HON. SIR. BLAKE'S ADDRESS.
MRS. KENNEDY'S ADDRESS
mu primary and general Sunday
School work was very interesting
and mustructive, She spoke for
nearly an hour, the greatar part of
which was devoted to Rumoring

small eblldren'a attention during an
!tour's Sunday School lesson was
to divide the time up so ae to give
them a variety and make it so fas•
mettles, by relating little anecdotes
in connection with the chapter that
they wool./urge you to give them
snore. This could he quite easily
alone by every teacher who has a
knowledge of Bible history. This
might only amuse the children at
forst, but it would be found that very
soon. they would become so hungry
• for tunes, beantifal stories that al.
most before they knew it/the story of
the•croes and of Christ's love would
be a part of themselves. Mrs Ken•
acedy advised the primary teaohern
to go thoroughly into the history
amid geography of the Holy Land
and cont1nually instil Mato the
minds of their scholars. This was
the most effective w.ty of ooncentrat
sag attention and interest. It would
also have the result of forcing the
pupils to believe that the story of

Hon. S. H. Blake, on opening his
remarks, spoke of the well-qualified
man selected as president. He would
never be satisfied until the Bible was
taught in the Public schools as well
the Sunday schools. He felt dis•
tressed beoauee its principles were
not eo taught. He noticed by the
reporte that there was much ground
to be occupied, that 158,000 children
remained who should be reached.
It is our duty to possess this land
for our Master, and to seek the best
meane by which this can be done.
He said one attribute in under-
taking this work is faith. Another
thing is organization, which is a
great moans of suitcase in matters
temporal and spiritual. The work
should be divided among ne. Each
should go up aotively to the work
directly before us. He rejoiced at
he great work accomplished by the
secretary, and we should be thankful
er hie powers. In New York they
have seven secretaries, and we need
more, for one man cannot cover all
he territory effectually. Great need
