SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION'.
On Sunday siternoon the various Dissenting schools
assembled at the Independent Chapel for the purpose
of listening to an address, delivered by the Rev. R. R.
Albin (Baptist). The chapel was well filled, a number
of friends and parents of the children being present.
Well-know and familiar hymns were sung such as
" I think when I read that Sweet Story of 'Old," and
Jens who Lived above the Sky. The rev. gentleman
based his address on the following texts : ' All have
sinned and come short of the glory of God," "Behold
the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the
world," and "Corn, unto Me all ye that labour and
are heavy laden." He first described the sinner, and
the need of pardon'
, secondly, the remedy provided,
and in the tMrd place, the precious invitation. If.
did full justice to the die:wares, which was interspersed
with illustrations simple and effective. The children
listened very attentively, and doubtless appreciated the
address.
A public tea was provided in the schoolroom, adjoin-
ing the above chapel. on Monday evening, when about
60 attended, amongst those present being :—The Rev.
W. Allen (Wesleyan), Rev. T. Nears (Congregation-
alist), Rev. J. Rattle (Wesleyan), Mr. and Mrs. C.
Poster, Mies teat, Mies How, Mews. W. Ponnoy,
G. Crocker Blewett, Jeffery, Wright, gen., and Keats.
The following ladies took trays t—Miss Jorden,
Rill, Mies Fowler, Miss Crocker and Miss Groves.
Af terwarche • publkk meeting was convened in the
same room, under the presidency of the Rev. W. Allen,
who was supported by the Rev. T. Name and the
Rev. J. Hartle. Tbe attendance was somewhat moder-
ate, no doubt on account of the inclemency of the
weather, the majority of those present being Sunday
school teachers.
The meeting opened with the singing of the hymn—
"Ye servants of the Lord," and prayer by the Rev.
J. Hartle.
The CHAIRMAN spoke, In pleasing terms, of the Rev.
R. R. Albin, who, he was sorry, was not present that
night. In speaking of the address given on the pre-
AO= afternoon, he said it was • capital one; it greatly
interested the children, and that was what they
wanted. He supposed that would be the hat time he
should take the chair as president of the Sunday
School Union, as they had that day been voting for •
president and committee to serve for the ensuing year,
and as yet he did not know who had been elected.
Should he be again elected he assured them he would
do his utmost for the welfare of the schools as he
hitherto had done. During the post year he could
safely say he had not been &besot on any OCC•11100,
which was mainly due to their worthy secretary, who
consulted him before maize for meetings. Another

been in vain They may never know the
results of their labours in this world, but some day
they ewe sure to know, for God has said His Word
should not retort' unto Him void. Some of the greatest
men in the world traced their present good took to the
Sunday school. The late President Garfield, one of
the best men the United Stets, of America ever had,
attributed his good to the Sabbath school. Hs than
explained the modern ways of making a good teacher,
after which he r-ad the result of the voting, which was
as follows :—The Rey. W. Allen, re-elected President;
Messes. G. Crocker an I W. Potency, joint secretaries;
C. Foster. omens-sr :oomosittes—Mesers. Wright,
sin., W. Lockett, Wolff, Fowler, and Biewett ; the
Rem T. Nesse, R. Albin, and J. Hattie are the
vice-presidents.
Mr. W. PONNOT. secretary, then read the report.
After a few preliminary remarks he said he felt as a
Union they had not done so much during the past year
as they might. By this remark ho did not mean to
discourage, but rather to stimulate to more earnest
effort, in the coming year. He felt it was very need-
ful to see th tt the machinery was doing the work it
was intended for, otherwise it would become melees.
Time was too brief to spend idly, and, therefore, as
individuals, and as • body, they do well to see that they
are fulfilling their mission. Some may be inclined to
ask for information respecting the object of the Union,
and it may, therefore, not be armies to meet such by
asylum that they unite in this friendly association of
Christian teachers of various denominations for the
improvement and development of Sunday schools. The
time Ism passed to a great extent In this neighbourhood
for their devoting time to form new schools, such work
the Churches are now alive to the importance of; but
there is much to be done in the way of improving than
already In existence, and this they hope to effect by the
personal improvement of their teaching power, and
also by adopting the beet improvements, as far sa
possible, in Sunday school accommodation. For some
time they bad a teachers' pros:oration class, but this is
at present discontinued. They hope, however, to re-
commence it, as it proved very helpful to times who
could attend, and to make It womssful all the teachers
need to make an effort to be present. They held a
monthly teachers' prayer meeting on the last Sunday
in the month, at four o'clock, in the Weiler an School.
room, and he would urge the teachers to remember
this meeting, as nothing tended so much to bind them
together as workers or to increase their love for the
work itself as meeting together for prayer, and while
they there meet unitedly, they should none the less
need privately to seek for that strength which could
alone enable them efficiently to do their work Those
schools which made efforts to Improve by adding claim
rooms, he., for the benefit of the elder scholars would
be assisted, as occasion served, by the Union. As to
school aocommodation, they combine in this Union
also to pmmote the circulation of healthy literature.
