.was the first speaker. He aaidhe was pleased
to be present at each an enthusiastic (Maven•
tion and to see such unanimity in the choice
of Ho, Hislop as a candidate. He will be
elected to support the best Provmoial Gov
eminent in any country under the sun

The Opposition have no particular policy,
outside of rehearsing so called scandals. Be

the coming election and took his seat amidst
enthusiestto applause.
Robs. Holmes, M. Y, for West Pitmen, was

ing clothes. The honor conferred onDr. Mac-
Donald,the able representative of this riding,
in his eevation to the Deputy Speakership, a
no smallone and it is a great honor also to
this oonstituenoy as he fids it with rare ability
and fairness. He recited an amusing incident
referring to the Drs. inability, to read the
prayer of the House in 1Prenoh on one meas.
ion. It was pointed out that Hon. G. W.
Ross was an old Huron boy, being at one
time editor of the Huron Expositor. He is
worthy of the best place in this country..
Mr..Hislop's nomination praoti0alky elects
him but don't take anything for granted,
nothing counts as wallas ballots on an eleo-
tion day. Leave no atone unturned to see
that every vote is polled. Let our sympathies
and practical help be extended to other con-
stituencies. Now is the time to work. He
concluded by reference to improprieties in
elections and the howl made by the Opposi-
tion over them. The .Coin,,,;veions were not
used by these fault finders. Mr, Helm s's ad-
dress,was enthusiastic and practical and this
his first visit was thoroughly enjoyed by the
large gathering.
Hon. kir. Garrow, of Goderiob, was accord-
ed a hearty reception•, He was well: pleased
with the day's proceeding and it was an en-
joyableday to trim. This Convention was
one of heartiness, rather more so than in
West Huron where wo sleepwith our armor
ou. He was an old East Huron boy, n former
resident of McKillop, going from there to
Goderich. East Huron was a snap to a Lib-
eral candidate, in the West riding we have to
fight our way to those honors. This is a
grand country and the good Government is
well in keeping with the excellency of the
land. We are a demooratio people and in
Ontario we have popular government. Party
lines should not be drawn too tight, yet party
is a necessity. It secures unity sad loyalty.
If any man !hasp grievance itsloouldbestated
at a Convention of this kind and then -bury
all animosities. Re said he was no apologist
for corrupt practises, and swore in Goderich
that he had never used a dollar corruptly.
The man who interferes with a ballot is a
scoundrel, and an enemy to the State and
should be punished. But hypocrisy is as bad
as ballot mhting, and the hypocritical cry of
the Opposition in the country is astounding.
Thar did not wince when ohargea were lev-
elled against them in the House for plunder -
the treasury. These are the gentlemen who
'
make use or the ory of Corruption,' The
Liberal party, as an organization, has never
beau proven guilty of corrupt practices, nor
have the Opposition attempted euoh a manly
course. Ifou left. the Liberal party owing
to these ores where would you go P Mr.
Hislop is a thinker as well as a speaker in the
House and is looked upon as a solid member.
The faithful Corumittee man in Parliament
is the man wanted. The Ministry is a think.
Mg glass of men and they are a practical set
of mon. Their•duties are along practical ad-
ministration. Mr. (}arrow made reference to
the economical management of the various
departments in the Legislature, He also re- •
forrod to the neoaysity of competitory voting,
voluntary tehool questions d showed that
there was yet a large field before seal
the Liberal
administration who express the high, tide of
Canadianism and are opposed to rano and
creed oriel. It is a fitting compliment to the
dseat and clever Sir Wilfrid Laurier that it
evolved on him to set up the standard of
broad Liberalism, Mr. Garrow will be wel-
comed book on any occasion end Bost Huron
Liberals wish him siaooss in the West Riding.
No heartier applause could be tendered to
any one than that Recorded to Dr. MacDon-
ald, who was the lastoaker. Nob a dollar

DISTRICT SABBATH SCHOOL
WORKERS.
Wednesday the 10th annual Sabbath
School Convection of Brussels District
was held in the Methodist church, Bees -
seta, President, P. Ritchie, in the ohair,
with 85 delegates present.
