The nineteenth aaiinnel Sunday School Oeuvention of the Dungannon and Nile the Nile on Thursday, Feb, in 10th. It consisted of three sessions. In the morning there was a fair crowd, but at the afternoon and evening sessions the church was crowded to the door with earnest and attentive people who are interested in Sunday School work. Every number on the programme was taken up by theper- son 4elected by the committee. Rev. J. E. 3. Millyard, of Nile, presided in the morning. Rev. B. L. ,Hutton, of Dungannon, in the afternoon and Mr. Wm. Bailie, of Nile, •1n the evening. The. sessions were each opened and closed with religious exercises. Con- gre at•iouil singing enlivened the pro- ceedings in the morning and afternoon. The Nile choir supplied the music in the evening. The following is a con- deused report of the day's proceedings, the addresses and discussions being combined. MORNING SESSION. Reports were given by Nile, Dun- gannon and Ebenezer tschools. In these three schools $231.37 have been raised for Sunday School purposes duringthe year 1897. $180 has been expened by them for the purpose of carrying on their work. Forty-five teachers and officers teach and control these schools. Their aver- age attendance was about 37. 361 names of scholars were en- rolled and the average attend- ance of these amounted to 179. Con- sidering the distance some scholars reside from the school and that some are only living for a part of the year in the neighborhood the average is very good. These three schools are supplied with 120 copies of the Onward, 70 Sunbeams, 80 Happy Days, 33 Ban- ners and. 230 Berean Leaves, some also read the Northern Messenger and Dew Drops. These reports were discussed. CARPET WEAVING. Having bought a Carpet Loom, I am pre- pared to do weaving tMS all kinds. Albert St. CAUTION. Tho public are hereby cautioned against Pur- chasing or negotiating a note of hand made by the undersigned, in favor of Hugh Sturdy, no value having been receivJAMEd S ST.JOHI'. Hu11olt, February 8, 189s. In" the time allotted to suggestions frotn S. S. workers the subject of sub• stitute teachers was taken up ; some favored them, others were opposed to them. hollowing are some sugges tions :—If substitutes are not appoint- ed touch time is lost to the class while t 1 the superintendent is hunting a sipp Y. Substitutes if appointed for the year would be much depended on by the regular teachers. Teachers' meetings could if coi t an advantage they would beg be carried on. It was noted that in a certain school the lesson is taught in one class a week earlier than it should be that the members of that class may be able to act as substitute teachers. Mr. John Echlin, superintendent of r , Sheppardton school, gave the address of .welcome. He welcomed the visitors because he expected to be helped by An interchange of thought. In these conventions we become acquainted and provoke one another to good works. versed in the lesson. We need to be Well trained in the art of teaching to be successful. Teachers' meetings sometimes fail to be practically bene- ficial to all classes. Normal class teaching for S. S. workers would be beneficial if practicable. The subject introduced by Mr. John Dusbow, uperinModell tofliileSunday School, was "The aim of Sunday School work and how to reach it.' Some aim at having a large school or a large class; some at having an inter- esting class ; sopne at appearing well before the class; some at imparting Biblical knowledge, but information is not salvation. These aims are good so far as theo but they do not go far enough. The true aim of Sunday School work is to bless the scholar ; to build up good ebtt,racters and to glorify God. To accomplish this each teacher should be born of the Spirit. He must make an earnest study of God's word. He must have tact in teaching. He must present the lesson in such away that the scholar will understand the truth it contains. A teacher's life during the week has ten tunes more influence over his scholars than bis teaching on Sunday. A teacher must work, study, pray and trust to the help of the Holy Spirit. Mr. Wm. Watson, of the Nile, had for his subject "The ex- ercise of authority in the school." It is hard to teach when there is disorder in the neighboring classes. The tongue is a good weapon with which to keep order but it mast he used aright. We should keep order by love and reverence. The superin- tendent has the most authority in the school. They should teach the child- ren reverence for God's house. We mast be governed by circumstances in keeping order.

