EL 8. CONVENTION.
ti. B. *sags, tteaed Worker. 1■ Mss/..
The London District S. S. Convention
of the M. E. Church, 'bet on Wednesday,
16th of June, in the M. E. t'huruh, in
Goderich, Rev. C. Louu.bury presiding;
Rev. J. T. avis, secretary. After the
opening services, the President trade a
short address, showing the rapid growth
Sunday School, and its great Mi-
nos as • department of the Church.
Rev. J. T. Davis then spoke upon
"The Sphere of the Sabbath School,"
and trade the following {{mints : it is net
a substitute fur the fancily ; not a substi-
tute fur other religious meetings. But
st is : "A department of the S. S.; it is
a school ; a school of the Word ;intended
to bring souls to Christ ; it is for all, both
young and olu.
Rev. C. W. Vollick introduced the
subject, •'The Teacher and his Influence. "
The gist of the speaker's reuwrks can be
summed up in the three "Vs" -patience,
punctuality and prayer, which he urged
upon S. S. workers In the discussion
which followed the following persons
took part : Rev. W. N. Vollick, Rev. C.
M. Thompson, W. Humerstou, W. Keyes,
Rev. N. Dickie, Rev. J. T. Davis, T.
McGillicuddy, Rev. E. Lounsbury.
Rev. C. M. Thompson led off on the
question of "Management of the S. S.,"
advocating thorough organization, and
ventilated some passages in the book
of discipline un appointment*. He was
followed by M. Keyes, Rev. J. T. Davis,
Rev. C. W. Vollick, Rev. E. Lounsburryy,
Mr. T. McGillicuddy, and Mr. J. Wryck-
roan.
On Wednesday evening Rev. F. D.
Ling led in prayer, and after the reading
of the minutes, and music from the choir,
Rev. N. Dickie opened up the theme,
"The Necessity of Thoroughness in Sab-
bath School Rrk," and characterized it
bul-
warkas a eat work. It was the
of tCehe Christian Sabbath.If eal he
Sunday School could not be continued,
the church would also be discontinued.
It is necessary to have a good founda-
tion, and the true foundation is Christ.
Children were the best material to work
with. That man alone who is thorough-
ly devoted to the work will succeed. A
school should not confine its work to its
own door& Thoroughness is also need-
ed in organization and equipment. He
was followed by Mr. T. McGillicuddy.
Rev. C. M. Thompson read an inter-
esting paper on "Childhood and Youth,"
showing the powers and capabilities of
young minds, and advocating thorough
and careful Christian training. The es-
say was very well received. Rev. J. T.
Davis followed in a few pointed remarks
on thoroughness in S. S. work. There
was a need of thoroughness of thinking
in the work, and also thoroughness in
working out the thought. Rev. E.
Lounsbury also spoke.
On Thursday morning, at 8.15, a_
prayer meeting was held, conducted by
the Rev. N. Dickie: At 9 o'clock the
regular convention was re -opened. Af-
ter the reading of the minutes,
Rev. W. N. Vollick introduced the
theme "The benefit of the S. S. t, the
Pastor." It was a benefit financially ;
in the school were to be found the best
collectors for missions, etc. ; the best
listeners to sermons are those who study
God's work in the S. S-; a good S. S.
greatly helped good congregational sing-
ing ; it is an aid to the pastor in leading
members of the congregation to Christ.
He was supported by Rev. J. T. Davis,
C. M. Thompson, N. Dickie, and C. W.
Vollick.
Rev. J. T. Dacia and N. Dickie were
appointed to answer queries. It was de-
cided to hold the next convention at
Chiselhuret.
Rev. G. A. F:. Loos spoke upon the
subject, "How toGet and Keep SFholars
in the S. 8." He dwelt upon the follow-
ing points : Go after them with a Christ-
ian spirit ; interest the parents ; ntake
your school attractive ; teachers and offi-
cers should be punctual ; study the pu-
p4; thoroughness in knowing and teach -
int the lesson ; have plenty of good
Christian literature ; love for God by
faith in Christ.
Rev. E. Liunsbury, J. T. Davis, C.
M. Thompson, and W. N. Vollick also
spoke. +
The following persons took part in the
S. S. experience meeting : Rev. E.
Lou.sbury, Rev. J. T. Davis, A. Sutton,
J. Ryckman, W. Keyes, Rev. C. W.
Vollick, W. Hummerston, Rev. C. M.
Thompson, Rev. F. D. Ling, J. Turner.
On Thursday afternoon a mass meet-
ing of children was held, arid well at-
tended. The opening services were con-
ducted by Mr. Shuter. In the absence
of the President, the Vice -President,
Mr. James Turner, of Ingersoll, occu-
pied the chair very acceptably. Rev.
C. W. Vollick gave an earnest address
on parental responsibility, after which
Rev. J. T. Davis and his daughter, Miss
Mattie Davis, sang a pretty duett "It's
Better Further on." Mr. Wm. Keys.
of Stanley, made a very good speech on
the evils or bad literature, had company,
galebling and intemperance. Mr. t.
McGillicuddy followed in an earnest and
pointed address to children, parents and
tertchers. Rev. J. T. Davis also made
a stirring speech to the children.
The opening of the question hoz, and
the replies made by Rev. T. Davis, were
greatly enjoyed by all present, and was
one of the most interesting features of
the gathering.
Rev. 0. A. Francis then addressed the
convention in behalf of the congregation,
and was replied to by visiting members
in touching words.
After votes of thanks to all who had
satiated in the endeavor to make the
-onvention • suaeses, the convention

