The Journal says that at 10 O'Clock Thurs
day specimen S. s. exercise was conducted
by Mr.. Il. Pope Vose, Superintendent at
Rockland, all present acting as a member of
the school. AT IL o'clock. Mrs. Bingham of
Boston, read a familiar essay on the teacher
and teaching. The good teacher does not
exhibit his own knowledge, but assist his
scholars: To test the knowledge of the
scholar the teacher should keep hims elf in the
back ground. In imparting knowledge the
teacher should hold himself in reserve,
should not overwhelm children with knowl-
edge nor seek to przzle. Every lesson should
have some bearing on the life, so that the
| scholar shall be made better by it, and listen
to the command. Give me thy heart. Teach
ers should gain the good will of their classes
that they may be more highly benefited. The
closing exercises of Thursday afternoon were
very interesting.
A. T. Denison, Esq, the President elect
Of the Convention, was introduced, and on
taking the chair made some very earnest re-
marks He spoke of his interest in the cause
of the Sunday School. He thought the inter-
ests of Society and School were closely iden-
tilted, and that the Society ought to provide
means for carrying on the School. He be-
lieved that reading matter should be furnish
ed in the shape of periodicals, to be given out
after the afternoon preaching service.
Rev. Ill. L. Muns0n SAID mat ne wisheu u
know how we were to gain the sarnestnesss
spoken Of He thought that when man
founded himself upon Jesus Christ and upon
God in a living faith, he would work for God
as a minister of a foreign country works for
his home government. A belief in the bind
| ing authority of Christ would excite earnest
ness. One must give attention to his work,
in order to become interested in it. Earnest
ness grows out of an ardent wrestling with
God in prayer. Mutual council and relation
of experiences awakens the spirit of devotion.
The convention adjourned to meet next year
