SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTlON.—Ea
tAusiatgic meting of friends of the Sabbath,
School.—lnterestiny session and a good time
generally.—The Second Annual Meeting of the
Huntingdon County Sabbath School Associa
tion, assembled in the Court House, pursuant
to previous announcement, on Wednesday
morning of last week, at 10 o'clock.
The circumstances were not very encoura
ging, as the heavy rain of the previous night
it was thought would be unfavorable for the
attendance cf the friends front the country,
but notwithstanding, quite a large and re
spectable assemblage of earnest and energetic
Sabbath School workers from different parts
of the county were in attendance at the open
ing of the first session, and when the iron
tongue of the old Court House bell sounded
its first notes on the balmy air of one of the
balmiest of May mornings it became apparent
that the great Sabbaths School army was in
motion and was advancing to the work.
The place of meeting was comfortably fitted
up for the occasion, and decorated with
wreaths and festoons of evergreen, and appro
priate mottoes, in a manner highly creditable
to the committee of preparation.
The preparations for a supply of music, both
vocal and instrumental, were such as to attest
the faithfulness and efficiency of the committee
having this department in charge, and the
committees on reception, appointed by the
different churches had performed their part so
admirably that abundant preparation was
made for accommodation of all present who
saw proper to avail themselves of the hospital
ity of our citizens.
OPENING EXERCISES.
The Convention was called to order by the
President, K. A. Lovell ? Dui., who, in a few
brief remarks, reviewed the events of the post
year, and exhorted the friends of the muse to
be earnest in the Master's work.
A half hour was spent in devotional exer
cises, reading of the scriptures, singing and
prayer, participated in by Revs. Brown, Zahn
izer, Kissler, and others.
A. G. Ewing, Esq., Dr. G. W. C. James, and
B. F. Glasgow, Esq., were appointed tempo
nary secretaries.
J. R. Simpson, Esq., B. F. Weidman, P. H•
Bence, Capt. John Brewiter, David Dunn, Esq.,
and Samuel IleVitty, Esq., were appointed a
committee on business,who reported, recom
mending as the exercises Mr the remainder of
the session, a general interchange of senti
meat and opinion in reference to the object of
the convention and the manner of conducting
the exercises.
The report was accepted, and the discussion
participated in by Rev. Xisler, of Water Street,
D. Hare, of Porter township, S. B. Chaney, of
Huntingdon, Rev. J. D. Thomas,' of Stone
Creek, J. B. Giles, of Petersburg, Rev. John
Palmer of Broad Top, Rev. D. M. Giles, of
Petersburg, and Rev. J. D. Brown, of Carlisle,
the general tenor of the remarks being in re
gard to the difficulties in securing teachers in
the country schools, the best Sabbath
school ILerature, the propriety of blackboard
illustration, and uniformity of lessons, with
some valuable suggestions as to the best meth
ods of meeting many of the difficulties and im
proving the schools by a faithful and conscien
tions discharge of the duties obligatory on
every church member, in connection with this
branch of eh ristian duty.
The business committee announced the
hours of meeting from 9 till 12 in the fore
noon, from 2 till 5 in the afternoon, and from
7 1-2 till 9 1 tin the evening. Programme for
this afternoon, first half hour Devotional exer
cises, followed by 15 minutes to general
business, after which the discussion of
the object of Sabbath school teaching,
to be opened by Reverned J. W. Plan
nett in a speech of ten minntes, followed by
addresses of 5 minutes each, and the subject
of the teacher's preparation for his work, to
be opened by Rev. J. Kistler, the balance of
the time to be devoted to devotional exercises.
Adjourned till 2 o'clock, P. M.
AFTERNOON.
The Convention was called to order by Rev.
J. J. Ker, of Huntingdon, and the half hour's
devotional exercises consisted of reading the
Scriptures, prayer and singing, participated in
by Messrs. Greene, Plannett, frown, Palmer,
and Thomas.
The following persons were announced by
the Chair as the committee on enrollment and
statistics :
J. E. Smucker, of Huntingdon ; D. W. Giles,
of Petersburg ; J, S, Isenberg, of Porter town
ship; John Douglas, of Shirley township, and
J. 31. Stonebraker, of Brady township.
Rev. J. W. Plannett, in opening the subject
assigued for discussion, said t
There was but one object in • - Sabbath
School teaching, which was to conimunicute
such a knowledge of God and our relations to
Him as to lead us to love and obey Him. The
State has amply provided for the instruction
of the children in letters for at least five days
during the week. Eviry disciple of Jesus ne
cessarily must act under the commission of
the Great Master, to teach every ermiture what-.
soccer He has commanded.
