SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
AnnualSunday School Convention of the
Ashileld Circuit, held lu Hackett's
church.
DIORNING SESSION.
-nreleventh annual Sunday Sch
Convention of the414fro.-1---ser- mutt,
Methodist churer,cas field in Hackett's
church on Friday, the 19th inst. Mr.
T. Stewart occupied the chair during
the morning session.
After devotional services, Mr. W.A.
Hackett was appointed secretary of
the convention.
-The first subject, " The best method
of handling a S.S. Library,"' was dealt
with. Mr. 1). Agnew, thought the
best method of handling a library was
by the "card system" by which the
pupil selected whatever book he wished.
Mr. Irwin thought a good paper took
the place of a library to a great extent.
Mr. Johnston spoke of the difficulty of
giving out books to 4 or 5 in a family
and said when the books had been read
they might be preilinted to some poor
school.
A discussion took place on "The best
way to conduct a review -aerviee.". • Mr.
H. Johnston thought it a good plan to
-review -the -lessons -monthry, -and--then
devote review Sunday to Temperance
or missionary lessons. X11 agreed in
reviewing the lessons as iflioroirghly as
possible each Sunday and in devoting
at least one Sunday' in a quarter to the
temperance lesson.
The different reports from three of
-the schools were read and showed them
to be in a flourishing conditien..
A number of interesting experiences
in connection' with Sunday schocil work
were then given.
Mr. J. Irwin welcomed those from
the other appointments. •
• The morning session was closed by
• Dr, tionginan pronouncing the bene-
diction.
AFTERNOON. SESSION.
During this session the chair was
ably filled by Mr. Henry Johnston.
Messrs. D..Agnew and T. Stevenson
delivered interesting addresses full of
valuable advice to children and young
people. Mr. Stevenson compared the
bible with a compass, and spoke of the
influence for good or evil which we all
exert. •. -
The "International Lessons" • were
then talked about, alid Mr. R. E.
Brown thought they were a great im-
provement because the lessons were
closely linked together,: and because
every school studied the same lesson on
the Same Sunday.
The next subject "What would you
call successful S. S. work," was intro-
duced and ably handled by Mr. James
Gerdner. He thought successful S. S.
work would make our boys and girls
law abiding citizeus,..lead them to study
the word of God and to love the
Saviour.
Mr. J. Irwin opened the debate on
"The best S.S. literature." by condemn-
ing a great many books in the libraries
as unsuitable for reading. A lively
discussion followed in which Rev. E.
P. Roe's and other light works were
condemned., Dr.Stroneman said that
more history's, biography's of good
and great men, and works like Pansy's
should find their way into the library.
The afternoon session was then closed.
EVENING SESSION.
The evening ,session was better
attended than former sessions. The
chair was taken by the pastor.
"The relation of S.S. to character
building," was taken up by Mr. James
Taylor, , who pointed out the difference
between the characters of persons in a
neighborhood with a school and in'a
neighborhood without one.. He said
the only, avenue by which we can judge
a person scharacter is bytheir words and
deeds. Desires arid principals generally
control the actions and religious princi-
'pluslead us to do right because its right.
He compared character builcling.to the
building of a hOtise. The subject was
well discussed by Mr. R. E. Brown and
others.
" The benefits derived from teach-
ing temperance ite the S. school," were
pothted ont'WTAsts. Joseph Taylor

" the chief end. of man is to glorify
God," and not to twitter away his time
in amusements. . A real christian does
not yearn for these things as he has the
real enjoyment in this life. Dancing
should be condemned by all people,
especially Methodists and if found at
dance houses and such places.,contempt
is brought upon them. He said the
christian does not need to look for fun
as he has joy and gladness in serving
the Lard. He thought a. great 'curse
in churches to -day • was tea -meetings,
where christians tried to amuse those
of the world, and that this work
should be left to the hote/-keepers and
others, who tickle the ear and receive the
penny. The nearer we live to God, the
more unpopular with a Certain class we
become. Itwas noticeable tgat the.
men Who led in 'so-called sports are not,
the leaders in the church. Neck -tie
socials, panoramas, ,etc., came in for a
large s:hare efconclemnation,,
"The question drawer" was opened
by Dr. Strongman when a number of
interesting and difficult problems were
disposed of. •
A pleasing feature of° the convention
was the singing of the Sunday school
children under --th'e- -1-eadei-ailiip-Or
Mr. J. Irwin.
After the usual vote of thanks, one
of the most interesting and best con-
ventions, that have yet been held, was
brought to a close.

