rendered very nicely. At this point of
the proceedings. Il. b. Stewart propos-
ed that a committee consisting of one
from each church represented should be
appointed whose duty it be to establish
and care for a mission school. or prayer
meeting in district out side of the center
of the town in which such committee
resides and that they should each report
at the next meeting of the association.
This looked like business and met with
general favor and committee was in ac-
cordance, appointed.
The letters from the churches did not
speak of large or many accessions but
most of them report small gains by
baptism and by letter. The tone of them
in regard to Sabbath School was encour-
aging and there has evidently been faith
full and earnest labor in that direction.
The formation ofinfant classes was spoken
of as one Of the results in some Of the
Sabbath School the past year. This
should have been done before. 1t might
have been done had the subject been
agitated, and subjects so vital to the in
terests of christians and there are many,
should have large place in the associa-
tional meetings. They should be agitat-
ed, should be talked about, even by those
who can not spend portion of the time
for whole year in writing out an elabor-
ate essay to be read Some times we
hear a truth dubbed right out from a
heart warm with the love of Christ and
his cause that seemed to reach the heart,
quite as surely and leaves its impression
then as an elaborated truth. There is a
place for all things, meetings of the asso-
citation ought to mean business, and much
Of the time should be used in devising
ways and means to carry forward the
work for which the church was organized
There has been lack in this direction in
the meetings of the associations in the
past. This presentsonc broke over the
precedents Of the past to some extent.
