He advised teachers to read the lesson of the day carefully, -with context slid parallel passages, making use of all helps available, and asking God's,. help in prayer for guid- ance. Rev. J. Sieveright, B. A., Rev: A. Matheson, Mr. D. D. Wilson and others took part in the discussion that followed, and many additional ideas ;Were brought forward. The morning 'session then closed. The afternoon session opened. with de- votional exercises at 1.40, Five minute reports on the condition of Sabbath schools in the Presbytery and the con- versation on these reports took up the principal part of the afternoon session, as nearly all the schools in the county reported. Following this was an excel- lent address on the subject of teachers' meetings for the study of lessons, by, Rev. A. McLean, of Blyth. He said that the meeting should be in charge of the pastor, who should be prepared to answer all questions; bit in the discus- sions which followed many of the lay- men seemed to think the pastor should only be at the meetings on the same footing with the other teachers, and that he should. not have entire charge. Alter considerable time had been taken up in the discussion of this point, the next subject on the programme was in- troduced: "How to Make the Sabbath !School Attractive." As the gentleman —J. R. Miller,Esq.--expected to speak on this subject was absent, Mr. D. D. :Wilson took his place, and in the course of his remarks he said. the most impor- tant reqpisite was a prayerful, earnest, loving teacher; he was also. in favor of 'singing and -the use of Scriptural mot- toes on the walls, also blackboard. illus- trations. Rev. J. ieveright, Rev. A. Matheson, Rev. Mr. Brown and others took part in the discussion which fol- lowed, after which the Convention ad- journed. to meet again at 7 P. M. The evening session was opened with pryer by Rev. H. MeQuarrie, who then delitered a very able address entitled ." The Pulpit, Family and Sabbath School—their Relations.'" The rever- end gentleman illustrated. by saying that the Sabbath school bore the same relation to the church and. faxeilythat a child bears to the other members of his or her family. "How to Retain the Elder Scholars" was the subject allot- ted to the Rev. R. lire, D. D., but as that gentlenamn could. not attend the convention, he had obtained the con- sent of Rev. J. Sieveright to act as sub- stitute. . His address was brief and pointed. He Said the best way to re- tain the elder scholars was for the teacher to get thoroughly "posted" on the lesson, and then he or she would be able to make it interesting to scholars, and thus keep them- from going else- where for more interesting subjects. 1Rev. J. Sieveright also spoke on " sab- bath School Teachers, their Encourage- ments and Awards," and was followed by a most earnest and. able address from Rev. J. Pritchard, on "Sabbath School Teachers, their Work, Respon-1 sibilities and Difficulties." Farewell remarks were then made by Rev. Mr. Tolmey, Rev, G. ' Brown, Rev. Mr. Fletcher, Rev. M. Barr and Mr. D. D. Wilson, who took this opportunity to explain the blackboard. illustrations ex-, hibited in the church. On motion of Mr. A. Matheson, which motion was seconded. and. unanimously adopted, the thanks of the members of the Conven- tion were tendered to the trustees of ; the chtirli for the use of the building; to the precentor, the choir and the chil- dren for the singing, and to the people of Seaforth for their kind treatment of the delegates. After the benediction was pronounced the Convention ad, journed. The music was under the able eharge of Mr. Geo. W. Cline, as- sisted by the church choir and a num- ber of the Sabbath school children, and drew forth many plaudits from the au- dience. SrEci.u.

Should ho ever happen among us again we will warrant him our hearty support, which is not more than he deserves. . The rest of the perforria- ance was of a most excellent character and reflected great credit upon those who had the labor of preparing the same.

DR AUGHTS.—Mr. Editor—Sir your last week's issue of the EXPOSITOR, your Brucefield correspondent gives the result of the return match between the Brucefield and. Kinburn clubs. Nor is he satisfied with -giving the result, but comments in rather a humiliating man- ner on the Kinburn players, by stating that they (the Brucefield players) won the match, while three of their best players were absent: Methinks your correspondent shows a disposition simi- lar to one of the parties in ,the fable of the cat and the fox. Now, Mr-. Editor, had your correspondent been of the players, he certainly would have known that the -Milburn club did not have their best players at either of the matches, and if they had the result of the matches might have been very different.

The Dive Stock Sale.. • ' The auction sale of imported and thoroughbred stock, held at Clinton on Wednesday last, under the auspices of the Huron Live Stock Association, was, in some respects, a gratifying success, while in others it was not so successful as might be desired. There was an im- mense crowd of people in attendance, and there was a very large amount of excellent stock offered for sale in each class, but buyers were scarce end priced ruled low. The lack of buyers and. the difficulty to sell ma Y easily be acdowat- ed for however. Thi e was "the first sale held under the auspices of the As- sociation. Ibis a new thing, an experi- ment, in fact, and as yet the larger buy- ers have' not full confidence in the soh'lsrnerl This difficulty woUld be prin- cipally removed at 0, future sale. The second and. probably the greatest ob- stacle. in the way of buyers, was the ex- treme stringency of the times and' the scarcity of money, and the third, and. none less important obstacleeis the. fact that owners of stock refuse, as yet, to acknowledge the shrinkage in value of all kinds of stock as of other produc- tions. Stock, let it bo eyer so good, will not now sell for as nuch as it did two or three years ago, andiuntil stock owners acknowledge this fact and fix their prices to suit the times, they need not expect to effect sales. The days of fancy prices have gone by, in the Mean- time at least. 1 The arrangements of the sale were; very complete, and were carried out to the satisfaction of ell cengerned, and although the first sale has not been so successful in every respect as could be desired, yet the Association have no reason to feel discouraged. They have made a very fair beginning, and they should keep up their organization and. continue their annual sales. If they will do so, it will, no doubts at no dis- tant day, assume an importance and a . magnitude'and exercise an influence for good., which will rejoice the hearts of those,who may now- be despondent, and. do more than fulfil the expectations of the more hopeful.
