Ninth Annual Convention of Brussels District
S. S. Association.
Tuesday of this week the ninth annual
meeting of Brussels Sabbath Sohool
Association weft convened in 1Vfelvillo
ohuroh, 13. Gerry, President, in the
chair. The opening hymn was "Dome,
let no join our cheerful songs, &o.,' and
Rev. Jno. Rose, B. A., led in prayer.
A few words of welcome were spoken
by the President and the session was set
fully agoing with a good attendance.
"Tho aim of the Sabbath Sohool," was
the first topic) introduced by Robt, Mo.
Kay, of Ethel. He handled the subject
very practically. The aim should be (1)
Organization ; (2) Order ; (3) Thorough.
near ; (4) Variety; (5) Imprea0iveneae by
showing Christ as the example ; (6) Aim
at Love, as it is the winning power as
well as the restraining influence ; (7)
Aim at conversion as this should be the
aim of every S. S. worker. "All hail the
power of Jesus' name," was heartily sung.
"What may the teacher be as an ex•
ample to the olaes ?" was introduced by
Miss Botz, Teacher may be (1) An
Inspiration. Striving after something
better, having an ideal. Being an example
of all that' is pure and noble, and pointing
to the Good Master. (2) An Example.
The teacher must be consistent in life
and thereby set before his pupils example
of both preoept and practice. (3) An
example of Promptness ; (4) Kind and
courteous, with a friendly greeting for
pupils and other workers. .9. warm hand
olasp is a good way to reach the pupil's
heart. (5) Be Thorough. Scholars are
quick-witted and soon size up the teaoher,
Be familiar with the lesson and by all
means be a Christian in deed and in
troth. The paper was an excellent one.
"Work for the night is coming," waa
sung and the second part of the topio
"What may the teaoher be as to the
Discipline of the oleos ?" was allotted to
Mrs. N. M. Richardson. Ability to train
others depends on our adaptability to
training. Service is the mark and
measure of men. Must have love, pati-
ence and thoroughness. The little magio
word Love the solution and key note of
the work. This is the first and great
motive in dieoiplioing the class. Our heart
must be right. It must be cultivated.
Be a worthy example before the class by
living consistently and living in the
faith of those who are their pupils, as
character is being indellibly impressed.
Our classes must be moulded. We must
adapt ourselves to the surroundings and
life of our pupils. Not our place to break
the child's will but to govern and control
it. The inability to 000 the right is some-
times the cause of insubordination.
Make Truth attractive. Develop self
aotivity and thereby self-control. There
is enjoyment in personal effort to the
pupil. Draw out Oho pupils. Keep order
without•oaying anything about it. Give
them our best thought and our best
effort. Mrs. Richardson's paper was well
worth hearing. "What may the Teacher
be as an imparter of Knowledge ?" was
Mr. Cranston's theme whioh was cleverly
handled. The teacher is God's instru-
ment and we must look to Him for de-
velopment. Got the best books, the best
means, looking to our own and pupil's
edification. Look to God's Holy Spirit
to direot us in our choice of best influence.
Strong in life, oharaoter and spirit. We
must first receive before we oan give.
Christ is the fountain, Christ is the
foundation, no other means will suffice.
Don't starve our religious and intellec-
tual faculties but seek the best reading
so as to quicken our powers. Our Bible
study should not leek earnestness and
endeavor. We must have a working
knowledge of God's Word, to show sinto
Holy
man and reveal the
Ghost. Teach the history and geography
but don't forget that part of awakening
the heart. Use all means possible in the
study of the lesson. This will give life
to our thoughts and teachings. Review
gg g
the nratical points after lesson is taught
t
'n he mind of
pthereby impressing them on t n
nils. a must show a believe the
Truth and exhibit it as did the Saviour.
Don't get discouraged if results are not
what we desire. Truth's errand is a
successful one. Let God and His Truth
keep us alive. God is abroad on His
mission of recovery. Let us so set forth
the Truth that it will win. Show them
that God has a place for the pupils in
Hie plan. Let us meet with God in
secret and with Rig command go forth to
do the best work in our power for the
extension of Rio Kingdom. Rev. -Mr.
Cranston offered many thoughts that will
stand careful oonsideration and practice.
Mrs. A. W. Humphries, of Park Hill, a
well known primary' worker, taught next
Sabbath's lesson on "The twelve sent
forth," to a plass of little folk. By object
lesson, blackboard illustration, &o., she
made the lesson quite plain and easy.
The adults manifested no small interest
in the lesson.
Meyers. Oober, Gardiner, Cameron,
MoArthur and Strachan were appointed
a Nominating Committee after which the
profitable morning session wag concluded
by the Benediotion.
TEE AFTERNOON SESSION
Opened with singing "Nearer my God
to Thee,' and prayer by Mr. Oran'sten.
