the Sunday School has been revived and is in a very flourishing condition

During the vacancy in the pastorate of the Mission the Sunday School was disbanded and the congregation scattered. Through the efforts of Mr. W. G. Emanuel, a Postulant and student in St. Augustine’s Normal school, and Miss Jane E. Thomas, aided by members of the Congregation and some students from the School, the Sunday School has been revived and is in a very flourishing condition.
