tm." The word" love "was chosen a. the theme

and spiritual address was delivered. In the first place
love at home was necessary, then love for the Sabbath
School awl teachers. the latter of whom laboured so
earnmetlr and diligently on the scholars' behalf ; love
for the Bible, increased desire t read its precious
truths, and love for Jonas Christ, the Saviour who
died to redeem us from sin arid one day, if faithful,
He would receive us to Himself. Words of encour-

upon the secret try and treasurer to read their rep eta.
Mr. E. Bisweit oresentel the report for the past year,
which Mowed there were six schools connectod with
the local Union, containing 559 scholars an 1 SI
teachers. Tile number that had j deed the various
churches from the schools in the local Union were only
four, and earnest hopes were expresee I that this small
number would be greatly incremed during the coming
year. From the parent Union itttlstici, however, it
was encouraging to find that 17,125 scholars ant 4,570
teachers joined the church daring the past year.
The report also expressed the wish that the Prepara-
tion Class and the Monthly Teachers' Prayer Meet'
lag may be main started. Mr. Foster then read the
treasurer's aecount, which showed a balance of about
R 9 on the right side, and recommended the children's
flower show should he held again during neat year.-

Interesting Addeo., on "Helps and Hindrances to
Sunday School Work." Some of the hindramet were
—the work of Satan in various ways, as manifested
in evil Influence at home, late and hammier attend-.
awe at school, n •nattenUon during the teaching, bad
companions, bad books, teachers whose hearts were
not in sympathy with the work, producing non-
preparation of lemon+ ; the indifference of the church
Itself, resulting in lack of proper seedstance in the
school and an uowillingnesa to receive the cahilicirrn ,
ipto the church • all these materially hindered the
sums. aimed j, We ware s .rry that the time did
not permit id the help* t SUCCASS being dwelt upon
at greater length, as most are only too well acquainted
with the hindrances. Amongst the helps inentiooed
were careful preparation by prayerful study of the
Word of God, visitation of the eoholars in their homes
by the teachers, and correspondence with them on
suitable 00CalliOns, separate clam-rooms, especially for
elder scholar", and a watchful interest over the books
and periodicals the children read, the Union offering
*very advantage In this direction to assist the several
sobools—At the close of the adders • hearty vote
of thanks was proposed to the deputation by the Rev.
Mr. Lewis, seconds I by Rev. J. J. Dalton, and
suitably acknowledged by Mr. Denby, who expressed
the conviction that if the lemons were carried out they
would be able to niport not lees than one per mot.,
but somas joining the churches. A collection was
made at the close.