S. work is in a very satisfactory state in Canada. It has put itself ahead so much that it is found to be necessary to the success of the church. In revivals the majority of those converted come from the Sunday Schools. The church recognizes the importance of the work of the Sunday School, to such an extent that its ablest scholars are assisting the Sunday Schools by the preparation of lesson helps. S. S. wu, kers are not satisfied with intellectual education, hey work for spiritual good. The Sanity School never was in such a state as it is to- day, never was more interest taken in S.S. work than at present. Mr. Wm, Bailie, of Nile, introduced the suhject of Temperance. Teachers and officers cannot be truly successful without being strictly temperate in their habits. They should always teach temperance, not only by their words and their lives but also by their fran- chise.''To teach temperance success- fully the parents should assist. Youth is the time when habits are formed. Th'e drinking habit is generally formed between the ages of 12 and -20 years. We should keep the temperance object in view in all our teaching, all S. S. or- t me of temperance. Orkers he A. pledge shoulde be in each school and should be signed by all the scholars. The plebiscite is soon coming and temperance literature should be sown broadcast over the land by the Sunday Schools. The first address to the children was given by Miss Hutton, of Dungannon, who took for her subject, a Lead Pencil. As a pencil is cowpused of two parts, lead and wood, so a child is composed of soul and body. As the wood is a protection for the lead, so the body is a home for the soul during our earthly life. As a pencil, to be useful, must be sharpened, so children, to he useful, must he sharpened by getting a good education and building good charac- ters. There are two ways of getting • through life. Slide through lite and be a nobody, or master every difficulty and hold important positions. We - in our youth. - nlrol • .self co roust leaf n y Be thankful to those in command who teach us to obey. As:. pencils are sharpened as long .as they' last eo we are 10 learn as long as we live. Pencils are polished on the outside. Children should always be polite and mannerly. True politeness comes from the heart. Pencils are either hard, soft or med- ium.0 shouldnot •• • araetars faro. Children's h he too hard. They will then refuse instruction. They should not be too soft. They will then be too easily led. Pencils are used for rnaking marks. Children are making their marks in the world. And these marks. -are _record- ed m Heaven. Live to be a pencil in God's hands. the history of • the Bible, of its origin, of its writers, of the time of their writ- ing, of its translations and of the triumphs which it has accomplished over scepticism and infidelity. The .Bible is a revelation from traod. himself and is read, studied and loved more to -day than ever before. Education, art and civil government though powerful agents are unable to properly civilize a nation or make them virtuous. The Bible and ha truths are the true civiliz- ingagents. The Bible is the text book of the Sunday .School. A general knowledge of its history, literature and politics is essential to success in Sun- day School teaching. Workers in Sun- day Schools are writing on immortal souls. Prayer and prayer only will give the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Teachers are a part of the great army that is fighting for God and they must fight on until God calls them home to their reward. The closing address was given by Rev. B. L. Hutton, of Dungannon, on the suhject, "The religious instruction of the young." What is it 2 Who are responsible for it." The Holy Spirit never interferes with a man's free moral agency. It requires secular and religious educa- tion combined to make the perfect than. God believes in true education. He is never in sympathy with wilful ignorance. Secular education without religious education is very dangerous. How many smart men intellectually are in prisons suffering for crimes they have committed. Religious education without secular education is blind. The apostles were well educated. They were taught for three years by Christ himself who spoke as man never spoke and taught as one who bad authority. Every Hebrew parent was compelled to give his child a good education and to teach him a trade. .The former prices were from $5 to $17.50, A lot of Old Men's Fur Caps, were $6.50 for a2, A big stock of Clothing, Suits, Overcoats, Odd Pants, Vests and Coats, Overalls, Hats, Caps, &c.

Whyard, of Deungannon. The class should hold the interest of the teacher at all times; we need divine help to be properly interested in the scholars; we should be interested in them not from duty but from love ; teachers should sit with their classes while in -the Sunday school ; we should be so interested in our classes that other classes will not attract our attention ; an inattentive class is as dear to the Saviour as the model class ; we should respect the opinions of the members of the classes and wrong answers should not be passed over without being considered and corrected; teachers unavoidably absent should be very careful in the selections of persons to act as their substitutes; teachers hearing disparag- ing emand rts of their scholars go speak to them tothem iv Lely about the matter and give them good advice; never permit anyone to speak slightingly of our scholars; be careful of their names and characters; show scholars that we love them; if we can win their affection we can also win their attention; let the class know that you pray for them as individuals as well as a class, get scholars to pray for the teacher; teachers might Fain the confidence and esteem of their classes by inviting them to spend an evening once or twice a year at their home, thus teaching them how to live as Christians at home. The second address to the children was given by Mr. John McLean, super- intendent of Dungapnon Sunday School. He took for a suhject, "Little Things." The ant is wise because it lays up a store for the future. We should commence in early life to lay up a store of useful knowledge and Bible truths for use in after life. The conies are little folk but they are wise because they build upon arock. Child- ren are building character and should lay the foundation on a solid rock even Jesus Christ. Character is the only possession that will endure throughout eternity, A SECOND LARGE SHIPMENT OE NEW. ring : Goods Which we announced would arrive this week, came to hand on Monday, making along with the first big .ship- ment, a, very attractive andlovely stock of spring goods, comprising mostly everything that's new, among the staples are Shirtin s, Tickings, Table Linens, Cottonades, Prints, Flannelettes, 8-4 and 9-4 Sheetings, 40 inch Apron Ginghams, Grey Cottons, Bleached Cottons, Grey Flannels, The great attraction here will be the New Spring Dress: Goods.

