G ! 136 The fourth annual Union District Sab- both Sobool Convention convened in 1Vlelvillo Presbyterian 0115001), Brussels, On Tuesday of time week, Rev, G. •H,. Cobblediok, B. D., President, °coupled the chair. Tile morning session opened at 10 e. in. "I ala so glad thatJesns loves 133)9" was sung, after which prayer was offered by James Smillie and B. Gerry, The President read the 93rd realm and the audience joined in Singing ""To the work" nal: and38the Convention was ready for busi • Rev. Mr. Cobbledfok, President, ex- pressed his gratification at the auspicious openly of bhis Convention ; at the ex- cellency of the program and the large list of delegates forwarded to the Billeting Committee, He hoped a day of pleasure and profit was before diem. We have come 130 do and got good and carry back to our res eetive 1 sFJ opts newinspiration. s 1a' p p Lion. "Whathave o v we come for 7"was filo first topic) and was introduced by Wm. Pollard, Superintendent of the Methodist school, Walton. He referred to the necessity belt by different professions and sections for meeting in Convention. We are here as a religious duty and the com- bined mental and spiritual powers are required to make the gathering a Success. Como with a fixed purpose to get benefit. We must make rise of the means to do and receive good, Come for a good time. Come to represent our S. S. and show the aide we are on. The speaker delight• ed iii the inter -denominational spirit that prevailed and that the dividing fences have been largely removed, The discussion was 'joined in by 13. Gerry, J. Smillie and Goo. Grigg and a number of excellent points made. Hymn 175 was sung, "Bark 1 the voice of Jesus," G. F, Blair, assistant Superintendent of Melville church, Brussels, introduced the important subject, ''Benefits of a weekly Teachers' Meeting." The speak- er emphasized the necessity of these gatherings and the benefits accruing from them and they will be successful accord- ing to the enthusiasm of the teachers. More systematic Bible study ie required and this etudy must be confined to the church and home. The majority of our teachers have little opportunity .for out- , sidle training and here the teaohere' class .0011100. to their rescue. Mutual inter- ohange of ideas is whore the benefit comes 3u. Want of interest is the cause of many faiiures in carrying on these gatherings. These meetings give uni- formity of teaching. It aids in definite- ness, Don't theorize but tesoli the Truth as the story and text give it. A.. Stewart, Rev. ii. Paul, T. Strachan, W. IL Kerr, W. Pollard, and Rev. Cob• bledick all saw the necessity of maintaining a weekly teachers' meeting and thought the lack of interest was the cause of failure. "I Iove to tell the story," was heartily sung. Rev. Mr. McRae was not present and an interchange of topics was made. "What the S. S. may learn from busi- ness men" was the practical topics B. Gerry, assistant Superintendent of the Methodist sohool, Brussels, spoke on. These were his points :—(1) He must de- cide the line of business. 115 will enter ; (2) He decides the quantity and quality of his goods ; (3) Ile must understand his business so that he feels at home in it (4) He invites the public and tries to supply their needs ; (5) He keeps up his etc. and has a "want" book ; (6) He sps seasonable goods ; (7) He 311110t be commodating and so must be his em• 'ees ; (8) He must advertise his goods d leave 11s opposition alone ; (9) Hes 11 'exhibit his goods and put some teethe ut; (10) He will be known by his siness ; business is done for the benefit be derived from it ; some goods yield re profit than others. The Nominating Committee was ap- it0d as follows :—Thb President, Bev. Ross, A, Stewart, T. Strachan, Jas. illie, C. Mollie and the Secretary. "Praise God from whom aril blessings " was sang and the Benediction Pro. unced by Rev, J.

Teacher" was the first topic, introduced by Rev. R, Paulin an excellent paper, which we hope 30 reproduce shortly. What teach- ing is not --it is not for entertainment. The aim must be Gotl's glory. It is not kegivela pself downbhand exa113 God, That teacher should not oreale doubt in the mind' of the pupil. It is not to preedi but to teat% and here ninny fail. It ie the work of the Lord and the aim should be to lead the pupil to the Saviour. The teacher must gain the attention of the pupil, Ho must win the affeetio(1 of the dame for himself, the Tretll and; the Lord, One object must always be before him. The Truth -should be presented in ,plain language and made clear to all. The lesson should be taught earnestly. All teaching should be practical char- acter, directed by`tlre Holy Spirit. In teaching the Holy Spirit is too often left out, Tho gnalifioatlons of a tea01101' are a healthy body ; a, sound, cultured, vigor• one mind it warm, sympathetiol heart ; a devoted and consecrated) life must be master of the 0itaa1ion, Mr. Blair Was introduced by the -retic• ing 1proeidout and made an appropriate address expressive of the honor he fel his election, A cordial vote of tlntnits was passe Rev, Mr. Oobbledfok for his services the past year, on motion of Rev,, J. R and T. Strachan.' NIr, Cobbled/dr spondee/ appropriately. The dismission on Rev. 421•, ,Paul'e per was taken up by W. II. Kerr, Stewart, Rev, J. Ross, B. Gerry and B Peal, The necessity of sunshine, pore al application, the proper idea of "work" of the 300711er were touched up "Stand up, stand 3)p for Jesus" snug and was followed by a Couferen presided over by Rev. Mr, Oobbledi The first' division was the benefit of. 0. S. work to the toaoller. The follow points were brought out —76 coin hien to study. It compels bun to close to the source of spiritual pow It keeps him in touch with ohild natn It stimulates the 4eaohor to batter life a sot.

