The afternoon session opened shortly after 1 o'clock With Rey. 11'fr. Jarrow in the ohalr in the absence of Rev. Air, Filer, his predecessor, who was the President. After the opening hymn Rev. G. J. Abet' offered prayer and the chair- man the proferred timely remarks along the line of showing the part eaoh one present had to take to make the sessions enjoyable and profitable to all concerned. 'We are the reapers" was sung and Councillor Gardiner was appointed dB. sial time keeper but his duties were not very onerous as the time table of the Oonvention was closely adhered to by the majority of those taking part. "The Influence of the Teacher outside the Claes Room," was the first topic and introduced by Mrs, A. Gardiner in the following well prepared paper :— Influence ie a subtle something that passes from one person to another. It is good or bad, not a000rding to the effort of the person from whom it goes, but accord• ing to what he or she really is. A bitter spring cannot send forth sweet water, nor a sweet epring bitter, so by no chance can the influence differ from the character of the person. The influence of the Teacher upon the scholar, both in and out of the class room, should be nothing but good. The teacher must heretofore himeelf be good. To know something of the kind of influence that should pass from Teacher to scholar let us first consider the purpose' for which the Sab. bath-.Sohool exists. Of course for the purpose of teaching fasts bearing on the religion of Jesus Christ. These are very various in kind. There are historical facto bearing on the origin and education of the human rase. It is well that our scholars should know that God is their Creator, because of the fast that being Creator He is also Governor, and this involves human responsibility for the -tee of the life God has given and of the powers and priviledges associated here- with. What is History but the manifest- ation of God in Providence. The histori- cal facts of the Old Testament converge upon, show the need of, or typiflug the Lord Jesus Christ. The New Testament is a record of His life, and an apostolic commentary hereupon. It is well then that the Teacher exert himself in order to make the facts of the Old and New Testaments luminous to his soholare. This is one purpose of the Sabbath school, but it is not the most important purpose. The chief purpose of the Sabbath school's existence is that the teachers may teaoh Christ him:elf. The fade taught whether historical, geographical,prophetical or of some other kind are only of advantage in so far as they tend to bring the scholars into contact with the Christ who lived in Palestine, who died upon the cross, and who lives eternally m the heavens, a Prince and a Savious, to give repentance and remission of sins. It is the teacher's business to make Christ live before hie or her scholars, to show what kind of person Christ is. This is not a thing that can be done in one hour per week, leaving OHO free to live as one pleases during all the other hours that go to make up life, Life isnot made up of isolated and nnre lated actions ; life is continuous, every action and every word takes he place in the related aeries, and the series form unity. If there be any action that is un. real the whole is unreal, and the scholar is quick to diecover the lank of reality in the teaoher. If the scholar discovers unreality in the teaoher he hi apt to sup pose that since e religion is said to be a matter of right living, the religion of Jesus which the teaoher, by the very fact that he or she is a teaoher professes to live, ie a farce and a sham. All the work of the Sabbath school teaoher cannot be done in the olase room. The chief part of it must always be done outside. The teacher's life should ever be a model for the scholar to copy. He will dopy it whether the model be good or bad, and the teacher who sate a bad example to his or her scholars incurs very grave re. sponsibilities, indeed he ie the scholar's representative of Jesus Christ and if Christ be misrepresented p ted by him God will certainly not hold him guiltless. It stands eternally true that "no man liveth onto himself" Much more ie this true when we think of the teaoher in his rela• tion to hie eoholar. It is necessary that the teacher's character should tell in the class room of course. He must :how fidelity in the preparation of the lesson ; must teach with Ohriet underlying all his teaching ; must show constant con- sideration for the mental and spiritual condition of each one in his class and must also manifest love in all his rela- tions with his scholars there. However teaching is nob so mush the storing of knowledge in the heads of the scholars. That teaoher does the most euofeseful work who best succeeds in getting schol- ars to not only know and live Christ, but to help others to know Him. We must eerie/lye: know Him and to got others to live Chriet•like lives our lives must be Christi -like: We do not know him until he is areal person to us, living near us, watching over ue, caving us from the sin. that so eaeily beset us, and having friends ly intercourse with us, that atimnlates and strengthens ue for whatever lies be. fore us in life, and our lives are notphrfet- like unities we are ceasing to be eelfieh, hard and cold, unless oar temper is becoming more mellow, our mind lege engroseed with the world and the energise of our life more and more devoted to the glory of God and the exaltation of Jesus. The scholar is the .teacher's disciple. If we think of the relation of Christ to Hie dieiples thie will throw light on the re lotion of the teacher to the soholar. The relation will be the same in everything wherein we may cony our Master.Of course, in so far as His aotiona are super. human we shall not be able to follow Him.. Christ as a human Teacher had an intimate knowledge of his sobolare. He wits often with them, often thinking of them, always meditating their goody and, jived before them. A mysterious power Went out from Him that made it easier for them be Jive above the low, selfish' plane en wielele they had been accustomed to live