The Mail in June, 1891, spoke of Sir
Charles Tupper as being " the prince of
political oracksmen ; all that is worst
in the national character is familiarly
connected with his name, which may
be said to be a household word for cor-
r`t'lption. His word is that of a man
whose veracity is much impugned,who
does not scruple to use stolen letters,
and his appointment at the head of the
state would be the inauguration of
violence and corruption unredeemed
by any true wisdom or statesmanship."
And this is the same man which the
Mail calls upon its followers to fall
down and worship as the only capable
deliverer of its party from the slough
of despair.

The Principal's Report.
The following report was submitted
to the Public School Board at its last
meeting, by Mr Lough, the Principal :
GENTLEMEN OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
BOARD,—During 1895 the attendance
of some of our most troublesome pu-
pils was more regular.. This was owing
to the faithful discharge of duty by Mr
Welsh, the truant officer.
We lost one of the most eflicientpri-
mary teachers in Ontario when Miss A.
C. Taylor terminated her engagement
with the Board. Miss Gray is also
proving to be a very efficient teacher.
Miss Doherty and Miss Shepherd, who
have charge of the primary department
now, ate bidding fair to do good work,
and the attendance is much higher
than in December when pupils came
only a half day.
I have to report that twenty-three
pupils passed the entrance at midsum-
mer, and all the modelites (31) were
successful in December.
The, introduction of a fifth class for a
year or two will give a chance to grade
the higher rooms more thoroughly.
During the last two or three years too
many pupils passed the entrance, and
consequently, to 1311 the highest room
pupilshad to be moved before they
were fi -
few pu
have not
the next two years very
&ill ase the entrance, as we
its to prepare.
The vacant room should be seated so
that the little people may bo more ct.m-
fortable in the building heated by fur-
nace. Vv a need a map of the Dominion
of Canada, and one of Africa, if you
can afford them.
A great boon was conferred on the
school last year by the introduction of
an almost perfect system of ventilation
Had the system been introduced years
ago many pupils, who could not stand
the draft caused by opening windows,
would have received a much better
education. While the ventilation is, I
consider, the greathst boon, the heat-
ing is also a very, great improvement
on the old system. Formerly some
were uncomfortable because of too
great heat, and others uncomfortable
because of the cold. Teachers and pu-
pils should have better health and do
better work now.
I think it would be well if parents
refused to listen to tales carried horse
by children, as young pupils misund''er-
stand, and, therefore, misrepresent the
work and actions of their teachers. I
have had several instances in which
children made the most glaring mis-
takes in tales carried home. Parente
who instigate pupils to disobey their
teachers are doing both parties an ir-
trepar able injury.
Please instruct me regarding non-
residents. I believe if parents do their
duty in seeing that pupils do their
home work and that they attend
school regularly, we shall have a suc-
cessful year.
Respectfully yours,
W. R. LOUGH, Principal.

