The proceedings were niterest- iue and instructive and the addressee, as rule, practical and. to the point. The President, Mr. Robert Lumsden, of Sea - forth, occupied the chair. The delegates were heartily welcomed_ on behalf of the people of Wingham in short and appropriate addresses by Rev. • Mr, McQuarrie and Rev.

S. Rupert, Clinton.; Chas. Girvin, Wawanosh, and John Lean, Dungannon. The superintendents of the several Sabbath Schools- of the county then gave verbal reports of the standing and work of their respective schools for the past year. These reports were very encouraging aid show the schools to be in a prosperous condition, and also that a good and noble work is being done among the young. The several subjects on the pro- gramme were afterwards taken up and discussed, as follows : "The relation of _ the superintendent to Sabbath School workers, introduced br Mr. R. McKenzie, Goderichfirst, the superintendent of a Sabbath School should be a converted inan, and one who loves God with all his heart. Of our- selves we are weak, and must ask for strength from God. He must be a man of mental qualification, of good habits and a stria total abstainer, and haring nothing to do with the weed called: to- bacco. The superintendent needs the sympathy and affection of the offi and teachers. He must have order patience, and be able to take charg of the teachers' meeting, for by so doing he will be able to judge of the fitnesS of teachers for their Work. It is not neces- sary to have a great talker, a few werds to the paint is Sufficient. - " If the superintendent would have success he must be an enthusiast"- The subject was spoken to by Messrs. lurch, D. D. Wilson, C. Yates, W.- M. Cray, J. C. Stevenson, Revs. E. S. ltupert, Burwash and W. Johnston. The' relation of the leaders of song to successful Sabbath School work." In- troduced by J. W. Arnistrong, of God- MuSic will reach the heart when nothing else will, we know not where the influence of singing will end. The leader of song should be.a Christian'and a. man of much prayer, make special se- lections and pray over them. The leader a song should have a natural as well as acquired ability, and be a than of good judgment and choose such hymns as are adapted to the lesson, especially the closing hymn. Every scholar should have a book and the leader should see that the scholars sing. He should be a kind man. Discussion on the topic by Revs. Ross (Brussels), E. S. Rupert, R. H. Bleck, Messrs. D. ft Wilson, M. Eacrett, Chas. B. Harris. In discussing, the matter was empha- sized, that the leader of song should be enthusiast. The relations of the librarian and secretary to successful Sabbath &hoed work." Introduced. by Mr. R. Irwin, of Clinton. The speaker would hare as large a library as possible, and although scone books may get into the library which, as old folks, we do not think tussah of, but they may' do good, and uow where we can get valuable litera- ture in the cheap library form, keep the library complete, and renew as often as pesaible. The successful school will have its regular collections, and have the amount of each class .announced to the school. Discussion on the topic was taken part in by Revs. Burwash, 11 McQuarrie, E. S. Rupert, Messrs. John laitchie, D. La Wilson. From the dis- eussion we learn that special committees for selecting proper books, arenecessary, and that it would not always be well to get the books that would tust suit the h ild. TUE EVEN1Nu SESSION. The evening session was opened by a ahort address. from the president, after w hich Rev. Mr. Smyth, of Britssels address- ed the convention on the subject "Why and How the Home should help the Sabbath School." Re said the responsi- bilities of home are personal. Every home ought to be a Christian home. The home and sehool are fellow workers,' and to: frequently we forget that child- ren ought to be converted. The home tind school should combine _together for the salvation of inankind. The home ean help the school by proper home dis- cipline.. The commandment, "Honor thy father and mother" must be taught to every child if they would go out to become an influence for good. The parexit ought to take the child to school and become a part and parcel of the :whoa by seeing that the lesson is stud- ied carefully at home, and by giving cordial support and help to the superin- teadent and teacher, also by seeing that the children Env regular in attendance and punctual. The example of living Christianity on the part of parents, the prinoiples of the Sunday School lesson will tell lunch on the hearts of the child- ren. The address throughout was prac- tical and enthusiastic and one which sho-uld be very helpful. ers 'nd • which so frequently touch the heart as nothing else could. The influepce of a Sunday School scholar devoted to Christ • can never be told. • . . The topic, "The Homes of the Bible.' was spoken to by Rev. ft. McCosh, Wingham. The homes where the bible • is honored andtreasured are many and the officers of Christian character should stimulate the members by the many victories achieved through Christianity. It will be well for us to look more upon the bright side of Christianity than the dark, the bible is finding its way in all _ • the homes. rt is encouraging .to know that the Bible Societies have emulated over one hundred and set-enty millions of bibles. There are thousands and thousands of homes. that have been made • glad through the