The report was adopted as read. attendanoe, but at the afternoon meeting there was a decided Improvement and one of the moat interesting minions in the history of the association. President J, E.

T.17 , urging octave en. operation in support of Mr. Biokerdike's anti-olgarette bill, and a 000demnation of the attempt to sobotitube therefor one based on age limit. This wag referred to the Resolution committee, and then a disouesion was started by complaints from several delegates that notion and programs of the oonvention had not been properly dietriboted. Several omen were oibed where no notice at all had been re• oeived only a few days ago, and the o41- oial programa were only to day heeded out. In the absence of the seoretariee the matter was laid over. The following oommitteee were ap- pointed :'.On Resolutions—James Mit. obeli, Goderiab ; Dr. Towler, Wingbam ; John Dnetow, Nile; Mies Taylor, Blyth ; Mies Morris, Goderioh, Business nom mittee—Mr. Elder, Blyth; Rev.

With printed charts to out. line his ideas be taught that normal teaching menus rule or right tesohing. The aim of el. 8. work 10 to bring Mild to know ":The Book," and then its author God. In order to do this it to of first im- portanne to (1) know God, (2) know the child, (8) know the Book. Some teaohere- know the Book well and know God, bat don't know the child, and time fail ; whilst others know the Mild, but not "the Book." Bat to have effectual teach. ing they mast know both, In respeot to "The Book" we should teaoh its straoture, booke, writers, geography, Watery, doe - Wen. In the matter of the child, body, mind and soul most all be considered. Ia the past we bate taught as though the latter was the only thing to be con- sidered. Two points touched by Mr, Jackson whiob brought out diaousoion and a difference of opinion were : 1. Wbiob qualification in a teacher is of more importance—a knowledge of the book ora knowledge of the obild nature? hie report as treasurer, showing ° balanoe' leged disorepenoies or errors in the Bible, on hand of 93 17.

Munro, of Auburn. Tbiepaper, asomewhat lengthy one, met with the highest commendations from aeveral of the audience. Any short Flummery would not do it justioe, and atter a diseussioo ` of the best means of enuring its publioation, the Resolution oommittee was asked to consider ways' and means to that sod. Some of the delegates wondered bow the average teaober would get time for so elaborate a plan of study as that outlined by Mr. Munro, and were informed that be found 2 or 2e hours on Sunday and 15 001001ee it day through the week ample time for so thorough a study of the next Sunday's lesson.

There were selected at random from a list of 25 dietribnbed by M. Jaokeoo, and the discussion thereon was lively and interesting. Among the gne0tione disowned were : (1) Sunday Schoollibrariee, The idea was brougbt out that sohooie should have libraries bearing on the work of the Sunday sebool such ae oommentariee, Normal courses, Soo., and dependence an other sonnies, as mink) libraries, for other reading. (2) How can on induce the sd ieters to study their lessons before coming to the class ? Some methods anggeeted were, keep a week a head, and the Sunday before (a) give something that will interest and ranee the lesson to be looked up ; (b) using the eloripture readings or lessons in the reading at family worship, and have them read to the daily readings in the Pablia eobool.
