W PRIER ApOYE 41I& 4:)ica LIBERTIES • ," • POLITICAL MEETINGS. If the result •of the election in West Buron was, not entirely satisfactory to the 'Reform party, there was. some consolation that both sides fought keen fight to win, and .the losers are to be congratulated that their defeat is not even worse. Both parties furthermore had the, satisfaction of hearing.the very beet speakers obtain- able. TO the Reformers at Dungan- • Ron it was a rare treat to listen to such eloquent men as the eminent Opposition leader, Mr. Laurier and Preston, not to mention their old candidate, Mr. Cameron. On the Con- servative side too Messrs. Dr. Mon- tague, F. Campbell, Hen. Mr. Patterson and others were equally w61 -1 --- appreciated by their admirers. In Lucknow last week each party held a meeting. Ex -Alderman Frankland, of Toronto, pleased every person who listened, to him at the Conservative meeting on Thursday night, but Mi. ..-Edward Cocharine did not succeed in • winning golden opinions from the au - the scholfam iiftheir crosses 1r odorto be able to teach and interest them. Mr. Crozier being absent Mr. Potter was requested to introduce thestibject, "The advisability of mingliug the sexes in the Sunday school". He thought it advisable to have boys and girls together in the classes as the presence of the girls would have a tendance to suppress boisterousness or a lack of gallantry in th boys. In discusing the subject, ono person thought bible classes and infant- classes should consist of both boys and girls but in intermediate classes they'should be separated. Another thoiight that if the' infant classes were well trained there would be no trouble in the , intermediate 'classes. A. P. Sheppard introduced the subject of, "Theadvisability of appoint- ing assistant teachers". He did not belive in appointed assistant teacher for the elasses, because having no assis- tants would have a tendency to cause the teacher to attend the school more regularly, to prepare the lesson better and to feel more interest in the work of the school Aimee. Mr. Robert Baird, of Kin- ' eardin.eand Mr. Peter McKenzie of Kin- loss, as usual spoke very well, and were given a good hearing. At the Reform meeting on .Saturday evening, Mr. Jas. Gaunt, jr., of West Wawanosh, made his hist political effort in Lucknow, .and for nearly three quarters of an hour held the strictest attention of the, 'east audience. He gives evidenee of a future speaker much above the aver - .age.. Mr. Hugh Morrison, of Luck- - now, followed for over half an hour in ,behalf of Mr. Patterson, and as usual. spats 'veij nicely, but not so well as We 'have heard him do on other occas- • i.64 of the kinI Mr. James Lister, 11,••.T.,,,for East Lanibton; was the last speaker and as he, came forward the large assemblage cheered him to the Cdhorand which was repeated time and again during h*.speeele . After deal- ing -some terrible blOwe to the argu- ments, advanced by.. the opposition speakets, he geve. an able review of the revelatious made during the last session of Parliament and of the many' thonsands- of 'dollars that had been stolen from the people by theboodlers. Mr. Lister is undoubtedly one of .the ablest speakers, that has ever appeared before a Lucknow 'audience. SCHOOL CONIcENTIOAI . The following, is a condensed report of the union Sunday school convention of the Nile and Dungannon circuits which was held at Nile, February 18th 7 1892. It •.cosisted of three sessions, morning,. afternoon and evening. There was a fair attendance in the morning, in the afternoon the house was crowded to its utmost cap.,City and in the evening the church was uncomfortably filled. Each, session was opened with devotional exercises and closed with the benediction. The business of the morning ,and afternoon sessions wasintersperseed with congre- gational singing and at the evening the - choir supplied the music. • MORNING SESSION, - The first businesswas the reports •of secretaries and superintendents of the Various schools.

Anderson. He spoke of a relation of close and inti- mate friendshsp between the teacher and his class, 'of the sympathy that should exist between the teacher .and his class. The next subject introduced by Mr. J McLean was "the relation and respon- sibility .of a S. S. teacher to his work.' The first relation he mentioned eves that of respect and respectability not only in school but also where ever they niet. The next was friendship which was prompterby pleasant looks pleasant words to each pupil and speak- • ing to each .pupil and calling them by name where ever they meet and shak- ing hands with them at every oppor- tunity, particularly on meeting then] in the 'class. • The next subject " The necessity 4 open • meeting ,for the S. S. was. introduced 'by M. C. Girvin. He said the first point was prayer and ment- ioned several passages of Scripture in support of his. 'argument The .next point was praise; music being a ne- cessity in all S. S. Meetings. The third point was ,that of the giving testimonies for Jesus. Mr. Washington then took up the duty of the S. S. Superintendent. He gave some of the duties as follows; He should be a than of high moral character. He should be in harni• onv end co operate with the pastor. As•he is to govern and control the • school; he must of necessity be able to govern and control himself. HE should arrange the classes,, and. classify the children. • He haithe general manage- ment of the school. His dnty includes looking after reviews and review ' ser- vices. He must. arrange for the rais- ing of S. 8. funds, He. is to advise with the teachers, individually or in teacher's meetingsas to the best' ineans' of working the school. • Mr., Murdock then , taught a lesson (Isiah lv 1.-7)to an intermediate class. Mr. Echlin then dealt with " The use of the blackboard or Leaf • Cluster in the S. S. ". tfe claimed that each should be carefully explained by sons .appointed for that. purpose. • He preferred • the blackboard because; (1) It is much the -cheaper; (2) It 'holds the attendance of the school. (3)The pupils will better understand w.ht is written •or printed on it than what is portrayed on a picture. It present's the truths and teachings of the lesson, step by, step. He made use of the blackboard to explain a lesson. The children were then adressed by Mrs. S. J. Pentland and Miss Linfield. Mrs Pentland took for her subject " Character Building ". She then referred to the different paths though life and endeavoured to impress on the minds of the childrenthe necessity of walking in' the straight and narrow' way. Miss Linfield "spoke of the garden of the heart and impressed the necess ity nf sewing seed and pulling out the weeds to have? a plentiful harvest. This harvest, she explained, consists of happiness, beauty of 'character and the reward that awaits the good. The subject "A, general knowledge of the bible eq.sential in Sunday school teaching" was introduced by Rev. A. Potter. He claimed that to be success- ful, a teacher must hare a general knowledge of the bible and be -familiar with' ite teachings to be able to go from particulars to generaLs. • EVENING SESSION. ,or,,,,•••••••••••••• STOOL Our Spring Stock is ARRIVING DAILY and will soon be complete.
