not feel glad, as we walk down to the Sunday school in

this district. At the inertias of the Synod we have

that the peculiar feature of Obrbtlanity is that it

of how great value our services may be in anointing

are able to make, and I think we shall find Individually
that "Union le Strength." The Its,. Prob. Bond
(ehallrmth) then pat the following resolution to ore
meeting, and it was carried unionmonaly :—"Thai It
Is desirable to form an associatioo of Sands; tolled
teachers sod other lay helper* in the Church for the
Isle of Barber* and its neighbourhood, which shall
meet in full esonfereues once in every year, and hold
laser district meetings on invitation front the parochial
clergy." The 1t.,, S R. Cowl proposed "That the
associates shall be enrolled who are recommended by
the clergy and who shall be theannves desirous to join;
it being understood that they boll some,Sloe in. or do
Doom active work for, the Church. No subscription
will be rsquired." It was to be an association of love
and good work*. Be believed that although ea
abundance of Sunday aohool teacher/ were to be
f. not, a great number of them required kelp to
know haw to manage their olasees.—The it.,, G.
Alston weinded, and it ma eanied.—The Rmr. Owen
Memel proposed "That the Rural Doan shall be
ii.vited to be ex-officio preen& nt ; whilst the
work of the theocoatton shall be directed by
a committee of throe end an hon. secretary, all to be
elected at the simnel omfmence." The Rev. 0. Yeasel
added that toy would be sore to do well with sun, an
oneellent head RS the Rural Dean. Mr. Hillier seem:tried
tha motion, and it wee earrad.—The Rev. Prob. Bond
sill if his terviees were desired, he would freely give
shout—Mr. H. G. Heald then gaee an address on "The
Teacher's Imolemento and tic ir U e," observing the
Sunday mho, I te•chers implement ia the Bible; the
thing is to know how to use it. The teacher must pre.
pore his lemon. U he with' e to gain the atten'ion of his
clue; and, above all, he most he punctual. Be memo-
mended catechising the children; they remember what
you draw from them far better titan anything you tell
Victu, and follow the example of our Divine Master,
who taught them as they were able to bear it—little by
little, line upon line, precept upon preeept.—Ths
ot-
log Way brought to a close by a prayer and blaming by
the Rev. L Bashes. Many of those present afterwards
el. ..winded to the I .wer room, and sat down to an excel-
lent tea.
