SABBATH -SCHOOL WORK, NATES ON TSE •ottea'r IHTEa:i1TI0\ALa SUiU)AT sOHO0L CONVENTION HELD IN OIIIC.t0O, JUNE 1sT, 2Np -AND '3RD, 1887. Contributed by Mr J C Steveuaon, Clinton, a Delegate to the Coudeution. • The convention was called the fifth In- ternational, as the first was held iu Balti- more in 1875, Atlanta 1878, Toronto 1881., Louisville 1884, Chicago 1887; prior to this >yt. was called National, which was first held in New York in 1832. art WHERE TEE atEETING WAS HELD. The splendid Battery D Armory is a very Page building about square, with a large platform for speakers and singers, decorated with flags of the Union,and the Union Jaok, mottoes suitable for the occasion, evergreens, beautiful flowers and plants, large map of ' 'United States, and Canada, (but not full justice 't 0anadb-,t s, ..$coiled small). However we have larger areage. A fine pio- tuie of Geo Washington was at one end of the building, and painting of battles, a full statistics of Sunday School in all the States, territories and provinces of Canada, and of the world. Then we had standards with the names of States, Territories and Province,so yon could see the delegates as they sat under their respective standards, and easily know them. Ontario had the first place, right in frout of the speakers. -'The btiildiutH, hold about 6;000 people and would he Elle L at night. • SINGING AND SPEAKERS. The singing was led by Professor Excel, assisted by other singers, and organ and piano. The singing was beautiful and when all the people sang some of those old famil- iar tunes, why it was grand and made a per- son think of the singing that will be in "the sweet by -and -bye." Then there were over forty speakers to address the Convention,be- side the speakers on business and reading re- ports.. Some idea may/be had of the difficul- ty of the giving any just report of the proceed- ings in brief. DELEGATES AND VISITORS. There were over 1,000 delegates;' besides visitors. There were Sunday School work- ers from Alaska, where there are 35,000 Eaquimaux and 10,000 children, (only 1500 in Sunday school), where they have the, beautiful furs and fish. Then we had Cal- ifornia, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and all the way to Maine, with New York and nearly everyState and territory in the Union repre- sented. Then nearly every Province in Can- ada, but more from Ontario. Canada send- ing 26 delegates. One noticeable thing was this each speaker from the different States would have it that his State was the best. It is non -denominational and the central thought is •ORGANIZATION FOR EVANGELIZATION. ' with general topic, uniting, ingathering and npbuilding. Motto—"It is not the will of your father that one of 'these little ones should perish." Let us live for the children, taught by the Master, "Suffer the little children, etc." STATISTICS. In the United States there are about 10, 000,000, scholars, teachers and officers. In Canada 464,484. In England 6,400,000. Total 16,864,448. The total number in the world using the International lessons is -418,400,000. General Clinton B Fisk, of New York,was chairman, and had a very pleasant happy way of expressing himself, and he said he travelled here on the limited express and that he had unlimited time to think of this con- vention, and that in the ages past, the Rev DrEzra, Secretary of the Judea and Galilee Tract Society, occupied the same place, that Bro Jacobs did now, and Nehemiah, ill.; Re- form Mayor of Jerua;alem, was a prominent delegate at that convention. Amongst the number of speakers invited to take the plat- form were, Dr E P Goodwin, Mr E Nelson Blake, both of Chicago, who gave lie words of welcome, and certainly we were made welcome aiidtreated in the kindest manner. Denominationalism seemed all to be put aside, and we had many'warm shake hands and were saluted as brothers. Rev DrWith- row, of Toronto, responded to the addresses and said that there was a reciprocity that no government could hinder — Brother- �1y Love__•Hespoke_of_the kind feeling exist. ing between England and the United States; of'the sympathy shown by the later, when the' late PrinceConsort died,aud how we felt in Ca7Yada when -a Lincoln and a Garfield passed away. Other speakers addressed the convention on the topic, but a pleasing fea- ture just here Was the introduction of an okl gentleman to the audience -Liter/. Dr 5 F Smith, author of "My Country 'tis of Thee," following the applause and waving of hand- kerchiefs, he read the first and last stanzas, which were sung with great enthusiasm, the aged man leaning. on his staff through the performance. Then in kindness to Canadians present, we all sang God save the Queen, with great spirit, and a cablegram was sent to the Queen congratulating her on her 50th anniversary and jubilee. uf0ANIZXNG NEW SC1f00Ls. Great interest was taken in llearin' the speakers from the far -west and north-west of the' United States, giving an account of the work in the new districts. The order p, seemed to be first a Sunday School, then a •church, then a day school. The pioneers in this work belong to the American Sunday School Union, which does not start a deno- minational school at all ; some of the new settlers are anxious to have a Baptist or Me- thodist School, but at first it must be a union school. Sometimes they start a school in a salopn, some Dicier some,trees or in the open air ; sometimes they borrow some -bar- rels and put boards on themlo commence with; but greatugood