lWontleCn annual convention OF the Of-
ganization--Address of Welcome by Rev.
d. r.. Breed and Response by Rev. Thos.
McClary Programme for To-day.
A very large congregation assembled at the
Baptist church last evening, the occasion being
the commencement of the Minnesota State Sab
bath School association convention. There
were upwards of 200 delegates present from all
parts of the State. The church was tastefully
decorated for the occasion, and on the large
platform was seated number of Sunday
school pupils, who, accompanied by Miss Con-
oily on the piano, furnished the music for the
occasion, and right well did they acquit them
selves-both the childish vocalists and the
pianist.
The proceedings commenced with praise
and prayer meeting led by J. H. Randall in
which several delegates joined.
Rev. D. r. Breed delivered the address of
welcoming the Sabbath school delegates of the
State, and he wished them to consider that NO
formal welcome to their halls, their church ed
ifces and homes was extented, but hearty
welcome to the utmost home of the heart.
His address was a long and eloquent one,
fraught with kindly feeling and full of tender
est illusions to the little ones, the tender
lambs of the flock. 1t was to them that we
must look for the true unity of churches
and the the unity of the nation.
Children were true Democrats, caring
nothing for technical differences and doc
trinal dogmas. They could all understand
the story Of Jesus. He thought the prophecy
of Isaiah (chap. XI, 6v.) applied to Sunday
schools. The churches had been, in ages gone
by, preying, as it were, upon each other, but
the Sabbath school was now bond between
them, and a young child led them. The address
was listened to with great attention through
out it's entire length, and at it's conclusion the
speaker shook hands with the delegates in their
proxy, Rev. Thos. McClary, of Mankato. Mr..
McClary responded to the address in stirring
speech, full of anecdote, quaint humor, and
earnest exhortation. He considered that Sun
day schools and the church were the only safe
guard against the terrible advance of scom-
munism."
Mr.. Brewster, of Mankato. followed briefly
upon the Importance of uniformity and sys-
tenn in Sunday school teaching, and the neces-
sity Of earnestness and prayerful labor in the
missionary fields Of Sunday schools.
Mr.. B. F. Jacobs delivered long address, in
which he ignored the name Sabbath sch ool
He thought it was too intimately connected
with children, when the labor of the Sunday
school teacher should extend to men and
women. Their work should not be Sunday
school work, but Christian work. And the
gentleman went on to deliver what might have
been revival sermon rather than Sab bath
school address.
The services concluded with singing, prayer
and the benediction. The following is the
