Thursday morning was xtrernely stormy, and when the hour or the opening of the first session ar- ivecl very few delegates were present. "he meeting was called . to order, how - ver, by'Rev. Mr. Goldsmith, who tbero ead a letter from Mr. J. R. Miller, of oderieta President of the- Association, lc:pressing his inability to be pidsent, oh ceount of illness. The duty of presid- ig over the Convention thus fell upon Ir. Goldsmith, tae , Vice -President. 'oine further business of a routine char- eter was transacted and the Convention djournect until the- afternoon. l'HE ECOND SESSION. By the' tim of meeting in the af- ernoon, the storm having subsided and he western train having arrived, these as a much largernumber of delegates nd others interested preeent than in the orning. After the- opening exercises e discussion of the subjects for the ses- ion, " The Field of Sabbath School Work in Canada—in Huron County," and ' The Seed," was announced in 'order. n these subjects, the Chairman,' Rev. Ir. Goldsmith and Rev. Mr. Graham, f Egmondville, delivered exaellent ad- restes. A number of other !natters rel. tive to the wofking of the Convention laving been discussed thenConvention djourn ed. - During this session the deputation rom the Provincial Sabbath Sehool- As- ociation arrived. It was composed of he following gentlemen : Bev. W. Mil - Lard, Secretary of the Provincial Asso- iation ; Mr. George' Harcourt, of To - onto, and Professor Senanel. Thedepti- ation, having 'been introduced. ta the 'onvention by the Chairman, were warmly received. THE THIRD SESSION. In the evening the audience was much arger than at either of the previous ses- ious, the Wesleyan Church beam nearly lled. The seats facing the pulpit were =vied. by children from the Sabbath ohools of the villege. who appeared reatly interested in the proceedings, specially those parts which were par - milady directed to themselves. The 'abject for the evening was " The Sow - hg.". Rev. Mr. Gra,ham spoke of the sowing n the family. He regerded the family ducation-of children as, of great impot- ence. Napoleon had said, on one .occa- ion, that the great want of the time was ood mothers; It is so With us. What e want, to, make good Christian men nd women is; first of all, good mothers.; tev. Dr. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, having national Series of Lessons, The Des- truction of Sodom," and proceeded to illustrate it on the blaokboard. The blackboard, as an a,gen4 in Sunday School instruction, tieing novel to many of the audience, this part of the proceed- ingexcited considetable interest. Mr. Harcourt's plan of blackboard illustra- tion seems 'to be to write on the board the principal points of the • lesson he wiehes brought out, then by questions, he elicits from the children answers re- ferrin,g t� these divisions, which he also writes down. The class has thus the whale subject placed before them; in a manner much more lik-elY to be retained. in tae memory than if the instruction were merely given orally. Many teachers be- lieve that the blackboard can be used. only by those having considerable skill as deaughtsmen, but Mr. Harcourt's suc- cess in its use • showthis to be erroneous i as he makes very little display of artistic skill, but confines, himself to plain writing awl marks` whieh the most inexperienced might imitate. Mr. Harceurt's manlier of talkino. to children is admirable: He neither trifles for their amusement nor talks over. their heads, but speaks direct- ly to them, in words which they can un- derstand. and in a manner which com- mands their interest and attention. Mr. Harcourt, having cenclndecl his lesson, and. the hour for clotting having come, the meeting adjourned after ,the usual music- al and devotional exercises. THE FOURTH SESSION. . The financial condition of the Associa,- tion was first considered on Friday morning's session. it was found that a small balance was• on hand from last year, and that the finances of the Asso- ciation were in a satisfactory condi- tion. It was then decided that the next Convention should be held in Goderich. The next business was the election, of officers. The following are the officers elected for the current year: OFFICERS ELECT. President—J. R. Miller, Goderieh. Vice -Pres iden ts--- A . Armitage, Sea - forth ;• Mr. Gould, Exeter: Recording Secretary—T. B. Fisleer, Varna. • Corresponding Secretary—T. Turn- bull, Clinton.