People should never get too for the school, The benefits to the p enb, 1b will cause the parent to bru up and will create a bond of unity b twee" the parent and child. It sets good example to the child. The S. supplies the home with a splendid lot literature,—The parents and home stud —It would be easy to find. fault with pa ents. It is only doing justice to teacher that parents. aid children in limn study. Help of parents necessary to au twin the interest of the teacher in welfa of the pupils. Aid might be given parents teaching children separately or a class, reading family worship, the S. lesson, prayer for the S. S. work, t home study leaflet now in use in Presbyterian church. 111 this very 1 teresting discussion the following person took part, Messrs, Strachan, Gerry, Dea man, Smillie, Kerr, Revels., Kellingto Shaw, Waddell, Paul and Ross. Miss Mary Ross, Primary teaoher i Melville Sabbath school, taught thaless for next Sabbath—The Resurrection the Saviour—in a most pleasing,9raotic and profitable manner. She utilized th blaolcboards, caterpillar, cocoon, butter fly, in illustrating the teaching of thele son. Quite an interesting discussion f lowed on Primary class work. Reports followed of visited made by various persons to the different Sabbath schools in Grey and Morris townships during the past year, Rev. G. F. Salton, of Stratford, aketcbed the work of a Normal Institute. Rev. W. J, Waddell, of Ethel, had the closing subject, "The Teacher's Reward." The reward depends lad, On the free will of the teacher ; 2nd, The moral quality of the work done ; do a definite work for Christ ; 3rd, The reward trill depend on the source from which it conies. The teacher is saved from the Habit of Sab- bath breaking. Safer as to tendency to seeptioism. Purity of motive looking to God will be blessed. Mr. Waddell dealt with his .subject in a very interesting menner, Moved by Rev. Mr. Cobblediok second- ed by Mr. Gerry that the Executive be iuetructed to secure the services of Rev. Mr, McEwen for a Normal Instituto to be held in Brussels on a date to be ar- ranged. Carried.

Melville church was crowded to the doors by 7:30 by an interested audience. President Blair ocoupledthe chair. The hymn "Holy 1 Rely 1 Holy 1" was sung and Roy. D. Forrest, of Walton, offered prayer. Misses Lillian Ainley mud Mary Rose and A. M. McKay and Alex. Ross sang a fine quartette "The Lord God bo with us." Rev, T. W. Cosene, of Walton, deliver- ed a Most excellent address on "Enthus. iaam in S. S. Work." He proved that excitement is not enthusiasm and then proceeded to show why the parent should euthusiaetioally support the Sabbath School.. The enthusiastic) teacher must be it Christian with established Christian attendee ; a person of prayer who will pray un tit he receives the power of the Holy Spirit ; a student ; he will do a lot of pastoral work. The teacher should be full of enthusiasts because of what the children may become to the home ; to sooiety ; to the nation ; to the Church. Sabbath School work is the grandest in the world because it touches eternity. .lir. Cosens' timely address received the close attention it deserved. A. hymn wee heartily joined fu and following it Rev. J. Rose answered the many puzzling queries in the Question Drawer in a prompt and satisfactory manner. Not a few of then were inteu. sely theological and rather foreign to Sabbath School work. The quartette "Sim of my Soul" was sung by Misses Ainley end hoes and Messrs. McNay and Ross. The coneludling address of the day was delivered by. Rev. G. F. Salton, of Strat- ford, formerly of Brussels. Ih was out of the usual track and was based on the statement that The Formative Ministry is better than the Reformative, or Pre- vention is better than cure. He stated that out of 13 million young men on thig Continent, 10 millions have gone through the S. S. and only about one million is in the church. We aro winning diameter for others as well as ourselves. The Christ life and likeness should be our ambition; Character is slow of growth but the possibilities of childhood are boundless, Mr. Salton very strongly urged S, S. workers and pertains tb melee an earnest effort to never lose their grip on the youth of their oommimi13y. His address set more than one of his auditors thinking and will do good. Moved byy. Rev. Mr. Waddell, seconded by C. Michie that this Astooiettiou plane on record a hearty vote of thanks to the kind Monde in jiruersele who showed their hospitality fn such a gener0135 man- nar,. Carried, On motion of Rev.

Queen's weather favored the loyal sone and daughters of title grand Province last Friday as they celebrated the seventy- sixth anniversary of the birth of good Queen Victoria. If it was a gullet day to any it was not for want of demonstra- tions, as the day was honored in hun- dreds of places and games, sports, mili- tary displays, fireworks, &o., &o., demon. titrated that the day has a strong grip on the land' of the maple leaf, The celebration committee in Brussels parried out their program of fun in a most satisfactory manner and bad the gratification of knowing that a neat surplus was left in Treasurer Kcenig'e hands when altindebtnees wee cancelled.

The members of these reepeotive Foot Ball Olubs lined up on Victoria Park at ]0:30 o'clock and at the word of 00m• mend from Referee Cranston, of Atwood, the ball was set in motion and for the succeeding hour and a half the large num. ben of spectators were greatly interested in the play. .Excellent work wits done by both elevens, and they were so evenly matched the first half time that the bell was in close proximity to both goals more than mice and expectation ran high as to the final result. The first three- quarters of 001101.13 passed without either club snoring, but shortly after changing ends a ]lot shot whirled past Ted, Grilnoldby and the visitors omunted a goal. This aroused the home team to more deoided and oonoertod notion and after some neat combination work on the wings Brussels hustled in 3 Vietorioos eliote and thereby won the game. The Atwood boys are a gentlemanly lot of fellows and play e, good game, but they weren't in it in the last half of the =titian] Friday.
