which engaged the attention of the meeting,
the discussion being participated in by Mr.. E.
s. Hoyt, Rev. Messrs. Stewart, Crosby and

ton chose Messrs. G. M. Bailey W. Wood

Sherwin made a few remarks on 'Tact, its
meaning and uses"
In the evening services were held under the
direction of Prof Sherwin, and the Convention
adjourned finally after adopting the usual COM
plimentary resolutions together with the fol-
lowing:
Resolyed That the Sabbath School is BIZ
BILE School, and in order to teach the Bible
successfully we recommend teachers meet
ines; and, if these cannot be formed that
special attention be paid to adult Bible classes
for the supply of teachers, for the highest in
terest of the school and the life of the church
ResolUed, That the Sunday School libraries
should be under the care of judicious commit
tees, with the cooperation of church and fami-
ly in the selection of books. We commend
historical works, the best memoirs and biogra-
phies, and everything that sheds light upon
Gods word and imparts enthusiasm to the
study.
Resolyed, That we acknowledged with deep
gratitude Gods presence in recent seasons Of
spiritual refreshing and in the widespread re-
yival of interest in the Temperance Reform,
and recognize our new responsibility, especial
ly in personal labors of Faith and Love, in
each branch of the Christian activities.

to say that he has restored at least ono es n.y.
woman to society and her seli-respect. His

chief Of the ST. Louis police, informed him
that he wanted wife, and that being disnos-
ed to do an act of christian charity, he had
concluded to select helpmate from the So
cial-evil hospital. He had heard that several

reform, and he had resolved to offer one of
