There we're about fifty delegates pres
ent. Everything Nent to show that the
Sunday schools Of Montana are in a very
healthy condition. The workers are
evidently not asleep.
The talk On show to prepare a Sunday
school lesson treated by Sir. Jacobs, is
worthy remembrance. The blackboard
was used for illustrating his methods.
His points were made plain and forcible,
DR.. Nogden next spoke on the topic
how to teach the lesson The follow
Ing are tile ten rules lie gave for the
teacher:
/. Never teach what you 10 not quite
understand.
2. Never tell 4 scholar what you can
get that scholar to tell.
3. Never use a hard word when an
easy word will do, and never use q hard
word without explaining its meaning.
4. Never give 4 piece Of information
without calling for it again.
5. Never begin a lesson without q
clear conception Of its end
6. Never allow a scholar to remain a
moment in the class without something
to 90 and a motive for doing it.
!. Never give an unnecessary com
mana nor one you no not expect to be
oteyed.
5. Bring your work to yours scholars
level.
9. Go step BY step-one thing at !
time.
10. Link the unknown to the known.
The querry-boN was a very interesting
and profitable part Of the program. CUES
tons were answered b. Messrs. Worden
and jacobs.
The billie vas held Up as the guide and
principal study Of both teacher and
pupil. The address Of Mr., Worden on
this theme is commendable to all
a memorial meeting was held upon
the death Of Rev. z. T. Linnell Of the
Presbyterian church.
The meeting continued to gain in in
terest and enthusiasm until it closed.
Saturday was very busy and profitable
day to all.
As | am somewhat limited in space, |
will merely call the attention Of the
reader to the program as given last week,
as to the work done and subjects treated.
During the "chalk talk" by Mr.. Jacobs,
the following was gained:

S. s.; object, to transform character and
eternal salvation; means, study Gods
word. Teachers must have good charae-
ter, must be a consecrated, active, studious,
bible student, Of good repors, p%rayerful,
patient Christian. Pastors Work-eener-
al oversight of school. Superintendent
should be the best Christian for the
place. Rooms should be separate,
cheerful, light airy and clean.
Next we notice DR.. Worden on the
superintendent work" The two main
offices of the Sup't. are the management
and mission Of the school. The superin-
tendent and pastor should work together.
It was estimated that three-fourths of
the children in Montana between the ages
Of five and fifteen were If the S. S. The
trouble seemed to be general in getting
those between the ages Of fifteen and
twenty-five to attend the S. S.
It was decided best to study lesson
helps at home and use bibles only in
class-Work.
Again, teaching to be successful, mus
