Not only has the convention been a marked succese in attendance, but the debt of the associatiou has been lifted, and in fact, from every point of view the cou- veution has broker& t1l anticipated re- cords. The music provided was the best, the speakers were. enthasiastie, and their addresses intereetiug. The delegates returned to their homes this morning pleased with the work that has been aecompliehed, aud delighted with the bright outlook for the coining year.

Reddiford epokeon behalf of the Baptists, and stated that he brought the assurance of enjoyment from all of the Baptist delegates at the convention. Mr. Reddiford stated that the Baptists were ready to advance with the aesociationt Mopp1ey spoke on behalf of tile Anglican delegatee. The speaker etated that citizens generally appreci- ated the great value of such a conven- tion. The Sunday school was building up the improved social conditions of North America. On behalf of the Evangelical Associa- tion, Rev. W. E. Peace, of Hespeler, ex- preesed appreciation of the new inspira- tion that had come to hie delegetereat the great convention, "We believe in everyone doing work as well as praying," said the speaker, who emphasized the value of the Bible classes. "The Presbyterians can only get to heaven by freight, becaase they cannot expreee themselves," eald Rev. H. Wil- liams, who Spoke on behalf of the Meth- odist delegates. Rev. Mr. Macpherson, of Toronto, who represented the delegates who at- tended the Presbyterian Scission, stated that although he hoped to go to heaven by freight, he was glad that it was a through freight with no flag etops. "It will be to the shame of boys and girls to -day if they are not better than the boys of yesterday, who did not have the same opeeetenitiee," eaid the speaker, Rev. Ea W. Halpenny, the general sec- retary, Woe greeted with the .Chatauqua salute when he arose to address the meeting. Mr. Halpenny reported that there were 1,001 delegates enrolled at the convention, end 83 of the 100 units w.ere represented. It was decided to gyve the unit having the largest number of delegate's a banner as a reward of honor. Norfolk county carried off the banner, which wae a Inagnificent one, and a worthy reward. T. F. Harrison, of Kin2eton, stated that a large number of delegates were looking forward to attending the world's zerland,.in 1913, and he announced that convention. to be held in Zurich, Swit- a return ticket had been presented to Mr. retary.Halpenny, the worthy general sec - you do not, you may not have them in later years. "Let US put first things first. Let the big bank aecenent go, for the children aro first. Some children want to be chickene SO they can, have their mothers all the time. Let us naatter every new thing worth while, but put filet things first. Build, the kingdom of Christ with boys and girls, Get them in in their youth, Do not let a. week rase before you, save all those with whom you come in (milted. If the ministers of the gospel and Sunday School teachers lived the gospel truly for one year there would be a great revival deluge the whole country. "Let ue make it the duty of our lives to get iu xeacla with all unsaved people. Think of some one whom you can get, and go out right alter them. As long as there is an unsaved member in yoer own house we can never save the world," The meeting citifiecl with a great deal of enthusiasm. THE ANGLICANS. George C. Coppley, a delegate from the Church of St. Thomas, preeided, at the session of the Anglican Church, held in the school room of the church. Mr. Coppley is an ardent church worker, and takes a particular •interest in the Sim - day school. Rev. R. A. Hiltz, M,A., of Toronto, conducted an epen dismission dealing with the awards of the Sunday school and the system of teaching. Mr. Hilts coneidered that diplomae should be awarded to the deserving children. The lesson helps, he considered, should be used by the teaehere at home, but not in the Sunday school. The Sunday echool curriculum came in for a great deal of criticism. The olcl method was a hop - step -and -jump system, but the system at the present time was a more uniform eystera, taking up consecutive lessons. The question as to whether teachers shorty' be promoted with their scholars, brofight up the great question of graded. elasses. The opinion of the meeting was that the teacher& shoulcj not leave their special departments. This gave the teach- ers a chance to be experts in their de- partments. THE METHODISTS. The Methodist denominational confer- ence was held in Wesley Church yester- day afternoon, with the Rev. F. L. Fare- well, B. A., Field Secretary for Ontario and Quebec, presiding. Many different subjects were gone into and diseussed by the delegates., which caused a lot of interest and. excitement at times. Many geed speakers were present and gave some very fine addressee on Sunday school work, which -were listened to at- tentively by the large crowd. present. 9.That there was no Sunday school which ehould not be open all the year around if the Sunday school meant busi- ness, was the statement voiced by Rev. S. T. Bartlett, who spoke on the "Stand- ard of Excellence." Thi e statemene caused much discussion among some et the delegates, who wanted to know what could be done when snow six feet deep kept people locked in in some parts of Ontario. That the spirit of enthusiasm amongst Sunday school workers should not be locked in by meow was the opin- ion of many of the delegates. The speak- er also argued Cult a cradle roll was aleo necessary to Sunday Schools. It was to recognize the right of the child and to bring it to a realization of it that Bible classes were necessary, and the superintendent ehould be a first- class speaker and be able to make the class understand the necessity of each lesson. It was not advisable, he thought, for the Methodist Church to have a de- nominational registry secretary, but to have the Bible class registered in an un - denominational association. Eacli school should have a Bible class for people over 10 years. This also caused some dismis- sion among the delegates, many of whom claimed that people over 16 years of age should also belong. The speaker also recommended a teachers' training class as a good ad- junet to any Sunday school. Rev. F. L. Farewell, field secretary for Ontario and Quebec, spoke on the regu- lar temperance instruction and pledge signing by Sunday schools and teachers. That fully 05 per cent. of young people get away from the clmech and only 30 per cent, of the pupils of Sunday sehoole were brought into the church as mem- here Was the statement made by Rev. yr. Farewell. Last year only 3 per cent. of Sunday school members joined the Church in Ontario. Hamilton was slightly above the average, with 3.7 per cent. The speaker said that the average school term Ives. ciebt years, arid at 3 per eent. of the pupils a year, the Sunday schoole were net saving the boys and girls for the church as it should. Be urged greater effort on the part of offi- vials and teachere to bring the younger people into the church. THE PRESBYTERIAN. A splendid gathering of Presbyter - lane were present at the ineeting held in St. Panl's sehool MOM, presided over by Rev. Alex. MacGillivray, convener of the conunittee on Sabbath schools of FTRST THINGS FIRST. "First Thinge First," wee the subject upon which Rev. W. A. Brown, of Chi- cago, spoke. "It has been my privilege to conduct it series of inveetigations into the Sunday school conditions of the continent," said the epeaker. "There are certain lines of activity in the States that ehould be enlightened eo that they will not dull tile spirits and abilitiee of men," t"I have been at all kinds of conven- t.ions, but I never was at a convention thie one," continued Mr. Brown. "The preliminary arrangements were perfect, the programme has been eplan- ned systematically, a beautiful spirit prevailed, the steadinese of attendance Jia t been marked, and the different de- nomieational representatives have work- ed in harmony. This convention ranks foremost in the accompliehment of beautiful thing; and tho press has exhibited an exceptional earnestne,sis. "1 want you delegates to have a vision of the whole Sunday .School, with all at different departments.

