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 an,1 E. Urown.

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. , W. A. HACKETT, Seo'y. 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 6 • , WHOLE NO. RGIT, 411•••...11, 1 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- • tion -she now _occupiest But life - life work threatens to he undone by, the scape-grace who is heir apparent to - the throne of England.