GODERWH DISTRICT
a Epworth
School andEpiworth
League Convention.
1��
The following is a condensed report
of the Convention held in Ontario St,
Methodist church, Clinton, on Jan,
'22nd and 23rd. Tbat the work of Sun-
day Schools -and Epworth Leagues
holds an iMpertaant position in the
minds of the people may be judged by
the large attendance of »»misters, dei-
egates and otters at this convention.
Onlfetwo ministers belonging to the
Goderich District were absent, one
throught illness, the other on account
of special work at Mime. The sub-
jects under consideration were ably
dealt with, and in general heartily
discussed. The sessions on Wednes-
day were devoted to the consideration
of Sunday School matter's. On Thurs-
day Epworth League subjects were
disposed of. Addresses and iscussions
are combined for convenience.
FIRST SESSION
The first session on Wednesday af-
ternoon was opened with a prayer and
praise service, which lasted for one
bout; it was led by Rev. J. W. Holmes,
chair'manlof the district. Mr Million,
of Goderich, inttoduced the subject
"The agency of the teacher in leading
to decision for Chr•istandchurch mem-
bership." Over 32,000 teachers and
officers teaching and training over
253,000 scholars in the Sabbath Schools
of the Methodist church must have a
great influence on the futureof this
country, as this army is to fll the po-
sitions of importance in both church
and state. They will be the authors of
books, editors of papers, preachers,
teachers and committees to prepare S.
S. lessons. How important then that
in their youth they shduld be trained
aright. S. S. conventions, through
the delegates, have a great influence
on the community; teachers have
greater advautages in leading children
to coesversion than the ministers, di;
they have so few to deal With and are
more constantly in tough with them.
Early in the week the faithful teacher
should begin the preparation of theles -
son for the next Sunday; first, by seek-
ing God's blessing on the study of the
work assigned and then using all the
helps that he can get bold of, hut re-
lying on the Bible more that, any of
the others. He should go to the clams
in a prayerful spirit and teach faith-
fully and practically, applying the
truth of the lesson to every ]ndividual
member of the class. {Visiting the
scholars and praying with and for
them will have a strong tendency to
lead them to Christ. When convert-
ed they should become members of
some live church, as outside of that
they are apt to stay. Teachers should
in all ways let their scholars know that
their first, their most intense and
eat nest desire is for their salvation.
Converted scholars should work to
save their claesmates.
Rev. S. J. Edmunds, of Dungannon,
being absent his subject, "The Agency
of the Holy Spirit in leading to de-
cision for Christ and church member-
ship," was discussed by those present..
We should honor the Holy Spit it in all
our work. The power of the Spirit
comes, not through the intellect, but in
answer to faithful prayer. The teaph-
e2, inspired by the Holy Spirit and
whole -hearted in his work rs sure of
success. God's holy Spirit shining in
his word and applying its truths to the
heart is the strongest agency that
exists, in winning souls to Christ.
Rev. W. T. Ford, Of Clinton; in die=
cussing "Home Studies of the lesson,"
named several works useful to the
teacher, but laid special Empbasis on
the- use of the Bible. A thorough
knowledge of the lesson is essential to
present the hest thoughts that it con-
tains. The subject assigned for Messrs.
Ford of Clinton and Bright of Seaforth
were combined for discussion, the lat-
ter gentleman being absent. The Holy
Spirit will not honor laziness, slovenli-
ness or carelessness on the part of the
teacher, and these habits were heartily
condemned. Parents are not relieved
of their responsibility by the S. S.
teaeher, and should when not able ter
attend S. S. themselves, take time to
study the lesson with their children.
EVENING SESSION.
A halt hour song ser vice was follow-
ed by the discussion of "Business
Meltiods as applied to S. S. Wo,k,"
introduced by Rev. S. Bond, of Sea -
forth. The church should use in -the
school the best workers available, and
should honor and encourage them by
supplying them with the best room
and apparatus necessary to success-
fully conduct the work of the school.
The primary object of S. S. work being
the conversion of the scholars, the
teacher should teach the doctrines,
facts, principles, morals, precepts, and
promises contained in the Bible, and
after conversion they should be edu-
cated in such a way as to make good
citizens. Teachers should show their
interest by regularity and punctuality
of al lendanc. A person thorougly inte-
rested in work for Christ will grow to
like the wog k and become more Chi ist-
like. We as christians must be volun-
tary workers for Christ.
An interesting, practical, and point-
ed address on "The Bible and how to
handle ft" was given by Rev. A. C,
Crews, Gen. Sec. of S. S. and E. L.
The Bible, the teacher's text book, is
an infallible guide revealing the will of
God and containing a message from
Him. It was written by different in-
spired men, at different periods, in
different countries, and in different
languages yet contains no contradic-
tions. Success or failure in S. S. work
depends largely on the use of the Bible
by the teachers. Read the Bible at
any time but more especially when the
mind is most capable of understanding
and appreciating the truths it con-
tains. Those who keep the Bible
always at hand and study it as for
hidden treasure will not -be disappoint-
ed. All should study the Bible dili-
gently and critically but not in a ern ic-
izing spirit. We should study the
books of the Bible to find the plan God
bad in their inspiration, aud study the
verses particularly to learn the troths
they contain. The Bible is the best
• literary work extant. The questions
in the question drawer wete answered
by Rev. S. Bond of Seaforth.
WEDNESDAY
• The sunrise prayer meeting, led by
Rev. J. Edge, was well attended, and
was a season of great spiritual bene-
fit to those who made it a point to be
, present:

and can give diel» ,rhe benefit of then'
experience and advice. Members of the
League should,, attend the general
prayer meetings as well as those of the
League. Members of the Quarterly
board should be made ex -officio mem-
bers of the Epworth League to bridge
over the seeming chasm between the
church and the League.
Mies S. Acheson's address on "For
what purposes should the League
raise money?" was well received. She
emphasized strongly the idea the
League should raise no money except
to pay its own ninnies expenses. The
League was never organized as a
money -making society, but simply and
solely to do spa itual work. Members
of the League shoull, as members of
the church, support the funds of the
church, but the money should be paid
directly into the fund not pass through
the League. Verbal reports of the
different Leagues in the district were
given showing favorable progress in
that part of the church work.