Some of the new Spring Dress Stuffs now await your inspection. We know you'll be interested,. they give the first hints of the fabrics decreed for the coming season. We have provided generously, bigger, better than ever. Later on we'll have more to tell you about it. The schools of the prophets were the colleges of olden times. Most of our higher educational institutions are under the control of the churches. No power but God's can withstand evil. No power outside of Christ can save souls. Parents are responsible for the home teaching of the truths that they themselves know. Who should teach? The church must teach. The ministers are teaching every Sunday from the pulpit. The Sunday Schools must teach. These teachers have a work before then. that should engross their strictest at- tention. What is the mind if it is not developed and properly educated. ,-The hone, the.pulpit and the Sunday School are responsible for the religious education of the young and a very great responsibility it is. A. P. SIIEPPERD, Secretary of Convention. GIBBmGS, Mai EVENING SESSION. After the opening exercises the fol- lowing resolution was moved, second- ed and adopted. , Whereas—The Liquor Traffic of our country is detrimental to the hest in- terests of our homes, hostile to the cause of God and disastrous to the welfare of humanity at large. Whereas—We are on the eve of a Domini n ,b?lebescite as to the advisa- bility'orproTi-i ing'the traffic. • — Resolved—That this convention is in favor of prohibition and recommends that the different Sabbath Schools here represented take such measures as seem best for the promotion of this cause. Mrs. S. J. Pentland, of Dungannon, gave an address on "Our dependence on the Holy Spirit for Sunday School Work." Sunday School work is of the greatest importance. The school is the garden from which the heavenly gardener transplants slips to bloom in eternal bowers. In the Sunday School we meet face to face with the corning men and women. They will he true or untrue. They will work for Christ, or av'ainst hitn. How careful we must be in training them. Where are those -who feel sufficient in them- selves to carry on Sunday School work? They are not to he found. Christ says, "Without ine ye can do nothing." We, as teachers in Sunday School, must have the help of the holy Spirit, without it our efforts will be futile, our influence will he nothing, We are not at play becoming Sunday The Grand Trunk handled three trains of beef over their main line on Sunday.

LEEBURN, Saturday, Feb. 26, 2 3 p. m The opposition Candidate or his represen- tative is invited to be pres-nt, and will have a favorable opportunity to speak. The subject given to Mr. J. Hither. ington, of Nile, was "How to raise the standard of Sunday School Teaching." Teaching is not talking or lecturing but rather drawing from the class answers to questions and impressing on the minds of the scholars the art and necessity of thinking for themselves. The teachers' work• is more. than im- parting knowledge, part of his work is chato each too mcter duching•butt make thorouDo not gh work. Teachers should have clear conceptions of Bible truths, they should be inspired with the lesson and carrythat inspiration into the class. Inspiration and enthusiasm are essen- tial: to successful teaching, Take io Christ.Christ. as Our htaKnple,.>tgge illustrations to enforce the truth buttonly such i11Os- f trationS aB the class ceel tin dera tantl� School teachers, we must have the faith that does not know what no is. We are dependent on the Holy Spirit for (1) Preparation, that we may study the scriptures in order to teach others; (2) A recognition of the greatness of the work and of our responsibility. (3) The Baptism of Love, without love efforts are cold, words are powerless; love electrifies words and sanctifies action; with love we become magnets drawing to Christ.

Jesus offers us a safeguide that Will lead us into all truth. (7.) Power. We have enough Sunday School machinery but we need more power put into IL Lastly we are dependent on the Holy Spirit for the reward of our etYorts in Sunday School work. The tears of disappointment are noted by our heavenly, Father. Bread cast on the water will be seen after many days. With the help of the Holy Spirit we may be the'instrument in God's hands of winning so many soots for His king- dom that we Will wear a crown glittery ingq with jewels in the heavenly home. Rev. J.
