaw and Miss Collins, who had taken up the work of tho late Mrs. Atkinson. Mrs. Atkinson had started to mark the questions whilst in bed a week or two before her death, but found herself unable to continue. A committee, with Mr. Grocott as convener, was set up to make arrangements for the observation of the day of universal prayer for Sunday schools.
