COUNTY CONVENTION,
Sabbath School Workers and Christian En-
deavorers is Session.
Tuesday morning of ibis week the an.
nual County Sabbath Sohool Convention
assembled in the Methodist church, Sea -
forth with a good attendance, Rev. J S.
Henderson, of Hensall, in the chair,
The devotional exercises were oou lei t.
ed by Rev, A. L, Russell, B. A., of Sea
forth, after whioh the topic, "How eau I
get the most out of this Convention 5 "
was introduced by J. H. Million, of Gotha
rich. The gist of bis remarks was :—
Make preparation before Doming ; by
prayer ; by note book ; by asking ques-
tions at Convention. Nominating Com-
mittee was appointed as follows :—Dr.
Towler, Rev. Mr. Henderson, Mr. Mo
Clinton, Mies Washington • and Mr.
Million. Resolution Committee Messrs,
Hicks, Myers and Mrs. MoDowell.
Rev. Mr. Sewers, of Bruoelelta was not
present and his topic, '"Irreverence,
its pause and ours" was taken up by the
Convention. It was thought to be an epi•
demic ; that the home is often the cause ;
public Sohool teachers have much to do
with the cure as have the parents ; min.
ieter's aeneational remarks in the pulpit
18 often a pause of irreverent seed sowing.
"How to make reviews interesting" was
the knotty problem Dr. Towler, of Wing -
ham dealt with. Review Sunday was
often vacation Sunday ; should take up
what has been already taught ; no nae
should take review consecutively ; Super-
intendent should make out the program
2 or 3 weeks ahead ; reviews ehould be
advertised and announced from the pul-
pit ; should not be used to show off
speaker ; let nothing interfere with re.
view, put it off for nothing ; get variety
in musio and persons use chart,
pictures, blackboard, have pictures drawn
on paper eaob Sunday and preserve for
review. Let ns make-up our minds that
we get nothing good without a great deal
of work being put on it.
The morning session was concluded
after Dr. Towler's interesting address.
THE AJTERN00N SESSION
attracted a Large audience, Rev. P. Alma
grave
l a -
grave conducting the opening exeroisee.
"Our Aesooiation and its relations"
was assigned to Israel Taylor, the former
minute Secretary, now of Brampton.
He was not present.
Next oame a splendid address on
"Graded Sabbath school work and its
advantages," by Rev. W. G. Hanna, B.
D., of Mount Forest. The topic was very
luoidiy dealt with and a large fund of
valuable information given along the line
suggested. The advantages of grading
were summarized as follows :—(1) It
brings the work into harmony with peda-
gogical principles in the public eohools ;
(2) Thoughtful teachers strive to obtain
some plan along this line ; (3) It prevents
pupils getting where they should not get;
(4) It enables the Superintendent to
place teachers with classes for which
they are best adapted ; (5) It gives mile
an incentive to advance ; (6) Ib affords
one solation for the great question—How
Dan we keep the adults in the school : (7)
It makes our teaohing more systematic
and orderly ; (8) It tends to nurture
Bible students and qualify them for
future work.
"How long should the teaober remain
with the same glass ? " was introduced
by W. H. Kerr, who thought their re.
talions should be as long oontinued as
possible where good work is being done.
Rev. S. J. Allen, of Goderiob, introduo.
ed the subjeot "The S. S. in the home
circle." A Godless home is one of the
sad institutions of to•day. The inviron.
ment of the home has so much to do•with
the success of our work and we see the
necessity of training the parent and bo.
coming acquainted with the home life of
the pupil. The work done in the home
is the most permanent and many are the
illustrations of this seen in the world.
One of the best aids to home training is
the Home Department of the S. S. and
it ehould be tried. The S. S. ehould de-
mand from the home aympathebio, en.
thusiastio interest. We should use the
printing press and send a quarterly re.
port from the eohool to the home. The
lesson should be studied at home. Fa
nanoialanpport should be acoorded by
the parents. A visit to non interested
homes and help given along the teaching
of the Truth will do good. It was a fine
address and well preesnted.
Mr. Yellowlees, B.oting Provinoial
Seoretary, took obarge of a Conference
whioh was most interesting and instrua.
tive. The following are the questions
and answers ;—What is the teacher's
duty to absent pupils ? Answer—
Visit them, write to then, recognize
them, see the parents. Which is the
better asking questions or lectnring to
the class 5 The questioning method.

THE EVENING SESSION
opened with a song eervioe, after whioh
the program was proceeded with. Greet.
hags were received from Mr. Taylor, of
Berlin, late Minute Seoretary of Huron
Co. Sabbath School Convention. The
Seoretary was instructed to reply. "Only
a been of sunshine" was sung and Rev.
S. J. Allis offered prayer.
"The Sabbath School Teacher" was
the important subjecb upon which Rev.
R. Whiting, of Mitchell, based a most
practical address. Any person engaging
in the 5, S. work should be converted and
called by God to be a teacher. Oar ideal
should be high. Our work is bo bring
people to a knowledge of the Saviour.
The teacher should (1) Know his mat.
erial ; answer children's questions ; don't
repress their wonderment. (2) Know
your Book ; teach ib ; love it. Get ready
to be a teacher. Go through courses of
training. It was an enthusiastic and
inspiring address.
"Throw ant the life line" wee sung.
Rev. W. G. Hanna was tbe' ether
speaker for the evening, his subject being.
"Christ the Model Teacher." He had a
mission and a commission, Seeking and
saving is our business. We are not
responsible for conversion but we are for
contact. We should feel it aa an absorb-
ing impulse. The Lord loved to teach,
so must we. He taught the Word of
God, it was His text book. The matter
of our teaching is not the lesson help, but
the Bible ehould be in our hand. Make
it our own. Christ did not begin his
motive work until 30 years of age, the
former years being spent in preparation.
The S. S. should feed neon the Word.
He made himself acquainted with the
persons, their habits and customs, with
whom be bad to deal, so should the
teaober. The inauguration of His min.
istry was with the holy anointing. We
need divine dirsotion and the anointing
of the Holy Spirit. He prayed oontin•
linty. Christ was free from officialism ;
was simple in His style ; adapted Hfe
teaching to his bearers; taught by the
law of association ; Ie repeated the
Truth with variety ; He employed
abundant illustration ; He taught by
question ; He always applied the Truth.
His personal oharaoberistioe we should
imitate, 1st, Love for our audience and
strong sympathy ; great teudernese and
patience; holiness of life. and, Teach
Christby the Word on Sabbath andiby liv-
iug pereouality. He gave us a faultless
example. Mr. Hanna's address was close•
ly followed and ehould be a fruit bearer.
After announcements for Wednesday's
session the meeting was brought to a
oonolusion by singing "Rescue the Per-
ishing."

CONVENTION PICS urs. — Rev. J. S.
Henderson. of Hensall, is a host in him-
self. If other pastors in the County

many.—Seaforth people are "All right"
as hosts.—Mr. Yellowleea visit to the
Convention was enjoyed.—There is room
for revival of Junior Societies in Huron

to every 1 gentleman delegate present.—
A. T. Cooper, the Provinoial Secretary,
is a hustler and is already drumming
people up for the Provincial Convention
ab Guelph next October.—Note books
were very much in evidence.—Conferences
take better than set topics and do more
good.—Rev. Mr. Hanna, B. D., of Mount
Forest, a former Morris township boy,
is no discredit to his old home. Hie
addresses were exoellenb,—Dr. Towler
will make an efficient President of the S. S.
Association.—A complete change of o ffi-
cers took place this year in commotion
with the Co. Endeavor.—Huron lost two
good workers when Israel Taylor and W.