before they knew Him, It was this mysterious power, that made Peter fall before Him and say, "Depart from me for I sin sinful man, 0 Lord," Thiel mysterious power WAS the influence of a devoted holy life, A Teacher 01 a Sabbath school class has other things to do heeidee teaching, suchas knowing hie echelon individually as well ae collectively. The Teacher ahenld follow his Master's exam pie, and be should do all the other things in the spirit of Hie beaching, It ie the doing of these that gives unity and power to the Teacher's life, and makes it tell on the scholar. The Teaoher •then should aim at khowing eaoh of his scholars me intimately se possible and should, S think aim at visiting the scholars in their owe homes, and have the eoholars in turn visit the Teacher in his or her home. This would' give a knowledge of the sobolar that would greatly help the Teacher, and it would increase the Teacher's opportun• ity of influencing the scholar for good. In all the intercourse of the Teacher and scholar, the former should see toit that he does not make the Ohrietian religion appear to be a ourber of joy and bright- ness, he should not make it seem dark. nese but light and life and gladness and to make it appear glad, he must be glad, to make it appear light he must be light. Christ never forgot' to pray. for His die- ciples, nor must we Teachers forget to pray for our soholare. I doubt not much of the failure of S. S. teachers is failure to identify ourselves with our eeholare in praying for them daily, and with intenee longing for their salvation. Prayer for our sobolare wohld wonder. felly affect our work performed for their benefit, and it le impossible to pray truly for anybody without ourselves becoming better thereby. If we are personally be coming better, a better influence will necessarily and unconseiouely gooutfrom us wherever we are, and whatever we do. There is nothing that will so soften the whole of our nature as forgetting our selves in praying for others. This identi eying of Himself with His disciples, and pouring out petitions for them to His Heavenly Father, is the great and crown- ing glory of Jesus of Nazareth. The core of it all is Love. His life was centred in them, not in Himself. This is shown by His continual ooneern for their welfare. He was concerned for the welfare of the crowds that followed Him, temporal as well as spiritnal. He was concerned for the welfare of his enemies, much more for the welfare of those who recognized Him as their Teacher and who hung upon his every utterance, When the twelve were worn with excitement attendant up. on their manner of life, He shows his love by inviting them apart into a desert place to rest awhile. His concern was never for himself but for then;, when he had done everything else for them that Love could do, and was soon to die for them as the emissaries of the Sanhedrin approach. ed Him in the garden he was still con- cerned for his disciples. The hostile baud had fallen back, abashed at the pre -encs of the Holy One, when the great Teacher said, "If ye seek me let these go their way." He gave himself up entirely to the service of the disciples. He could always say "I came not b° do mine own will but the will of Rim that sent me." It was the will of Him by whom He was sent, that he should lose none of those committed unto Him. He Dame not to do what was pleasant or expedient but to do His Father's will and when the doing of it required eaorifices of the most pain ful kind. The sacrifices were requisite to the showing of His love, and this is ever the case. Love makes sacrifloes easy to persons in whose heart it abounds. The Great Teacher taught by His seori- fices as well well as by His words well could He sayHis to disciples, "Greater love bath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his Friends," He was laying down his life every day for Hie friends, and not only when His blood was shed on the oross. In these matters the life of Jesus is an example that Sabbath school teachers should seek to follow. We must be self saorificing if we would be successful. Ibis not possible to ac- complish much by going over the lessons from Sabbath to Sabbath in the classes merely, we must put ourselves to some trouble for the sake of our scholars. We must bear them in our heart, we must give ourselves to them. If so, they will know it, just as the scholars of Jesus knew without the least peradventure that he had given Himself up for them. In order to accomplish the purpose of teach• ing we must know Ohriet and loving Him, our knowledge must be that of experience. Not the knowledge that we can get from reading or from the statement of others, we must know him as our Saviour and our God, and we must love Him with our whole heart. Mr. Moody was a great and a successful teacher, became he had a big heart that was full of love, Christ was a light within him, and Christ shone through. If ws know Christ and love Him He will be a light in us, Christ will shine in and through tis, If Christ shines through us our scholars will see the light and they will glorify our Heavenly Father. If We love Christ our Lord then without taking thought we shall ever be adding to our spiritual stature. It is in loving that we grow, and as we live and grow, the light will become brighter and bright. er until the perfect. day. The influence that goes unoonecioualy from us will more powerfully affect our scholars for good, bemuse it is continuously cumu. Wive. Our life will be an object lesson to them at all times. It is not religioue theory that will do our acholara good, however true that theory may be. Religion is a matter of life, just as when a boy goes to learn a trade. Hie teacher does not say "Do this piece of work in this way" bit he does it before his oyes that he Mayhave an example to go by s0 we teachers n' teaching the religion of Jesus need not tdvethe theory merely; we must be the livingembodiment of what we teach. It is only what we live that ws truly teach, We need not strive for influence. It does not oome by striving bat by bring. It always corresponds with the true self.

