Cotton Mather mentions Eliot’s prayers, when the question of Ministerial inefficiency was discussed in their synod—‘Lord, for schools everywhere among us! that our schools may flourish! that every member of this assembly may go home, and procure a good school in his town! that, before we die, we may be so happy as to see a good school encouraged in every plantation of the country.’ See some interesting details of the effects of Sunday Schools in Wales, under the instrumentality of the late Mr. Charles, connected with the revival and extension of religion. Life of Rev. T. Charles (p. 237-258) a most edifying piece of Ministerial Biography.
