THE

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER.

A LIVE SUNDAY SCHOOL MONTHLY,

PUBLISHED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE CHICAGO SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.

THE Publishers desire to express their appreciation of the popular favor which has marked the reception of THE TEACHER, during the past year. It has received the highest com mendation from Clergymen, Superintendents and Teachers, and has become the TEXT BOOK of Sabbath Schools in every section of the country. In its future conduct no effort will be spared to render it fully up to Sunday School needs, and eminently practical in every respect. We hope to make it a necessity to every School and to every Teacher.

THE LESSONS AND QUESTIONS will be prepared by the Rev. EDWARD EGGLESTON. A Lesson will be given for EACH SABBATH IN THE YEAR. The QUESTION PAPER will be issued as usual. GEOGRAPHICAL EXERCISES will be practically presented by ROBERT MORRIS, L L. D. OBJECT LESSONS will be furnished by Mrs. M. A. McGONFGAL, and others.

ILLUSTRATED PICTURE LESSONS for Primary Classes, will be given during the year by Dr BLACKALL.

COLLOQUIES AND OTHER CONCERT EXERCISES will occasionally be furnished by some of our best writers.

Among the articles upon general topics, we take pleasure in announcing the following: THE REV. JOHN TODD, D. D., will contribute a series written in his inimitable style. THE REV. JOHN M. GREGORY, LL. D., will furnish a series, which will be equally valuable with his "Seven Laws of Teaching," published last year.

THE REV. EDWARD EGGLESTON will supply several articles upon "Teacher Training." Besides these, we expect occasional articles from other contributors, of last year, among whom are:--R G. PARDEE, Rev. H. L. HAMMOND, Mrs. M. B. C. SLADE, Mrs. EMILY J. BUGBEE, New York. Rev. J. P. Cook, France, Miss FRANCIS E. WILLARD, Miss M. B. SLEIGHT, EMILY HUNTINGTON MILLER. W.H, GROSER, England, RALPH WELLS, Rev. ALFRED TAYLOR, MISS MARY E. ATKINSON, and others, with whom we are in correspondence.

ITEMS OF SUNDAY SCHOOL INTELLIGENCE will be carefully gleaned from every source. NEW MUSIC will be published each month, under the direction of Prof. H. R. PALMER, of Chicago. MAPS AND OTHER ILLUSTRATIONS will be given from time to time, during the year.

The teachers have returned home who were teaching in the town of Helena. Lieutenant Colonel Gamble of Illinois, in a letter received from him some time ago, spoke of the great pleasure he had had in visiting these schools, and it is very much desired by the colored people of Helena that the same teachers should return and have school in the new school house just finished.

In a letter just received from Major Sweeny, the agent of the Freedmen's Bureau at Helena, he writes that it is the earnest wish both of the colored people and himself, that the teachers will come back in the beginning of the Ninth month. The new school house is built high up, so as not to be affected by the floods which do so much damage in the town, and which have done so much more damage than usual this year. The schools in the Asylum at Lauderdale have been discontinued.

We recently elected a colored man to the superintendency, with a view to train him for the work, that he may be the better prepared to assume the responsibility after we leave the field. The moral and religious improvement of the people, young and old, gives us cause for encouragement."

Rowland T. Reed writes: "The size of our meeting-room having been reduced to suit the military stationed here, was filled to overflowing this morning before the hour of meeting. The Sabbath School, except the adult class, was taken to the school-room, It consisted of about 85 children and young persons, Emma Hubbard's class being united with L. Jenkins', and all now under her care. The school could not attend meeting for want of room. The adult class numbered about 75 when I commenced exercises, and increased till the house
