SABBATH SCHOOL WORKERS,
ELUtITIF ANNUAL CONTENTION,
Tuesday morning of this week the.
eighth annual meeting of the Dietriot
Sabbath School Association, comprising
the schools in Grey and Morrie townships
and Brussels, convened in the Methodiet
church in this place at the hour of 10
o'clock, President Strachan occupying the
chair.
After the opening exeeroiso8 Rev. Jno.

proposing this sebjeot show it to bo their
opinion (L) That faithfulness on the part of
the officers is a necessary gnallftoation for
the eOicleu discharge of their important
duties ; (2) That the pesenBeloll of faithful-
ness was to be oommeudod and that the look
of it was to be deplored, and (8) That it was
a qualification which might be acquirer,
owl that others, as well as the of11oors them•
selves, might and ought to (end a helping
hand that faithfulness might be 8ecured-for
the oomfort and peace of the offoer and the
benefit of the Sabbath school ab large.
Paithtuluess is a strict adherano° bo duty,
and this conveys to our mind the fact that
the faithful ono occupies a secondary place
and that there is ono present to whom we
owe tuie duty of falbhtutuese, and it we owe
wo ought to pay it. Aa indisputable
authority says "Holiness for ever, Lord
thine house b000metlt well" and none t
think- will deny that righteousness and
faithfulness will Miocene ne the frequenter of
the Lord's house and in none of those is it

Who are most interested in scouring this
faithfulness in the onicer0 y I reply, they
who should be most interested aro the
parents and next to them the fellow voile us
in the Sabbath school. A means of
seeming faithfulness in the 01110er0 is by
the parents giving palpable proof that they
appreciate the work done for their ohildren'e

"Faithfulness in teachers." was the
theme taken up by P00tm0ater Farrow,
of Brussels, in the absence of Marshall
Harrison, of Grey, who was unable to be
present. The word faith is seldom met
with in the Old Testament but repeated-
ly in the New Testament. (1) Pinchn-
nlity is of first importance : (2) Precept
and example, showing a good example in
the olass and in the world ; (3) Prepara-
tion, attend to it at the home, and iu the
early port of the week. Be in oarneot
and impress the Truth ; (4) Prayer, good
work cannot be done without it.
"Faithfulnesein Scholars" brought out
a moot interesting paper by Miss Joan
Rose, of Brussels. The ill effects of
buying soholaro to attend school and the
overdrawn stories told to hold their atten-
tion were shown and the little attention
paid by the home was dwelt upon, as was
the want of parental control. A big
drawback is the absence of "leading"
men and the time and oxcose spent in
athletic' sports often are cheeks on Sab•

Rev. J. Roes spoke briefly.
"How can a taste for healthy literature

Prinoipal of Bruesolo Public School.
After explaining very clearly, yet concise-
