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. What are some of the oommou errors made by S. S. teachers ? Preaching ; reading insbruotion off lesson helps ; don't prepare the lesson ; belling stories instead of teaching. What is the best way to maintain order in the class ? Giting sobolars something to do ; win their love and respect ; Mayo sympathy ; be interested in thein. Is it ever per. missibi scold e t o s o d or threaten? Disoip- line must be maintained but the loss scolding the better. How oan the bomber secure home study ? Teacher give questions to take home for answer next Sabbath ; read the Saripturo for daily readings. How often should the teacher present the claims of Christ the Saviour,? As often as possible. To what extent is it wise for the teacher to do personal spiritual work in the class ? It should be the supreme object of every Weather : the work should be done in. dividually, What are the tesohee's week day duties to his pupils f Know your pupils when yon meet them ; pray for them ; be familiar with them ou week days ; invite them to your home. The President reported for the Nom- inating Committee as follows ;—Pros., Dr. Towler ; Vice Pres., Rev. J. S. Henderson and J. P. Rose 1 Minute Soo'y and Treae„ J. 0.

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." THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR DEDARTIENT of the Convention opeued Wednesday morning at 8.80 with a Quiet Hour. Rev. Mr. Henderson took the leadership, direotinghis remarks to St. John, llth chapter. The thoughts suggested were : (1) The Master has Dome ; (2) A personal message ; (3) Mary's willing response. It was a profitable service. Rev. F. H. Larkin, of Seaforth, took the leadership of the devotional exer- afses. In the absentia of the President, Dr. Ferguson, the chair was taken by Rev. Mr. Henderson, A nominating Committee of Masan.
