the remainder of the year and four years thereafter. In March, 1873, money was appropriated to purchase mottoes with which to embellish the vestry walls. These mottoes, after a long and meritorious service, have lately been retired, and the members of the school can devote more time to the spirit of the law in the absence of these embellishing letters. Rev. W. S. Ralph, then the pastor of the church, acted as superintendent during 1878-1879; and while under his administration, in January, 1879, the school celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary with appropriate exercises.

ly for so many years. The school met with an irreparable loss when this good woman died two years ago. Three generations of Sunday School scholars had grown up under her guidance, and her influence is still felt in the world, in a manifold degree, through the many young men and women who to-day remember her kind and helpful words and her infinite love for child life. The most notable event of late years was the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the school, which occurred February 23, 1894. All who had at any time been connected with it as officers or teachers were invited, and about 200 were present. Many old friends met for the first time in years, and it was, in consequence, a most enjoyable occasion. There are doubtless many things that should be mentioned in an article of this sort which, for lack of information, are omitted. I recollect, however, one matter of which no mention is made in the records. It is the kindness of four classes in the school, by whos

inking purposes, shows that the principles and water imbibed in those early days so impressed the young minds that to-day Somerville heads the van of cold water cities in Massachusetts. The records of 1862 bring to our minds the unhappy event which called so many of the young men from their homes. Several officers and teachers resigned that they might help uphold the nation's honor, protect the Stars and Stripes from insult, and, with God's help, save a nation from disruption. At Christmas, 1863, a collation and tree were given to the children, and something of this sort has been practically a yearly occurrence ever since. During Anniversary Week in the sixties (and seventies, also, perhaps), mass meetings of all the Sunday School children in the Union were held at Music Hall or Tremont Temple, and special cars were each year provided to convey the school. It is evident the parish did not run the fairs at first, as several mentions are made of profits from fairs, and do