Religious culture is fearfully neglected in
many families, and the duty must be perform
ed by generous, chriefian effort or remain un
done. This object should control fife teapher
in the selection of his books, his lessons and
his prayers, and he should go to work with
this one object in view.
Rev. J. P. Brows, said
The object of Sabbath Schools was refor•
matory. One error is that they are looked
upon by some people as a substitute for home
training. One of the great objects is to gath
er up and train for God those who would have
no religious instruction were it not for these
institutions.
Rev. J. D Thomas, opposed the use of spel.
ling books is the schools, as being, yl,e;riven
tal to the primary obieet.of Sabbath 'School In
struction, which was not to teach them to pe4d
and write, but how the Lard Jesus has died
for sinners. He advocated the use of the
blackboard in illustrating scriptural truths
before the minds of the pupils.
Chaney, said
The great object was to know• what the
scholars need to train them for rleayep and
immortal life, and to begin where it is needed
most. He would direct his attention to the
correction of the most prominent evils to
which he found bis class addicted, and follow
it up through the week. We used not always
go to the small boys and girls to And those
who know and hear little of Christ and. Him
crucified.
Rev. G. W. Zahnizer, said :
The highest obligation we have is to glorify
God in bringing the children to Christ. We
are the workers, with the material before us.
We employ the instrumentality, and God gives
the efficiency. Teachers, to accomplish arty-
thing, must have power with God at the Mercy
seat.
The next object is the salvation of these
children. We are to tell them first of their
lost condition , and then of the remedy, and
how God is His mercy applies it.
Mr. Foster, said ;
Another question perhaps should be deci
ded before reaching a conclusion on this one.
Is it right for rue to teach little children to
spell and read on Sunday? If not we had
better not do it. if so then it is a question of
expediency. if it ba lawful to do so on the
Sabb Atli, then it may be done in the Sabbath
school. If unlawful then this does not sanctify
the act. The object is to teach Christ, and if
the children cannot read or spell it is unfor
tunate.
Dr. Wilson, of Birmingham, did not believe
that the church of Jesus Christ was sent here
simply to prepare men fur eternity. We glorify
God by fitting men to discharge the duties of
life. My business as a minister or in any oth
er profession, is to wield my influence for the
benefit of my fellow man. One thing is to
bring the heart of the child to Christ, and an
other to educate the mind of the child.
Mr. Mare, said :
Like the farmer, wo must cultivate and
prepare the soil, and them ,tract to 11.4
Power for the increase,
.T.bg fret object is

so must we. .
Mrs. D, Clarkson, of Cassville, was nn infani
class teacher, and taught the children out of
the bible. Very early in the hiotory of the
young child it can be taught that there is a
God, a loving.,God, to whop► it shall give ac
count in days to come. Circumstances do not
require me to teach the alphabet, but I take
the young child and tell it the story of the
Cross, so sweet to every child's ear. Every
child loves to linger on that old, old story of
hots , Jesus came and died. I make them a lit
tle story out of the bible and interest them in
this. We have the Ilcrea,n .Lessons and the
Leaf Cluster for the children, with their scrip
ture stories and illustrations. There is more
scripture in these little lessons than in the
spelling book. The little ones may he required
to spell the names in order to fix them in their
memory. , The bible should be.. rend, not so
much to teach them to read as to teach them
the great truths therein contained, and impress
the truths of the gospel on their minds.
D. M. Giles wished to know where teachers
could be procured if we take as high a stand
as some hare taken. To teach true religion
requires a very bigli degree of piety and intel
ligence.
Hon. D. Clarkson said children could be
taught to love and reverence God befbre being
taught to spell or read. The object, and the
whole object, is to teach them that there is a
God, and the way to Heaven.
Rev. J. D. Thomas would inquire if people
will not send their children to day school to
be educated, whether they would send them
to the Sabbath school to be educated.
S. G. Miller, Esq., of Broad Top, said in their
school they had an efficient member who never
went to the public school, and learned all Ile
knew from the Sabbath school. It is not so
much in the books as in the teacher, and In
the way children are taught. A great many
refuse to send their children to the public
schools or to go with them to the Sabbath
schools. • •
J. F.-Giles said the primary object of Soli
bath school teaching is to make Christians and
save souls, and secondly to make good citizent•
No man has the qualifications for a good citi
zen without intelligence. Children must be
taught to read in order to have the acquire
ments of good citizenship, and a large number
never attend school.
• Mr. Palmer thought the Psalmist, David, had
given the sum and substance of the object of
Sabbath schools when he said "come and I
will teach you the fear of the Lord." Children
do not need to be educated before they can be
taught the way from earth to heaven. The
young and tender minds of children can be
impressed with religious truth by means of a
simple lesson on the blackboard. He illustra
ted his method of teaching familiar Scripture
truths to infant classes by means of this agency.
