Association pommenoed its sessions in Knox ohuroh, Goderioh, on Monday, Jan, 281h, at 7:30 p. m., the President, James Sootb, of Clinton, in the ohair. Owing to the storm the seesion arranged for the afternoon did not take place.. The oonvention was opened with pray, er by Rev. J. A. Anderson, and singing "Onward Christian Soldiers," after words of welcome were given by Rev. Joseph Edge and R. R. Sallows, Goderioh, and replied to by Rev. Mr. Smythe and Mayor Holmes, of Clinton. ' The words of welcome and, replies thereto were very practical and appreciated by the dale, gates present. Alfred Day, Provincial S. S. secretary, addressed the oonvention on "The S. S. Teaoher'e Sixth Sense," referring to the endowment by the Creator of five senses by whioh we gained perception of our materiel environment. He stated that the sixth sense,by whioh we apprehend. ed the spiritual and intelieotual faotove we were moulding for God and society, wee common sense. He would not, how. ever, at this time ooneider the work of the S. S.teaoherfrom this standpoint as ab first intended, but would rather dwell upon one principle of effeotive teaching whioh might be designated the sixth eenee. Preparation, adaptation,00•opor-.. ation, interrogation, application, might fitly be considered analagoue in the in• telleotual and spiritual realm to the physical senses by whioh we become nog. nizaot of the material world, and the law of "Illustration" he would designate as the "Sixth Sense," The soul of a child is a walled and fortified city which can. not be reached except by the avenues God himself has appointed, the keys to which meet be possessed by the teaober who would gain acmes to the heart and life of the scholar. Reference had already been made to the five special senses, whioh, however, were not all equally sensitive and alert, the eye and the ear being mors easily accessible than the other three for the teaoher's purpose ; and of these two the eye and the ear stand in mach the same relationship as an express and freight train ; indeed the nerve convey• fag the special sense of sight was forty times as large as any of the other nerves of special sense, and the impression made through this medium is correspondingly more vivid and abiding. It follows then that for effective teaching within the lim- it of the Sabbath hour we should use as largely as may be the faculty whioh, though emphasized in the child, was common in some degree to all, for we are all eye•minded people. In proof of this be instanced the case of old Jaooh, whose sight of the wagon. Joseph had sent con vinoed him of his son's existenoe, when the testimony of the brothers was doubt ed. He referred also to tlleconoreteillustra• Live charaoter of the Judaic ritual and of the teachings of Christ. And referring to the concrete incarnation of the truth we teach in our own lives, he illustrated by a tender, loving boy, who, going home from sohool on the occasion of the lesson of the "Excellent woman," said, as he embraced his mother in tenderest affection, "We have been reading about you to -day, mother." After establishing the proposi- tion as to the valve of concrete teaching he drew the following practical deduct- ions L If the teacher is teaching through ear -gate and the boy is learning through eye -gate the teacher will suffer defeat every time, for the eye being captured the ear would be closed involuntarily. We could not hear one thing and see another any more than we could ride two horses going in opposite directions at the same time. 2. The teacher's eye must engage the eye% of the pupils, and for this purpose. must be emancipated from the slavery of lesson helps, and even the memorizing of the lesson text would greatly advantage the teacher. 3. We must, therefore, illustrate our lesson, let windows into it which will con- nect the truth with something the child already knows. and is most intensely in- terested in, whether personal or local event or nature or story. Illustrations aro various, according to the age, etc,, of the scholars, eg. : (a) Tangible objects preferable to little children. (b) Pictures whioh recall objects to mind of intermediate schools. (o).Wordpictures will impress truths on mind better than any bald statement of the truth. 4. Illustrations should always bo of ob- jects most familiar ; if the child sees the object a hundred times a day the truth will likely Dome back a hundred times. This was Christ's method, sparrow, lily, sowing, shepherd, hen, tko., &c. 5. Illustrations, if on blackboard or pad, should be doue in presence of school. In closing ho showed how the Bible was full of authority for the ust of black- boards, and said,tlie highest value would aoorue from the scholars being in pos- session of a pad and jotting down with their own hand, if nothing more, the pointe in a sentence the teacher makee.. The pencil will not move without brain direction, whilst the tongue will wag for hours, repeating litanies, creeds and golden texts without the conecioueness of the brain, and: whilst the brain climate the pencil it is impressing a duplicate Dopy on the delicate fibre of tate memory. Mr. Day's address was full of bright thoughts and was an inspiration to the large congregation present. Tb1azer 11onenve. Session opened with prayer and praise conducted by the President, after whioh the convention was called to order.. G. Swallow, Clinton, J. P. Roes, Ex. etor, and A. C. Courtiers, 'Holmeeville, the visiting committee appointed by the - executive bo assist the different wheels of the county, 'reported having visited the various school% in their district with good results. D. Tiplady, 'Clinton, representatiVe to • W. K.ERR, Prop. the Proviuoial A.ssooiation, reported bay Ing attended the last oonvention at Belle- ville, remarking that the funds given to the