Abstract:
Went to the city to attend a large gathering at the First Presbyterian Church, likely the Pennsylvania State Sunday School Convention held at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Notes some 1,500 children in attendance with addresses made by Mr. Wells, Mr. Huntington [possibly Frederic Dan Huntington, 1819-1904], Mr. Chidlow [possibly Benjamin Williams Chidlaw, 1811-1892], Mr. Taylor, & Dr. [John Henry Augustus] Bomberger. Robert McKnight presided. Provides details of the convention's proceedings and some information contained in reports from Cumberland County. Discusses food. Happy with Mary's school report. Briefly notes the successful rescue of a man from a collapsed well. $3,500 was raised for [William Miller] Paxton's church to purchase an organ.
