APPENDIX A.
REPORT ON THE SABBATH SCHOOL FOR 1862.
THE Sabbath School connected with this Church has a member- ship (including Officers and Teachers) of about one hundred and ticenty.t The ordinary attendance, from Sabbath to Sabbath, is somewhat less than one hundred. During the year 1862, the schol- ars were arranged into eighteen classes, of which ten, were in the female, and eight, in the male department.
The course of study pursued, was a series of lessons taken from the Gospel of Matthew, in consecutive order; they were of such length as to be conveniently learned, and it is gratifying that nearly all, complied with this rule of the school.
Early in the year, an unusual religious interest was apparent in some of the classes; it resulted in the conversion of four scholars, who have connected themselves with this Church.
There have been tio removals by death-both members of the Infant class.
The Missionary Society of the School is a useful and interesting auxiliary. The cash value of what it produced during the year, is estimated at $144.34. It has been dispensed among destitute Mis- sionary families at the West, who, in response, have made ac- knowledgments which more than compensate for the little sacri- fices made in their behalf.
The public meeting, or "Concert," due the second Sunday even- ing of January, April, July and October, has been held and well attended. Such meetings are important as they afford opportunity to bring to the attention of the children, subjects which cannot be conveniently presented in class instruction. The attendance of pa- rents and friends of the children, is always desired at these meetings.
The Officers for the ensuing year are as follows, viz :
CHARLES B. WHITTLESEY-Superintendent.
HARRIET E. PECK-Supt. of Female department. MARY B. SHIPMAN-Assistant Supt. of Female department. LEONARD WINSHIP-Secretary and Treasurer.
ROGER S. WHITE,
EDWARD N. WHITTELSEY, Librarians.
t The decline of the School, in size. in recent years as compared with the earlier years of its history, is accounted for by the withdrawal of many young men and women from its Bible classes to labor in the va- rious Mission schools of the city. Formerly, these adult classes were larger and more numerous than the primary ; at the present time, they scarcely exist.

APPENDIX D.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE LADIES HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
The Ladies Home Missionary Society has completed the eleventh year of its existence. It was organized at the house of Deacon Hotchkiss, Nov. 17th, 1851, by a few ladies and gentlemen who agreed to cooperate in the work of supplying garments to Home Missionaries, with the twofold purpose of aiding their families, and of promoting a better acquaintance among members of our congre- gation. Commencing with donations of three barrels a year, valued [undervalued] at about $163, it has gone on steadily progressing in efficiency, until in 1862 it reports sending thirteen barrels, at a valuation, including fieight, of $1420. Since its commencement it has distributed about seventy-two barrels, estimated at $6661; and sixty-eight times have the families of devoted men and women been gladdened by their contents.
This is not a "tea-drinking" society ; but to promote desired acquaintanceship and familiarity, social congregational meetings are held from time to time where refreshments are liberally pro- vided. Ordinary meetings are quite informal. Any lady in the congregation becomes a member by paying twenty-five cents per annum, and is welcomed at the semi-monthly meetings, where she can spend any portion, or the whole, of the afternoon as she may choose.
The rent of rooms is defrayed by gentlemen, as originally agreed ; and many valuable garments are donated by them, which, if not quite new, are very gratefully received, and almost always prove a " good fit" where they are sent. Letters received, are often touch- ing and always interesting, and are read at the meetings of the Society. Additional interest is also imparted by frequent visits from the Pastor. A better room and larger attendance, would still further increase the usefulness of this Society.
Mrs. D. W. LATHROP, Mrs. ELI B. AUSTIN and Miss E. NORTH, with a board of twenty Managers, are the Officers for 1863.
