(d) He should have snuch to do in Selecting teachers. (e) He should aid the teachers by. assisting them to prepare the lesson for the sum eeeding Sabbath; this can very well be done at the weekly prayer meeting. (f) To do all in his power to fill teachers, pupils and patents with a love for Sab- bath school.wark, and bring himself into full sympathy with the young by culti- . vating their acquaintance and love. (g) To be present on all occasions when pos- sible, and thus make all feel that his lively interest is there. (h). He should assist in the quarterly lessons. This introduction was followed by a good discussion on the part of delegates, all agreeing in the main with the views expressed by Mr. Miller. "The use of helps in the study of the lesson," was the next topic, introduced by Rev. Mr. Caniere and Mr. Shaw. MX. Carriere said that many of the ob- jections urged against the use of helps —not strong instances—were that it tended to set. aside the study of the Bible. Tooninch reliance was placed in the helps and inept teachers and others Ite' th'ke exercise of independent thought. The i best students : do not understand all doctrine, they need helps. The pastor finds it necessary to use them, why not the teachers and scholars. Teachers like to be sure that they are teaching in accordance with God's word. if geed helps are pro- vided, uniformityof teaching is. secured. As to the kind of help for the teacher, the speaker thought that, if Possible, every one ought to be furnished with a commentary and a concordance. Mr. Shaw followed, saying that it seethed to him that we could not go back on our record—it was an almost universal cus- tom to use helps •in the study of the lesson. The question to decide was to use great discretion* in the choice of material. He deprecated very. much the use of the helps by the teachers or scholars in the school. _ The next stibject discussed was, "The importance of the Shorter Catechism in the Sabbath School." Rev. Mr. Forrest said this was a matter of great import- ance. The objection that the tendency was to usurp the place of the Bible, had no weight—the words were taken from the Bible ; aid it explains the Bible; it ought to be taught early in youth; it brings the important . truths into narrow compass. He deplored that it was not more studied f in the home and school.- It should' be seen that it was studied in the home ; the matter ought to be brought home promi- nently to the minds of the parents by the pastors. Rev. Mr. Ramsay next spoke, combatting the objection against teaching a summary of the Bible. The Bible in this !respect is not like other literary works—there are soMe truths more important than others: He show- ed that it is impossible to catch the fundamental truth S into concise state- ineuts—the reason for the catechism— instructionfor the young. , A summary to be of use must be accurate and syste- matic. Its accuracy, sharply defined, is shown ,by its history ; it embodies the result of discussions for more than a thousand years previous to its promul- gation, founded an the Confession of Faith as a model; the constitution of the Westminster Assembly is also a narantee of its accuracy. It is syste- matic in showing the relation of one doc- trine to another, how they fit 'together, etc.; the fundamental truths are set out _of these alone. -He hurriedly ' sketched the work, showing its symmetry and beauty. The catechism ought to be studied thoroughly in the higher classes; care ought to be taken to dwell upon the questions ' and compare the same -th scripture. The subject elicited a •;_ • kited discussion by a number of the elegates. "The best methods of obtaining a prosperous Sabbath School." Rev. Mr. usgrave said there prevails in some uarters a very defective notion that a large number of children, a , large lib- rary, big entertainments, &c., constitute prosperity herein. The prosperous s hoots are these which have. for their Rd the doing of God's works., We have evangelize the world, our prerogative is to teach the truth, to bring influence to bear upon' the hearts and minds of the young. The materials needed- are living en and womenwho can sympathize with the young ; he that hunibleth him- self is great ; num and women of grace, of common s nse. Above all things pestiferous cranks must be kept out of -h e schools. There must be men and N omenof self denial and *cal. The Material having been secured', the next . uestiou is how to go to work with it. , o mere method will secure a good school. There must be method as to time, as to order of proceedings.- There est be individual co-operation, of- 4ii cers, pastor and parents working to - ether. Bev. i Mr. McCoy :—The object f the school should be to get the chil- dren instructed in Bibical knowledge. i lethods cannot be uniform. They must e varied to meet cireurnstances. There onght tobecomfortable places, and e urtesy upon the part of teachers.

McLean -1, Pointe as to how to get children interested—teach them to pray for the: missions, to give something at a very Varly age. 2, En- -lighten the children at as early an age as possible; secure for, them current missionary correspondence; cultivate a missionary atmosphere in the home. • Mr. J. Mitchell, of Goderich, in a very practical and instructiire' address, showed how the cause of missions could be aided by the disposition of old Sab- bath School literature, and gave some illustrations ofevhat good can be effected in this way, by showing what had been done, and what was being done by • Knox church Sabbath School, at Gode- rich. The convention was closed with the benediction: The discussions through- out were well sustained and the interest of the delegates who well kept up. The Rev. Mr. Stewart was appointed to suc- ceed Mr. Millet as convener of the Sun- day,School convention. • /3 Rev. E.

