deeply interested in Sunday-schools and do a 

 great deal for these Christianizing Institutions 

 at their homes. Mr. Cooke has a very large 

 school (some 400 scholars, if correctly remember- 

 ed,) and Mr. Page has 170 little ones gathered 

 in, and in a mere hamlet too, the children in 

 many cases coming from long distances. Ad- 

 dresses by the above gentlemen were made to 

 the Sunday-schools at several places on the 

 route. Before reaching the fishing grounds a 

 Sabbath was spent at a very pleasant village by 

 the way, and the whole party will ever remem- 

 ber with unalloyed pleasure the way in which 

 that day was spent. Some of the i)arty attended 

 cliurch three times, assisting in the singing of 

 the different churches. Addresses were made 

 as before mentioned by Mr. Cooke and Mr. Page, 

 and also by Mr. Reed, who is quite happy Avhen 

 lie can talk to the little folks, and who does it 

 well too, at the same time telling them what a 

 large Sunday-school he has in Brooklyn, X. Y., 

 in which he is deeply interested. Mr. Keed re- 

 marked that to his way of thinking, it was, as 

 far as he was concerned, often a means of grace ^ 

 to go on a fishing excursion ; many seemed 

 to agree with, while none ventured to differ 

 from him in this view of the matter.