APiINEXATION.
To ths Editor of the Sentinel.
DEAR SIR,—Dr. Gamier instead of
answering the has drifted, off into a lot
cawpaign talk, which haS no. more
bearing on the subjeet of Annexation
than an eclipse of the moon on a, last
years bird's nest.
With the platforms of the two rival
parties we have nothing to do; the sub-'
ject under discussion is 'Annexation,
not Grit v,. -Tory. Neither party as a
whole is entirely in sympathy with the
Annexatio, movement, but although
d� not know 'of a single prominent:
Reformer who is not it its favor; I ara
pleased to be able to state that the
Hon. J. J. C. Abbott, premier of Can-
ada and leader of the party to Which
Dr. Garnier feels so proud to belong,
was the first to sign the • celebrated
Canadian manifests iti favor of Annex-
ation to the United States, and Mr.
Sol. White another out-and-out Annex-
ationiSt. Se much for that. . The Dr.
then, goes on to say, " I shall give facts
why 'Canada should not pursue her
own destiny independent of the coercion
—unmanly. and dishonorable action of
the -United States." Now 1 have read
over his article very carefully and I
fail to find a single fad which he has
adduced to •prove that - Canada should
not uni.te with the United States.
True, -lie has Written a lot about what
a good thing it was that the Reform-
ers did not get into .powerhist time,
but 1 fail to see what it. hs to do with
Annexation. Furthermore I . would
ask him to name a single instance
where the peopleef the United States
have pursued a dishonorable or unman-
ly course towards the' people of Can-
ada or 'to name # ,single retaliatory
meashrepassed by the Congress of the
United States, which was not provoked
by the petty acts of our own Govern-
ment. Again h says, " Every loyal
Canadian rejoices that. the last election
has 'dashed this horror aside, and the
nation refused to accept the degraded
position desired by Como." '
Now granted for the sake of argu-
ment that Annexation is a horror, a
midnight darkness, etc. How in the
name of common sense has' it been
clashed aside ? He says, it was Reci-
procity that was going to' cause •it.
How could the obtaining of Reciproc-
ity by the Reformers be' any more
likely o eu5eAnnnation than if the
Conservatives had got it. The Con-
servatives wanted Recipeacity, or else
they lied about it, and enacted the

most ridiculou5 farce ever known in
sending a commission to Washingtois
to sue for it. No man in his sense&
would say that if the Reformers got
Reciprocity for the country it wealth
lead to- Annexation and ever thin
Conservatives got the very same thing:- • .
it would consolidate the Einpine. andi
lead to everything lovely and grarell
Then what is the use of the Dr. giving
us such bosh.
He then waxes PI °pence and says-,
" Th tnk God, sir, that we are eot
ashamed of • being loyalist and royal-
ists." Now every advocate of Annex-
ation can just as fluently say hat they
are not ashamed of being loyalists;but
I for one would be vett, much ashamed,
'to be a royalist. There is no institu-
tion that the world has ever seen which
has exercised such a demoralizing and
degrading effect Upon the nations.
which maintains it as royalty. Where -
you find one court exercising a bene-
ficial effect upon Inc morals of the.
people ypu find ten that have the very
opposite effect. The lives of our he -
loved and hondred Queen and her lens-
ented consort have largly instrumental
in giving England the high moral posi-

The rest •of the article is 'simply au

said before, has nothing to do with the
