The Provincial Sabbath School Con- vention assembled in the Queen's avenue Methodist church, London, on Tuesday afternoon, when some two hundred dele- gates were present at the first session. The convention was called to order by L. C. Peck, chairman of the Executive Com- mittee, and devotional exercises were led by Rev. J. G. Scott, the singing being under the direction of Harry Blight, of Toronto, who was assisted by Mrs. Blight at the organ. The nominating committee selected as president of the convention Wm. Bowman, of London, whose services in this cause has extended over a period of fifty years. After re. ports, which were received in reference to the work from several counties. Wm. Reynolds of Peoria, was introduced as President of the International Conven- tion lately hold in Chicago. Mr, Rey- nolds is making a tour in the interests of Sunday school work of a motion of coun- try in the States and Canada. He paid a high compliment to the Christian on- thusiesm of the Dominion, and especi. ally to its interest in Sunday school work making special reference to Toronto, Ho said there were one hundred thousand Sunday schools on this continent, in which•labored a million and a half of the best men and women found in anysphere, and they were influencing the lives of trillions of children in their relationship M the futureof our oonetry ss well as our Christianity, and that these Sunday school teachers, more than any other body of patriots, held in their hands the country's destiny. The Word of God was never so oloeely and so intelligently studied, and he had no fear of infidelity, the cause of which was rightly said to be ignorance of the Bible, aid its cure was found in its study. He said Chicago had received a warning that it was built on a social volcano that might burst at any moment, composed as it was of such a polyglot people, many of whom were a scourge to the land in which they live. Reoently a man had given to Mr. Moody $100,000, to bo expended in the rescue of the children of that great city. 0VLsNING 5055100. The convention resumed its session at 7:80 with devotional exorcises, after which the president-eleot was introduced, the pleasing feature of his election being his jubilee year in Sunday school work. He very appropriately took occasion to contrast the position of society in its re• gard for the Bible and its principles fifty years ago and now, when literature is suffusewith its spirit, children were sitting at'the feet of Christ through the teaching of His word, and the principles of Temperance and the social, questions were being tested by ite standard. It augured well for the speedy advent of millennial timos. and in this advance of Gospel light the Sabbath school is not the least of 0 nor the most unimportant factor.A cordial welcome to the hospit- ality of London wee extended by the Rev. 3, A. Murray. Rev. Hugh Johnston, B. A., of Toronto, paid a royal tribute to Her Majesty, the Queen, on thie Jubilee year of her acooseion. The Rev.

He feared many homes made the possession of a beautiful family l3ible do duty for family religion, keeping it as seine kept a rusty horseshoe, as a suppos. ocl charm, Ho closed with a touching reference to the recent oonsecretion of Miss Alexander, of Toronto, to the mis- sion work and to the self-eiteriflcing loy- alty of the father who had, so to speak, "out off bis right hand" for Christ's sake. Mr, Blight sang 'The Gipsy Boy,' and the first day's soesicn3 were brought to a close by the Doxology. To be con. eluded next week. BRUSSELS 0 1ST MILL !