It was done by taking, the echool into confie deuce. that was necessary, he stela, was to tell the scholars all about the miesion fields and they would respond. The meeting was certainly one of the m-oet, successful and. enthusiaetie in the convention. THE BAPTISTS. The Baptist session, held in the school mom of James Street Baptist Church, wag decidedly e, success. Rev. P. K. Dayfoot presided, and the principal addreee of the eiternoon was delivered by Rev. W. B. Merrill, B. A., of Toronto, who spoke on Sunday school work in general. He advocated that three features of Sunday school work be kept in mind to make the echool eitteeeSe and give pupils the deeired bene- fit in the way of religious training. The attitude of the teacher was one of the foremost feature% In many classes the lesson hour Was devoted to memorizing verses. Memorizing portions of the Bible was absolutely necessary, but it should be done at home, and the reciting of them to the teacher should also be done outeide of the regular eession. If the pupils took the interest in the work they should, they would be entirely will- ing to meet outside of the lesson hour for recitations. The eupe rinten den t ehould becareful in hie conduction of the school, and make hie part of the service bright and intereeting. Many of theM reviewed the leeson just taught by the teacher, thereby reiterating to the children what they had just heard. A little talk on an entirely different subject would be more to the point, and the schoel should always be diennieeed promptly. The parents in the home ehould ineist on their children attending a Baptist school if they were of the Baptist denomination. They should en- courage their children to memorize verses at home, thereby increasing their interest in the echool. Many parents made the great mistake of allowing their children to attend a Sunday school with their chums that was not of the de- nomination it was desired they ehould adhere to, and the first thing that fol- lowed was that the pupil would unite with that church instead of the one Ms parents were connected with. -*-+P.*.-.--•••••-••••••••• GET7RICH-QUICK Canada and U.S. May Join Against Fakirs.

