Hon, William stisknsy, president Of the
Council, presided, aud alter DEVOTIONAL oxsr.
We have met this evening, brethren and
friends, to stimulate each other by word Of ex.
hortaliOn to greater efforts In behalf Of Sunday
schools, and especially TO invoke the Divide
blessing on OUT labors. Having the example OF
Daniel In mind, we should come with holy bold.
noss to the Throne Of Grace expecting tho
blessing. One word on the subject Of prayer
We are oflen told that We honor God by making
large requests. This IL only true on The oOndi.
tiOn that we are willing to make great personal
effort and sacrifice, II noed DO, TO promote, as
far as human agency can, tho object Of our
desire. In all our prayers let US boar this
thought In mind. There never was a time whom
there existed ~ widespread, cOTrupting, blight
lng influences upon tho minds OF the young az
now. We see II IN the persistent deliberate
efforts Of sO-called scientists 10 undermine the
foundations Of Scripture, seeking 70 plant the
upas tree Of skepticism upon religious subjects
10 the minds OF the young. II has boon we'll
said that to shake our falth In the revelation we
have, without offering any substitute for It, Is
simply deylllsh. We 500 this oorruptng 10.
tluence 10 much Of the literature Of tho day.
Possibly, We may find some Of II In our sunday
school libraries. We see Il in the degrading
disgusting character OF tho amusoments pro-
vlded for the public. We see II In tho appalling
increase OF intemperanco. Among the most In
terosting and remarkable objects that meet the
barriers that have been erected, at the cost Of
millions Of money, requiring the highest skull Of
the engineer aud centuries OF time, TO keep the
waves VI the North sea from suDmerglng their
country-calamltles that have happened more
than once.
So important Is II to keep these 10 perfect TO

We must strengthen the Sunday school dixie,

Think Of the vast amount Of talent that might
be utilized In practical Christian work.
Five million children and youth In the sunny
schools Of our own country! What power here
that might be applied 10 loving service for our
MasterI What solid barrier would these pre-:

Why should not we exhibit the zeal Of the
ROmlsh Church In the propagation Of their
creed7 The SHOWS OF Canada, the eickly heat Of
the tropics the perils Of border civilization, and
the crowded cities Of the East all testify Of theii
