FOURTH DAY'S YROCZEDINOS.
The Institute met, pursuant to adjourn.
merit, at half past two o'clock r. at.
President J. R. ; Newell to tte Chair
The first half hone Was spent is devo
tional exercises. •
The first subject proposed for discus
sion was "Sabbath School Sepal-bites-,
dente," which was opened by RU. Thos. i
H. Hanna. What the general - is to the
army, or the president, to the bank, the
Superintendent is to the Sabbath School.
The smoky is brave as the general Is brave ,
the bank prospers in proportion to the
qualifications of its president. So a Sab
bath School never rine above the level
of its Superintendent. Who shall the
Superintendent be, and "what shall be
his qualifications ? its should be a man
of influence, respected and looked up to.
It is a mistake to select a man because
he has funds orl active In church affairs
Ho should bare executive abitity xelf-1
centre/ and iess. tie should see that
his laws are obeyed. He needs firmness 1
to keep quiet those Inveterate talkers I
who go the rounds to make speeches. I,
There are "prayer meeting killers,"
who go about to kill prayer meeting!.' .
There are also "Sabbath School killers."
To them let the Superintendent say no.
He should have nerve to turn out ineffl-
chin teachers and refuse those who are
not competent. He must be kind and
,
affable, mild, polite, gentlehearted -- a
perfect gentleman: He should be able to
gain the confidence of the children and
have them look to him as • friend. He I
should be an ambitions.man: try to stand I
the highest and have a "model school." I
Open thscussioon of above tonic follow , ,
id. W. H. Knx said he was pleased I
and gratified with the remarks of Rev. I
Hr. Hanna. He thought the Superin- ,
' tenchmt aright to be the next best Man I
in the church to thb pastor. Be should I
be a man of marked per
- Be I
must poises strong sympathy and lore I
for the children. Then he must have 1
self-contred; never lose his temper. As a
grain of iodine would tincture a gallon of
want r,so a hasty word would soon
per
meatethe whole school with hi evil W-
TlOOOOO5. A very (important element In
his character is enthusiasm, -without
which he can never be eminently ni
fn. The Superintendent mut be rm e
thely consecrated to the work or he can
never intoned. Rev. W. J.' Reid said the
superintendent must be a "live man,"
not "too slow in the motion." He knew
a minister once who was very
slow in rising in the pulpit to preach,
and the people called him "The Rising
Moon." Mr. Rabe thoughV the Super.
intendent should be eminently pions,
and in this respect not *wend to any
man In the church, not even the pastor.
One important qualification was close
communion with fled._ Joel Kerr, Esq.,
had been • Superintedistit for ten years,
and ho had greet faith In earnestness
and Industry. He started his school in
a carpenter'. shed; now it was one of the
beet - in the ci Bow. J. S. Sands
thought the superintendent should be
varyan in ventive man, In order that he ht
the exercises and present mi ne g w
plans and modes of working. Superin
tendents were not perfect; they had their
peculiar) faults hke other men. We
ought hate expect too much fron them.
We cannot find all these genii/cations
in ally one man.
Next came • "Blackboard Exercise,"
tangnt by D. Cooper, Esq. Subject,
"The Boyhood of Jesus," taken from the
lest number of the series of lessons pub
lished ' in the " National Sab
bath School Teacher " of Chica
go. The lemon throughout was
a great lumen. The teacher held the
', attention of the clue tinted the entire
time of the lesson. He seemed to be toi
-1 conscious of thepreaence of any person
M arge
himself and the children. The
large audience listened with

a black-hoard lesson of the "Prodlgel

I now one of the beet boys in the school.
President Newell was in faeor of the
I black-board, but didn't , drnow that he
I waseeady to introduce Rant° the pulpit
[ as yet. -
"Helmand Hinderances to the Sabbath
School Work" was next presented for
discussion. Dr..l. B. Clark opened by
an earnest and eloquent ,address. The
[ Sabbath School work was like all other
works, it needed help, and it also had
1 its hinderances. The first help he would
I mention was earnest teachers—teachera
I that understood child nature. Personal
I tation to the homee of the children
I was a chief help. The interest of the
[ parents and their Of the school
was a great help tovisitation
the teachers. Some
perenta'never were in the Sabbath Soh
wcas
ol
in theirlife. Liberal pecuniary aid
one of the greatest helpa. The first
'Underlines he would mention, was the
irregulanty of the teachers, and also of
the scholars. Parents ars responsible
for the Irregularity of their children.,
The neglect of home Instruction was an. I
other hindrance. The church lacked the I
proper mi4rianary apira. How many of
them go out into the lanes and alleys
and highways so Brother Rabe here is
doing? If the church possessed the
proper missionary spirit so many chit
dren would not be outside the Sabbath
School,, suing., _
“lio one weal for sii load.”
The above topic was then thrown open
'for dlectutalon. Mr. Gillespie believed
teachers' meetings to be one of the great-,
eat helps. The teachers can come to
gether and compare notes and unite In
prayer for their common work. One
great hindrance was inconapetent and In.
efficient teachers.
T. H. Rabe, Chairman Business Com
mittee, announced the last union of the
Institute to commence this evening at
half past seven o'clock. The subject for
discussion would be "Personal Conse
cration."

The subject for discussion for the even.

our Eva. Personal consecration brings
joy and peace on earth and afterwards
eternal rewards.
Rev. Mr. Andrews was the next'epeek

Jonathan Edwards in early youth conga.
crated himself, soul, body
and spt, to
the service of God. We have been con.
secreted to God by our parents. We
have consecrated ourselves when we
professoil the name' of the Lord. Let
our motto be "Ready for either"—for
work or merino°. Work does not com
prise all of consecration. Sacrifice
necessary. A man not willing to mewl-
Ace is not consecrated as yet.
A part of the 146th Psalm was then
man& after whlch. Rev. Mr. Spear con
tinued the diactueslon. Be thought that
one great reenit,of these meetings was
their Influence to cause all to consecrate
themselves to the Lord. The circum

ought to make us more consecrated. '
Another consideration that ought to In

ourselves immediately and ror eternity.
Major Frew followed. Re said: The
Rev. Theodore Cuyler pledges all who
enter his church to work for Christ either
In the Sabbath School, Tract Society, or
in some other way. Many feel that as
loon as they enter the church they can
sit down at rest. Thegrand Ideal that the
Church
is aggressive. We should carry
the gospel to the ends of the earth.
The Chairman announced that it there
was any miscellaneous business it
would now beattended to.
