The first, session opened at 2.30. Mrs. Wm. Cook, presidvnt, conduct,- ing the opening exercises and neces- sary business. In he): address she em- phasized the interdenmninabionaliy of the Conventiun and stat-ed the aim of this cunveuLion was to discuss the best. methods of teaching the S. 8. lessons to the children. The Vaughan Sabbath School Asso- ciation assemble-d in then- nineteenth annual convention in the Prosbyter- inn church, “'(nodbridge, on January 23 and 24, 1900. FIRST SESSION, TUESDAY AFTERNOON. Mr. T. L. Mofl’att, \Veston, was the i first speaker on the programme. He taught the next S. S. Lesson by use of the blackboard, in a clear, easy-under- stood manner, bringing out soniegood ideas as how to touch the S. S. lesson. Mr. Alfred Day, Sec’y P. S. S. A., addressed the mass-meeting of child- ren on right-living using as an illustra- tion a ship describing the. various ports and drawing grand lessons in such a. manner that the children read- ily understood him. Mr. Day was simply grand in his address; Benedic- tion by Rev. J. W. Stewart. SECOND SESSION. After devotional exercises by Rev.T. A. \Vattson, Rev. A. E. Henderson, \Voodbridge, took up the subject, Hin- drimces in S. S. \Vork. They are many, nevertheless the S. S. is pros- pering. One hindrance is the unpre- paredness of the teachers; :mothu' luck of punctuality on the part of teachers, officers and scholars; also keeping order in the whole school; class difficulties; parents leaving an unfavorable opinion of the teacher by talking unkindly in the presence of children; uninterestedness of peuents in the S. S. work. “'hutever the diffi- cultv it can be overcome by God’s helg. Much enthusiasm greeted Mr. Alfred Day when he arose on the platform to give his address on Snul prayer in 8.13. work. The origin of soul puwer has its authentication in the Bible where it. states that» Gnd breathed into man the Breath of Life and man became a Living Soul. Soul power must be re- generated; it is not the work of deâ€" velopment. Results of Soul powerâ€"â€" it overcomes hindrances in S. S. work, its raises expectancy through faith, enables us to discern the working of the Holy Spirit in our scholars, it draws the scholars to the teat-her and helps them to teach the lesson. Mr. Day was interesting and instructive in his address. Benediction by Rev. VV. ‘V. Reid. THIRD SESSION. Opening exercises by Rev. A. E. Hvudexson. The report of the treasurer showed a balance of $9.65. Statistical report showed 19 schools rvpm-ted, with 69 male teachers and 76 female teachers, atotal of 14-3, and 661 male scholars and 606 female, making a total of 1257, of which 252 are professed church members, and $827.67 given to mission causes. Bible Study and Blhll' Knowledge Bible Study and Blhll' Knowledge was the first subject on the [)1 ngramme and was ably lead by Rev. T. A. \Vat- son of VVe-stnn. He spoke of the gen- eral knuwlcdge and also of knowledge in detail. A teacher should neglect Vaughan S. S. A. neither. but Should make a. thorough study .0f the Bible first in general then in detail. A general discussion followed, the pn-sident ape-ning it, and followed by Mr. J. \Villiams, Rev. A. E. Hender- son and others. Benediction by Rev. T. McLaughlin. FOURTH SESSION. Devotional exercises by Mr. J. Ab- kinsm). The Benefits of S. S. Work in Gen- eral, subject ussi ned to Rev. C. Cock- ing, King City, ut being unable to attend senta. written address, which was read by Rev. A. E. Henderson. It stated that the S. S. has turned an army of good Christian characters out which has a great influence on society in general ; this was clearly proven in the article, which was excellent, edu- cating and refining. How to Hold the Larger Boys in the S. 8., was ably handled by Rev. S. L. \V. Harton, Carr-ville. In his address be impressed the idea of adaptability of a, teacher to a class. This could only be accomplished by patient, prayerful study, not only of the lesson, hutulso of the scholar. He also ad- vocated presenting the Truth, which is many sided. to girls who are being under the gentler environments of life, while the boys are surrounded by more of the stern realities, and there- fore must he reached by the More act- ive side of Truth, which he ably illus- trated hypxauxples.’ In the discussion Rev. A. E. Hender- son thought that, the gentler side of Truth should he presented to the boys and show them that it, is as noble, as heroic, to be gentle, loving, forgiving as_to be stem and courageous.
