This with criticisms from different dele-
gates took up most of thetlaird session.
During the fourth session, commencing
at 2 P. M., Rev. H. •Gracey, of Usborne,
threw out kerne very valuable suggestions
on "Home Preparations for the Sabbath
School." He rePlied to the questions
how, when, and, by whom, can home
preparation be given, by saying that it
should be givenl by the parents. In-
stead of wasting the evenings in
chatting nonsense, if parents would only
gather their -children around them and
review the Bible lesson, it would not
only be instructive to the children, but
would help greatly to realize the,ideal of
a h.appy Christian home. He upheld
that if the Sabbath School diecounte-
nanced home preparation, it would be of
littleutility, and would be running in
the face of one of God's plans for Christ •
ian nurture. He then urged on the
teachbrs the necessity of coming with
their lessons prepared. It required
stimulants of the highest order to keep
them working, hut if their desire was to
save souls they Would look upon all labor
as light and easy. • He concluded by re-
marking that while they had- hopes for
the future they Were niet without present
reward, but that the enjoyment of their
own religious knowledge would reward
them tenfold for all their study and all
their labor. Rev. Mr. Griffin, of Sea -
forth, next addressed the delegates on
"Teachers meeting for study of lesson."
He was in sympathy with the object of
the meeting, because he looked. upon
Sabbath School work as one of the noblest
in which an intelligent being could be
7:30 P. M., at which all the children of
the neighboring Sunday Schools assem-
bled. Several addresses were delivered,
those of the retiring officers- and the
inaugural of Mr,, D. D. Wilson, the
President elect, being the most note-
worthy. Mr. Miller stated he had held
the office of President for five years, and
before retiring wished to express his
heartfelt thanks to the officers and mem-
bers of the Conveution for the support
they had given him, and hoped they
woul still extend. to his successor the
same assistance they had. ever given him.
Mr. Wilson thanked the members of the
Convention for placing him in such an
honorable position. It was one he had
never assumed, but as aa advocate of the
passing around of the honor of an insti-
tution of this kind he would accept it,
and hoped that with the aid of his col-
leagues he would fill the position satis-