salvation of the young and in raising
them from death in sin to life in
Christ.
A resolution was passed authorizing
the Executive committee to arrange
the time and place of tire next annual
meeting and to prepare a program for
it. After a number of votes of thanks
the convention closed its flret meeting
with the singing of the National An-
them and the pronouncing of the
benediction. A. P. SHEPPERD,
Sec. of Convention.
"The Epwortb Leaguereading course,
how can we make the beet use of it?"
was the subject introduced by Rev. G.
W, Andrews, B. A. of Holmeaville.
The reading course re about the best
for the purpose that can be obtained,
but the exaeople of some parents in
providing light reading the influence
of newspapers and books found in the
homes, and even in the S, S. libraries,
has a teedepey to create, in the minds
of the young a taste for light litera-
ture. To overcome Cale taste and sup-
ply healthy reading is tbe object aimed
at in providing the E. L. reading
course. It can be used by, ministers
making it" their study and persuading
tbe church members to join with them.
"Holiness in heart and life was the
subject of a paper read by Rev. W. W.
Leach. Holiness is our spiritual life
and strength, and therefore is of very
much importance. Holiness is purity,
moral goodness, the renewal of the
soul in the image of God, in whose im-
age it was created—the keeping of the
commandments, baying the mind of
God, and being separated from sin.
The heart, the fountain of life, should
be pure and holy that the thoughts,
words and actions should be pure and
holy. Holiness is obtained by faith in
Christ and obedience to God. Holiness
is much needed; all Christians may en-
loy it and show it in their lives. By
iving holy lives we prosper spiritually
and make religion attractive and de-
sirable,and living for God will be much
easier.
Rev. F. Swann introduced the sub-
ject, "The League and the boys." The
boys, the hope of the church and coun-
try, should be saved early in life, and
interested in what is good, that they
may be fitted for a noble and useful
manhood. In the boys are the•germs
sof a power that, if rightfully directed,
will in after years prove a blessing to
the church, the community and the
world. Inspire the boys with the know-
ledge that there is a God who cares for
then,, who wants them and their whole
lives, to whom they are responsible and
*horn they'should reverence. Teach-'
the boys to study the Bible, to be true,
to be honest, and to feel that what is
worth doing is worth doing well. Get
them early interested in Christian
work. Every duty performed from a
right, motive is a step heavenward.
Keep the boys off the streets. Teach
them that they can have a good time
and enjoy their games and still be
Cht istians. Induce the boys to take
Christ as their example and live pure,
noble, upright and good lives. We
mast walk and talk, yes and live with
God to succeed in the great work of
winning and keeping the boys. When
the pastor visits the homes call in the
boys that they may be present at the
time of devotional exercises.
Rev. A. C. Crews took the platform
and answered many questione from
those in the congregation. Social en-
tertainments might be beld about once
in two months. He would advise hav-
ing the members pay initiation fees.
and monthly or quarterly' does. If
members of the church -join the league
it should be as active not as associate
members, Mr Crews would advise the
lileta ry committee of ever y'league to
t, -v to increase the circulation of the
Christian Guardian,
The election of officers for the Dis-
trict Convention resulted as follows:—
Honorer v president—the chair,nan of
the Uisti'ict.
Piesident —Mayor Holmes, Clinton.
1st vice pres.—J. H. Million, Goderich.
21d " " D. W. Bright, Seaforth.