TOWNSHIP SECRETARIES. The following gentlemen were elected Secretaries for the various townehiros in which they reside. Their duties will be to correspond with the Central Associa- tion regarding Sunday School interests in their municipalities, to visit schools and to comperate with the Central As- sociation in forming township Associa- tions. The following are the Township lice before him a class of Princeton Secretaries : beological students, asked those who McKillop-- Wm. Pollard, Walton. aid had pious _mothers to stand up, Tuckersmith—J. Miller, -Brucetield. hen the whole class rose to their feet. laillett—A. Callender, Londesboro. Jesus himself and his Apostles carefully sowediu the households into which they came, and it was because the Master had sowed the seed that there was encourage- ment for us. Rev. Mr. Crane, of Kinburn, next spoke of the sowers in the church. All who are in the church, he said, are sow- ing either good seed, or bad. No man lives to himself and. no man dies to him- self. There were different positions in the church end different talents possess- ed by its members, and God, by giving some teachers, some apostles and some evangelists had provided for this. Not only was the minister a sower in the church, • but the • office -bearers as . well, and also the parents. All were sawing. not only by 'teaching, but by example. A: holy life as the most important part of a sower's work. Success M teaching or sowing depends 'greatly on the early training the teachers have received. If all sowers had the blestin of early Chris- tian training, how rnuoh aore successful and effective would be their efforts. A man's early training affected his. whole. life, and to those who had not received' Christian training in their early youth, it was -extremely difficult to attain high spirituality. So if Ige would have suc- cessful sowers DI the church we -must at- tend to the laths of Christ's* flock. Rev. Mr. Millard spoke on the sowing in the Sabbath-Sahoo Previous speak- - ers had. -told them .that he field Wali the world, and the seed the good seed of tae Word of God. The tespen- sibility of sowing rested first with the fethers and mothers, and they could not shake it off, or shift it ou to the Church or the Sabbath School. The teachers should be the best Christimis to be found in the Church. -They should not only be the most Godly persons in the church but the most intelligent. They should be prepared, and no person could be it .proper sower or Inacker who was not •prenared. There should be one tepic for instruction and the teacher should be prepared On it. During the week he should get it so thoroughly into his memory that he could go to his class without a book. Teachers should not trust to commentatori s. if they dicl that tom and it was better that many County they would always lee poor teachers. (iloarentions, Every chuach and school I Let teachme wotk out the lessen player- in the township was represented ; the fully themtelves. There are differences in classes and in the c hildreh Nyho compose them, as there are differences in soils, and the teacher should. earnestlystudy his crass. A different eowing was requir- ed. for the senior and junior classes. The senior class shoald be encouraged to think_ and enquire, while the juniors should be taught otherwise. The little ones. had to have truth broken to them in eaery small morsels. The teacher should study each scholar in bis class, a, lapt hie seed to the field, and then sow perseveringly and prayerfully. He must sow in faith. Though there was much to discourage the Su nday School teacher, there was not in tae world a field half so productive as the Sunday School. ' BLACKBOARD TEACHING. Mr. Harcourt, of Toronto, then ad- dressed; the childreat He took for his subject the =trent lesson of the Inter- Usborne—Samuel P. Halls, E Hay—Hugh Love, Sr., Hills • Stephen—John Parsons, Cred Stanlev—.T. B. Fisher; Vern why should not people take provisions ' with them, and eat them, vrhen. they got Isungry, in pic-nic style. Mr. Harcourt said there was no dan- ger but their Conventions would succeed if they tried them. The first Conven- tion was held in Kingston in 1857, and from this the,impulse of the whole Con- vention movementt hrough out the United States and. Canada originated. Mr. Fisher would volunteer, with the assistance 01 a brother delegate present, to get up a. Convention. in Stanley before S Miller, Brucefield, was .glad September. mber. to hear Brucefield suggested as a place for holding a Convention. From the interest manifested in Sunday School work in that vicinity he thought a very flood. Convention could.