CONVENTION
Of Class Leaders and Local Preachers,
of Goderich District.
HELD IN THE METHODIST CHURCH,
CLINTON.
A (Invention of Class Leaders and
Local Preachers of the Methodist
Church, of the Goderich District, was
held on Wednesday and Thursday,
Feb. 24th alici 25th. A large number
of Local Preachers, Class Leaders and•
others, were present. It euurmerrced
with devotional servicii and organiza-
tion. The first question brought up
was the "Relation of Class Meetings to
the Spirituality of the Church," by
Rev. J. Harris, of 13reeseIs. Examine
yourselves, he said, whether ye be in
the faith or not. Christ administered
rebuke to his duciples, sic.; others said
on this point, " the old sheep lead the
Iambs to the good pasture." It is not
good fora Leader to speak of his lean-
ness and failings. .A real Godly luau
will want to relate his religious ex-
perience, so as to give an impetus to
others. The out.growth of the feelings
of the heart has caused the class meet-
ing to become a necessity ; it has not
been backed on to Methodism ; the
love of God in the soul trust come out
in some way. Christian fellowship L.
a duty, as well as prayer and faith.
Some think the church it a garden,
.vhere every flower is perfect --bat Dr.
Williams had 'learned that it -was ttf
hospital; where health and • care -are
needed. Some aro' very emotional—
they are converted in their feelings,
l ut their cou'eiences need convr'rsio;i.
The class helps.' to make our religion
'move positive, and less emotional:
" Local Pt•eaeehers, a necessity in the
!Methodist Church," by Jas. Caswell, of
Londesboro. Ho said American Meth- I
edisni is indebted to Local Preachers.
Its spread requires them; they are
needed as a feeder •to the Itoneracy,
needed in revivals. Our people are
unreasonable in their expectations from
Local Preachers. 'l'hc bread most be
served up in a silver tray, or it is not
palatable. It is a Divine call ; local
preachers originated with the Metho-
dist Church ; our laymen have this
liberty to use their gifts. It is now 90
years since urethodisin was introduced
into Canada.
The riermon by Dr. Williams that
flight was an excellent one, on " Ex-
perimental Religion.° A fellowship
meeting took place immediately after-
wards.
"Readings for Class Leaders and
Local Preachers," by Rev. •N. Smithof
Kippun. Wo can't read everything.
The more we become acquainted with
a hook, the more readily we can appro-
priate what is in it. The one Book to
be read, above all—the Bible—For
doctrine, the second Catechiser. West -
mitts iutroduetion to the Now Testa-
ment, Field's hand book of Theology,
and . biography of Abigal Frances
Havergell.
" Methods of Leading Classes," by
Rev. W. Bryers, of Winghaui. There
must be variety iir'•seleeting others to
help. It is well sometimes to get
the members to speak. "Qualifications
of a Class Leader." The first claw=
meeting was held by Toho, "-
1739. They flee .
ants; they stand as sentinels •at the
door of the Church, which is. a very
responsible office, A Leader, by the
grace of God, should be able tel control.
himself, and not give+c'ay to passions.
The lambs of the flock -are given.into
his hands. Full cousecratiou, ready
utterance—the . bapt:sur o£• the Holy
Ghost, the great qualifications requisite.
"Causes of decline in •attending
Blase," by Rev. D. G. Sutlterlaiel,'1.3;I?.;
of Clinton. Soule Class Mvotiugs are
not as interesting apd protitajle• as
others. It is like, a ward n, tllii, hos,
pita!, just the plate, to •promote rtpirit-
ual health. and cure. Tho object•is to
help us to work out Mir own•salvittion
and, to help one another, 'A num
guilty of inconsistencies does not care
to go to class meeting.

of a Local Preacher," by -11,0x, 1Vu1.
