The Necessity of Sunday.
School Conventions.
The following is the paper read by
Miss Barrows at the Walton S. S. Con-
vention last week, the subject being "The
Necessity of S. S. Conventions :-
For the past five or six years we, the
people of Walton, lave been bolding
Union Sunday School Conventions.
Probably for the past week or so many
r
of ue may have beard some such remarks
as "0 1 their going to have a Convention
in Walton on the loth," Another says,
"So I beard, what's that for wonder
what kind of a time they expect ?" Sup•
pose we pause for a moment and ask our-
selves these questions,"What are our
Conventions and why do we observe
them?" Firstly, is not a Convention
the assembling of representatives or a
body of people witha special object in
view? If so, then what is our "spooial
bjeot2" Ie it not the extension and
romotion of Christ's kingdom on earth ?
Vith snob an aimdoes it not become
• „lnty of each re of us to look into
i0es, as teaobere, officers and sahol-
d e e i we have reaped any benefit
ing O6nventions of the past.
ave not, either the Conventions,
urselves, have failed iu aocomp-
that work which was designed.
if on the other hand, we as indi-
uale have received good, then it must
necessity follow that our Sunday
schools have reaped a corresponding bene.
01. With this grand. purpose in view,
viz., the extension of Christ's kingdom
and the glorifying of God, we must not
f\rremaiu at a standstill, bat be ever active,
ver advancing. The methods we em-
ployed a year ago may not suit this year;
the ideas we received and endeavored to
impart last year will not suffice for the
present. God requires growth and ex-
pects our very best at all times, but He
does not tell us that because we have a
good idea or a helpful plan we must nec-
essarily keep it looked up, simply for enr
ow>} use. Not all, the command is
'reely shave received, freely give."
-there not be a grand work accomp-
lished
ccom -lfehed in our Conventions along this line?
1 For fifty.two Sundays many of us have
taken our places in classes, either as
teachers or sobolars. Surely during that
time there bas been spiritual growth.
Plans or schemes have been employed so
arouse thought, thoughts have grown into
discourse, discourse produced actions,
the result of which may have been some
helpful method for the advancement of
our Sunday sobools. Thus we see that
by mingling together and exchanging
thought, we, both as teaubers and salmi-
, ale, receive additional funds of knowledge,
resulting in greater efficiency in our
work. Now, if euoh is the ease, .does it
` of become necessary to have oar Con•
entioo so that these ideas and methods
ay be passed along, that still better
wo '. ay be accomplished in the next
fifty- Wo Sabbaths. Another step in the
building up of this kingdom on earth, is
tloyalty to oar King. Aa subjects of
Queen Victoria, we deem it a privilege to
celebrate certain days in her honor.
Committees are appointed, Convention8
are held, nor is time, money or energy
considered in the arranging for these
celebrations ; even the children iu our
public schools are taught their drills,
their songs and speeches in honor of the
day. Let me ask, do we consider it less
necessary to have a day or days net apart
for Christ's came ? No, but the rather
do we not regard it as far more neoessary
and a greater privilege to honor our
Heavenly King by giving our own time
and energies, and by endeavoring to train
the children to regard these Conventions
as a sort of roll call, in which we look
back upon the work of the past year, and
still look and expect greater blessings in
the future, and as it work in which they
are expected to engage in, in that near
future? it is amid, and well said,
" pity ie'atrengbh " During the early
his y\of our Canada, in the struggle be.
tweein the french and Englieh, we find
the latter steadily gaining foothold until
at last their "speoial object" was to scale
the aliffe and capture Quebec. The
Plains of Abraham was the desired
battlefield, but great enol many obetaoles
strewed the wry, the only means of gain-
ing aaaoss to thie coveted stronghold be-
ing a narrow path winding up the side of
the cliff. Up this Wolfe'[ entire army
had to pass, but how was it to be brought
about ? Simply by every man obeying
his leader, doing hie duty and working in
amity. Do we not as Christians feet we
require this important stronghold, in the
strength which we derive as Sabbath
schools, and as individuals, far the unity
enjoyed in the Conventions. Another
point to be considered is that our Con-
ventions encourage anti strengthen us for
the larger fields of usefulness, which, as
we di'velop in our Christian life, are
continually opening for us. In one of
Moody'[ sermons he tells us when, as a
boy, he first went away from home to the
town where his brother lived, he was
very lonely and homesick, One day as
they were walking tip street his brother
remarked to him that an elderly gentle-
man whom they were meeting would be
Sure to give him a omit, as be gave ono to
iessay new boy. Moody gays after chat.
t1
Ong fee a.few minutes the .ora malA gave
him the cent, end altliopgh he never
knew what became of that Petit, yet be
neem: forgot the Cheery voioe er the
kindly toyed of the old man's hand. And
as we study this subleot nacre we will be
brought to see that Coneentioxo are
neeesesry for the edvanoemebt of Duo
Sabbath sehoois, in bringing u5 as a pee•
plc into tough with each other, to give 1101
a unity of thought, a sympathy of Par -
vote, and to preluote a eeasonibg loyalty,
Again, as Christians, we need the Oen-
vontioue to teach no to be more ready to
accept our share of reeponeibility, and to
enable us to be more willing and proud
to claim the privileges,
