The sessions of the institute for Bible study which wore held in the Baptist,. 712othodist and Presbyterian ohurobee, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, No- vember 27, 28, and 29, respectively, were riot largely attended, If there wore no , soul in man, and lie God in theuniverse, the interest manifested could riot have been tw much less. Surely it is not indicative of a lack of interest in Bible Study ? However, those who were in attendance have strong acct decided convictions of the many advantages derived from the series of lessons taught. The Bev. John Mo1wen, Normal Secretary' of the Ontario Sabbath School A.ssooiation, was the teacher of these Normal Classes. Re is a man of large and varied experience in Sabbath School work, and thoroughly qualified to instruct in methods of Bible study, and Bible teaching. Ms methods ds of teaohinghen g h characterized Jesus, the ,,,) those s wl is Great Teacher, and which caused the people are p p t0 ay, "He t00.0heth with authority and not as the Scribes." The illustration of the fir is truth r t st presented, to interest the mind, stir the heart and convict the con- soienue, and then the troth is applied to move the will to accept or reject the truth. These steps, said he, are the conditions of spiritual life, and the limits of the teacher's ',owes and responsibility. The duties of a Sa th E ohool teacher are so important, that h training t e work iso x g f r o h the first prerequisite to efficiency in the work. The teacher required to have a hotter knowledge of himself, bis limiltations, powers and possibilities; a larger grasp of the Book he teaches, a better knowledge of human nature, a fuller and clearer appreciation of the conditions f spiritual life, and better methods' of wor'ng in the time at his dis- posal. The value and ortance of young life was the subject of t. second lesson before the institute. The front line of progress in the Providence of God is the little child, was affirmed and demonstrated by an , appeal to the facts of sacred history. And to the literature, art and the drama, of the present day. The possibility and fact of child conversion was dwelt upon at some length. The importance of recognizing this fact and providing for it in church work was also duly emphasized and illus- trated by the Saviour's commission to Peter : "Feed my Lambs." "Feed them, and don't cheek(' them with big words," was asuggestion worthy of remembrance. by pastors as well as Sabbath School teachers.. In connection with this lesson, the peculiar characteristics of the present day were graphically described, as being an age of intense m&ntal"activity; a love of novelty in business,, in amusements, in church life and everywhere. The. question of utility was on every tongue, "Of what use is it?" "is it profitable?" "will it pay?" determines the course of action to be persued. If there is no money in it, there is no interest, no enthusiasm, and no success. Bible biography, how to study and how to teach it, furnished material for the third session of the institute. This lesson was a most concise, clear and definite outline of the Diving method of revealing truth to men as they were prepared to receive it and use it. This lesson revealed an asoend- ing scale of progress and light from Adam to Jesus. The four thousand years between these two personages, wore divided into five•hundred year periods and the promi- nent characters of each of these eras was made to stand forth in bold relief. The distinctive peculiarities of eaoh of these individuals was also reproduced, all of whose combined excellences find their fulfilment in Jesus, the perfect man. THE W ING1T .M TIMES, DECEMBER R 6, I 9i1 Lesson rive was entitled Jest's, the ideal teacher, and Jesus the teaeher's ideal, Sabbath School teachers and Bible stadonte who missed, this, lesson, lost the chance of a life time, while those who were fortunate enough to he present must of necessity be- come more proficient teaohers and devoted Bible students. A bare outline of this lesson is all we have space for at the present time, and although we could re- produce all that was said, we would come far short of, presenting the power and spirit of the teacher, The teacher (.esus) was represented as the only ideal for the Sabbath School teacher to follow, 'alis growth in body, in mind, in knowledge, in oxperienee, and in wisdom. His equip- ment, endowpment, opportunities and oharao- ter, were all fully dwelt upon and their, importance illustrated and enforced, espeoi- ally the character of he teacher whie m is the great element of the influence and power. A birds -eye view of the Life of Christ, furnished the elosipg lesson of the series, and was in many particulars the most in- terosting and profitable which occupied the time of the institute. Tho attendance at this session was the largest of any, and may regretted that it was their last op- portunity, A.large chart was used in the teachingof this lesson, similar to the one used in ivng the bird's-eye view of the Bible, variously colored bands running horizontally across the chart, showed the different places visited. by Christ during his life time, while perpendicular lines gave the divisions of His ministry and His juurneyings from one place to another. This chart must be seen and the key to it placed in the hands of the teacher, and the various wards enlooked, to get any clear conception of its value and importance to an audience, a class, or an individual. • An unanimous and hearty' vote of thanks was tendered Mr. MoEwen for his able, instructive and inspiring lessons. It in to bo hoped, should Mr. MuEwon ever again visit, Wingham in the interest of Sabbath School work and workers, that a very much larger audience will greet him, and receive the benefits to be derived from such n course of studies under so distinguished a teacher.• ' BLYTH. A very sad fatality happened about 5 a- m. on Saturday in which an old lady named Mrs. McCallum, aged 92 years, was burned to death. It is supposed that the old lady, who lived alone, had on going to bed put on a big fire, which during the night, either 'by defect in the. • chim- ney or some other cause, set., fire to the house. Her son, whose house is within a few yards of hers, called on her about nine o'clock, and :at that hour she bad a very big fire, and he cautioned her not to ii;enp such a big fire on. She was then preparing to retire for the night. He , awoke about five next morning and saw that her house was on fire; ?hut noth- ing could be done to save her. The house was burned to the, ground. When.the • ruins were searched the charred body -of the old lady was found. A. birds eye view of the books of the Bible, by the aid of a largo chart, occupied the time of the fourth meeting of the institute. By the aid of this chart a full view of all the books of the Old and New Testaments Were given at a glance,.' repro- ducing their structure, grand divisions,• minor divisions, groups of writings, scope of the books and of classes of. books, the relations of parts, dates, authors, and principal subjects. These *natters were so spread tefore the eye that they could be seized at a glance. Bach book was repro- sented as a little scroll, fully unrolled. These scrolls were placed in the order in which they stand in our English Bible. 13y means of colors and columns the seven great groups of books were shown, The five books of the Law wore placed in a column, and marked out to the eye by a • distinctive color. The second column contained the twelve, Historical books, also distinguished by their color. The five books of Poetry occupied the third column. The seventeen Prophetical writings fill two columns, the major prophets in One ' and the minor in the other. The Uistori• cal books of the New Testament are shown in the sante color as the Historical books of the Old. The twenty-one epistles were distinguished by a peculiars color, the Pauline its one column and the General in 'another. It vias thus, that by the means Of the chart the Seriptures were presented a nutshell, and a larger and mare court prehensive grasp et the book abtaitied. BLUEVALE. • Rev.

A friend advised me to take Hood's Sarsaparilla and I began to use it, together with Hood's Pills. I have real- ized mere benefit from these medicines than from anything else Mayo ever taken.
