Our National Congress aaaombled Washington oo Monday last, Dec. filh, agreeable to the provisions of the Constitution.

I suppoee every one that reads this belongs to some Sunday School, and therefore will be interested in what others are doing to form new schools. Well, then, with youj mind* go with me to spend two hours (yon must get home before it is la:*) in tbe “Temple.” This is • great room, almost as large and evem hotter looking than tbe vast “Jayne's Hall,” mbere you're all heard about tbs Union P%yar me*-ling* being held. To the floec-and. gdBeries of the Temple there are. 1 think, not It twelve entrance doors, so that tbe 1 may get in in season. We wlK«o in at mside door.

One hundred and forty light* In those four fine ranges. You s*y it's splendid. Bnt sew ihoae men ascending the platform; they are the speakers. And what a group ef brightfaces behind them. There are needy two hundred children, who will sing sweet hymns. Now the organ begins; how gaol, ly: it seems like a sweet violin and clarinet. played together. Now Us sound is strong and full ; ye*, its harmonies are thundered forth till the vast Temple fairly trembles! I lore to listes, O, how sweatand varied! -Bit he has played twenty miontes already, and those children have

all risen. Tbey sing: .

“Thank God for tbe Bible! 'tie-there thatwe find , v The atory of Christ and hi* love j* , and all that hymn ; you know it. don*T yout How plainly they speak all..the words.— They've been trained in tbe public schools to do that. They stand np and speak oat os though they loved to—at they do. But Joel look round, what a sea of focat"! thw Temple is/off. Tbey look, as though tbey

enjoyed the singiug.

Now the whole jnrenfle choir join her, sing-