"He leadeth me' was sung and Rev. A.
W. Dever, of Walton, offered prayer.
Rev. D. B. McRae, of Cranbrook, was
unable to be present to introduce the
first division of "The Sower" viz., "The
Pastor," as he was called to attend a
funeral. It was decided to take up the
2nd department, The Teacher as a
Sower," and A. M. Malley, Brussels, was
oalled upon. He said ()lariat taught by
picture story and madehis teaohinge very
plain. To the home God committed the
sowing of the seed but this work was
negleoted to such an extent that through
sin the whole world, nearly, was swept
away. The teacher must make prepar.
eaten. It ie pre•eapposed that he is a
child of God. Know the pupils by sight,
name and their peculiar nature, with
home surroundings, literature at their
disposal, &o. Know the lesson. Did not
know of anything that could be done
without knowing something about it ex-
cept to fill a government office. A plan
must be outlined. Prepare the simple test,
the plain teaching in it and don't try to
teach too much. Study the prectioal 0p-
plioation of the lesson, so as to find tome -
thing for every member of the Plass. We
are shaping to a large extent the destiny
of the pupils. Sow the seed in earnest
and sow it beliovingly.
"The Parent as a Sower," was dealt
with by Mrs, Berry, of Walton. Home
influence has great bearing on life. It is
often left out is the individualism of this
age. History and the Scripture Show
the moulding influence of the home.
Habit becomes second nature and in the
formative years we are very susceptible
to our surroundings. The child's char -
eater depends largely on this period.
Childhood reflects life for many
years to come and the religious impulses
must be governed. Our education must
be for the individual well being of our
ohildren, Family religion does not re-
ceive the attention it demands mud the
Sabbath school cannot take its place.
We must try to be what we would like
our ohildren to be. Parents must not
sin against their obildren as character
and destiny are shaped by the home.
Consecrated motherhood jS the great
need. The home is the nation in mania.
tare. All sin must be eradicated, the
parents meat have pure hearts ; the
family devotion, literature, 0ooial amuse-
ments, &a., should be very saored. The
Bible reveals a perfect system of law and
family government. Inoulate pure
language and absence of deception.
Study child nature: Don't delay in
this important duty, Mrs. Berry's paper
was an excellent duo and showed oareful
preparation and earnest thought.
In the dismission Rev. Mr, Dever 0ug-
geated that we should train rather than
teach.
I need Thee every hoer" was sung.
A Sunday sohool of the Times" was
presented Ina, well prepared paper by
W. J. Debbie, M. A., of Guelph, and was
read by Mise Mary Ross, of Brussels.
Little interest ie often evinced in S. S.
work and the progress of the S. S. does
not begin to keep paoe with our other
eduastloned institutions, S. S. Teethed'
Unions, the, Religion should be properly
taught in the S. S. which ie often not the
one. Our schools thonld mean some-
thing ; our tea0her0 should know some-
thing of a relioiono life and knowledge of
teaching, Children should be trained for
life in a sytnmetrioal development, and
bringing out the gifts and graces that
will come intoraobical play in life.
Buildings should p be properly arranged
and tomo 3bgh'eet the use eg tla@ gul3110
aohoole for S, S, purpoees. Separate
rooms shoula he on llied do effective
tetoobing where possible. The writer did
not agree with the International eyebem
of lessons as he thought lessons should
be graded to ouit the ago of the ohildren,
Paid teachers was euggested who would
devote their time to that work. A pro•.
gram for a graded sohool wee outlined
that commends itself to up•to-date S. S.
workere, The paper was a Sine one and
was froey disoussed,
. Strachan, Robb, McKay, B.
GerryThos, T. Farrow, Rev. J. Holmes, G.
F. Blair and W. H. Kerr took part in the,
discussion and many interesting pointe
Were elicited among whioh were the fol.
lowing ;—The love of God in the heart
was the most important factor in se
sohool. Memorizing Scripture is a great
necessity for future work, Home work
given to S. S. pupils was thought to be a
good idea. Parents are careless in oom-
ing to S. S. and beaching is 'often left to
the young people. The Geography and
History of the Holy Land should be
taught as well as the history of the
Bible itself. Don't undervalue the work
of the Sabbath school. Trained super-
inteadenbs a necessity.
