1t is revolution that they are after just now

the candidate of popular revolution against

whether stronger could have been found.

gentlemen named.
OR motion of Colonel Davis, a resolution
was passed, extending q fraternal invitation
to all clergymen In the city to seats upon the
foceof the convention during its session.
The fret subject for discussion was then
announced as being 1.-THE Bible authority fol
the Sunday School" and the Rev. W. P. Jacobs
was requested to deliver the first address
upon the subject. Mr.. Jacobs said:
The question to be settled Is this: Is the
sabbath-school scrlptural institution There
are many things that are scrlptural OF un,
scrIptural that are neither expressly enjoineo
nor forbidden; but that may oe oeeioea S oS
plain and regular reasoning from Its teachings
The Sabbath school Is one OF these. In sc
many words, the thing itself Is not mentioned
AS at present organized, with It's various &C
cessories, 1t could not possibly nave oeen
mentioned, no more than the telescope OF
the telegraph. In all its beautiful develop
ment 1t Is an outgrowth Of the Christian lille
of these latter days; but that the heart and
core of the Sabbaih-school was both known to
and approved by the sacred writer's Is clearly
First. then, let us settle this point. What is
the grand central idea In the Sabbath-school
What Is that thing without which 1t would
cease to be. Evidently the answer to this
question is-Bible instruction, especially o.
children. The Sabbath-school is not an instl
tuition for the purpose Of thoroughly furnish
Ing lis pupils with knowledge OF reading Of
spelling. It is emphatically Bible school
In it the Bible Is It's main textbook, ant

authority for the command He was about to
glve-and then He said, "Go ye, therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and OF the Son and OF the
Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe oil
things whatsoever / have commanded you,
and 10 am with you Away, even unto the
end of the world" Quoting from st. Mark, he
said that the command was, "Go ye Into all
the world and preach the Gospel to every
creature" He went on to show that In the
| original Hebrew there were no less than
five words each expressive of the Idea Of
teaching or preaching, that there were but
faint lines of distinction between the respec.
tive meanings OF those words, and that they
were, in the King James translation of the
| Blole, used almost interchangably, and he de-
duced the argument that if they were to stop
at preaching they would leave out one half OF
the Divine commission to the Christian Church.
The argument was sustained with great skill,
and eyinced an intimate acquaintance with
the structure OF the Hebrew tongue and with
the difficulties of its exact translation into the
English language, which was frequently def
Client in the exact equivalents of Hebrew
words, and the conclusion Of the chain of rea
| soning pointed to the inevitable conclusion
that the Christian teacher In the Sunday
school was as directly commissioned and or
dained by the Almighty as were the clergy
men, the elders, or any of the other workers
in the Church of Christ.
The next subject announced for discussion
was, 1.-THE moral and intellectual fitness o.
