terest, however, seemed centred on the
• men who started from scratch, Messrs.

THE AFTERNOON SESSION
was devoted largely to the reading and
disscussing of papers on appropriate
subjects, the first being two papers on
"The Catechism as the Basis of Church
Teaching," and "Qualifications of a
Sunday School Teacher," by Mr. Robin-
son, of Wroxeter. In these hp urged
the prime necessity of teaching the
catechism, neglect of which was one of
the causes for absence or neglect of
the holy communion.
The second paper, by Mrs. Foster, of
Wingham, was on "Children's Services
and how to conduct them." A fe w of the
suggestions were : The children should
be catechized by the rector, say once
every quarter, in the church ; respon-
sive services should be used, either
from the church service or based on
the liturgy. These services require
music, prayer, addresses. The first
should be bright hymns and tunes
easilysung and understood; the pray-
ers might be taken from the collects of
the prayer hook, suitable for the child-
ren •, and the addresses should be given
by the minister, and should be illustra-
tive and simple after the example of
the Great Teacher. The benefits of
such services will be mutual to children,
teachers and parents.
The third paper was on "Parental
Responsibility," by Jaines Armstrong,
of Varna. In it, he said "honrn" was
the making or marring of the lives of
many people ; no power in the world
could lead the children's thoughts to
higher realms than "mother." Parents
should not only teach their children to
pray, but also pray with them and
lead such a life themselves that
they may be good examples to follow.
Teach the children that. God is a God of
love.
Rev. Mr. Turnbull, of Goderich, gave
the fourth paper on "The Bible Class."
Each paper brought fortis lively and
profitable discussions, that evinced a
deep interest on the part of the con-
vention.
The following questions were put and
discussed generally : "How to teach
the Infant Class," and "Promotions itt
the School."
On the invitation of the Dean th'
next annual convention will be held in
Seitforth.
Officers of the Association were then
elected as follows. : Hon. pres., the
Rural Dean;. pres., thesrector of the
place in which the convention shall be
held ; vice-president, Mrs. Foster,
Wingham ; recording secretary, Rev.
L. W. Diehl, Holmesville ; correspond-
ing sec., Miss Brown, Seaforth. The
convention adjourned after a most
successful and encouraging beginning.
In the evening a special service was
held in the church, the congregation
beiug very large. The musical pro-
gramme was very finely rendered, and
choir master Dowding and his as-
sociates well deserved the hearty praise
given thein in the vote of thanks pass-
ed in the chapter meeting. The ser-
mon by the Dean VMS an admirable dis-
course on music and praise in their re-
lation to the church service.
THE CHAPTER MEETING.
The quarterly meeting of the De-
cants' Chapter on 'Wednesday war pre-
ceded by Holy Communion at 8 a. 111.,
the proceedings of the chapter beginn-
ing at 10 o'clock, and continuing until
one. Amongst the business transacted
was the adoption of the constitution
used by St. George's .Guild, which is
now recommended to all the parishes
as the basis for organizations for
church work. The proprietyjof comply.
ing more fully with the church rules for
performing marriages and baptisms in
the church instead of at private
houses, will be brought up at the corn-
ing meeting of the Synod. The con-
gregation of St. Stephens were recom-
mended to have a deputation interview
the Bishop while in this section a few
weeks hence, with a view to having a
permanent pulpit supply. The general
opinion was that both the convention
and the chapter meeting were amongst
the most successful gatherings in the
history of the diocese.—Star.