The subject of The. Teacher's Preparation
for his Work, was then opened by Mr. Kistler,
who remarked
That it was necessary first to haven proper
conception of the greatness of the work, and
the material required. There is no greater
work than training the mind of the child when
upon it depends their everlasting happiness or
woe. Can the blind lead the blind? Is a
teacher capable of leading a child to Jesus who
has not the grace of God is his heart? He
should be a man of prayer.
A man entirely ignorant of letters cannot
teach. Teachers do not make sufficient moral
or mental preparation, and the cause of chil
dren not attending the school rests with them.
Dr. B. B. Hamlin said:
No sphere of activity required more thorough
preparation and peculiar adaptation than that
of the Sunday school teacher.
The first .po int is a distinct comprehension
of the truth you propose to teach, which re
quires study in all directions.
The second is a thorough sympathy with the
truth. No book is understood•unless in sym
pathy with the author. This sympathy is to
be acquired by prayer. ,
The third point is power to illustrate the
truth. A man may comprehend it but fail for
want of this power. He should he able to
simplify and illustrate truth by qatural objects.
Fourths, love of children, sympathy with
them, and a comprehension of their capabili
ties, and the worth of the child's moral na
ture, the thorny path it has to travel, the con
flicts it has to meet, the battles to fight and
dangers to encounter as it struggles through
earth to heaven. All this is requisite in the
way of preparation.
Rev. J. D. Brown, said :
The same prepartaion required by the prea
cher to interest, edify and benefit his congre
gation, is required of the teacher. He must
study, pray and visit. To know the truth is
one thing; to be able to teach it quite anoth
er. The teacher must learn to illustrate.—
Likes and illustrations are remembered long
after sermons are forgotten. The secret of Gen.
eral Sherman's military success was in under
standing the topography of the country. The
teacher to be succeseful must visit the scholars
at their homes.
Mr. Zahniaer was of the opinion that it was
not necessary to be tIMPI4OI
Personal piety, Kaye!, pindloye fqc Children
will qualify if teacher to do good,
Mr, Decker maintained That love for the
work, and ambitimt.ttre essential to success.
-Children are naturally anibitious• and became
disgusted with the teacher who fails in this
particular.
Mr. J. F. Giles contended that the prepare
lion did not all lie with the teacher. Super
intendents and officers should come prepared
1 for the work.
• ' John Porter, ESQ., said:
' No teacher should engage in this work ex
cept from a love of it. Love is the ground
work, and one grand object is to secure the
love and esteew pf the children, which can
only be done by manifesting love to them,—
No teacher should engage in this solemn work
without looking to God for wisdom and di
rection.
Mr. Palmer had beau compelled to organize
the first Sabbath school in his district in an
orchard under the 40e-trees. Where find
praying men and women there to engage in
teaching ?
Is it indispensably necessary that they must
be praying men and women in orderto become
teachers in the Sabbath school ; one of, the
most r,eglgcted requieitca islhat of visiting
the homes of the children, not only for their
sake but for. the good influence it has on the
parents:.
Mrs. D. Clarkson, thought the question was
answered the Saviour himself in the three
fold question and injunction to the elder of
the disciples, "Lowest thou me?" dc.
We have no better guide than thisin saying
that the teachers should be converted. God
forbid that it should - drive good men out of
the Work ; but rathet that it should drive good
men into the work, and into the church of
- Ohrist whore there is room and to spare for
every sue. If the church. of tied-would come
out of the wilderness and take the positive
stand in spiritual things which it is her privi
lege to do we would not now be lamenting
for fathers, mothers, and children who have
gone to the grave without hope and without
God in the world. The day has come when a
strong Ilse must be drawn between the church
and the world. Why compromise with the
world for the sake of retaining a few families
in the church or for fear of losing some polit
ical influence? The Bible is the guide to our
salvation and should be the rule of our lives,
and its teachings will not lead us astray. We
care not what the world calls us ; they called
our Master a devil. I have known instances
of very immoral parsons heiqg made teachers
in order to compromise a little. if God calls
a teacher into His vineyard to work Ile will
give him the talent. It is enough to know
that they are followers of the meek and lowly
Jesus, and had the salvation of souls at heart
that theyl love the work and the little ones'
because God so loved them that he gave his,
only begotten son to save us.
What preparation must an unconverted
teacher make ? You say they pwst pray. Dow

souls may be born again of the spirit, and
made new men and women in Christ ?

EVENING SESSION.