New York, Oct. 28. --"Guilty of mur- der in the firet degree" wae the verdict returned three minutes before midnight to -night by the jury in the case of Lieutenant Becker, charg-ed with killing Hernial' Rosenthal. The jury had been out exactly seven hours and fifty-seven minutes. The length of its deliberations, and. the frequency of ite repeats for exhibite, together with an unmistakable sign of hot arguments in the jury room, had led most of those who waited late at the criminal courts building to believe that there would. be no agreement.

MAY SHOOT DIAZ. Rebel Leader Under Court - Martial To -day. Vera -Cruz, 'Mexico, Oct. 28. --Two of the captured' officers of the staff of Felix Diax. were shot by the Federal troops at half past ten last evening, sif- ter being sentencea to death by sum- mary court-martial. The execution was carried out with absolute secrecy. Their names were Major Zarate and. Major Cuestne Major Ferretimh, Za ;ate and Major Julian. Villas are he....ieg on behalf of Diaz, who, 11CCOrti.ng to Tait:try law, is liable to imprieeienent for a term of from three to eight yeare. Public opinion against Diaz, however, is so strong that it is thought a sen- tence of death may be pronounced on him, as well as ou all the officers and Government officials who joined, his cause and were captured. The troopers, however, who rebelled, will in all likeli- hood not be puniehed. Felix Diaz himself is to be brought be- fore the court-martial this afternoon. Some of the voiunteers who joined Felix Diaz. belonged. to the. leading famil- ies of the city.

Ralph W. Douglass, a. news- paperman, was called to testify as to the presence of a telephone "spy" system, in the union headquarters. For two months stenographers hid- den in a room below recorded what was said in the Ironworkers' office. Douglas said the sound receiver was under President Prank M. Ryan's desk. Secretary Herbert S. Hocken was in the same room, at a desk formally occupied by J. J. McNamara, the confessed dynamiter. After the stenographers had been reporting what had been said for eight weeks, the Government of- ficials asserted they heard Hockin and Ryan make remarks which in- dicated the presence of the telephone system was known. A voice, AC - cording to the Government, was heard to say, "I think they have been lis- tening to us right along." The Government announced that the stenographers' reports are to be released to the jury later. - FATALITIES IN FOG Three Bad Accidents in Chicago Yesterday.

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW. Toronto: Generally speaking the wholesale situation is decidedly optim- istic. Wholesale houses have been and are crowded with business, not only fill- ing sorting orders but looking after spring orders. Canners will not fill more than 60 per cent. of their contracts for tomatoes nor 75 per cent. of those for corn. Money continues tight. Sugar dropped. ten cents per cwt. Real estate continues active. Montreal: Wholesale trade is for the most part active, both, manufacturers and. merchants having a larger volume of business ahead of them than ever before. Cotton mills are working at full capacity. Country produce markets are active and firm. Iron and hardware have been active, manufacturers being overloaded. The stock market was fluctuating and. considerable money moved at stiff rates. Hamilton: Wholesale business has been satisfactory. Some country pro- duce is firmer. Dry goode trade has been steady, hardware fairly active. Forwarding of spring orders gives good tone -to business, and manifests brighter outlook in surrounding country. London: London vicinity has the best yield of apples in years, fineet grades selling. tit $2 per barrel.. The wholesale business continues active. hardware firms are active. Collections are very fair. Winnipeg: The phenomenal activity of the pat few weeks has not let up, Receipte, of grain have been heavy every day and the percentage of high grade wheat has been unusually high. Export business has been heavy and. prices have been well maintained. Im- proved weather conditions have allowed freer movement of merchandise and trade has been by this means greatly stimulated. Manufacturers are work- ing to capacity. Collections continue to come in slowly as is usual during the crop moving season. Vancouver and Victoria sta,nds fourth among Canadian cities in bank clearings for year to date with $469,376,757, an increase over last year of 202 per cent. Activity has been rather quiet in gro- cery trade. California canned goods have come in abundance and prices went lower. Victoria's annual exhibition, was a great financial success. Ottawa: Wholesale situation has been and is fairly active with nothing outstanding. The business outlook is cheerful. Quebec: Trade conditions continue satisfactory, dry goods, groeeries and. hardware are moving well. Amonget the 8hoc manufacturers activity is notice- able, orders as it rule being ahead for several months. Retailers report a sat- isfactory volume of business for the week.
