HISTORY OF ST. PAUL'S
Charles O. Krause was present every Sunday for nine years, 1884 to 1892 inclusive ; Guy Ourand has been present every Sunday for the last six years; Ger- trude Barron and John Rouzer were present every Sunday for a period of six years; William Belt for five, and Arthur Krause and E. W. Hansell for four.
All members on the Roll of Honor for the first time have been presented with a Bible, and the following years with a suitable book, in each case tlie selections being entrusted to the superintendent. It is needless to say these gifts are sought for, and it is believed highly prized. A record is inscribed in each book. The total entries on the roll number 260, an average per year of 18, and are confined to 109 persons, nearly $ of whom were inale and over 5 female members of the school, the proportion being about the same as that of the enrollment.

International Lessons-Studies and Lessons in 1892.
First six months: First quarter, in the Old Testament in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel ; second quarter, in the Psalms and Daniel. Second six months- Third and fourth quarters-in the New Testament, in the Acts of the Apostles, chapters 1 to 15-" The First Christian Church, etc.," "The Conversion of Saul of Tarsus," The First Missionary Tour."
What interesting lessons we have had during the past year! More interesting, seemingly, than in former years. But it may appear so only because of a grow- ing interest in Bible study, stimulated by the helps that are given, and a more earnest application to duty. Six months' study with ancient Israel, the Prophets, and the Psalmist, and six months more with St. Paul, have been a valuable preparation for an increased interest in Sunday-school instruction and study. And now the first six months of 1893 have given us studies in the books of Ezra, Haggai, Zechariah, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Malachi, and these are to be followed by lessons from the Acts and the Epistles.

The direct class offerings have averaged 6 and 612 cents for years past, and in 1892, our jubilee year, reached the unusual figures of seven and ten-seventeenths cents per member per Sunday, or a total of $3.95 for the year. The ordinary offering is five cents, the penny being unusual.
We believe both in the privilege and in the duty, and give for our own and for others' uses. There were only six Sundays in 1892 when the offering was less than $10, ten Sundays when it was over $18, and eight Sun- . days when it was over $20.
The smallest collection was $6.79, and the largest $125.57.
But look at the record of the first six months in 1893 for figures that excel even those just given-eight and one-tenth cents per member per Sunday !
We propose to keep it up, to give as God prospers us, to be rich towards God, and we know that "God loveth a cheerful giver. "
OUR GIVING CREED.
Ist. We believe that every one should help others to the Gospel.
2d. That every one should help as much as he can.

ENGLISH LUTHERAN SUNDAY SCHOOL.
3d. That every one should find this work of helping others very blessed and helpful to himself.
So we put it down as our rule that we will-
Ist. Give regularly an offering at least every Lord's Day.
2d. Give conscientiously according to our ability.
3d. Give joyfully, because it proves a privilege and blessing to us.
The privilege and the duty go hand in hand together.
FOR OFFERINGS.
This school still claims to be the banner school, not only in the general synod of our own church, but for recent years of all schools represented in the Interna- tional Sunday-School Conventions, its superintendent being a delegate to the last three, and already elected a delegate to head the delegation from this city to the seventh International and the second World's Sunday- School Conventions, to be held at St. Louis August 31 to September 6, inclusive, 1893.
- Our Two Star Records for Continuous Service.
A SPLENDID RECORD.
Our treasurer, Brother Albert F. Fox, on the 9th of July, 1893, completed his thirtieth year of continu- ous membership in St. Paul's Sunday school. He en- tered the school on Sunday, July 15, 1863, and has been continuously connected with it eversince. He entered as a pupil, and has passed through the various grades of teacher, assistant superintendent, and secretary, and has been treasurer ever since May 25, 1873, a period of over twenty years. In addition to this, he has been since March, 1875, one of our most faithful and earnest
