Delegates were pre- sent from G"det•ich, Settforth, Clinton, %Vingh.iw, Blyth, lielgrave, Holules- ville, Hayfield and Henssll. in the morning them' was a celebration of the' Holy ('uruurunion. Tbis service was followed by a short session it which reports were read from the different Sunday Schools in the County of Huron. In the afternoon the Rev. H. A. Thomas of Lucan gave a very instructive paper on "Some Hints to Teachers." The Many excellencies of this paper were discussed hy sever - til of the delegates. The Rev. Dr. Tucker, General Sectettu•y of the Mis- siouttry Society, then spoke at some length on the subject Of "Missions in the Sunday School." Dr. Tucker showed how that the Missionary Society was not anythingoutside the church but that the issionary Society was the church herself in mis- sionary action. Therefore to aim a blow at the church and to give a lift to the Missionary Society was to give it lift to the church. The fundamental principles of the Missionary Society are that, it is the first duty of the Church of Christ to evangelize the world and that all members of the Church of England in Canada are members of the Missionary Society of the Canadian Church. After giv- ing a vivid description of the needs and opportunities in Western Canada, he mode a strong and soul stirring appeal to clergymen, teachers and parents to teach the children not only to offer their gifts of self-denial for the rnisnionary cause but also to gine themselves for the work. Those who were present will long remember Dr. Tucker's impressive words and many testified that they would return to their homes resolved to make greater efforts both by word and exatnple to teach the young that the highest work is work for God. The Rev. Rural lle'an Lowe acted as cheirn►an through- out the day and the Venerable Arch- deacon Richardson gave valuable as- sistance by Caking an active part in the discussion of the different subjects. \Vingham was selected as the next place of tweeting and officers were elected for the ensuing year. There was a large attendance at the evening service. The sermon. which was preached by Rey.