Report of Nominating Committee was
read and adopted, es follows :
President, P. Ritchie ;
Vice President, Robb. McKay ;
Sec. -Trees., W. H, Kerr ;
Direotoes, A. Gardiner, Wm. Cam.
non, Jas. Straohan, W. Hunter
and A. M. McKay.
Mr. Bitohio took the chair and spoke a
fow congratulatory words es to the and.
vicious manner in whioh the Convention
had opened ; the success of Sabbath
Sohool work wasreferred to and the pest
pointed out as an incentive for bettor
W
work in the Limo to come. e are here
to take conned end soak best means in
the promotion of the work in theDistrict,
Pre t1tanireil the audience for the honor
done him,
G, 1. Blair introduced the topic "How
may an oflioiont training of future work
ere be parried on in the S. S." The
question of efticienoyin teachers hats nob
made .the progrees it should and bettor
work would have been done had greeter
attention been given. Personal lime.- 1 -
the first requisite, Such as tact, example,
&c. As oonebituted offioient needing in
S. S. for teachers is next to impassible.
The young people most bo trained to ao-
quire and also impart knowledge. Teach.
ere often preach instead of teach. Some
ahem the plan of teething a lesson in
advance of the Sabbath to an adult elan
presumably to supply teachers. Methods
rather than facts would be necessarily
taught. A regularly trained religious
instructor for teachers and youth ifs an
essential and may be a probability.
There must bo volunteer service on the
part of those to be instructed. Let
pupils occasionally teach the class they
belong to in the presonoe of the teacher,
As this topic applies to officers, future
workers should have an opportunity of
acquainting themselves with the duties of
the office. Mr. Bleir'e topic was an im.
portant one.
.13. Gerry, Rev. J. Holmes, G. Eaaom
and W. H. Kerr took part in the discus-
sion. Among the points advanced were :
-The teachers meeting properly con-
ducted is a helper. A deeper sense of
responsibility for personal work. Nor-
mal classes aro valuable adjuncts. The
right use of helps available. Let pupils
write essays on S. S. lessons.
"How should the Bible be taught in the
S. S." was Rev, A. C: TiSOn's subject.
It is the Bible itself that is to be taught
and used, rather than the helps, some-
times used. Teachers should be convert.
ed to God and thoroughly consecrated to
the work. Intelligent workers are want.
ed, as piety is not all that is required.
We must be zealous in our labor with
those who are tender and easily moulded.
The Saviour sets us a most worthy
example along these lines. We should
teach devoutly andprayerfully, looking
to the Great Teacher for the preparation.
The spirit of reverence should mark our
teaching. Earnestness should be a lead.
ing characteristic of our effort. Make
the teaching interesting by illustration •,
by question and answer ; by personal
appeal ; intelligent as to a general know-
ledge or information, with specific and
definite understanding, give'the historical
and geographical setting but don't stop
with that but apply the spiritual truths ;
regularity and connected instruction re.
lacing to past lessons ; a brief yet definite
reviewing up of the lesson is essential.
Citizenship, Biography, Temperance,
Sabbath Observance, Titbing. the plan of
Salvation, &o., should be dealt with and
thereby perhaps find an antrance to the
hearts of those who are committed to our
care. A comprehensive view of the
Bible may be acquired by our oens0ant
and prayerful study. The Bible should
be used as a rule of conduct. It is God's
law book. Have an aim and prepare
with the view of aiding the pupil.
The topio was well presented and was
disousoed by Rev. Mr. Holmes, Mr. Blair,
Mr, Gerry, Mr. Grigg, Rev. Mr. Ross,
the President and Rev. R. Paul.
No subjoot on the program is of greater
importanoe than that introduced by Rev.
Mr. Oaten, of Belgrave, "What shall the
parent do with his children on Sabbath
afternoon 1" The responsibility of the
parent is tremendous. He should take
the children to Sabbath Sohool. Every
parent should constitute themselves a
'Look•ont Committee" and see that they
are at the S. S. The father who com-
mands the home is almost a forgotten
quantity. Parente must command their
households. The child must be control-
led on Monday as well es on Snuday.
See that the child is in S. S. and the
best way is for the father to attend the
bef re the c
eohool. Keen the lesson o hild
in the home during the week so that an
interest will be manifested in the Truth.
The best equipment for life should be the
aim of every parent. The principles of
righteousness should be instilled. What
about Sabbath observance and Sabbath
afternoon reading ?
Thos. Straohan, A. Gardiner, G. F.
Blair, Rev. Holmes and Rev. R. Paul,
joined in discussion of the subject, the
following points being elicited :-Not
natural to bo religions hence the S. S. is
designed to aid in this ino0ttuoOion.
Parente cannot afford to be careless in
the example they set before their children.
Everybody wants their children to grow
up religious but often do not interest
themselves in the good work. The re-
ponelbility should rest on both fattier and
mother. Children should be versed in
God's word. Parente should be
com-
panionable with their ohildren The
roper
olosiug of the Sabbath day is
a point that should tot be overlooked.