bible. The book of God is published to -day in two hundred and tixty-seven different languages and dialects. The bible is unparalleled in its strength and power, and none of the powers against it can ever stay its prd- greis. Wherever the bible is circulated you find free and happy homes and the mightiest nations of the World is where the bible has found ite way. It -is to be found in all corners of 'the earth and is effecting the grand purpose which God designed it should. The bible is the master key and will unlock the hardest hearts, it is two edged. and will cut its way through superstition, idolatry and infidelity. The address was a Fend holding of the "grand old book, and the association owes much to the eloquent speaker for his excellent ad- dress. • . - This closed the proceedings of ?e first day. WEDNESDAY MORNING. After half an hour spent in devotional exercises and the ordinary • routine opening proceedings, the regular session was opened at 9;30. The first • subject _taken up was "The teaeher •ID and out of the school," introduced by Mr. Wm. Grigg, jr. The subject is a comprehensive one; lst, whit is meant by the word teacher? an instructOr. • The teacher must have love for hisischol- - ar, be punctual and regular, and able to welcome the scholar, and on no account ever absent yourself from the school un- less providing a subititute. Have an object, and be in sympathy with the lesson. Commence the study of the les- son early in the week, and always take God. with you. The teacher, out of the school, should be consistent, and always abstain from "the very appearance of evil." The question was spoken to by J. W. Armstrong, J. C. Stevenson and C. Yates. Hymn, "Rescue the perish- ing." r "The benefits of a weekly teachers' meeting for the study of the lesson," was introduced bY Mr. W. -M. Gray, Seaforth. The weekly teachers' meeting _la a means of grace, as God's blessing is first asked; the teachers' defects are made known, and help can be 'given. by the Superintendent. The best of pre- paration is, necessary for every teacher, and the speaker thought the most effi- cient way of acquiring such preparation was the weekly teachers' meeting, by having such meetings a variety of s ide I are presented, and the best means adop - ed. The speaker, from experience, • would urge the convention to establish • the weekly teachers' meeting, and by giving ourselves wholly to the Lord, success will be sure to follow. Discus- • sion on the topic was taken part in by • T. Murch, M. Eacrett, Rev. W. John- ston, D. D. Wilson, J. W. _Armstrong, Rev. W. Birks Bev: 11. MeQuarrie, John Ritchie, Birks, It. McCosh, J. C. Stevenson, W. J. Clarke, and Mr. Bexi- gougla The discussion was anim'ated i and' lively, and brought forth many good ,ideas. 1 • "Sabbath school interest in mission- ary wort," was introduced by Rev. W. Johnston, Goderich. The church f Christ -is aggressive, and the Sabba school is a missionary organization.' T mission work needs the Sabbath schoo and the Sabbath school the work, but ris yet only a small Part of the world is chr-A- • tianized. If the Sabbath school would be • alive to this- work, they inust have finan- cial interest in it. Let every branch Of • the church take up a monthly missionT ary collection. in the Sabbath school. _The church of the future will be one . that infuses this missionary spirit in the • hearts of their children. The pa.per suggested many excellent ideas in refer- • ence to mission work; and statistics as • to juvenile offerings _in the different churches were -made known. Mr. Road- house mentioned a good work being done in a. mission school in his section.' OFFICERS APPOINTED. • The nominating coinmittee reported, recommending the following officers for the current year: President, Dr. W. B. Towler, Winghain ; Vice -Presidents, R. Luinsden, Seaforth, D. Tiplad-y, Clinton, T. McGillicuddy, Goderich, J. -Thorn- son, Clinton. Executive Committee - D. D. Wilson'Seaforth, H. McQuartie, Blyth, N. 11.Young,Blyth, G. A. Keit, Wingham, W. M. Gray, Seaforth, and resident ministers of Blyth. General Secretaries -J. C. Stevenson and A. Ii _ Manning, Clinton. Minute Secretary": W. J. Clarke, Exeter. Thie report was adopted, is was also the report of the Secretary•Treasurer, which showed a balance of $5 in the treasury. It was decided to hold the next Convention in the village of Blyth on the second Tuesday and Wednesday b. , in February, 1887, It was also suggest- ed that the ladies be invited to take part in the next Convention. The topic. " Why and how the ,San- -day School may help the home„" was pre-, senttd-by Lt D. Wilson, Seaforth. The apeaker would, not allow any parents to think the Sunday School would ,take ziees responsibility from them, beeasise their alliance it: necessary.. The: Suaday. Selsool helps.: the home in a systOrstic- study of the scriptures, because the "In- ternational , lessons," are of suoh a nature,. as that system and order form a large part. The Sunday SehoeI is an iA- centive to the hOtite in. causing the pa- rents to study and help the scholars. The frequent visits of teachers to the home of scholars, would, create a love and soeial• affection, which could not be gained in any Other way. The Sunday School helps the home in furnishing good literatare, and also in 'introducing the beautiful Sunday School hymns I I The next subject; introduced was "Children at publis worship," by Re'. G. F. Salton, of Goderich. The child- ren ought •to have their place in the sanctuary, and special_ preaching fel- them as they are susceptible to the truth. The speaker thought that the children had no part of the service f'o- them. and thus the carelessness of So many to -day in having no love for the public service. Short -sermons before the general service will he the best means to get children to attend public worship. The result of such notice be- ing given to the children is that they get a liking for spiritual things, and it also, helps the minister to simplify his address. The great church of the future will be for all ages. The subject WitS speken to Revs. W. Craig, Ross, R. McCosh, J. S. Cook, (Bluevale.) T le 1i, iscussion brought out many new phas s f thenuestioa. Messrs. D. D. Wilson and W.. ,.1.