The attendance was good, and the topics well brought out.. The aft- ernoon session was in the Methodist church and in the evening a large number came together in the Luther- an chureh for the last session. Thirty or more people represented the Bun- day schools of Centre Hall, The dis- trict is compowed of Potter and Gregg townships and Centre Hall borough, I'he next meeting, which will be in the spring, will be held the latter place, The first speaker in the afternoon was Rev. KE. E. Haney whose topic was the Qualifleations of a Bunday Bome of the requi- in HBehool Teacher. Then a competent teach- christian in belief and enthusiasm should remember that they day by example, teachers teaching every by their instruction on Other qualifications are Bible the Sabbath, being 8 church member and a i student, Discipline in the Bunday BSchool, This topic was very ably discussed by Dr. W. H. Bchuyler., He said in part The for room need good school obvious sunday Most is unfavorable to Moreover fully. Confusion is has reli- value. Men indulge practices against better judgment. They koow, " gious smd moral harmful particular line of work ; where such is the case interest will be wanting among the class, Adapt the teacher and the class and interest will growing. A second requisite is a teacher full of vital godliness. This begets convie- tion on the part of the teacher so that he comes before his class assured in his own heart of the blessedness and importance of the truths he is there to present. A consequent earnestness will therefore accompany the presenta- tion of those truths—an that will solicit interest. A third requisite is a deep Interest in the lesson on the part of the teacher. It goes without saying that Can not interest others in a matter in which he is not himself interested. Again, to interest and hold the boys, the teacher must be intensely in ear- nest and deeply in love with the work. When such is the make up of a teach- er's heart he will warm every heart that will come under his instruction. Fipally he must present the to the voys from the boys’ own stand- point. The boys have their own pe- culiar way of looking at thiogs and not make them from the standpoint of the adult, be Earnest ness one lesson Call see things | You and deal of his own The teacher was nature, but the boy was never a man and does not, must meet 8 boy as a boy with him aloog the peculiar disposition, line 1906.

The young people who indulge i the mischeivous pranks of Hallowe'e: give never a thought to the origin « this festival of mirth, which they to Pope Boniface, who away back i the year 610 set apart the first day of November to be observed as All Saints Day.

Besides, he is more likely to be held by a school that insists on his good behavior than by one that lets him do as he pleases, Unruly boys who withdrew because rebuked by superintendent or teacher have been known to return in a very penitent mood and to profit by the in- struction, wheress before they learned little if anything. This is very likely to be the result where Kindoess and justice are joined to firmness. Let teachers be patient and kind, giving reasons, if possible, for what they require ; but yet insisting firmly on good order, remembering that this course may do the child more good than even the instruction given, In fact the very best teaching will not help a boy or girl who is bent on dis turbing the school or class. After all the young have great respect for order, and will respect the teacher that in- siete on order, and will learn more from one they respect than from one they do not esteem. The evening session was opened with a soug service, after which the first subject—-How to Interest and Hold the Boys—was discussed by Rev. J. M., Rearick, A summary of what this speaker said is given ; “ Teachers are born and not made,” is true of the Sunday school teacher as well as of the public school teacher. Where this fact is overlooked in the selection of teachers for the boys in our Bunday schools there will be a Inck of interest. No one can inspire interest or creale enthusissm to any extent in a cause to which they are not adapted. This is true of the pro. fessional man, of the artist and of the mechanic. It Is further true that one not born to be a teacher or an artist may attain to a measure of success by proper study and discipline, The first point advanced, therefore, ws necessary to interest and hold the boys, Is natural adaptation on the part fittle an hear! rents lead of the teacher to teach boys.

BONE DRSSREE even ss Christ the evil Buch a ready knowledge of scriplure every Sunday school scholar should have, Buch knowledge helps in the under standing sad enjoyment of all good literature. Our authors and poets are Bible scholars. Shakespeare quotes the Bible 551 times. The knowledge of scripture also aids in prayer. The quoting of seripture in prayer makes prayer touching, ellective, full of power, There are some portions of scripture every Sunday school scholar should know to memory. The ten command ments, the 19th, 23rd, 24th, 61st and 12ist Pealme, the Beatitudes, the Lotd’s Prayer, the great commission, the story of the Prodigal Sou, the 14th and 15th chapters of Johu's gospel, the 8th and 12th chapters of Romans and the 3rd of 1st Corinthians, should all be recited from time to time by classes and by the scoool from mem- ory. A good exercise is for the schol ars Lo memor.ze the text of each lesson. Buperintendent and teachers should urge more memorizing of scripture and scholars should be interested in this work. At flist it wili be a task, but will in time become a pleasure, In this way all will become more fa- miliar wits the Great Book of life, aud it will become a power in our lives, T. M. Gramiey then gave su expla- nation of the work of the Siate con- vention. He also urged the forma- tion of Normal classes for the study of the Bible, with a view to teaching.