They know whether our being is a pslaoe fair within or only a shabby structure with a pretentious elevation. They estimate the mass and might of our character with curious accursoy and it is this alone that really tells." A man maystrive for influence and mise it but let him grow within himself, in self-control, in conscientiousness, ht purity and submission, and then he will not miss it. Every step of onward progress esaices ue work more to the world and to every cause with which we may be identified. The road to influence is simply the highway of duty and loyalty. Let a man press nearer to Christ, and open his nature more widely to admit the energy of Christ, and whether he knows it or not, it re better perhaps if he does .not, lie will certainly be growing more in power for God with alien, and for men with God. "Abide in me and I in you; as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vino, no more can you exceptye abide in Me." Herein lies the secret of influ- ence for good, whether in Sabbath school teacher or any other. Let ns then if we. would out of the Sabbath school impress our scholars for good, if we would bring them underthe power of Jesus Christ, let us each press nearer to Christ and the light of Christ will pour iia rays into our spirit and will shine oub at all times and our scholars will rise up at last and call us blessed. Elder Smillie complimented the writer of the paper after which 'Stand up, stand up for Jesus" was sung with oon- sidorable gusto. "The reflex influence of a teacher's work on himself" was the tope intro duced by Jas. Dennison. He said, in part :—The teacher's work is one of great importance. It tends to familiarize him with great ideas. He meet be well versed in the Bible and other good books. He learns by teaching to simplify Truth. The teacher must he a student as 'well as a teacher and must arm himeelf with practical fasts. He must learn the taoti • cal way of managing bis pupils. The joys of the after life may be many as they remind him of pupils of former days. Heyde. Messrs. Dever, MacNab, Jarrow and Mrs. Berry, A. Gardiner and W. H. Kerr joined in the discussion. The beautiful hymn, "Jesus Saviour pilot me" was sung. Rev. G. J. Alley, of Broesele, was °all. ed on to introduce the topio "The Super intendant and his work." The superin- tendent mast be a o'oesorated man. He should be winning and willing to help both teachers and sobolare. His work must begin before the 8. S. hour. He must be a man of prayer, both at home and abroad. He must be a man who loves his Bible and shonid aot in the ca- pacity of pastor. The flock must be fed said the superintendent should inspire the besohers. A superintendent should know all the soholare, - He needs the prayers of the teachers and oonrregation. Superintendent ehonld be able t� sum n P the lesson or add hie opinion on pointe taught. The superintendent is an am. bassador for Christ. Mr. Abey'e ad- dress wee an excellent one and very. pram hal. The discussion brought not the neoes.. city of a preparatory prayer service ; teacbere' meetmge were desirable ; adopt new methods ; make reviews short and prayer likewise, with a brightness about the exercises that will be enjoyable 'o all, Rev. Mr, Mao/slab, W. H. Kerr, A. Gardiner and Zee. Smillie seeks. "Onward Christian Soldaora" was the next hymn, The ibflnenoe of the Home on the Sabbath Sohool" was the important sub- ject spoken aeon by Wm, Shortreed, of Morrie. The obief end 'of man is to glorify God. We should do this in oar homes in uOmmuniCation with God in prayer for our work, In olden times the people spoke one to the other on God's dealings and we should emulate them. The fruits should Inapparent in the Bab. bath school as the outgrowth of the home. The parents should accompany the pupils to school and eat a worthy example. Imprsseione made in the home oaunot be effaced. Instructions, portion larly the Oommandmente and other teachings of the good Book, the reveres- (sing of God's day and honoring of our parents should be of gr. at cun0ern to us and should be emphasized, Teach tem- perance at home by example as well as precept. Those who took part in the d eouseioo were Wm. Pollard, Rev. ML. Abet' and Geo. Barrows. Toe points elaoidated were that the child is the index of the home and the home should second the work of the S. S The home should not delegate the religions training to the S.

