commenced sitting in the Presbyterian

Rev, Mr. Crew, Clinton, gave a, very

The princival thought in the addresees
being that parents should see that the
children go to church more than they
do, and that pastors ehould devote some
part of their sermon to the children, av
the S. 6, is a part of the thumb. Tho
service must be made interesting, and
then the ohildren will like to go to

teresting and instructive.
xenon anstatoott.
In the afternoon tho topic, ofielf.
training of 8, 8, teachers," was intro-
duced by Rev. 0. 8ttobler, Crediton.
We all need treening to be fitted for the
occupation we intend to follow, also, we
need training so that we can trate our-
selves. The teacher nods a three -fold
training, spiritual, mental and penal.
cal, The true teaoher will not be seta
fled until he has won the pupil to Christ.
Be must lead a life of trust and obedi-
came to Christ, and practice what Ilo
teaches. The teacher must be an seta o
thinker, the mind will develop through
meditation And etude, of the word. We
mast be in living eymputhy with the
truth, and then we will remember it.
Orasp the truth clearly, and review it
over and over agithe General study of
the Bible, rather than the loss in, The
teacher must be apt to teach. He should
learn to teach by teaching. Imitate the
gest teachers, and try to excel them, if
possible. We mime have a passionate
love for the work, to make a, emcees of
it. The address was very instructive
tied pointed.
The subject was spoken to by Revs, J.
Livingstone, W. Craig, A. Stewart, J E.
Howell, G. gawk', ,T. P. Simpson, Mr.
0. D. Wilson and T. C. Pickard. We
seould pray more for the gift of teach-
ing, The teacher should loath to think
eniokly, so that we can appropriate whet
we hear to ourselves, and bo able to
transfer it to others.. We must think for
oumelves, in studying the truth for the
class, and not depend on lesson helps for
the thoughts we take to the Sabbath
School. The lesson helps should not be
seen in the school. We can make our-
selves do anything. We must be self-
saorificing, and work and etudy, although
It may be against the betimes. The prin.
oimd points' being that teaohers meet
study more and work herder,' iu the
preparation of the lesson.

Soott, Clinton, the former speaking an
"Lighthearers," glowing how Christ

If so, the.e is plenty of work to do.

not be discouraged or disbear•ened if