Provinoial Asssooiation were being used to good effeot in mission work in the Northern parts of the Province, The amount forwarded by the Oonnty of Huron Aseooiation last year was fifty dollars. In oonueotion with the reports of the Visiting committee, Mr, Day impressed upon the convection the necessity of local organizations i alis more remote the echoed, the greater the necessity of look.' iug after them and interesting thorn bettor methods of Sunday sohool work, Mt', Day also strongly advocated the ad- vantages of syetematio home study of the S. S. work, for if this study was faith., fully performed these students would S00/1 be e0 interested in the lesson that. before long they would be found in the Sunday school. An example of intermediate class teach. ing (with class) was given by Mies Wil- son, Goderioh. The lesson taught was that for Sunday, Feb. 3rd, on "The Transfiguration," found in Luke 9, 23.86. The lesson was taught in a practical manner,, and the ready and intelligent answers given by the scholars showed their previous good training in Bible truth. As Mr. Day, the general secretary, had to leave on the afternoon train, it was ar- ranged that the mass meeting be held during the morning seosicnat 10:65. The otiurob was filled with the scholars, their parents and friends. The President introduced Mrs. Humph- ries, of Parkhill,who gave a very interest- ing address to the children, on the S. S. lessons in Genesis, taught a year ago, fl, lustrating her address with simple plc- tures on the blackboard, whioh were easily understood and much appreciated by the children. Mr. Day, the general seoretary, then addressed the children in his usual happy style, interesting the little folks with sim- ple anecdotes, each illustrating great truths in such a way that the children could not fail to understand. Mr. Day is thoroughly at home when. talking to the children and a mass meet- ing in the County of Huron would not be complete without Mr. Day's presence. He is a great favorite with the children. The President nominated the following delegates as a general committee on nom- inations, general business, &c, : Revs. J. W. Holmes, J. A. Anderson, and J. P. Rose, G. W. Swallow, D. Tip - lady, A. Wesolop, I. Taylor and Jas. Scott. The session then closed. TUESDAY AFTERNOON. Session opened at 1:80 p. m., the Presi- dent id the chair. After devotional exercises G. Swallow read the treasurer's and auditors' report for the past year, and on motion of Israel Taylor it was adopted. The secretary read the report of the general sommittee as follows : The committee nominate the following as officers of the association for the cur- rent year : President, D. B. Oalbiok, Goderioh ; vice-presidents, J. P. Ross, Exeter ; Geo. Swallow, Clinton ; J. S. McKinnon, Blyth ; Win. Elder, ensall; minute secretary, Israel Taylor ; cor- respondingsecretary, J. 0. Stoneman, Hensall ; treasurer, J. 0. Stevenson, Clinton. Executive committee -.-W. H. Kerr, Brussels ; W. M. Gray, Seaforth ; R. Holmes, Jas. Scott, Clinton ; Rev. J. S. Henderson, Hensall ; A. E. Austin, Exeter ; F. Kibler, Zurich, and T. C. Graham, Wingham. The committee also recommended that next oonvention be held in Hensall ; also that the secretary be authorized to accept the kind offer of Mr. Day, the general seoretary, to forret local organizations. On motion of the secretary the reports were adopted. J. C. Stoneman, the corresponding sec- retary, presented bis report, giving all the necessary statistics in connection with the schools of the county. On motion of Rev. E. A. Fear, the re- port was adopted. R. R. Sallows, Goderioh, was appointed as representative to the nest Provinoial convention, to bo held in London next September. Tho retiring President, in a few well- chosen words, introduced the President- elect, D. B. Oalbick, who on taking his seat referred to the honor of being Preei- dent of auoh an association, and honed for still greater success in the Doming year iu the great Sabbath sohool work. Conference on S. sohool libraries was introduced by Rev. J. W. Holmes, Clin- ton, The S. S. library has been in the past a great factor in the church and S. S. work, but the quality of books general- ly found in most libraries was not such as to elevate the Christian ohmmeter of the scholar. The book that enfeebles the intellect and does not compel the scholar to think ie not fit for the libraries in our S. S. Tho speaker thought that there was too much money spent in libraries, considering specially the quality of books bought, there being eo much literature at hancl now, in free libraries, Mechanics' institute libraries; private libraries and ohuroh literature, Ona of the delegates remarked that Mr. Holmes' remarks in regard to no necessity for a S. S. library might apply to towns and villages, but would not applyto rural sections where there are no libraries. Mr. Ross, of Exeter, thought that best men were produced by the heavy and solid literature of former times. Mr, Torn, L P. 5. -Ove objeotin giving ohilkron books was to keep them out of bad company and to cultivate a taste fob reading, and starting from nursery tales and work up to the • heavier and more solid literature. Rev. W. Smyth. -Tho great object to- day is to deal with the practical, not so. much the, doctrinal, as yoare ago. Boys will love love to the end. John Washington. -Often there wag too much love and not enough solid to build up the oharactor the age demands.. Jas. Soott.