A very large audicnce in attendance, the
room being crowded almost to suffo
cation and a large number of persons stand
ing in the aisle unable to obtain seats.
At the conclusion of the devotional exer
cises the address of Dr. J. H. Wintrode was
delivered in his usual masterly style of elo
quence and oratory, and was listened to with
the most profound attention. It was an able
production and one of rare beauty, sublimity
and excellence, to attempt a synopsis of which
would convey but a faint idea of its merits.
Dr. Wilson, in opening the subject assigned
him, said he had been trying to work out that
problem during thirty years of uninterrupted
connection with the Sabbath school. If he
had any connection with the Sabbath school
work it was as a christian man, and because
it was a christian work, a part of that which
the Divine Master gave to His church on earth.
The church bad a two fold work, educational
and missionary, the former given by the great
Lawgiver long before the establishment of the
church in its present form. It devolves upon
me as a christian father to educate my child
for God and His service. The church is
bound to assist me if I am defective.
I am under equal obligations as a Christian
man, in obedience to the command of the Sa
viour to gather in the neglected children and
leave upon them the impress of my christian
hand and spirit, and to give my presence,
countenance, and co-operation in e , ery
thing that belongs to the outward
management and organization of this work, in
order to make it, in accordance with its true
character, a polished quiver in the hands of
those who wield it for the accomplishment of
the work it is intended to do.
At the conclusion of his remarks he intro
duced. as a fellow laborer in former years,
whom he had unexpectedly met there, Dr.
Cattell, of Lafayette College, who entertained
the audience for some time in a very interest
ing, instructive and highly entertaining ad
dress on the subject under consideration, to
gether with a most interesting account of his
travels and experience amongst the followers
of John Huss in Bohemia, on his first visit to
the synod at Prague.

by Rev. J. D. Brown.
THURSDAY MORNING.
The devotional exercises were led by Rev.
J. Kistler, and consisted of reading scripture,
singing and prayer, participated in by quite a
number of those present.
The regular exercises were opened with the
subject of Object Teaching, presented in a
clear, forcible and attractive manner by Rev.
J. D. Brown. Object Teaching he said was
about the oldest teaching we have any knowl
edge of. The bottle broken by the Prophet,
conveyed a most impressive lesson. The two
baskets filled with good and bad figs was a
forcible illustration of God's ability to take
care of His people in captivity, and of the
inability of others to take care of themselves.
The tile sketch of Jerusalem, drawn by Ezekiel,
and the cooking of his dinner with the vilest
of fuel, conveyed the most sublime and terri
We illustration of the investment of the city
by its enemies. Bunyan speaks of Eye-Gate as
well as Ear-Gate, and the lesson is made
doubly impressive by the use of both. Two
knives, one bright with use and the other
rusty from inactivity, illustrated forcibly the
impression of earnest christian activity. The
blackboard is a valuable auxiliary in teach
ing children. In eastern countries they teach
mostly by parables and. allegory. Christ
taught humility by a little child, and confi
dence in God's Providence by the lillies of the
field and the birds of the air, and we should
imitate the example of our Great Teacher.
The subject of Sabbath School Literature
was then opened by Dr. Vantries.
From fifty to seventy-five per cent. of the
present literature is composed of a class mod
eled after the novels and stories of the day,
made to Write in with the current of popular
sentiment. Men are got into the Sabbath
school rather than into the Kingdom. The
books are more popular than profitable, and
unfit the mind for the rolls!' of sqlid religious
truth. Ifnaerely an educator of youth he Would
enter a solemn protest against some of the Sab
bath school literature of the present day, and
have it banished on the ground that it culti
votes and fosters a depraved literary taste.
The remedy is with ourselves and must ho
effected by discarding the great mass of this
light literature and getting libraries that will
instruct and profit, and have a tendency to fill
the mind with religious truth.
The further discussion on this subject was
animated and took a somewhat wide range.
It,. Mr. Mteeklo cqnottrewl in some !pens
nre with the speaker, and recuunneuded
sifting of the literature so as to prevent false
food from being administered to the children,
Mr, Weidman thought that Impressive
truths are taught under fietieious titles. The
Saviour taught by parables very impressively,
to those who would not receive instruction
any other way.
John Williamson, Esq., was opposed to
sweeping away any of the literature of his
church. Some of the stories might be highly
19,31404 lout carry with them the weight of
truth and awaken the sympathy of the child,
D. Dunn, Esq., was in favor of a reform in
the literature, including the music.
Mr. Conrad thought it wrs lowering the
standard of our schools to say that trashy
literature was used by them,
Mr. Stonebreaker, would be glad to lay
aside any such literature if found in his school.