- be got up there during the sun -linen The discussion was continued by Mr. Fisher, Professor Samuel, Mr. Aiken - head, Mr. Millard. and ethers, arid. mos - ed by the passage of a resolution tastruct- ing the Executive Committee to form delegations to assist in establishing As- seciations in the various townships, Where necessary to defray expenses from the funds of the County Association, THE omummee's MEETING. The afternoon was devoted. to a raass meeting of children front the several SundayeScheols inaleaforth and vicinity. The centril seats of the Presbnterian church were quite filled. with children, and the side pews and a portion bf the gallery were occupied by 'delegates and H spectators. Mra arcourt, Rev. Mr. Lavelle, and. Rev. Mr. Millard addressed the children. Mr. Millard gave an il- lustration of the use of the blackboard in teaching, he also exhiaited alarge nit mber of colored diagrams, plates and engrav- ings, illtistrative of scriptural lessons. The 'children seemed „much interested and. certainly preserved an order and de- corum which were very credita.ble. ant CLOSING, SESSION. The attendance on Friday evenino was e 0 the largest wh.ch had. yet been present at any of the sessions, the Presbyterian churchbeing well filled. The subject set down in the programme for discussion was " The Harvest." The first speaker was Rev. Mr, McCuaig, of Clinton, who spoke' on "The Fruit of 'Sunday School Work in Ontario." • Mr. MeCtiaig said that had he expect- ed to have to speak on this subject he would ha,ve provided binstelf with sorae statistics in reference to it, which he had not now at hand. He believed, how- ever, there were some 500,000 children in Ontario of school age. Of these 250,000, just half, were Sunday Sehool sc'aolars. That is one evidence of the work of Sunday Schools in Ontario. Still, he believed we were yet very far be- hind some of the States in the efficiency and organization of our Sunday S'ebool system. There o was no country in the world where Sunday School work was carried on more efficiently than in the United States, but he thought frotu. the interest and. zeal now being mani- fested we might yet even surpass that country. The Sunday School merenent hmville. hes pi omoted Christian unity (more than Green. iton. any, other agency.

Mr. Miller, of Goderich, was to- have read an address on this subject, but in his absence the Chairman called upon Rev. Mr. Millard. - Mr. Millard said one of the advantages of Township Conventions was that they afforded a means by which to arrive at the state of Sabbath Schools in the County. Those who atten meetings knew their value. attended any meetines so refr tiona. The small denventim gathered here this morning did not rep large County of Huron. If pe not .doine to the Conventions, t take the Conventions to them eould do by Township Conventions. As to management, the .Executive Commit- tee should get together and decide how and where and when to hold a Township Convention. :The Committee should not wait till asked but take the first steps.

A Farmer's Verdict mri Seviing ole Clin- Je,eus Christ: Another of the goed fruits of theSunday School was that it had done more to diffuse a healthy Christian liter- ature than anything else. He was some- times astonished at the ingenuity and talent which were expended in the pro- duction Of books for children. This was the best antidote for the yellow -covered literature which was still too plentiful. The Sunday School tasked vigorous, ac- tive Christians. The Sunday School movement opened a new field for earnest Christian men and women, and the result is that while benefiting others they are - profiting their own souls. hundreds and thousands can trace their first im- pulses of 'Christian life to Sabbath achools. There yet remains a great deal to be done. Only. one-half of the children of School age in the Province were under Sunday School influence. it would require the ex.ertion of great zeal before all the children in the country are reached. In the County of Huron, the second largest in Canada, we have about one hundred Sund.ay Schools, but there should be at least two or three hundred. As Christians it should be our earnest effort to plant a Sunday School wherever one can be needed. With more zeal we could have in this County three hundred schools, well equipped, with teachers. , Rev. Mr. Millard spoke on "The Re - 'lilts of Individual Labor in Sunday Schools." He said he 'supposed this was a sort of " experience meeting " tor teachers, and he would try to point out some of the msults -which had followed his own labors. is t fitst he was uot ais• posed to take pat t lb Sunday School WOrk.

Mr. :Lavelle spoke on "The Teacher's Reward." The poet Keats had desired that the epitaph On his tomb- stone should be "Here lies One whose name was writ in water." The names of Sabbath School teachers are written in something more enuring than brass or marble—in the hearts ' of the child- ren. If a man wants to be immortal, let him write his name on the hearts of his fellow men. The grandeur -of the re- ward might be, interred from the mo- mentous nature of the woik. To rescue the young- from temptatiOn, to 'control their passions and appetites and to save from -evil companions were the gland jects of Sundrty'School instructiOn. Who could estimate the reward of a teacher who saved. a child from being a dauna- ard, an adulterer or a Sabbath breaker? The Chairman then made a brief and appropriate address on " Waat 'have Leterned at this 'Convention," and was followed by Mr. Thotnson, Mr. Ham court,- Mr. ' Fisher, Mr. Millard and others on the same subject, until the honr for adjournment. er• • es Canada.