Miss Wilson, Hensall.
Miss M. Washington,
Clinton.
Secretary— Miss S. Acheson, Goderich.
Treasurer•—Mrs H. Ivison, Kippen.
Uonfeeence Repl•esentative — Rev. J.
Edge, Goderich.
The pledge and church loyalty was
the subject assigned to Rev. J. Edge.
Considering tbe number who have
taken the pledge it will appear that a
lei ge nunmet• are banded together for
Christian work. Without loyalty to
the pastor and the church the league
cannot expect to be successful. We
must be loyal to the rules, doctrines
and connectional inter ests and funds of
the church. Be loyal to the worship of
the church, the class and prayer meet -
hip aud the Sunday school. A bond
of union should edit,t between the
members of the church. We should be
loyal to our country, our convention
and the literature of the church.
EVENING SESSION.
The evening session was opened with
a Song Serv,ce, after which Rev. E,
Olivant read a paper on the subject of
"Worship in Song and Spirituality in
our music." Music has always been
associated with religious worship. It
had the divine sanction and Was ac-
ceptable to God. Singing was com-
mended by Jesus and the apostles by
precept and example. Since then the
onward march of religion has been
accompanied by song. Hymns should

PRESENTATION.—On Friday evening,
Jan. 17, a large number of the friends
of Mr D. E. Munro assembled at his
house. He thought they had simply
taken the house by storm and came to
spend a pleasant evening, which they
certainly did, but they had another ob-
ject in view. Mr Munro has been
ateacher in the Methodist Sabbath
School for a long time, in fact one of
the most zealous and faithful, and his
friends thought they would show some
appreciation of his services, so they
presented him with a handsome easy
chair, accompanied by the following
address:—
AUBURN, Jan. 17, 1896.
Mr D. E. MUNRO :—Dear Bro. —We the
teachers, officers and friends of the Metho-
dist Sabbath School, having enjoyed your
very valuable services as Bible plass teach-
er for the past seven years, and having
learned that you find it almost impossible
to continue those services for another year,
we felt that we could not allow you to re-
tire without giving yon some tangible ex-
pression of our high appreciation of your
prolonged sacrifices and untiring efforts in
this department of Christian work, we
therefore ask you kindly to accept this ad-
dress, expressing as it does very feebly, our
indebtedness to you, and also this easy
chair, not that in any way we would try to
remunerate you for your earnest devoted-
ness, for this wfi are unable to do, but we
want you to know as you vacate your posi-
tion in our school that we realizethe great-
ness of the loss, and we hope these few
words may (sheer yon, if ever an hour of
loneliness should come, and this chair may
offer you a few hours of repose.jg prepare
;leu for aceta aggreaeive Christian enter-
prise -in the future. We shall greatly miss
yen, and we hope you will be no stranger,
but will often pall in and show ns that In
heart you are a sabbatb school teacher still.
Praying that the blessing of the Almighty
may be abundantly upon you, your good
wife and dear family, and so when our toils
for the divine master shall terminate we
may enter into the " rest for aver and thril-
led with rapture of the master's well done."
Signed on behalf of the school.
Miss A KNOT, Mr G. L. STURDY,
Miss T. BBOWN, Mr A. KNox.
Mr Munro was completely taken by
surprise, and when he recovered him-
selt he cordially thanked his friends for
their generous recognition of his la -
hors. Few persons in this vicinity are
more deserving of recognition than
Mr Munro, who has been at all times a
willing worker In every good work.
After a pleasant evening, spent with
music, recitations, &c., Rev. Mr Baugh
closed with prayer, and all returned to
their homes feeling that they had done
a good deed and enjoyed a very plea-
sant evening.
CHURCH.—Rev. William Baugh was
preaching missionary sermons on Lon-
desboro circuit last Sunday. Rev. Mr
Wilson, of Londesboro, occupied the
Methodist pulpit here on Sunday eve-
ning, the church being crowded to the
door. Special services are being con-
ducted this week in the Methodist
church.
OFFICERS.—The annual meeting of
the teachers and officers of the Metho-
dist Sabbath School was held last week
when the following officers were elect-
ed :—Superintendent, J. P. Brown ; as-
sistant sup., G. L. Sturdy; sec.-treas.,
G. L. Sturdy ; organist, Miss Susie
Blair ; libra's, J. Nicholson and Welsh
Ert•att, ; Bible class teacher, Mr J. J.

ishing condition, and much good is
hoped for during the present year. Mr
D, E. Munro, after filling the position
of Bible class teacher for seven years,
wished to be released for a year or two,
his resignation was very reluctantly
accepted.