has be dole in the" fat west, bringing the boys and girls to the schools, as well es the parents. This is one of the great works of the Organization ---to start Sabbath Schools wherever they can, and where they cannot, have home schools, where the family study the International lessons. One of the great evils they had to contend against was intemperance, and the convention was very strong in its denuncia- tion of the liquor traffic. PIUM.kltl' ('LASS woltlt. One session was taken up in FarewellHall on this work, the speakers all being ladies, who gave some splendid points in Primary Class teaching, with illustrations on the blackboard. Mrs. Crafts, Mrs. Ostrander, Mrs Kennedy and others, spoke and gave hints and illustrations, which Primary teachers benefitted by very much. SCII.IIARY. Taking the convention as a whole, it was a very important one. Such a deep interest was taken in Sunday School work, and as the Chicago Inter:Ocean in an cditorinl,eaid: "It had no equal as a convention ; there was never one held in Chicago of more interest to the nation, having in its hands the destiny of nearly ten million souls. What a power to wield in a nation for good." The speaking was very practical, and the ',Main object held up to view was —bringing the children to the Saviour. Tine great ben- • efit of starting right in life was well illustra- tea• by one of the speakers taking the fact of twe railroad tracks in New York, only six inches apart. If yon got on oxe train it ran you west to California; on the other, away oast, landing 3,000 miles apart, So let us teach the boys an girls to start right by coming under thegospel's infltence. The Convention closed about half past ten ou the third day, and we parted feeling w had been in the company of the best men an women perhaps on ,this continent, engaged in the great Sunday School work and to g to our homes with fresh zeal, and to la on in the master's cantle. 14041 BUT 1 SAIIIVATED HIM:" was the actual exelamatioa of a physician, spoken of one of hie patients to whom he had given calomel for the pure of bilionsneessnd a diseased liver.

That the influence of salt on the quality of the butter to which it is added is not confined to the imparting of a salt flavor, has long been admittv'il:-A fetv-tests were undertaken during the season of 1886, at the Agricultural College Creamery, from which it was expected that conclusions useful for the guidauce of butter -makers could be drawn ; but little steady light is thrown by them on the disputed point as to which salt is the best for preserving butter. Many defects in quality, recog nized after the lapse of time and which -have been attributed to the use of unsuit- abteesalt,'eilihave to be laid at the door of some othi;i edition or cause. On August 1 several lots of butter were weighed from one churning and salted with salt of as many different brands, at the rate of one ounce per pound of butter. On August 18 the same was done with the butter from another churning. OnAugust 15 and 21 two tests were pre- pared for, in a like manner, with the use of three quarters of an ounce per pound of butter. On August 26 and September 3 a rate of half an ounce of salt per pound of but- ter was applied in the same way. From four to six lots of butter were weighed from the same churn, on each of these six occasions. The butter was packed in tin -lined tubs and kept where the temperature was pur- posely made to fluctuate from 49 ° to 50 ° Fahr., to try its keeping_qualities. The Canadian makes of salt used were Coleman's, Kidd's, Rice's and Roger's; the English makes used. were Ashton's and Higgins'. At the convention of the Ontario Creameries Association held in Toronto n March, 1887, F W Fearman, Esq., Hamilton, Jaynes Park, Esq., Toronto,and Thomas Johnstone, Esq , Toronto, were appointed a Committee of Examination. The judging was deferred till 22ud and 28th March. The different lots were known to the judges by numbers only, there be - ng no indication on the tubs as to the kind_ors;.uantity..ofsal t..used._ -The object- of the judging was to arrange in thelorder of their. merit the different tubs in each of Irons the one churning. There was the widest difference of opinion in some cases among the judges as to therelative merits of the different tubs in' the same lot. Some butter salted with every one of the different brands of alt was awarded by merit the first place 11 at least one of the several comparisons. No one kind'showed such superiority over he other, on the average of tire -tests, as o deserve special mention. The average merit of the Canadian salt was Slightly Iigher than that of the English, but the verage loss of weight by the addition of alt and working was slightly in favor of be English article. In a comparison as to the qualities of he butter from usine'.diflerent quantities f the same salt in several lots from one hurning at the end of six months, the utter salted three-quarters of an ounce to he pound Was placed first; one ounce to he pound second; one half ounce to the ound third ; one and a quarter ounces to he pound fourth; one-quarter of au ounce o the pound last and very inferior. 111 cases where the salt was slow of dis- olying and where the butter had. beeu eft without the addition of fresh brine,the esultant porosity of body caused it tn; p:, ff in 'flaw: Contact between the salt -plaster and the 'ood of the tub covers seems to convey nd impart a woody flavor to the top of he butter. 1 would recommend— I.