-if there is danger of the children getting into bad company On the streets, eo there is in the books they read. Mrs. A. W. Humphries, of Parkhill, then taught a primary clogs, having about fifty of the little folks, The Isasoo taught was "Cbristiau Living," astound in Rom• ane xii, Dire. Humphries is evidently a s eoialist in the primary department of Sabbath work. The children were in. tensely interested as she illustrated the lesson on the blackboard and with objects in a simple yet thoroughly convincing manner, The oonvention wee evidently delighted with the scientific way in whioh the lesson was taught. Mre, Humphries is a stranger in a Huron County Convene tion, having agreed to come at the request of the executive corlimitte° to filltheplace Of Miss Brown, of Brantford, who was detained at home on account of sickness. Her oddment were much appreciated by the delegates and she will be warmly wel- comed to any future gatherings of the as- sociation. The session then closed. TOOIODAY EVLNSN0. After,devotional exercises the President intreducod Rev. W, Smythe, Clinton, who addressed the convention on the subject : "What the Sabbath school can learn from business erten." There may be and are exceptions, bub the majority of the business men of this country are honorable -and reliable even notwithstanding the opinions of some who think otherwise. One of the first things nooessary to a successful business man is integrity and uprightness. It' is impossible to engage successfully in S. S. work if these prin- ciples are not observed. The successful business man uses his whole and undivid- ed energy for the furtherance of the busi- ness he is engaged in. In Christian life the same principles must be observed, the whole heart and energymnet be in 'the work. Knowledge is absolutelynecessary to the successful business man, especially at the present time. A teacher without a practical knowledge of God's word cannot hope to do efficient work in the Sabbath sohool. Close application is absolutely necessary to be successful in the great work of the Sabbath sohool. The busi- ness man must have push) if he has not he will be left in the rear. The Sunday sohool work neede push. Satan is using all the push he is capable of to advance the interests of evil. New methods of evil are brought to the front, and unless the Sunday school brings forth new and good methods success will not be attain- ed. The successful business man must have tact. How necessary it is in Sun- day school work for the worker to have batt, to study the character of each schol- ar, to adapt the lesson as mochas possible to their individual requirements. A man may have all the necessary qualifications but unless his business was centrally lo- cated and attractive inside he could not hope for the best results. In Sunday school work the cellars, commonly called basements, are not the best places for such work. In closing, the speaker im- pressed upon the delegates the necessity of faith and prayer in the Master's work, laboring from the motive power of love, and success would eventually Drown their efforts. Mr. Smythe's address was de- livered in his usual happy and forceful style. By special request Mrs. Humphries again addressed the oonvention on prim- ary work, after which the President in- troduced Rev. G. F. Salton, who address- ed the convention on the subject, "Child Nature, its Oharooteristioe and Claims." Every child is born with the savage na- ture of its ancient forefathers. What child but loves nature in one form or an- other. Child nature is a fieid where seed is sown which will surely spring up, and what the teacher should watoh for and uproot is the weeds, which come up with the good seed. The child's nature and character are permanently formed before the age of sixteen years. There is no- thing so sublime as the work of parent and teacher in forming character for God. The parent should instil into the child's heart the reality of a noble character, as they are responsible in almost every case for the character of their children. The parent and teacher must be able to see the great possibilities of the child's char- acter. It is slow of growth but it should be so, to make tnem strong and powerful to withstand the storms of life. The corner atone of a child's character are first, Obedience -To obeyis not obedi- ence. The disposition and heart of the boy should go with the ant to make it obedience. Train the will but do not , break the boy's will. To be thoroughly equipped for the conflicts of life the child, grown to be a man, should have a trained will to be able to say yes or no as tempta- tions are placed before him. Second corner stone, Truth -Keep the boy's eyes on the truth all the time. He willsoon know the difference between truth and its opposite. Third corner stone, Love -The plant of love will grow two ways-self-loveor self- saorifice-wbiah ever way it is trained. The children belong to God, that fact should be thoroughly drilled into their minds. The ohuroh and sohool should provide suitable spiritual food for thein as regularly as it is provided for the old- er people. Mr. Salton, who so loudly came to the oonvention to take the place of Mr. Day, who had to leave, gave a thoroughly prao- tioal address, advancing certain new thoughts in oonnecbion with child nature which were much appreciated by the large audience present. Resolutions of thanks were tendered the trustees of Knox ohuroh, for the use of the church, to the speakers from outside the county, for their Helpful addresses, and to the choir, for the part they had taken in the service of song. Tho choir did splendid service in rendering several pieoes of music, which added interest to the evening session. After singing "Abide With Mo," the oonvention was btought to a close with the benediction by Rev. J. nage. 80100. In spite of the storm and partial. block- ade of the roads, the attendance at the oonvention Wag very good. The convention has been a great sue-, coss. The addressees have been of the. most practical character and cannot fail to be an inspiration to the dolegatee who: BRUSSELS PUBLIC SCHOOL. )WONTUILY EXAMINATION REPORT.
