The &ose;sg. This Wa really TIE
most pro6table paat of tie coesan-
tion. Il had reference to praosical
work in The Sunday School. In these
things the standard vas draws vesy
high. May The day sooa ocuse sAsn
il shall b even meassE1bly attained
to. A teacher was said TO have two
6clds to cultivate, himself and his
class. He must cultivate his head.
his mind, his voice, his msnncrs. He
must educate his class 70 Christ, sad
then educate them n ChEist. He
must not only teach them in the Sun
day School, but every day Of the
week, be must iudueuce them. He
must cultivate m acquaintance with
them; mus witt them; VIXEN sick be
must call for them; iabseat fron the
class he must inquire after them He
must pray with and for them. He
must urge them, individually. 10 be-
come Christians. And hs can depend
that, eventaally, they win eose TO
have just ~ much interest," IN their
souls @ he has in his, and NO moss.--
The Superintendent needs and, il he
does not have, should earnestly cul-
tivatc The following qualiicstioms--
A controlling characsss, knowledge
Of human nature, power 10 orgnniss,
system, naturalneas, Fumptness, en-
ergy, perseverssce, love for children,
thorough knowledgs Of Gods word,
:ove Cor Christ, ,cumplete conservation,
and continuance IN pssyer. Is 10
worthy of remark thaa thsse were not
oosjurea sp by some one man, IN
idealist, bus were named one by one,
BY those present, many Of them S0-
perintendents, and I'll OF them pos
sessing moro or less experience.
The habitual use 0f the black board.
in any school, was earnestly advoca-
ted. T.e fact H its universal usc
in the day schools was sdduced -
evidence Of its effectiveness. Il
should be made of light material, ,and
arranged to turn on pivot between
two upright posts, so that both sides
can be used. Tho expense OF such
board is not great. II any one had
doubts about the worth u the black
board in the Sunday School, they
were certainly disappointed when the
model lesson to the infant class wAs
given. The blackboard was used
for this purpose. 1t was the culmin-
sting point Of interest in the oonvon-
tion. The lesson was intended for the
small children, but Ill were deeply
impressed by il. 1t was the general
opinion that an opportunity TO rise
for prayer would have been respon-
ded 10 by many of the inpenitent.
At this point Your correspondent is
obliged 70 leave. The topics under
the last head, sThe Hsrpost. = remain
to be considered.
No one present Al this convention
can fail to be impressed with these
two thoughts: First, the greatness
Of the Sabbath School work ~ at
present progressing. So many earn
est, devoted men and women, giving
so much thought, time, and money to
it. Secondly, the sublimity Of the
work - it Is contemplated. Not .
child or youth any where in the State
who shah not be reached. Everyone
made the subject Of vigorous, pcrsis-
tent, continuous effort; until oil shall
be elevstcd into . higher plane of
moral and religious life. God speed
the day!
And brethren and sisters Of the
Sabbath School army in Cedar coun-
~, let US not be behind in this matter.
Let US prosecute our work vigorously
and thoroughly. Permit me TO OK
press the hope, especially, that
the approaching County Convcntion,
at Mcchanicsville, will be largely at
tended; that there will not be . school
in the county unrepresented.
