dwelt feelingly upon the necessity o
teachers having their hearts In the work
and working faithfully.
Julia A Pickering gave m account O
the efforts made BY teachers In Daven
port to bring children into the schools
very frequently meeting with insults
but still working On. Agreed with ] NJ
Abbott in regard to Catholic children,
and said efforts were made tn keep them
from the Protestant schools.
Joseph Shinn wished to know to what
extent 1t Is our duty to draw In children
from other denominations. The answer
Is, Efforts Of this kind should be direct.
ed only to those denominations whicl,
are non-evaDgclical.

ties used In one place might fail In an

examine for itself and see whether all
the efforts have been put forth that
should be to bring In both old and young.
Gilbert Pinkham thought the teacher
could hardly estimate how much he can
do, and alluded to the effect produced on
him by incidentally overhearing a little
girl remark to her companion in an en-
thusiastic manner, that she had "scen
her Sabbath School teacher to-day thus
testifying that her teacher must be live
one, and had succeeded in engaging the
interest other little pupil. He believed
that to draw into the class those not
previously interested often requires pa
tient and continued effort, often a cross
to perform. -...H .-..
Mary Ann Tatum spoke of the neces-
sity OF the punctual attendance of teach
ers In order to secure the punctual at
tendance Of pupils. m ....t..... ...
A G Staples thought in our Sabbath
Schools the classes were too large to Sc.
cure that freedom which is de esirable and
beneficial. 4..y ....
Time for miscellaneous questions be-
ing announced e Macy wished to know
how large class could be successfully
divided where all were comrades and
desired to remain together.
II + Bean thought by presenting to
the Class the object of their attendance,
and showing them that all oversight
over the Arrangement of the school, by
its officers, is desirable, the class can be
easily mol,led.
Lawrie Tatum thought the task of di.
viding classes was not SO great as that of
finding teachers to take charge of them.
Ii any would volunteer to take class in
the Springdale school he would be glad
to know it.
Narcissa Macy alluded to the excuse
frequently made by those urged to take
classes, that of incapacity, and believed
but few felt qualified when asked to EN-
gage as teachers, but expressed her
thankfulness that she was urged to
accept, as she believed it had been good
for her, and that il requested to give it
up she would do SO with more reluctance
than accompanied her acceptance.
John Leonard had found by a little
experience that he could learn as much
while filling the place of an absent
teacher as In his position as pupil.
OF the number attending these ses-
sions there are q who have been regu-
larly, and II transiently engaged as
teachers the past season.
On motion, the journal of these scs-
sions is offered to the Upton ADvERT1-
SER, for publication.
After being lead in prayer by J A
Grinnell, for blessing upon the work
and those engaged in it, and under a
deep sense of the Importance Of It, and
the great need of the qualifying power
Of the Spirit therein, the Association
adjourned.
