The Sunday-school Convention and
Ministerial Association of Burlington
district, Troy Conference, met at North
Ferrisburgh, Tuesday and Wednesday,
August z and 8.
Tuesday was devoted to Sunday
school work and Wednesday TO the ex-
ercises of the ministerial association.
At ten O'Clock, in spite of the drenching
rain, large congregation had assem-
bled at the Methodist church, where
the association met.
j. l.. Barker, of Brandon, was elected
chairman, and G. II. Dunton, of Poult-
ney, secretary. An address of welcome
by the pastor and response by Rev. NJ
B. Mead, presiding elder, occupied the
time before dinner. At two p. NJ. "Thc
best method of conducting Sunday
school exercises, including library, !"
was discussed by Rev. j. NJ. Edgerton,
j. l.. Barker and others. Mr.. Edgerton
said, among other things, that the de-
sign of the Sunday school is the CONVEX
sion of the children; success in this de-
ponds upon the teaching; teachers
the matter is emphatically the Bible /;
there should be much singing, and of 4
| cheerful nature teachers should occupy
twenty-five minutes with the lesson.
Mr.. Barker, that the object of the Sun
day school should be TO fit mp its schol-
ars for heaven; the singing should al
ways be devotional; teachers should
always know how long the supcrinten-
dent is to hold the school, so their time
can be divided between the analysis,
study and review of the lesson; every
school must have a good library--get
the best books-young people will have
reading, and we should give them such
as is safe.
"The best mode of conducting Sum-
day school concerts and teachers' meet
ings," was next considered. Mr.. o. P.
Mead opened the discussion and was
followed by several others.
GLOW to manage unruly boys" was
considered. Rev. S. Ford would make
Sunday school work so serious business
that there would be no trifing. Mr.
\ Harris would have the teacher convince
thcm that they had his love. Dunton
W ould have the teacher interest them
in the lessons. Mrs. NJ. +. Allen, the
efficient superintendent of the North
Ferrisburgh Sunday school, would
couple sternness with expressions o.
love. Miss Anna Allen would have
the teachers convince them that sht
knew their life, all its springs of pleas
ure, but could point them to what wai
better. Rev. D. F. Brooks would have
less unruly boys by having more goof
teachers.
The evening service was for the
children, large number of whom wer'
present.
