W. Ii. IgE' lfiR, Editor and Proprietor. 1VLethods and Possibilities of Junior Work. GIVEN nr AMISS DT. S. 1VAi6$IN0T0N, OF INTON, AT TEE RECENT 0. E. CONVENTION. ML When Christ, after his resurrection, met with his disciples, and impressed op them again bis mission to the world, and their commission as his followers, he gave to Peter the assurance of restored favor and confidence, by placing him ae superintendent of the junior department of Christian work, in those forcible words, "Feed my lambs." The ohuroh has ever responded with more or less earnestness to this demand, Boys Brigades, Bands of Hope, Little Gleaners, Busy Workers, King's Sons and Daughters, Cataohumen Classes, and such gatherings have been formed locally to engage the youth in Christian work and moral reform. Together from the success, and lack, in these has arisen the necessity of an organization whose general principles may govern the whole, while giving them freedom in branohes of work, and mode of conducting their meetings. This need we believe has been met in the Junior League and Endeavor Societies. The first essentials in organizing these societies are boyo and girls, say between the ages of six and sixteen yaare, though the age limit may be more or less, ac. cording to the number of societies in the ohuroh. Do not promote the juniors in• to the senior society until they can and will take part in its meetings ; and 1 would say to the seniors, see that such have active work in your society, even if it necessitate the old reliables being alto- gether off the committee staff for that term. The superintendent, seleoted from the senior society, or appointed by the pastor, must be in sympathy and touch with the girls and boys. (Do not call the members of your League children.) They must have an interest in each one personally, their studies recreations and amuse, mento, not merelyn o recognizing them as so many members of the Junior Society. A. superintendent of this kind, consecrat- ed to the work, feeling its responsibilities, and wide awake to its opportunities, will develop unconsciously into the model re- quired, receiving as they give. The place and hour of meeting should next be con- sidered. The room bright, cheery and comfortable, provided with an organ, a blackboard and maps for missionary evenings, if there is no Mission Band in connection with the church. The hoar of meeting, one wbioh collides as little as possible with the other duties of oar busy young people. Our meeting is held, dur- ing the Summer months, from seven to eight o'clock, on Friday evening ; if that hour is found to be too late for tie young- er members, it may be immediately after school, or on Sunday afternoon, or pos- sibly on Saturday afternoon. The officers of the society are chosen by the members annually or semi•an• anally, as desired. The officers corres- pond to those of the Senior Society. The committees may be multiplied or limited, as opportunities for work are presented. I would say (though it was advocated at the Provincial Convention, that every member be on some cora- w mittee) do not have more committees f than you have work for. To place a girl t or boy on a committee without a definite line of work to he done, will give the idea that the position is chiefly one of court. esy, and small results, or none, are ex- pected. Reports ebould be given of the work done at stated times, if not in a regular meeting, at least to the Superin. It tendent, who can give condensed reports at a regular meeting. A look -out nom• T mittee is needed in every society, to re- mind the forgetful Does of the time and h place of meeting, to let the superintend- ent know if any are sink, to bring new members and welcome strangers. Nis. t sionary and temperance committees may n, also be formed, and one or two meetings from each given during the term. It is also ,convenient to have social and mna10 committees ready for work when needed. rl We have bad no flick visiting committee i in our Sooiety as yet, but our members a have taken flowers to the W. C, T. U. f Flower Mission, thud carried bouquets to the sick, as directed by them. We have a prayer meeting committee, In whiob 2 we 1dolude the officers, who meet at the E beginning of the term and arrange a tv program of topics and Bible study, one le eaoh for every evening ; these are printed w and distributed to the members, who i know what their worts is, and when it comes, and eau prepare as long before ae it they wish. t The singing—no unimportant part of t the meeting—should be lively, and aim- ple, with few verse° at a time. If Junior League song hooka are not used, let the e members each aeleot their favorite song a from the: hymnal in nae. In this way E the brightest and easiest song8 nifty be found. Keep a list of them for future b reference. An organist and ass'etant 0 oboe Id be appointed, who have the list of ,d songs well prepared, that in the abaence i of one the other may .1111 the position. ti One of the most important parts of the junior work Is the study of the Bible, which may be taken ppby periods of history, by authors, by heaps, or by aeo. tiono, that the young people may have au intelligent knowledge of the l3iblo as a, whole, of the relation between the Q(4 and New Testaments, and a general knowledge et the oontonts of eaoh book, which will awaken an interest to them to. oearob the Surlptaree for themselves, and load them to rospoot and reverence its teachings, The Members themselves may take up the Bible study, and • the euperinteudeue review briefly at the next meeting, to connect the thought. ,At the London convention Rev. S. -T. Bartlett gave a most complete form for Bible study, hay- ing the hooks arranged under suitable headings, with their meaning or key note ; for instance, the first five, or law booke, and their meaning, Genesis, be- ginning8 ; Exodus, departure ; giving the typical portions, events, objects, etc„ as fully as desired, while in each lsseon the superintendent.oar carry the thought from the types to their fulfilment, and interest the mind, educate the intellect, and captivate the heart in one. The pledge le repeated in concert im- mediately after the opening prayer in every meeting. Addressee on topics suitable to the juniors may be given by the members eaoh week, except Douse. oration meeting evening ; wo have been delighted and benefitted by those taken in our Society, some of which would compare favorably with the efforts of the seniors', the simple language used often making the truths more apparent. We have a roll of honor for those who attend Sabbath school and ohuroh once on Sunday and can repeat the minister's text and tell where it is found ; if the seniors think that a childish arrange- ment let them try it. The ooneeoration meeting corresponds largely with that of the Senior Sooiety, responsive reading of the lesson, Scrip- ture text in response to the roll call, sentence prayere,interspersed with sing- ing, and at the close, the collection or free will offering. We cannot properly estimate the ad- vantages to themselves, to the ohuroh, and to the world, as the result of thus early turning the energy and •enthusiasm of our young people into intelligent work for Christ. But as we think of the pos• sibilities for good od or evil contained in the life of one child, be that a Spurgeon or an Ingersoll, and consider our object not only to counteract the objectionable habits already formed, but to prevent their formation, by filling the young life with something better, purer, and egnal. ly attraotive, we look for great things from the Junior Sooieties. It cannot make a boy less sportive to' know that be is a volunteer under the Banner of the Cross, though it will make him gentlemanly and generous in his play. It cannot make a girl less bright and witty to feel that she is one of the King's daughters, but it will guard her from shadowing others by her brightness, or wounding her companions by her repar• tee. It cannot darken a child's life to hear the "God bless you" from the sink and "shot in," as she leaves her bright smile and a booth al Sowers, to gladden the lives of snob, but it will teach her to be gentle and thoughtful for others. Then, in the home, "a little child shall lead them." Send the Juniors home with mind and heart full of plana and projects of work to be accomplished, and you interest their parents and friends in spite of themselves, and the thought is forced upon the parent : if my ohild sees so much work to be done, shall I not dis• courage bim,and condemn myself, i 6i I remain idle? y Then the possibilities are that wo• are raising up active, oourageous, disciplined recruits for the Senior Society, who in the seasons of prayer will do away with the silent, I was going to say with the silent prayers between the audible ones, but they oannot be considered ae such; unless in the words, "1 pray thee have me excused," and we look for the time when every moment of the oonsearated League hour shall be filled with song, prayer and praise. The question of recreations and amusements too will, no doubt, receive proper adjustment as the outgrowth of this movement. Piece aide by aide before a hungry child, a dish of soap and water and a pipe, and a plate of wholesome and 'tempting food, and the average child wohld, we presume, leave the soap bub- bles for the food ; so, if we give the Juniors animated 500101 life saturated with mental and spiritual vigor, they will have little time or inclination for entertainments which contain neither. And as we thus strive to shield, educate and develop them, we fall in line with the army already marshalled against rong, and may take their watchword or our own, and join in the shout, "all he world for Jesus."