Ur. Hare concurred in the declaration, and
considered the literature of our Sabbath school
now superior to that of 20 years ago. Plain
stories of good men, and references drawn
from the bible.
Dr. Hamlin wished to know the title of some
of the obnoxious books, and their defects.
Mr. Zahnizer said the books of his church
all reviewed by a committee, and he supposed
it to he the same with reference to other
churches. The trouble was in the careless;
nese of those who purchased the libraries.
Mr. Lane thought we had a great deal of
valuable literature in the Schools, and on the
other hand some that should be cast out. The
mistake is in purchasing books. He favored
those of an allegorical and figurative character.
Mr. win g was in favor of a resolntion in
structing the schools to purchase publications
only that are recognized by their churches.
Mr. J. A. Brown reccommended the same
caution in purchasing music.
The discussion of the subject, low can
teachers meetings be sustained, was opened
by Rev. A. W. Decker, who recommended
uniformity of lessons, to be designated and
anuennced beforehand, which would generally
stir the teachers to study the lesson. Many
teachers want something of this kind to ar
ouse them.
Mr. Brown, had not been successful in this
direction, and bad failed to secure a regular
attendance at the teachers' meetings. The en
ergetic teachers would attend but others
would lag belilnd.
Mr. Lane had tried the system of holding
meeting at the homes of the teachers alter
nately, with good success. Whenever any
absent themselves the meeting is appointed
next time of their house. This rarely fails to
bring them out next time. ,
Messrs. Dune, Williamson, and Palmer
offered suggestions on the subject, but ac
knowledged a failure in securing a regular
attendance, and keeping up the interest of the
meetings.
Dr. Hamlin, suggested that the failure in
this respect was for the want of proper enter
tainment. As long as the preacher keeps up
the sensation the people will go to hear. The
only way to get up the meetings is by creating
in every one a sense of personal responsibility.
, Ve need to impress ourselves i•idividually, as
workers in the Sunday school with a sense of
personal obligation and conviction of duty.
This should be done by a personal applica
lion to each teacher.
Mrs. Gardner, of Spruce Creek, said the
keynote to success in this direction is perse
verance. Iu the rural district where she la
bored they had kept up their meetings regu
larly for three years. They had persevered
and found it good for thou, holding their
meetings whether there were two teachers or
two dozen in attendance, and had no idea
giving it up.
The remainder of the session was occupied
in answering the questions found in the box,
by those to whom they were assigned, all of
which were answered intelligently and satis
factorily.
The Business Committee announced, Chit.
dren's meeting at 2 o'clock this afternoon ; to
be addressed by Revs. J. D. Brown, and Dr.
Dattell, to be followed by verbal statements
from the different townships of the condition
and wants of the schools, and the remainder
of the session to be devoted to miscellaneous
business.
Adjourned with doxology, and benediction
by Rev. Dr. Cattell.
AFTERNOOX,
By the time the hour of meeting had arrived
some 300 children from the different Sabbath
schools iu town had taken possession of the
audience room, according to previous arrange
mr•nt, and were patiently and respectfully
awaiting the entertainment promised them, to
the exclusion of most of the adult spectators,
who for the time being had yielded their
places to the juvenile assembly.
The little folks were pleasantly and profita
bly entertained and amused by the addresses
of the gentlemen appointed for that purpose,
to which they listened with the most respect
ful and becoming attention.

The "Burlington Route," so called, lies right
in the path of the Star of Empire. it runs
almost immediately in the center of the great
westward'movement of emigration. Crossing
Illinois and lowa, it strikes the Mieeouri river
at three points.
These three points are the gateways into
three great sections of the trans-Missouri re
gion, . _
The- Northern gate is Omaha, where the
great Pacific road will take — you to the land of
gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and per
petual summer.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth, which
opens upon the south half of Nebraska, south
of the Platte, river, a region unsurpassed on
the continent for agriculture and grazing.
Just here are the B. eid. Railroad lands, con
cerning Geo. S. Harris, the laud officer at
Burlington; lowa, can give You all informs
tion, and in the heart of them is Lincoln, the
State Capital and present terminus of the
road.'
- The Southern gate Tends to Kansas, by con
nections with the St. Joe Road at Hamburg,
mitring direct to St. Joe and Kansas City.
The trains of tire Burlington run smoothly
and safely, and make all connections. It ran
the best of _coaches, Pullman Palace and
Pullman dining emr, turd should you take the
journey for tire journey's sake alone, you will
be repaid;. or take it to find a home or a farm
and you cannot find either better than among
the B. az IL lands, where you can buy on ten
years' credit, and at a low price. tf.
