S. S. Convention.
The Methodist -Sabbath School emven-
tion of the Exeter District was held in the
Centralia Church an Tirura$tg best. Rev.
B. Clement presided. Meld. E. Huston was
appointed Sec'y and Treasurer. Though
the day was stormy, yet there was a large
gathering of delegates from the different
part of the district: --Parkhill,, Grand Bend,
Crediton, Elimville,Birr, Exeter, and Ceti.
tralia eircuits were welt represented, Tho
delegates from the difforentpoints reported
steady and continued progress in the Sab.
bath School work. The meeting was full
of interest from the beginning, Air,
Wm. Stevens gave an interesting address
on "How may Sabbath Schools be best sup.
plied with nu Efficient and Regular Staff
of Teachers.” He emphasized the import-
ance of having ohristian men and women
as teachers in our Sabbath Schools. Mr.
Seel Martin of Elimville; read a very in-
structive paper on "Use and abuse of lesson
Helps." He showed how "Helps" were
useful to the teacher in the preparation of
his work for his class; but such helps
should not bo used as we use a catechiser.
Rev. Jasper Wilson, 13. A., next arranged
the delegates into a'Bibie Class." -Lesson:
''The Temptation of Jesus" ,.t ecially dwell-
ing on the truths found in the Golden Text
"In that He Himself bath suffered being,
tempted He is able to succor them that are
tempted." During the lesson many ques-
tions were asked among which was this:
"Was it possible for Jesus to have yielded
to this temptation" On account of the
limited time, Mr. Wilson did not enter
into this discussion. At the close of the
lesson however, Rev. B. Clement offered
as leis opinion that Jesus could not have
fallen. Mr. J. Parsons held that Jesus
could have fallen. Directly on Mr. Par-
sons resuming his seat a great i number of
both the Iaity and clery were on their feet
to put the afuresaid gentleman rightontheir
theology, but time beiug called Mrs. Jas.
Elliott read an; excellent paper on "Music
in the Sunday School" whioh received
kindly mention from .several of the dole•
gates, In the discussion of this paper, the
majority favored using the Canadian
Hymnal as the music book for the Sunday
schools, Rev. P. W. Jones, Grand Bend,
proceeded to discuss "clow to promote a
higher spirituality in our schools" and had
got fairly well into his subject when the
bell rang for time. Mr. Jones' address
was earuestty delivered and full of interest.
"How to interest young men and women
in bible class work" was the next paper
read by MIr, J. 0. Stoneman of Hensall.
He proceeded to show that it 'vas not wise
for the teacher to spend too much time in
teaching Geography, as the object of the
teacher should be to lead the scholars to
Christ and not to Jerusalem. Rev. D. M.
Kennedy of Birr, read a very able paper on
"Sabbath. School Conventions" after which
ihich
it resolution in accordance with the same
was unanimously passed -
In the evening Bev. J. W. Ford, L,L.B.
of Parkhill delivered the address of the
Convention on the "Reflex Influence of
Sabbath School Teaching," an address
which was full of power and pathos, show
ing that th
e influence would flow back on
the teacher with increased power. The
question Drawer was ably handled by Rev
G. H.hompson, aud Rev. R. Redmond.
Rev- .Mr. Wilson then introduced the last
subject on the program, "Sabbath School
Literature." This subject hadbeou allotted
