Leader. What has been the success of the work for temperance in the Sunday-schools of the Association? Girls. Among the 7,000 scholars in the Sunday-schools, a very encouraging work has been carried on year by year. Bands of Hope have been organized and temperance gatherings held and pledges signed by a very large number of children. Boys. Mr. Curtis writes from Alabama as follows: “Temperance at Anniston booming. The whole country thoroughly aroused. Temperance taught in the Sunday-school. Band of Hope meetings, temperance prayer-meetings and mass meetings with lectures and discussions.” Leader. Do those who go forth from the schools of the Association to teach and preach promote the cause of temperance? Girls. They do. Over 150 who were converted to the cause of temperance while at Tougaloo, Miss., signed the pledge and did temperance work in connection with the teaching in the common schools, and in various other ways. Boys. During a single year the total number of signers to the pledge obtained by the students connected with one of the institutions of the Association was 1,300. The teachers sent forth from the normal classes exert great influence, not only in the schools where they give instruction, but also among their friends and neighbors in the localities where they carry on their work.

[See AMERICAN MISSIONARY, May, 1883.] THINGS NEEDFUL. Leader. What is needful in order that the American Missionary Association may succeed in its great work among the Indians, Chinese and Negroes? Girls. Above all things it is desirable that those in its schools should give their hearts to the Lord Jesus Christ, in order that they may have a great teacher and helper to guide and assist them in all their efforts for the practice of Christian virtues. Boys. They need also a larger number of well educated missionaries to go among them to instruct and encourage them in all that pertains to right living. Leader. What two things can all those who have taken a part in this Concert Exercise do to assist the American Missionary Association? Girls. Every one can pray that the Lord will send forth laborers and pour out his Holy Spirit upon the schools and churches established for the Indians, Chinese and Negroes in America. Boys. Each one can contribute money for the support of missionaries and to help those who are studying to become teachers and ministers among three great races represented in the work of the Association.
