THE SUNDAY-SCHOOLS.

FARWELL HALL MEETING.
The weekly meeting Of Sunday school teach
ers st Farwcn Hall yesterday noon WIS largely
attended, and the proceedings were OF the usua
interesting character. Some time was devoted
to song-serrice before the lesson" Saul'f
Early Ministry" Acts, X, 1s73o-was taken up
The leader was Mr.. B. F. Jacobs, but he made
slight departure from the usual custom by
calling upon gentlemen On theplatform to make
short addresses.
Brother Burns was the first speaker. He said
It specially to the point Of Paul's being let
down the walls Of Dana scus that be wished
to speak, because it contained a deeply vim.
portant lesson to our souls. We sh5uld
not be careful Of Paul's reputation;
the reputation Of single human being should
not make us anxious, but VIC should be careful
Of the reputation OF Gods glory. The discl-
ples persuaded the Apostle to escape In this
way, and he was in fault in listening to his
brethren instead Of trusting implicitly in Jesus.
The great lesson In this was to trust to God,
and not to mere human agencies, for safety and
preservation. One trouble with Christians was
that they trusted their souls to the Lord. but
were afraid to commit their bodies to His care.
If men would only give their bodies as we'll as
their souls to the charge OF Christ rounded,
symmetrical Christian life would be tue result
Brother Albro followed in short address. He
pointed out that our steps are ordered accord
ing as We arc enlightened With Gods presence
in the inner man. When directed by God We
would honor Him and be blessed with His pres
ence in every vicissitude of life
The Rev. Mr.. Youker devoted his time to
showing now the lesson should be taught To the
children. Paul was d converted man. He was
SO much excited that for three days he did not
eat anything, but 1t the end Of that tiino Paul
received meat and Was strengthened. He (AIr.
~ was down Oh excitement in the cause Of
God. The great lesson to be gained from this
Apostles career, Was that as soon us VIC
are converted, we hate the things which merely
kept us from God. He would not say
much about Paul bein. let down in basket; if
tie was in the same fix, hc would cndcavor to get
away the best way lc could It Was, however,
wei! to look to God for direction, aud vail until
VT learned from Him what WAS best to do.
The Rcv. Mr.. Brown said the teachers should
cndeavor to prove from the Old Testament tiiat
Jesus Christ is the SON of God, and with all the
power Of which they were capable they should
labor to remove the idea that that Book con-
1airs nothing iut history. Children should bc
encouraged to go out and preach Jesus to peo-
pie, for much good could in that way be accom-
p1ishel
Altcr the hymn. More and .sore'' had been
sung, DR., Blackall gave his views on the sub
jert- He would first get over the main facts of
the lesson lie would incidentally touch upon
the strong points. and then go back to the be-
G1hnlnE, and make the whole u the chapter turn
on the exposition OF the first verse, Which is to
the effect that Paul received food and was
strengthened. The SUCCESS OF Paul's ministry
was owing to the fact that he was fed on Jesus.
A teacher here suggested that Sunday school
scholars should bc taken down TO the Tabernacle
OF Sunday afternoon. Last Sabbath there were
number present. and after the service some of
them were Induced to go into the inquiry room,
aud seven were converted.
Mr. Jacobs followed out this suggestion in
few pertinent remarks giving bis experience OF
1he results to be attained by bringing children
under the iutlucn:e Vi the meetings. The spn-
ltual law, he continued, WAS like the natural
law; we must eat and keep on eating to live,
aud after eating We should digest the food prop
erly. People shoul1 bc warned against spiritual
than natural in this world. III proportion as We
iced upon the Bread Of Life VIC would be strong
ana ablc to work.
After 8 few remarks by colored brother, The
meeting was brought to close in the usual