ing themselves as well pleased with the

The following respecting the gifted
author of "A Life for a Life," will be
perused with interest by readers of Tns
SIGNAL :
It was "John Halifax," publiahed af-
ter she was thirty years old, that brought
her a name, and made the tank of earning
her daily bread a little Tess arduous -
Seven years later she was awarded a
pmision of three hundred dollars a year.
She was nearly forty when she married.
In 1865 Captain George Lillie Craik, an
officer in the English army, who had
been in the Crimea, met Miss Mulock,
arid although some years her judior, ad-
dressed her and succeeded in winning her
hand. They proved most congenial com-
panions, and their warned life was all
they could wish, with but one exception.
The woman whose love for children
amounted almost to a passion, who
wrote "Phillip, My King, ' was denied
the happiness of feeling baby fingers
upon her cheek or ..f ever hearing her-
self called mother. This was a asverin
sorrow; but even this pain has been pari-
ly assuaged. Strangely enough, one
dark, rainy night, while she and her
husband were speaking of children and
of the joy and brightness they bring to
so many dwelling& there came a loud
ring at the bell and then a furious knock-
ing. On opening the door, lying upon
the sill they found it basket inclosed in
many wrappings. When they were re-
moved they discovered a lovely little
baby only a few hours old. The ehiijd
was wrapped in one roll after another
of India muslin, and on its breast was
kfinned a note, begging Mrs. Craik to be
ind to the little waif thus brought to
her door, and assuring her that no mean
blood flowed in its veins. Tenderly she
lifted the little thing in her arms, end
her heart opened as warmly to take in
the poor little deserted creature. They
called the child Dorothea, God-given,
and she became their adopted daughter.
'1188 IRISH LAND QUESTION.
Asa Bright rata tie Mt hole flatter la a
Y.tshtll-A reell.g l.rt.e.t. -
tn recent speech on the Irish land
bill, John Bright said :-I may relate an
incident which occurred in 1849, when I
was in Ireland, to illustrate how this law
(primogeniture) acts in that country. I
was speaking to a gentleman whose ac-
quaintance I grade in Dublin -a man of
great information on all matters connect-
ed with landed property in Ireland, and
I asked him why a mutual friend had not
bought the land on which he had recent-
ly built a new house. He said, "Bought
the land 1 He could not have bought it.
It belongs to Lord somebody,who has
property in the neighborhood He con-
tinued, "I have been in Irelnd all my
life, and I know as much, perhaps, about
land there as anybody, and I have known
of a great estate being sold in Ireland,
but I have not known of the sale of a
farm or of a fee. Such a thing is scarce-
ly known in the whole country." He
mentioned two baronies in the county of
Wexford, and he said that the owner of
an estate had died, that he left daughters
only. In the case of daughters the law
of primogeniture does not apply, and the
consequence was that it was thought ad-
vantageous to the daughters that the es-
tate should 1* sold, and some sensible
person suggested that the farms should
he offered to the tenants. The result in
that case, the only case he knew of in his
experience, a -as that the estate was di-
vided and offered to the tenants, and
many of the tenants purchased their
fatties. I afterwards went down to the
county of Wexford with a friend with
whom I was staying in Dublin, and who
was also well acquainied with Irish affairs,
and we visited those two particular bar -
unite. We enlisted the services of an
intelligent priest, who went with us to
call on several of the tenants, and we
palled on one of thein- a fine old man
named Stafford, who wits sitting in a
very comfortable arm -chair, in a very
comfortable room, in is very solid and
well-built honiw. In conversation we
asked Mr. Stafford how he, living on
that farm, had so vouch better a house
over his head than we had seen in con-
nection with any farm since we had left
Dublin. He said the estate was sold, the
farm was etfered to hint and he bought
it : he then, not being liable to 1* dis-
turbed and not in any danger of having
his rent raised, did not like to continue
to live in a poor house, and therefore he
bunt his good solid stone house. I said:
"Mr. Stafford if the great hulk of the
commoners of Ireland were in your con-
dition, would not he disturbed, and
could not have their rent raised, and
were owners of the farms, what would be
the result 1" He almost sprang out of
his chair. Although an old man he was
struck with a momentary enthusiasm ;
and lifting his arm he said, "Sir, we
would take hunger out of Ireland."

very much the whole story of Insh pov-
erty and Irish suffering. What we want
