Anniversary Services.
The congregation of the Ontaria
St. Mach are to be sincerely con-
gratulated upon the success of last
Sunday's services. The selection of
the -preacher for the occasion gave the
opportunity of listening to thoughtful
and impressive sermons by one of the
foremost edecationalists of the Pro.

core he utters hf's message. He se -
;feted old time topics and in doing so
ineidontally reinarked about the great
change tLat in a few years had taken
place in the g.ltlerni contents of ser.
mons. In the mornings his suLjOeet
was 'The General Judgment,' and
in the evening 'The Hereafter', and
upon these topics he spoke clearly
and convincingly. On both occasious
-there were large congreg Woos, and
on 'everylside there were substantial
evidences that this church is making
.good progress,
In the afternoon there was an op-
en session of the Sunday School,
svnere addresses were given by Rev
Dr Austin and Messrs Tiplady and
Manning. The Rev Dr's remarks to
the pareuts and teachers were timely
and encouraging. The children
sang verynicely and an .erjoyable
time was spent..
On Monday evening Dr Austin
lectured to a good audieuce on the
object 'Only a Woman.' The chair
omas admirably filled by Rev Mr
Stewart,who iu opening, compliment-
ed the congregation upon its depar-
ture from the usual tea meeting in
order to raise funds. He humorous-
ly alluded ta the good feeling exist-
ing between the congregation over
tvhich he presides and that of Ontario
St., and expreesed the hope that all
the churches in the town would con-
tinue to be on the same friendly terms
as now existed. Dr Austin's lecture
was a very interesting and instruc-
tive one, abounding in good common
sense advice and spiced with many
first clws anecdote's.
The choir, under Mr Kay's leader-
' ship, rendered excellent service at
alt the meetings and were universally
praised for the selections made and
their rendition. The proceeds
. amounted to $109-- more than the
KIM asked for.

.. THE MCGIBENY FAMILY -The
McGibeny Family, who give one of
their musical Entertainments here on
the evening of Oct. 23rd, was in To-
ronto on Wednesday night last, and
the following from the Mail 'shows
bow they were appreciated: -
The McGibeny family opened a
three nights' engagement in Associa-
tion hall last evening, under auspices
that paid a high tribute to the reput-
ation they have sustaind during the
last eleven years all over the Contin.
ent of America. It is safe to say that
the hall since its opening was never
so crowded, it being estimated that
over fifteen hundred were present.
The appearance of the family is un •
ique in the history of musical enter-
tainments in Toronto, the father and
mother being ably and cleverly sup-
ported by thirteen of their children.
The applause and enceires given
throughout the evening must -have
convinced them that the audience ap-
preciated their music. The pro-
gramme was et a taking and poputer
character.

BRIEFS. -Mr E G. Courtice at-
tended a shooting match in London,
on Wednesday last. The Calbick
farm VMS sold, on Tuesday last, by
auction, Wm. Murch being the pur-
chaser; the sum realized was $2000;
this is' geoerally considered a cheap
figure. Rev F. Nugent, of Listowel,
paid Rev J. S. Fisher a flying visit,'
one day last week. Mr C. Williams,
of the Maitland, has been laid up for
several days. Mr C. William's or-
chard produces apples between one ,
ond two feet in circumference, and
Mr T. C. Pickard grows mangolds
weighing between 20 and 30 lbs. The
roots in this locality are generally of
a supersor quality. The funeral ser-
mon of the late II. Ford was preach-
ed in St. John's church, on Sabbath

tioned and showed a fair knowledge
of the branches they were required to
know. A large number of visitors
were present and all seemed pleased
at the state of the school and the pro-
gress which it seemed to be making.
As this is Mr Baker's first year in
the school he has undoubtedly worked
hard to bring it into the present
state, and he has proved himself a
thorotigh and painstaking teacher.

Mr Einbury then introduced the die-

Discipline dealing more particularly
with the requisite (jualitications of it
succeesful teacher. He said that such
a teacher should possess tact in the
n.flofali*teent of not only the school as
a whole but in order to deal with in-
dividual pupils, for all pupils did not
require the application of the same
principles of discipline. A properly
qualified teacher should also be a per-
son of culture, Ilan.° a large amount of
sympathy and needed constant prepar-
ation,

hI idly with the organi-
zation and order of schools. He held
that in rural mixed schools more dif-
fipulties presented themselves than
could possibly appear in graded schools
in cities and towns, but by a judicious
application of the principals laniddown
by the previous speakers these difficul-
ties could be overcome. The time of
adjournment having arrived, the discus-
sion on this subject was closed.
Inspector' Tom then addresssed the
teachers for a few moments urging up-
on them the necessity of making their
half -yearly returns promptly as the
law authorized him to deprive any
school of its grant should the half•yeraly
report be delayed beyond 15 days from

On motion of H. I. Strang, 13. A.,sec-

ation adjourned to meet at cell of the
xectiti ve.
Lenses has to leave early in the morn-
ing, it is deemed advisable to allow
the whole afternoon for the discussion
of his subjects. This -Was agreed to,and
the Dr then took up the subject of
Psychology,and its relation to teaching,
dealing particularly with the raw mater-
iels of intellectual development under
three headings viz.- sensation, interest
and impulse, showing that these hi
their order form the bases of intellect,
emotion and well. The lecture which
was conducted in the couversational ,
style, was full of terse and pointectee-e-
marks, and was highly appreciated by
the teachers,
The President then gave his address
on "the teacher as a public servant."
The address wits carefully prepared
and dealt chiefly with the following
statements, viz:
1st. -The teacher is it more efficient
officer than any other public servant.
end.-Hts work is important as the
life of a nation depends upon its intel-
ligence, as obedieuee to laws is carefully
inculcated.
:'d.—The teachers' tenure of 'office,
especially in rural districts, is too inse-
cure, and the present law regarding
superannuations very unsatisfactory.
The address was listened to very at-
tentively and well received.
Dr McLellan then took up phonic
reading. This subject proved very in-
structive, and was very fully discussed,
all the teachers being very anxious to
pursue the best methods of getting the
young pupils to recognise in the quick-
est time sound signs. This being re-
cognized as one of the most difficult
things in school work, considerable
cross -firing was indulged in, and no
doubt mum good,,will result from the
discusion.
The evening session of the Institute
was held in the opera house. Dr Mc-
Lellan delivered a lecture on "English
Literature and its value in education."
Among the many grand and inspiring
thoughts that the Dr gave expression to
we have only space to mention it few.
Literature was defined as a perfect
expression of of a perfect human mind,
and that the English literature was
the gradest literature of the grandest
people in the world. That no educa-
tion was worthy of the name that did
not cultivate thesympathetic part of
man as well as the intellectual. That
we are living in a fast age when there
seemed to be too much of a tendency to
read trashy and sensational novels, in.
stead of cultivating a closer acquain-
tance with suph immortals as Milton,
