’i‘nmil. RICHENDTEILL. ONT.. Feb. 28. 1907 CONVENTION 01“ WEST YORK S. S. ASSOCIATION. The 17th Annual Convention of the West York S. S. Association Was held in the Methodist church on Thursday and Friday last. It is 16 years avo since it met here before. and on that occasion it was the inauguration of its existence as a separate county. The convention was opened on Thursday with President Douglas in the chair. The organ was presided over by Miss \Viley and the singing was led by Mr. A. J. Hume. During the morning session Rev. J. McP. Scott of Toronto gave an excellent talk during the quiet hour. In the. afternoon Normal Diplomas to those who had successfully passed the four parts of the Teacher Training course Were presented by Rev. A. P. Brace to seven graduates and certificates of standing to four others who had be- longed to his class but had not finished the complete course. Mr. A. J. Hume gave a paper on " The Scholar and the Book " which was very favorably received by those present. and heartily endorsed by those who discussed it. Mr. Ambrose Kent took part in a very carefully prepared -address on the importance of the work. and of looking for the salvation of the youth. quoting Wonderful statistics showing that 96% of all who are led to the better way are. Won before 25 years of age. and that the. chances of change after that age are only 4%. In the eVening session Mr. Brace. the pastor of the church. gave. an address of welcome to the convention. Some. excellent music was given by the combined choirs. and a solo by Miss Ethel Swithr which Was iuucb appreciated. Rev. W. E. Hassard gave an address on the up-to- date Sunday School. The Words given by the speaker will not soon be oigotten. and if we only could come nearer to the ideal which he set up we should do much more efiicient work in this field. On Friday morning the convention was opened by Mr. J. J. Gartshore who called on Miss Hitchon of Toronto to give a talk on “How to obtain Teaching POWer." This subject Was very ably and scripturally presented. and many said that it would be a help to them in the days to come. Mr. T. P. Padget then present- ed the claims of the. homedepaitment. which werediscussed freely by the delegates and heartily endorsed. At this stagea resolution was presented to the convention deploring the fact that the dates of this convention and that of the Dominion Alliance had clashed. and a strongly worded resolution denouncing the "3-5 clause” was heartily adopted and ordered to he presented by them in their inter- view with the Provincial Parliament that day. Mr. Wm. Douglas was next called upon to give a talk on “Peisonal Work with the Scholars." The paper and its discussion seems to have made adeep impression on the convention. and much good must come. of its iii- spiring Words. The reports of the Primary Department and the, Teacher Training were given at two different periods. and heartin accepted by the convention. Mrs. Abbott had done yeouian service among the Primary workers, and was ie-elecled to her position. The Teacher Training idea \u as accepted as a grand idea. but some of the remarks of Mr. Clenimer. the Supt. Called foith warm discussion. In the afternoon session great trea ts were In store in the addresses given by Mr. H.W. Brown. the present Teacher Training Sec‘y of the. Province. and Mr. E. A. Hardy his predecessor in office: the former also gave the last Sunday’s lesson in Model form illus trated by the. blackboard. The last evening session was all that it Would be desired to be. The singing by the choir. and the song service was excellent. Solos Were also sung by Miss Marsh and Miss Switzer. Rev. James Murray of Toronto gave a fitting climax in his most enthusiastic address and left Words which will long inspire those who heard them. He took the importance of the work among the young. and quoted the strongest facts and figures to show that it was not mere sentiincntalism but the shrewdest business to consider the. youth as the most valuable of the chutch. Then was closed one of the most helpful and inspiring conventions ever attended by so many of the delegates who so warmly expressed themselves. They all spoke in the highest terms of the royal welcoineand hearty hospitalâ€" ity which had been given to them dur- ing their stay. '1 be following resolutions were passâ€" ed by the Convention 2â€"â€" 1. Expressing thanks for the success that had attempted the Work since its formation in this church 16 years ago. when Mrs. Cook.

('1' --o A NOVEL BAROMETER. THE LIBERAL has received from the, Canada Printing Ink Company. Toronto. a calendar which may be said to be both useful and ornamental. The calendar is much llike the. ordinary calendars. but the barometer is made on a different prin- ciple to those usually seen. It bears the picture of a well-fed donkey to which is attached the regulation tail. ' We cannot tell of what material the terminal a pendage is made. though it looks li e ordinary woollen yarn. The directions are as follows:â€" Hang outside. and if you find the tail dry the Weather is FAIR: if tail is Wetâ€"RAIN: if tail is swinging~ WINDY; if tail is Wet and swinging â€"-STORMY; if tail is h~o7.enâ€"â€"COI.D. We have no doubt that if the directions are followed the donkey will prove a reliable weather indicator. « Piles get quick relief from Dr Shoop‘s Magic Ointment.
