Reeve St Mohan is the OOnvener, _abbath School and Endeavor Workers, LARGE ATTENDANCE AND GOOD TIME. The County Convention of Huron County Sabbath School and Christian Endeavor Union was held in Wingham on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The sessions were held in the Presby• harem ohuroh, which was tastefully and appropriately decorated for the occasion. At each end of the Main street of the town was a street'wide streamer bidding the numerous visitors "Weloome," In front of the churoh, two other streamers angled the street, one bearing the words, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me," ,• on the other was the motto of the Societies, "Look up ; Lift up ; For Christ and the Church." The reception committee met the incoming trains and escorted the delegates to the ohuroh, where after registering, they were as• signed by the Billetbing committee to the homes provided for them e by the hospitality of the citizens, By the program, the first day was devoted to Sabbath school interests, The morning session opened at 9.30 by prayer and praise service led by Rev. Mr. Hall, oe Belgrave. Although this was the first session, and but fete of the dela• gates had arrived, nearly 100 were pros - web.. In the absence of the Preeidout, Rev. Jas. Hamilton, the ex President, J, P. Ross presided. The first speaker was C. W, Andrews, of Wroxeter. Hie topic was "The Teach- ers' Opportunities." He ooneidered that the Sabbath School teacher's opportuui. ties exceeded those of any other person except those of the mother, The raw one for this wore :—The pupil knows that the day.sohool teacher is paid for Ins services ; the minister speaks more to the older people ; the Sabbath School teacher receives no salary, hence this ]n• fluenoe is greater ; a process of education, by means of example, is constantly go. fug on, The opportunities of the teach. or may be plasma under two beads, those for Time and those for Eternity. Among those relating to Time were—op ortuni. ties for teaching punctuality, order and system, courtesy, good habits, desire of good reading, obedience, liberality and kindness. Under the head of Eternity the opportunities were muoll greater, and to also were the reeponsibilitoes. A go0c1 £onmdation for eternity meet be laid ; opportunities for inotiloating Meeronce, sympathy, truth, justice, honesty, love, in foot all the graces that go to make up the perfeot Christian ohmmeter. Tine address was pointedly praetioal and was listened to attentively. Verbal reports from Sabbath schools were then militia for, a number of the dulegatee reporting large attendance and prosperous tehools in different parts of the county. "The Iloeponeibility of the Teacher" Was the next topic, and was well )handled by ,7.1', )toss, Exeter. lie said, we aro not isolated units. and cannot escape re. epousibility. The fitting of ollildr00 fur the future world is 000 of the greatest reaponeibilitiee. The superintendent and paetier should be responsible for the character of those appointed teachers, and every teacher should pass an ex. amination on Bible Truth and hie be- lief of the same. The following are It few of the leading thoughts of niece ad- dress. The teacher ie responsible :—(1,) Por being a temehe' ; (2,) Po,' lack of knowledge of Bible Truth ; (3,) For what he teaches, and how he teaches. The secret of Christ's 0000808 as a temoh 0r was His patience, His faith iu man's possibilities, belief 111 tiro importan00 of ou0 soul, His great love and sympathy. Imitate Obeid ; (4,) For attendance and order ; (5,) For results. Tinder thi8 head a number of valuable limits were given. It was evident that the speaker was an earnest worker in the department of church work TOMMY Ar'1'RRnawr. After devotional enrolees, Secretary 3. 0. Stoneman, of Hensall, gave his re- port. He explained the reason of the absence of reports from many of the schools to the fact that there was no township organization. He reported over 150 schools in the county, and pre- sented a detailed report of those schools that had reported. The treasurer, I. Taylor, of Clinton, thon gave hie report, which in brief was as follows :—Cash re- ceived, $115.80 ; cash disbursed, 938 41, Leaving a balance of $27,48. More money had beau received this year than last, and the Association was 10 a position to pay its obligations. The necessity of suetaioing the Provincial Association, and the importance of see• taining the missionary efforts made in Northern Ontario were referred to, and liberality for Sunday School purposes urged. The speaker also touched on the privilege of being co-workers with Christ, and the responsibility of the position we hold. By assisting to sus. thin the schools in the sparsely settled dietriots we are working for eternity. Rev. J: W. Rae, of Toronto, then spoke on the S. S. Association, he aims, place and requirements. He illustrated his excellent address by a comprehensive sketoh on the black board, showing the various links in the chain as follows :- 1) World's S. S. Convention ; 2) International 8. S. Association ; 3)Provinoia l Association. 4)Township Association. Under each of these heads he dealt with the nature, scope and Work of each. His address was full of information and interest. Mayor Holmes, of Clinton, then ad- dressed the audience on "Temperance," dividing his subject as follows :—(1) The reason for the failure of the Scott Act, if failure it was considered.2) The Plebiscite about to be taken. (i3) Our responsibility. Bro. Holmes is a ready, fluent speaker, and is evidently intensely interested in the subject of Temperance. For the brief time at his disposal he developed the three divisions of his sub. ject in a very clean and iutereetiug man mer. The Nominating Committee then brought in their report, which was adopt ed, the officers elected being :—President, R. Holmes, Clinton ; Vme•Presidente, Dr. MoDonald, W. H. Herr, W. Elder ; Corresponding Secretary, J. 0. Stone. man, Hensall ; Seo. -Trees , I. Taylor, Clinton ; Executive Committee, Dr. Towler, Rev. W. T. Hall, D. E. Man. roe, J. B. Hoover, J. Houston, A. W. Million, J. P. Ross, G. Barr, and two representatives from moll Township Association. Auditors, H. Footer, Jas, Soott, Clinton ; Representative to Pro• vinoial Association, J. P. Ross. Miss J. Murray, of Wingham, then taught a primary class the lesson of July Ord. In her management of the lesson, Miss Murray showed oonsiderable toot, and displayed several of the requisites of the successful teacher.
