AFTERNOON.

In the afternoon Addrcssc. wcro made by
Mcs.r.. Chase, Aspinwall, Crafts, Upton
and French, and tho evening exercises We're
mostly conducted by the same speakers.
We were indebted to the North Norway
Choir, and to some Of the scholars Of the
sunday School in that place, for very np-
proprilte and interesting singing. The
Convention awakened much interest IN that
community, and will doubtless give an i'm.
pulse to this noble enterprise.
Il was resolved to hold another convention
sometime in May, or June next, at South
Paris.
It proposed that the exercises Of the
reri Convention be ~ follows
|. Singing AMI Defamation, by 5. 5.
Children;
.. Addresses, 10y Clcrgymen and Iaymen.
3. Sermon, by some minister from abroad.
These exercises will occupy the day and
rrmmr. At noon the Convention viii
march in procession from the Methodist
Church to the Pine Grove, where they will
dine and then return to the Church.
The ministers. and friends OF Sunday
School. generally, in the towns represented
in this Convention, are requested 10 proceed
at once with their preparations.
