The aftoruoon iwosi011 opened et 1.10
o'clock, President Welsh occupying the
chair. The hymn "We praise Thea, 0
God" was sung and Viee•Ptestitlent
Smillie piloted prayer. After a few
brief introductory remarks from the
chalr and lunge) by rho choir the first
topic on the program, "What should be
the Sunday school teacher's aim ?" was
introduced by Rev, Mr. Cttowell in a
timely ten minnto address. In the dis-
passion following J, Smillie, D. Camp-
bell and Rev, 1). Forrest took part,

scholars be beet secured ?" "This sub-
ject, which has been allotted to me, is
ono which should be of primo importance
to alt interested in the work of training
the young, not only for time but for
eternity, not only for the benefit it may
be to the pupils as individuals but to the
general influence they may have for good
or evil upon all they come in contact

theme whine detnands very spaniel atton•

Gould know that by God's blessing I have
been enabled to arouse one indifferent
mind or incite to drenewod activity one
discouraged brother or sister engaged in
spreading God's truth, I will feel amply
repaid. As a suggestion then let me say
that the teacher must endeavor, by every
means in her power. tose0ure the cone•

First as to the class. 'Wheuever preeti•
cable each class should not bo too large,

and rivetlthe attention of every member
composing that c1aa0. Let the children
be seated directly in front of the teacher's
eye so that with one glance she may be
ably to ascertain whether she bolds their
attention or whether they comprehend,
then if this in not the case an active,
•enthusinstio teacher will at once bo in a
position to remedy this defeat. Thus
when special mire is taken to allow each
,child that the teacher wishes steady and
constant application, he will begin to un-
ctorntaud that his presence is of some im-
portance to the olaes and that while