Thos. Straoban, W. Cameron, Robe..
McKay, Jas. Strachan and B. Gerry were -
elected a Nominating Committee.
Session closed with singing "Sowing' in
the morning, and Benediction by Be,.
Mr. Rose,
ADTBBN00N 8000I00
opened at 1.80 with the hymn "Showers
of Blessing" and prayer by Elder
Strachan.
The report of the Nominating Com-
mittee wee presented ae folioed; :—
President, Robt. McKay, Ethel ; Viae
President, Wm. Cameron, Oranbrook ;
Seo. -Seo., W. H.. Herr, Brussels ; Exe-
outive Committee, Jas. Strachan, Geo,
Grigg, Jas. Cunningham, Arthur Shaw
and W. Jackson.
Report was adopted and the new
President was introduced and made a
very fitting address in accepting the
office showing that the Bible used was
the greatest boon. Yonog people were
advised to be enthusiastic in using every
opportunity. Returned thanks for the
honor done him.
After the hymn, "Take my life" P.
Ritchie was called upon to introduce the
topio "The place of the Bible and of
helps in the S. S." He thought the
Bible should hold first plane both with
the teacher and pupils. It is God given,
Jesus Christ is the central figure and the
standards of the Bible are correct and
where its laws are followed people will
do only and always what is right. This
is well illustrated by the history of
nations. The public sohool should aid in
the instruction of God's Word. It is, full
of all good and is the world's great need.
Study the Bible at home and take it to
the S. S. Helps should not find a place
in the school, they should be left in the
home. These helps often tend to 'shirk-
ing hard and faithful study. It does the
pupil more good to have the teaoher
speak to them rather than reading from
helps. The R. C. public schools in Que
boo devote several hours nob. week in
teaching the Scriptures.
Thos. Strachan, Rev. 11. Paul, Rev. A.
W. Dever and others took np the discus.
sion. Out of it came the thoughts thee
the Bible should be in the pabllo schools.
Lesson helps may be very benefioial.
More study should be given to the les-
sons and helps should be disoarded in the
sohool.
"The place of the Catechism in the
Sabbath Sohool" wee Rev. R. Paula sub.
jeot. The Bible ie a divine book and
should have first place in out homes and
schools and the Oateobism ehould come
next as it teaches the fundamental prin.
elutes of the Bible. It should be taught
because (1) It speaks of the attributes of
God, the benefit of Christ, the future re-
ward ; (2) On account of the question
and answer form and they should be cam.
witted to memory and are more likely to
impress the pupils ; (3) It helps lead
the obild to Christ. We need all the
ways and means at our command to
proaeoute our work.
In the disouseion of the subject it was
said ; — The Catechism teaches the
doctrines of the ohuroh and should be
taught at home and recited in sohool.
Catechism is a summary of Scriptural
doctrines. The denominational phase
is not the most important. Ib sets out
systematically and progressively the
dootrinee and ordinances of the Bible.
Indootrinatiug the &elidren thoroughly
was recommended. Rev. J. Ross, B.
Gerry, T. Straoban and Rev. J. Holmes
took part in the disonsaion.
Rev. 11. E. Curry, of Ethel, was not
present owing to illness.
An open Parliament on "The Home
and School" in whioh 55 questions were
freely discussed by many delegates, both
ladies and gentlemen taking part. The
questions were printed upon sheets of
paper and distributed.
A obarge to keep I have" was oheerily
sung.
Hidden Forties," was the title of e,0
address by Rev. David Rogers, of Blue -
vale, The hidden power is seen in both
Nature and Grace. God must be kept
close to his work, The acorn is one of
the hidden forces and we see its outcome
in the oak, the stalely ship and enlarged
commerce. Young people should be
plodders and should aulbivate industry,
temperance and piety. John Wesley
was mstanoed as a hidden force, as was
Robert Raikes, in the Sabbath sohool
work. Michael Angelo, .Raphael, Eraga•
nine and Lothar were set out as the pre-
parers of the way of the Lord. The ad-
dress was short lent it was thoughtful
and encouraging,
