Agent, Brussels. EARLER (BY 15 MINUTES) WEEKLY TOURIST CAR TO THE Pacific Coast LEAVES TORONTO AT 12.05 FRIDAY NOON. T. FARROW, AGENT, BRUSSELS, W alien S. S, Convention. The sixth meeting of the Walton Union Sunday Sohool Association wan held in Duff's ohurph, Walton; on Thursday, Nov. 29th, As tete made and the weather were both favorable, there was a large attendance bath in the afternoon and evening. The afternoon saesion . commenced et 1:30, The retiring President, Mr, Gardi- ner, gave a short eddrees,'after whioh the now President, Mr, Bolger, took the chair, Next followed a paper on The Rela- tionand Duty of the Home to the Sab. bath Setae'," by Miss G. Smith, This Was so full of good, practical suggestions that it was decided to have the paper painted in full. Mr. Smillie, Mr. Moore, Mr, Gardiner, Rev, Mr. Pomeroy and Mrs. Berry took part in the discussion and expressed great pleasure in having heard the paper. Rev. Mr. Pomeroy ad- vised parents to Bend their obildren to the school in good humor and to remem- ber that the Home training greatly' in- fluences the results of the Sunday sohool work. Rev. D. Forrest then taught the S. S. lesson of the Sabbath previous, "The Woes of Intemperance," to the Convert,-' tion as a class. He took up the lesson in a very nice manner and kept the plass in-. tereeted and enthusiastic from beginning. to end, at every turn applying the teaoh, tags of the lesson and driving home its truths to the minds and hearts of his hearers. It was a model lesson in many respects and no doubt will: be a great help to the S. S. teachere who were prdsent, in the preparation and teaching of their lessons in future. Rev. Mr. Pomeroy made a few remarks on temperance at the close of the lesson, dwelling principally ou the national aspect, and showing what a vasa differ- ence it would be to our general welfare and reputation as a country if we were a nation of drinkers. .A. very interesting paper on the "Union Quarterly Review" was read by Mrs, Berry. As "in union there is strength" she strongly advised the nesooiation to have a union meeting every quarter, to review the S. S. lessons. She showed how such a union was working eatisfao- torily in Manitoba, and read a program of one of their meetings. The subjeot was taken up and discussed by Messrs. Smillie, Grigg, Pollard and Rev. Mr. Pomeroy. Wm. Pollard then took up the subject "General Conference on the Benefit of Local Conventions." Be showed that the S. S. had done good workbefore there were any Conventions, but this was an age of progress and we should ever -keep moving on in this as well as in other things. Even in our own day the -reaper has superseded the cradle and has iteelf been superseded by the binder. The very good interdenominational spirit that ex- ists among us has largely been brought about by these Conventions, the Epworth League,' the Y. P. S. 0. E., &o. This friendly spirit had not always existed, but he hoped this was a step towards, and would soon usher in the day when. there shall be one fold and one shepherd. He thought they should be kept np for - Oda if for no other purpose, that we may co -mingle in one common field. But be- sides this it developes local talent and it gives the S. S. teacher encouragement. He had been a S. S. teacher for many years himself and had received very little encouragement from parents or others. At one time, almost discouraged, he was going to close the school when a man, not a ohuroh goer, Dame to him and told him if he closed the Sabbath school they might close their church door. ' The S. S. teacher is an unpaid person and has no reward here, but he has bhe promise of a higher reward. "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life." The collection was then taken up, after whioh Bev, Mr. Pomeroy gave a short closing address, in which he strongly ad- vised ,parents and S. S. teachers to get the children to memorize verses from the Bible. Verset learned in childhood re- main with us all through life and are always ready when wanted, while those learned' in after life are soon forgotten. Mr. Smillie advised that before adjourn- ing a committee show ld be appointed to. consider the advisability of forming a Union Quarterly Review. It was then moved by Mr. Gregg, sec- onded by Mr. Moore that the superin- tendents of the different Sunday schools be appointed as a committee to 'act on this matter. Carried unanimously. The afternoon session was then closed with prayer by Rev. Mr, Pomeroy. DYONING SESSION. The evening seseion was called to order by the President, Mr. Bolger, in a few appropriate remarks. The opening hymu was followed by prayer, led by Rev. lir. Pomeroy, after wbinh the ohoir sang "Holy is the Lord." The first speaker of the evening was Rev, A. K. Griffin, of Brussels, on the subject "The Speoifle Aims of the Sun- day School Teacher." The speaker said time would only permit hire to give a euggestive engine. There was necessity for S. S. workers, ne the clergyman could not come in personal contact With the children by reason of extent of hie work, He thought the present not the ideal method of instruoting.the:ehfld religious- ly but it Was, the one we had to deal with, the teacher a worker under the clergy- man ; thie should not deetroy the indi- viduality of the teacher. The teacher should aim to impart' knowledge, This knowledge not