NoTE.-Messrs. Editors: The rules Of re-
colding the minutes Of. a delioerative AS
sembly require such strict attention to the
| business of the house that no comments are
admissible. l have, therefore, decided to
ask you to append few remarks to the
AVE. I feel that blank would be un-
if no mention were made of the yer!
elent music which we enjoyed from the
0ung people of that section. The whole
onvention was delighted to listen to such
sou.stirring Sunday School songs. The
choir of that Sunday School certainly de-
serves great praise for having succeeded 80
| we'll 10 its efforts to turnlSh music 1oT tne
| sessions of the convention. With such
sweet harmony from so many voices, the
speakers were inspired, the listeners de-
| lighted, and the convention greatly enli-
vened. 1t is great pity that all Sunday
| Schools Dc not praise God with such fine
singing. The members of Mt. Tabor Church
may well afford to congratulate themselves
on the neat church building they have
erected This is the condition Of each Of
Mr.. slish's churches. We like to visit his
pastorate. Signs Of progress are every
where visible He has liberal, hospitable
and devoted people and is doing great
good for the church. We we're delighted
with the convention, and think that each
frieud OF the Sunday School there present
may fatter himself with the thought that
he is better prepared to work in the cause
tLan ever before. Long live such efforts f!