A large number of logs have come ashore near here. Evidently a large raft has broken up in Lake Huron and the West winds have driven it ashore here. A. meeting of the Sunday school officers and teachers of the town was held in Knox ohuroh for the purpose of making arrangements for the Co. Sabbath school Convention to be held here in January. The tide in favor of George Acheson for the mayoralty has been rising stead- ily, says the Signal. A business man with business methods is badly needed at the head a of the town Council just now. A workman named John Ire, an em- ployee at Manna's saw mill in Saltford, met with a very painful accident. He was attending a large circular saw, when bis shoe lane caught on the edge of the saw and bis leg was pulled towards it. The toes were almost severed, only a fragment of flesh holding the severed part. Nothing is likely to be done towards repairing the breakwater until next season. It is in s very dilapidated con- dition and will be muob more so after the Spring floods. It is a shame that 'nothing was done toward repairing it this season. The G. T. R. dock is also in need of a general overhauling. The elevated walk on the North pier is much decayed and unsafe to walk on. The re• mainder of the piers are in a good con. dition. McKillop.

Mr. Morrison went to Dakota when a boy, about eight years ago, and this being his first visit to Winthrop, be has grown out of most of our villagers' recognition. At a meeting of shareholders of the Winthrop Butter and Cheese Company, held in the factory on Nov. 28th, Andrew Govenlook, Robert Campbell and Francis Morrison were elected directors. At a meeting of the Patrons, held afterwards, it was decided to make cheese next sea- son, the Company to be paid 2 oehbe per pound and return the whey to the Patrons. John C. Morrison wee appoint. ed Secretary Treasurer and salesman by the Patrons, at a salary of $80, and to give bonds for 43,000. The secretary was authorized to insure the cheese for the Patrons. An adjourned meeting willgbe held on Wednesday,IlDec. 12th, when the plan of making butter in May and Ootober will be discussed. A telegram was received by Mrs. J. R. Govenlook, of this place, informing her of the death by accident of her brother, Robert G. Hall, at Sandusky, Ohio. He was the eldest eon of the late Wm. Hall, of Bayfield, where he was well and favor- ably known. Seven or eight years ago be located in Toledo, Ohio, and since then has been first engineer on one of the largest steamers plying on lakes Erie, Huron and Michigan.

When found by the oapbaio, who was attracted to the engine room by the accident, life was extinct, death apparently having been inebantaneous. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. W. L. Keys, Varna ; F. B. Hall, Clinton ; Rev. W. J. Hall, Minto, North. Dakota ; A. E. Hall, Clevland, Ohio ; and J. B. Hall, also of Toledo, Ohio.