naturally acquired. The teacher's whole life should • teach God's Truth, The teacher ebould aim to lead the ohild to accept Christ. Impress ou him that he in now God's child. The obutoh their human agency iu this -work. Only those who have debided for Christ oan lead to Christ. One ignorant of modioine only Sures by chance. Hymn Speed Away" was the well rendered by, the choir. G. F. Blair, of Brussels, then present- ed his subjeot, .'Childhood, the Battle- ground of the Kingdom, The speaker pointed out that the human Matt was the battle ground oh which the forces of W. H. KERR, Prop. good and evil meet to contend for the pprize of the heart of the individual. That they meet with most of sue0ees to the forces of the Kingdom when bhe bat- tle ground ie the child heart. He Rebated out how foolish a general would be who allowed the enemy to occupy the field first and fortify hfs poeition, while he stood idly by with his forces, Hew mon- strous we would deem the individual who would, stand by and see his child or that Of any other taken by some evil power and maimed, crippled and dwarfed and then would intervene and by,inedical skill seek to restore that of phyeioial and mental well being that might have been so easily retained. Are we not guilty of this, in allowing evil to dominate the Qbild life. The speaker divided the forces of the Kingdom into 8 divisions, the Home, the School and the Church, and dealt only with the one, the Herne—the influence of whioh, though operating in the small. est circle, was the most intensive and its influence would survive yenta of disre- gard of God and His will' end in the end' prove to be the power of God to the sal- vation of the child of a Christian home, He urged parents to see to it that what- ever else they might give their children,' tows that they went out from the home life with the safegpard of an earnest, lov- ing Christian home life deeply implanted in their hearts. "The Sunday Sohool Teacher's work" was then dealt with by Rev. G. H. Cob- bledick, of Brussels, in a most interest- ing and helpful manner. The true basis of S. S. work to be found in God's plan. For 1500 years the human agency in child education was the family. It prov- ed untrue to its mission.: There were three distinct beginnings in the life of the human race—in Adam, Noah and Aka ham when he was called ruler of the Chaldes. Abraham had a school in his family of servants, The order of de- velopment in teaching was the family, the school, and only in later year the pulpit. These the speaker called God's trinity of human agency for the salvation of the world. The teacher must not neglect his scholars 6 days out of the 7. There is no true teaching where there is no learning.. The inflaenos of the true teacher is two- fold—conscious and unconscious. The responsibilities of the teacher's work are ours whether we undertake it or not. The reward of the teacher is in seeing souls won for Christ. The session was then ended with `life usual votes of thanks, after whioh Rev. Mr. Forrest closed with prayer. There was a large attendance at, this, the closing meeting of a most successful Convention. Brussels Council.

To the Editor of Tim root, In this week's Herald`is an editorial on. the sebool opening inspired no doubt by the Ratepayer writing in the same issue on the same subjeot and a few of his friends' who are Tory now, always, and forever and can't see anything ',ualess through Tory epeobaoles (to the editor I say beware of them 11 you want success to crown your efforts) I thinkrt is uncalledfor in any sense unless from the eyes of a bigot AS there yeas not a semblance of politica in anything' that was said or done at the opening, to show what was the politica of any one balling part whioh speaks well of those taking part ;and shows that they respect their positions and act like men and not always prying politics as dose the editor's inspirer's. In doing this they evidentlyennoyed the Herald. or the Tory clique, that would like to run it and everything else bub who the citizens have discarded, and to show it was political say those who took part were reformers, now I don't think this any fault of the committee as 1 understand that the usual way at the opening of any public building is to invite our leading men in the County and locality and this T am informed is what was dpne. They invited our Minister of Education, our M.P.'s, our M.P.P.'s, our Reeves and' the Teachers and Trustees of the neighboring towns and country, our Inspector and the press of the county, and in response the following parties appeared :—Hon. G. W. Ross, Dr. McDonald, M P., M. Y. MoLean, M.P.P., Reeve Young, of Blyth, Wm. Ballantyne, trustee, Seaforth and a few of the neighboring teachers. Now. those parties and the Reeve of our town and the Chairman of the Board and our Principal have the good or bad fortune to be reformers and the committee had to make the best use of them and they did. Now,as no leading Tory attended they can't be held responsible for that nor are they to blame that there are no Tory M.P. or M.P.P.'s in this locality to invite. Why, the accusation is childish, that the opemng was political in any sense. The letter in the same issue breaths a recur. rection of the death wail of Farrow, Taylor etal and will if time allows be dealt with again. Yours truly, RATErAYMt No. 2. People We Know.