Mrs. Dever read• the following interest• ing paper on the "ma 1NFLIIHNOH OF THE eIINDAv SCHOOL ON THE CONOHHOATIQN." The Sunday School is the training school or gymnasium of the Christian chinch and as such, when properly organized and conduct- ed, should show a beneficial effect in every department of church' work. In the first place when children, as little tots in the Primary Department: begin to attend Sunday sohool, which is possibly the first public meeting they ever have attended unaccom- panied by either parent, they learn to con- form to the rules of the school to pay atten- tion to and take part in the putlia service of worship Not only this but even as very small children they learn to respect the House of God and His revealed word. Their little minds at this stage are so plastid hence so easily moulded, and their tender hearts and consciences so easily influenced by their sur- roundings that it is very necessary that these principlesbe early sot before them.

It may be argued that people will learn this from church -going; true they may and we hone they do learn some, but what a lcug time will be required if only ohurah-going is depended on for it and how mush will be lost es the meantime as no pastor in his pulpit dia. courses takes the Scriptures in any system, title form, nor is the same character or oc- currence followed' up Sabbath after Sabbath. Even though he did the hearer is not in a pDosition to have the particular difficulty that theseleoted portion of Scripture may present to his mind explained as he may have done in n Sunday school class where the subject is dlaoussed.and viewed from the standpoint of the different members of the olasses as well as 'het of the teacher. Then again a minis- ter reads, studies and reasons out a subject for his sermon. He spends hours, perhaps days or even weeks, over the subject before he presents it bo his congregation, then the hearer Bets the Product of lila work in from thirty to fifty minutes so has no tittle to think but the references mush less to refer to them in his Bible,. but if he has mad° a• special study of the part of the Scripture re ferrel to he follows the discourse intelligent- ly and sees at once the bearings of the refer- ence. " Not only in this way does Sunday school work help the hearer to a more intel- ligent understanding 01 the sermons deliver- ed from time to time but also from the study of the Catechism, which I fear does not re- ceive its duo amount of attention in the aver- sge school of to -day. Through the stud of the Catechism the pupil beeomea familiar with the dootrham i 01 the ohch as well as ggrrasping the meaning of certain theologicaltermabsol- utely the necessary bander of wbleh as nbeol- teachnecessaryin order to felly grasp the Coaching of the speaker. n By studying the Catechism, I do not mean merely to learn by rota the well to to the questions as they're Pound, as well teach a Chinaman the names of the numerals without making him under- stand numbers and call that. teaching arith- metic. That would be merely an exercise of memory and so far as understanding English notation was concerned ho would be as far from it as ever,so in learning catechism it is of very little use to anyone to be able to ans- wer glibly every question unless the meaning is clearly grasped. In order to accomplish this the teacher must be prepared to explain the meaning where necessary and give it in language that the pupil will understand, otherwise very faulty impressions may be made, but if intelligently learned the hearer will be able when these terms are used by the minister or others to follow readily the mob - 2,301 1nhand, In dais. way also the attention is more easily fixed on the speaker as nothing so promotes inattention on the part of a con- gregation as for the speaker to nae expres- sions the meaning of which the hearers are ignorant. Many a good praottoal sermon is wasted because of tieing misunderstood or misinterpreted. ,But, you say, cannot the Bible and Catechism be studied at home with equal profit f. I would say no, for more than one reason: First—It. is found difloult to arouse the mane intereatofchildren insys- tematic study when there are no others than themselves engaged in it. Again, in. the Sun- day school the pupils of about the same ad- vancement and equal attainment aro in the sameolessand they gain enthusiasm from one another as well as getting. the benefit of hearing the • passage explained in the words and expressions of those of their own age and capacity. This applies to grown people as well as children. How often have we heard a truth explained by some simple, true- hearted, thoughentirely uneducated Chris- tian that has come right home to our hearts andcleared some difficulty that many a ser- mon might not reach. Yes! what we want as much as pulpit preaching is to meet those who have tested the promises of God and in a conversational, friendly way will give us benefit of their experience, and the Sunday school olase is one of the few places where such talks are to be heard. We have more confidencein the actual experience of one we know than in the theories as some may term them, of the. • pastor.