Boys and girls congregating together is
not always a good training school. Turn
the tea and toba000 money into the pun.
ohne of good literature and tingle. Very
few parents attend S. S. The Home
Department of the S. S. is made a great
blessing to the family. 4)5 of the people
should go to S. S. and the limit should
not have been reached until 70 years ere
attained. Horses too tired to draw the
family carriage to ohuroh.
Mrs. Humphries gave an address on
Primary S. S. Work. This work is lay-
lug
ay•ing the foundation of character in the
training of heart, head and feet. The
primary teacher is tate greatest faotor in
the moulding of character. Diligent
preparation implies (1) Earnest donation,
tion to the work ; (2)) Belief in early con-
version ; (8) Kuowlollge of the book we
teach. There are many doors to the
child mind such ae a ohalk talk, not
necessarily elaborate but representing to
the child mina agent deal of r lit
g>, oa y,
Children have ears as well ao eyes but
wo want to roach the heart eye. Have
faith in what we 000,011 and with a hoart
fall of love. Christ is the great Teacher
of ethics, Object lessons meet be used
with one s0 es to only be the manta to

After the collootion was taken Rev,
Helmets diomissed the congregation,
EVENING 0000000.
The church was well filled at the even.
Ing mooting when at 7.45 o'clock, Preei•
dent Ritchie announced the opening
h me, "Bringing in rho sheaves,' after
whiah Rev. 13. MoOrao of Oranbrook
offered prayer.
A tine anthem, "Crown Rim Lord of
All," wee reudored by the ohuroh choir.
The first speaker was Rev. Mr, Holmes,
pastor of Methodist ohuroh, Brussels,
whose subject was"The influence of the
S. S. in the formation of oharaoter."
After an introductory, explanatory of
what ohmmeter is, he developed the after
part of the topic ae to the part the Sala.
bath school plays in oltaraoter training.
The S. S. affords the golden opportunity
to mould character. Whyso much in.
difference on the part of thparent? The
atmosphere of the S. S. bears blessedly
on the formation of ohmmeter.The l3.
S. is still emphatic as to old truths, and
gives moral stamina. It is teaching the
Golden Rule, as well as Courage, Mag-
nanimity, the spirit of Honesty and
Integrity. The S. S. is oreeting noble
ideals. Personal example on the part of
the teacher is 0 great power for good.
The patient devotion of the teacher tells
for God. Reposed confidence in child•
hood is a winning factor. S. S. libraries
compare favourably with the best as do
our oonnexional papers, Have faith in
the ingraf bed Word. Cultivate in their
hearts a relish for salvation. The char-
acter of Christ needs to be constantly
kept before us. The address was worthy
of the close attention it received.
Anthem by the choir "Praise the Lord:'
Rev. Mr. Filer, of Walton, who kindly
took the place of Rev. Mr. Hardie, of
Listowel, who was unable to be present
owing to aooident, dealt with the theme,
"The S. S. and Sabbath Observance."
As we think of the S. S. and the great
movements in the world it would be dfffl•
cult for as to imagine that the Sohool
was not interested. The school is a door
of opportunity and we should use it in
inculcating principles that will be lasting.
That the Sabbath fs deseorated none will
deny and that this is a growing evil is
apparent. oanadianSabbaths are spoken
of the world over but there is digression
and the Chrietiao conscience is dulled.
No Sunday newspapers published in this
Dominion, but although not a calamity
howler or pessimist we need to look out.
Let us awake to plane our protestand
labors agoblet the encroachments on our
Christian liberties. As we see national
evils, entrenched behind laws, let us
assert ourselves and be vigilant in duty
doing. Sabbath desecration ie the des-
troyer of Christian privilege. It is the
foe to all good Government, as it would
thwart the principles of Jeans Christ.
The atheistic standard says the voice of
the people should be the foundation ; the
deist says while there may be a God we
are not to take Him but rather the law of
Nature as the Standard ; the Christian
standard pointe out the law of God as
the only rule to regulate our laws.
If we seoularize the Sabbath we are des-
troying so much of the foundation of our
national strnoture. It is aloe to personal
liberty. If we did not countenance and
patronize those things that secularize the
Sabbath we would do much in proving
that Christian influence and notion
amounts to more then Christian senti-
ment. Christian men and women must
right these wrongs. The S. S. will tell
in the settlement of these great questions.
This is so as the S. S. appears in
merry places to supplant rather than sup-
plement the instruction of the home.
Just as the boys and girls are instructed
in our S. S. so shall they be strong in
striving for the righteousness of law and
order.
Anthem, "Lift up your hearts," was
heartily reudored and after a couple of
announcements and a vote of thanks Mile
very suooessful couvention waa concluded
by Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Wroxeter, pro.
flouncing he Benediction.