-- ray presented a brief report of the rovincial Sabbath School Association n carrying out its work, and said that unds were necessary antl. that; the ounty of Huron was asked for $100, to chore the Provincial Executive, and, a st was immediately drawn and $81 eadily subscribed, and a guarantee for the balance being sent to Mr. • D. J): , Wilson, of Seaforth, treasurer of the . fund. ,, - • CHILDREN'S MASS MEETING. - , On Wednesday_ afternoon -a thaw 'meeting -of the Sabbath School children • of the town Was held, and was a very interesting meeting. .The auditorium of the church was Well filled with children. The singing sys0 led by Professor Cline, of Hamilton, and Miss Houghton presid- ed at -the organ.1 Rev. Rural Dean Craig, of Clinton, addressed the neeting on "Christian _girlhood and boyhood." It is postale for each child to begin this ' Christian life now. Christ sets before us ex- amples of Obedience, courage, truthful- ness, parity; and although it may be bard at 'times ; to carry out all these • principles; yet if you would be Christian boys and Orli yen should remeMber, for your encourageMent, that our Saviour Jesus Christ, has trod every step of the rough way before you. "The privilege and. responsibility of children under i christianity," was ad- dressed by Itev.iW. Johnston, of Gode- rich. The first- thin, he would have all the children Ithankful for christian- ity,- and that we live in this time, when christian influences are all around us. The bible says t). great deal about Chil- dren, and Christ holds up a little. eh ild as an example of purity. We should try to get the hearts of the children- for ;Christ. Children are imitators, and ponstantly copying. Social instincts. are strong inchildren, and the hearts for Christ can'be, reached by recognizing . their little jOys. i Religious instinct is a i'art of ehild en'i nature, and the family r altar shoui ld he Shared by the children:: Teach. the c h ild that "God is love," and that he is lyearning for their hearts. Would not have the • children grow up. Without taking the . Lord !Jesus Christ for their Saviour.- -Very many -pleasant and suitable. illnstrations I were given, Which greatly interestedthe little folks. We look upon the masa meeting of children at Wingham as a grand and enthusiastic, gathering, and -hope the good from his source v411 be great.' The singing. • was - excellent, addresses suitable, and the audience 1 lappreciative. ' EVENII NO SESSION. . , , At the opening of the evening session the •retiring President introduced the new President and invited him to take the chair. . Dr. fowler, on coming for . ward, • apologized for being- taken so completely by surprise, and having no time to prepare a speech but as he takes a great interest lin • the Sunday. School work he wished it every success, but he felt Unfit to oecupy the high and honor- able position they had seen tit to elect him to this day. " The Sunday- School the - church's hope," was introduced by Thomas. Mc- Gillicuddy. • The Sunday. School is the acheol of Christ. 4 I like to hear a Sun- day School teacher who is enthusiastic, as it always makes me feel good. The Sunday School- takes much of the work ' off -the pastor's !shoulders. It stirs up teachers and offieers to a careful study of God's blessed book. It aids ' the church in missionary . work. It is --a leader of the prayer- meetings.. It -wins . souls for Christ early in life. The ma- jority of our teaChers are women, "God ble.ss them." Ti e Sunday School ie . a kind Of side dc. or, where women Can enter the churchwhere they do noble work. We are to depend -upon the Sun- day School morethan the pulpit that the rising generations may be strong temperance advocates. . - "The bible our country's safeguard," • was spoken to by Rev R. McCosh, ,of Winghaan'CV. J. S. Cook, Bluevale, and J. C. SClinton. Because! God is the author Stevenson,it ; because Goa is perfect and his laVes are perfect; because it teaches- the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of mail. • The bible teaches obedience to .all that are in authority. What would thie world be without the bible. Our live e and property would not be safe, am when we ask for any other guide to sal through life With, it •means that we are going back. The bible, theonly b ok that appeals toall instincts of man. Man finds in the bible a friend, and- on.1 - by following its prin- ciples can ourrulers and laws be perfect. Tile bible makes a country more valu- pe ity. The principles of the bible ab e, and its onwardcourse means pros- . . should be the guide to all our rulers • it is a good companion, and it will be well for us to reniember John 3, 16.
