"Ohrletiao Stewardship" was the theme of Rev. Mr, Hussar, of Fordwiab, and ae be has had this work under his charge daring the pant year he wait well prepared to deal with ate various ?bailee and from a very praotioal standpoint. Mr. Hasner had preaohed at various pointe in the Dietriot on the eubjeot and stated that at least 40 persona bed allied themselves with the Sooiety of Ohristiao Btewarde and he hoped otbere would eu• roll their names on the application oardo he would distribute. A eubjeot of very vital interest woe presented by Mre. (Rev.) Ooeens, of Braeeele, in a well prepared paper, "Oar Junior League Work."

Many wore anxious to join in the diecneeion, show - Ing that the question wee one of deep .olioltnde. The urgency of pastors and Obrietlan people getting in tonoh with the youth wise emphasized. A Board Table Conference on knotty pointe in League work was on the pro• gram but was dropped owing to the want of time. The afteroon eeeeion was one of profit and the many delegates should have helpful pointere to parry home to pnl into practice, A large and interested audience filled the ahareh in the evening. The ohnrah choir gave a obeering and well balance aerviae of song before Rev. Mr.Oelerboat, of Wroxeter, annoaooed the opening hymn for the devotional examine. Retiring President introduced the Presi.. dent eleot with words of commendation and appreoiation to which Mr. Kerr re. plied in enitable terms asking the help of every Leaguer in a grand rally for an advance movement in tbie year.

Raley and wife had been prep. ant the nap sheaf would have been pat on the Oonvention. Every League ehoold increase its number of eabeoribers to the Epworth Era. It is invaluable. Aboat $24 was was received from the Leagues toward Diotriot expenses. Sev- eral everal Leagnee have not reported yet. Few Districts have a more genial Hon. President than Wingham. He'e level headed and alwaye ready to lend a hand. Every appointment on every eirontt should have a League and wonld have if the paetore and young people would beetle.