Comncin DOINOS.—At the. first meet- ing of the newlY elected council of Morris, Mr. Wine Clark was re-elected clerk at a salary of $120 ; Mr. John Watson as: sessor at $80 and no extras, and Mark Cardiff and W. H. Cloakey were ap- • -pointed auditors... It was resolved to pay each d the deputy returning officers at the recent elections $6, and the trus- tees of each of the schools in which elec- tions were held $3. Councillor Howe was instructed to ie t the job of putting new stringers on Riehmond's bridge on the 9th concession. After passing a number of accounts the council adjourn- ed until the 22d of February. Sucuessnua:—It seems that some of our rural schools have been fairly suc- cessful at the entrance examinations. No. 7, Morris, has five successful out of five candidates for exaininetion.—No. 2, Tunsberry, has 'added seven to the sue; cessful list during 1885.- Very well for rustics—rustic by location, but by no means "rusty " educationally. The ratepayers of the sections are reported jubilant over these figures, and think . the results would compare very favor- ably with sonie of our graded. schools. We, ourselves, consider the issue very good, considering the teachers have had toteaeh the A B 0" as well as the en- trance class. Goderich. ITEMS OF INTEREST.—The County Council for Huron met in -the Court House on Tuesday. The full force, was present. On Tuesday afternoon they met tEappoint a Warden. Two gentle- men were proposed, ,Mr. Ratz'_•(Re- former,) and Mr. Kaye (Conservative.) On a ballot being taken the vote stodd, Mr. Ratz, 26, and Mr. Kay, 24.

Mr. Ross speaks in glowing terms of 'Uncle Sam's dominions. It is over a quarter of a century since he bade adieu to his Canadian home.

BIIIIIDING.—Mr. Ball, our enterprising cabinet maker -and furniture deal+r, is meking preparations for the erection of a brick block early in the sprint.

" Maurer and Brown, of the Evangelical church, are conducting a series of special services in their church. The meetings 'have already been pro- gressing two Weeks, and a number of young people have •" come forward." We hope that the meetings may be suc- cessful and that an abundance of good may follow the labors of the reverend gentlemen. 1 Ierrnovised.—We are glad to learn . that Mrs. Weseloh, the wife of Mr. August Weseloh, one of • our , molt esteemed sitizens, is improving, and al7. though slowly, we trust surely. She has had a very severe 'illness, and Mr. Wm- loh has the sympathy of his neighbors in his aftlictidn.—Mrs Henry Guenther, who had the misfOrtune to have his arm broken by the kick of- a horse is also improving as rapidly as can be expected under the cirournstances. Stanley. THE REEVESHIP.—MR. saw in THE EXPOSITOR that Mr. Tor- rance denies through your • -paper that he was the nominee of that political Meeting which was held et _ Varna previous to the nomination. Well, I wonder at Mr. Torrance being so bold, for he truly knows that he was the one appointed at that meeting to be the reeve of Stanley, and for certain reasons which he knows best himself. But if he still persists in denying the statements, sufficient proof can be given to clear up the facts. Now it can be proved out of his own mouth thet he was the one appointed. I have got his own words for it, and other proof a be- sides, which I think will clear up. the whole matter. All the Conservative members of the council were present at the meeting. One Grit happened to', go in and he heard Pat Kelly making a a speech, and this is what he said: " Pick your men and then stick to them, and elect them .in Spite of the Grits." Now, if Mr. Torrance wishes the proofs he Can kayo thein and the names of the parties besides. By giving this a little space in your paper you will oblige, yours,--Hosson. BRIGHT. A GOOD TIME.—On Thursday even- ing, 21st inst., a number of invited guests assembled at the residence of Mr. John Ross, London Road. There were in all over eighty, comprising both old and young. Pleasure seemed -to be each one's sole object in thus assembling. The instant the chords of the violin were struck a number were on their feet "tripping the light fantastic toe." This was ccyntinuml with scarcely a pause until lunch was announced, when all re- paired to their seats, and partook of -a most sumptuous repast prepared by Mr. Ross' fair young daughters. The most fastidious had their appetites ap- peased, and the inner masa was suffici- ently strengthened for enjoying a few more hours' fun. While the young en- joyed 'themselves in this manner, tne old folks spent the hours in social diet, and oh! what a merry crowd were We. But the held of friends must part. The stars twinkled less vividly, and those faithful domestic fowls that tell -of the approach of day were operating on the auricular portions of the upper story, and all knew that the hour of departure had come. Accordingly all returned to their seyeral.hornes,sorry to part,but happy to meet again.
