E. 1. and S. S. Cinvention
The annual convention of the"Ep.
worth Leagues and Sunday schools
of the Goderieh district of Metho-
dist churches was held in the Vic-
toria Methodist church on Tues-
day and; Wednesday of last week.
The first session opened on Tues-
day, evening with a serivice .of;
praise led byRev. R. J.
McCor
nick,. president of the convention.
The first address of the evening
was( given by Rev. G. N. Hazen.
of•London, president of the Lon-
don conference, and who is well-
known to the people of Goderieh
his subject being Twenty five
Wonderful Years," in which he re-
viewed the work of the. Epworth
League since its introduction into
Canada 25 years ago, He dwelt
especially ,on three aspects of
the work of the league, the educa-
tional, ,the missionary and the evan
gelical. The whole address was
well planned and delivered with
great power.
The next speaker was( Rev. S.
T. Bartlett, of Toronto, general
secretary of Sunday school work.
His subject was "The Senior Grade
and Its Needs." The speaker did
not hold very closely to the speci-
fic title of his address but he gave
a general review of the greatest
needs in the Sunday school and
some of his utterances were very
striking. He claimed that in the
Sunday schools • of the Methodist
church? in Canada there were 150,-
000 more scholars than there is
in the schools of any .other de-
nomination; there were 50,000 more
members enrolled in the Epworth
League than were enrolled in any
similar organization in the other
denominations. He said from the
time a name of an infarct is placed
upon the cradle roll of the Sunday.
school that person should not
break connections with the school
until they are too old and feeble
to attend, when they ivill be plac-
ed upon the home department:
The speaker rebelled against the
suggestion that young_ people were
like plastic clay to be moulded/ at
will. He said;,, "To attempt to
mould from without was to spoil
the child, they must be fashioned
trom' within. God never made a
Christian.He grew every one of
them. You can't make a boy, good
but you can make him want to be
good."
The church' was well; filled for
this session the musical part of

out loving but we cannot love

The Wednesday morning session
opened with devotional exercises
led by Rev. A. W. Barker, B. D.,
which was followed bya series of
20 -minute addresses uon various
eubjects of importance to the
league and Sunday school work.
Mr. G. M. Elliott spoke on "The
Worth of a Child." Rev. --J, E.
Hunter, district secretary of Sun-
day schools, gave a review ,of-
what had been done in the schools
during the past year. Miss Bailey
an energetic league worker from
Nile, gave an address on "Ee-
ononic Value of Prayer," which
was one of the strongest items of
the morning session. Rev. J. E.
Ford, under the heading of "Bible
Talk," gave avert' comprehensive
exegesis of Paul'e epistle to Phile-
mon. Rev, W. K. Hager delivered
a very stirring address on "Loyal
The morning session closed with
a round' table conference conduct
ed by Rev. S. T. Bartlett on "Sun-
day School Standards."
The afternoon session com-
menced with a service of song led
by Rev. S. J. Allin. This being fol-
lowed by reports of committees
and election of officers. Another
series of short addresses followed '
interspersed with bright confer-
ences,
An address which is worthy of
special mention was that given by
Miss Bessie Irwin, of the Deacon-
ess Training home, Toronto She
told of many wonderful life changes
that had been effected , through
the agency of the deaconess in
their work among the slums.
Mr.. A. M. Robertson, also gave a
very instructive address on 'Read
ing," pointing out how necessary
it was for efficient work along
christian lines.
The sessions closed .at 4.30 Wed-
nesday afternoon, it being the
opinion of all the delegates present
that a most helpful and inspiring
convention had been held and
many expressions of appreciations
were heard from visiting dele-
gates for the provision that had
been madefor them by the con-
gregation of Victoria street church.

Mr. John T. Watt,
Sir.—The Members of this Club
feel that the season of 1914 has
been one of the most successful
and enjoyable in the history , of
the Club, and they recognize the
fact that nothing else has so great
ly contributed to the year 's suc-
cess as the' condition of the greens
throughout the unusually {hong
bowling season. Seldom, if ever
before,; have we been able to play
from the middle • sof Mey
•until the last of Ot:tober, almost
Half a year .and that- we were ,able
to do so this year is. entirely clue
to the; care, pains and unflagging
WF
a
interest which you have devoted
to your duties as caretaker. Not
only has the season never been io
long, but the greens have, never
been so good, and, besides the
pleasure of being able to play the
game ourselves under most favor-
able' circumstances, we have taken "W
no small pride in entertaining yis-_
iting.. Clubs 'upon greens which
could not be surpassed anywhere
in the Province. Nor do our obli-
gations to you stop there. Your
untiring efforts to keep the game
going, .and your unfailing courtesy
and extraordinary kindness tdis-
played: towards the members at all
times, places us still farther in
your debtand makes it impossible
for us to allow the season to close
without tendering' you some• ex-
pression of our hearty epprecia-
tion, W,e trust that we shall have
the pleasure of greeting ymi at.
the return of Spring and .that' in

contribute to our victories .the

past had in winning honours for
