 Presentnsent in .faUOr of SabLath Schools.

 The undersigned, the Grand Jury for the eounty of Wake, North Carolina May 10th, 1926, having discharged the orr dinary duties devolving upon them, cannot separate before they present to their fellow citizens, for their support and encourage ment, the system of Sunday School in- struction, which is about to be tendered to the inhabitants of our county.

 Itoft becomes the painful duty of Grand Jurors, as guardians of the peace of the country, to present for the aninadversion of the court, those who have offended a. gainst the laws of the country-and this for the purpose of suppressing vice and encouraging virtue. Among those who have thus become subjects for punishment, the largest portion will be found to consist of youth broughtu in ignorance, and train ed up in immortality ]; youth, whose early education has been entirely overlooked, and whose habits have been utterly negIec- ted. The design of Sunday Schools is to remedy this great and growing evil. They have for their object the grataitous instruc- ton of the young and ignorant-the chil- dren of the indigent, as well as of the veal thy, so that they may read for themselves, and thus be better able to understand those great truths, the knowledge and practice of which minister to mans present welfare and future eternal peace. 3

 '. The publications of the present day as- sure us of fact which should be deeply impressed on every parents heart, and awaken the interest of every lover of his country. It is this-among the thousands of children and youth taught in the nume- rous Sunday Schools in our own and in other countries, few, if any, have ever been arraigned before court of justice for crime especially for crimes of any magnitude. This single fact speaks volumes in favor of that system, which to us. appears so emi- nently calculated to difuse throughout the community at large, those virtuous princi- ples and habits which have ever been found the safeguard of republican institutions Under these impressions they do earnestly recommend to their fellow citizens of the county to encourage and cherish these in- stitutions and to aid by their influence those who may be engaged in this useful and laudable work. And they earnestly hope, that by these means, the tifne may soon come, when the children and youth of every neighbourhood shall be taught to read, and their daily habits become such as to present to our country the promise of better generation than she has hitherto witt messed. -Raleigh Reg.
