The Sunday Schools.

Yesterday being the last day of the Sun
day school convention, the attendance was
greater than on the preceding days of the
session. The devotional exercises in the
morning were conducted by Rev. T. G.
Field, and the first paper read was by
L. Simpson, Of Winona, the topic being
The Pastors Work and Place in the Sun
day School from a Layman's Stand point"
He said his object in preparing his paper
was not for the purpose of enforcing his
own individual views, but rather to pro-
woke discussion on the subject. It was
very interesting paper and was listened to
with much attention.
Rev. DR.. Carroll was the
next speaker who spoke on the manner of
presenting the subject to the Sunday
school. If you are in earnest and mean
what you say you will Undue the children
with love of the school, but the winning
of them to receive instruction is a divine
art in itself. The great object should be
salvation rather than entertainment or
reformation
The evangilizing and civilizing power of
the Sunday school was the subject of NJ.
B. Lewis address. Owing to ill-heaIth the
gentleman spoke briefly and related some
personal experiences in the cause which
greatly interested the audience. The sub
ject was continued by Thomas Cochran
of st. Paul who said the Sunday school
exalts the Sabbath: that it was education
al and consequently civilizer
Geo. G. Smith, of st. Paul, then read an
address commemorative of the late J. Z.
Miller, president of the association. whose
portrait was placed on an easel, beautiful
ty decked with flowers, and a beautiful
wreath of white flowers was deposited on
a stand near the portrait. The speaker
gave a sketch of -ha life an Iabors of the
deceased. Mr. Miller set led in business
in st. Paul in 1873, and remained there
till his demise. In church and school,
and in the Y. NJ. G. A., he was active and
efficient and was in the highest sense of
the term, a genuine mantle best enco-
MUM that could be pronounced upon him.
