Union and Rev, Mr. Zeigler opened the subject of “Method of Teaching,” offering some | valuable thoughts and was followed the same topic by Rev. S. W. Baker, Rev. M. L. Cook took the method | adopted in his Sunday school, First, inquire the object of teaching and then apply the method, Teach Christ; the teachers meet they should interchange ideas, and dis an | cuss all the topics, taking a verse at a prayer; use all the lesson helps and Bi- ble commentaries at hand ; search for passages bearing on the subject, Mr. 5. W. Ganoe followed with ree ommendations in regard to methods, his remarks being exeecedingly appro priate, Rev. Zeigler then said he thought the teacher had received instruction, but how about the children to be taught? He recommended home instruction as the initiatory step. Rev. Mr. Prideax followed in a similar vein and said that parents are especially remiss in instruc. ing their children, showing » great in- difference to their spiritual welfare. As we cannot secure the co-operation of parents, the best method of teaching the children is a question diffieult to answer. Afwer more remarks by Rev: o Cook and Zeigler, the topic was dropp- ode Music by the choir followed, after which the topic of “8S. 8. Literature” was introduced, Rev. M. K.

Zeigler, speaking on this subjects condemnuad certain Sunday-echool pa- pers now being sent out by publishing houses, He named particular David Cook's Chicago Magnet also Everybody's Magazine and Labor of love, which, he said are to be touched with caution. There are others which he could not then name. Rev, Pridesux agroed with Rev. Foster, nnd asked where are the good old books of years gone by? and de plored the ajimost universal use of sen: sational, trashy literature, gotten up to please the eye and cater tothe de- praved taste, and not to lead to higher and noble sims. His remarks were elo. quent, Rev. Zeigler said what he thought might possibly furnish a new topic and that was the almost entire abolishment of the good old fashion cus. tom of giving tickets, He wished them to cocae into use again, the use of rewards. He condemned The following committees were then snygounced and requested to have their reports ready for the afternoon session’ On Resolutions—Rev, M, K. Foster, | chairman, Rey, Wm.

The resolutions were taken up seriatim and are as follows: Your committee oa resolutions would | { offer their report— | 1. As a convention, we reaffirm our | devotion to the Sunday school work. 2. We would emphasize the impor tance of home instruction to secure the | best results in the Sunday-school. }. As to the method of leaching. we Lelisve the object had in view should be to lend the children to Christ, and that this can best be attained by teach | ing devoutly from the Bible, ratifer than | | from lesson leaves, that Scripture, that | | the truth may | certainly appear, | 4. Recognizing the importance of a sound and wholesome Sundiv school litersture, we would recommend that the more clearly great care be taken to secure school such papers and books, and such | only as willlbear the test of very close examination. In our jadgment, | books and periodicals of the denomina | tional publishing houses, the Amrrican | Sunday School Union, and American | Tract Society, are to he preferred to | those of outside and irresponsible pat- ! lishers. 5 We recommend | schools should be made the officers and teachers showing them | selves interested, and that the exercises | should be made attractive with good musir, and that should be made olmerved as many be i deemed expedient, 6. lu our judgment, it is highly de sirable, and we believed in almost every | case possible, to keep our schools in ae | tive existerce all the year siound, 7. We believe in the propriety and} | great mys | teaching in the Sunday school as will effecrually prevent men and women, Andin this connection we would most heartily endorse the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and bid them God speed in their work. 8. As a convention, we extend our thanks to the citizens of Port Matilda for their generous hospitality ; to the Presbyterians for the use of their most excellent music. 0. We also unite in a voteof thanks to the officers of the County Association and the Executive Committees for the efficient manner in which they have performed their several duties, Respectfully sabmitisd, M.

Rev, Mr. Prideaux followed, suggesting that to become interested ourselves is a sure way to have interest imparted to the schools. Rev. Mr, Ganoe adyoost- ed good music and plenty of it, but de- precated the custom of allowing anyone to come into the school and talk it to death, Rev. Mr. Zeigler asked the question; Does it mean keeping inter. est during the whole year? The next topic. “Supplemental Les sons,” was touched upon briefly by Rev Mr. Cook, He objects to anything ex: cept the word of God in the Sunday- school, and when that is followed he sees no place for Supplement Lessons, Before the question was passed finally | Rev. that sup- | plemental lessons should particularly { be the 23d Psalm, the | &e. Then the topic, “Evergreen Sunday. Rey, Zeigler, | whie h he explained moans the Sunday | schouls kept up all the year around, keeping always abreast of the times,'and like the evergreen, their Crittenden explained Apostles Creed, { schools,” was opened by maintaining | verdure and freshness, After a hymn by the choir, Rev, Mr, Crittenden opened the children's meet. ing, Rev.
