successful worker, and his work wa
for the future because it had to d
with character and influence; it wa
permanent and everlasting.
In the absence of Rev. Ii. +. How
ard of Derby, Rev. r. c. Drisco 0
Derby read a brief paper on the sub
iect: '-The Sunday School not 70
Children only" The central though
was that on Gods roll only names o
children appear-all are children ant
| their names are never stricken off
If faithful, parents should go with

children it is also adapted to the par
ents. The essay was strong APP.
peal to parents and older classes to
connect themselves with the Sabbath
school and become workers in it.
For the next hour the convention
was transformed into a school con-
Quoted by Rev. c. S. Perkins of Lyn-
don. He gave his ideas of opening
the school and methods of instruction,
taking the lesson of last Sabbath.
His conduct of the school was inter-
esting and many valuable practical
points were brought out.
For a half hour. at the opening of
the evening session, III. S. Green ,mu-
steal director, led very interesting
praise service, largely songs inter
spersed with Bible texts, enforcing
the necessity and Importance of praise
and the methods by voice and music
al instruments. Rev. @. H. Dunlap
of Derby Line gave an admirable adj
dress on 1.-The Bible Perfect full of
strong points and intensely interest
ing throughout. To have enjoyed and
fully appreciated it the lecture must
have been heard.
Thursday morning session opened
with a very interesting prayer SER
vice led by Rev. w. n. Wilbur. This
was followed by paper on Teach
ing that instructs, and teaching that
does not instruct by Mrs. III. A.
Tibbetts of Irasburgh. The main
thought of the essay was that there
should be greater love for the work
of teaching and greater conservation.
A large part of the forenoon was
given to Prof. w. A. Deering in pre-
senting methods by which superin-
tendents and teachers may retain in
terest, and make useful the young
people in the Sabbath school. He
gave many valuable suggestions to
teachers as to methods of teaching
and in the afternoon added great in
terest and profit to the convention in
the answer to various questions COW
ering many phases of the work. He
brought much instruction, sound prac-
teal suggestion and candid thought
for the encouragement and strength
of those who heard him.
The report of Mrs. W. +. Niles,
corresponding secretary was present
ed on Wednesday. The officers
elected for the ensuing year are: Geo.
II. Blake, president; O. I'll. Austin.
vice president; III. f. Ryther, New

L. s. Cummings, Newport, cores
pounding ouvrUtsrry Rev. Rufus king
of Lowell, Rev. |. p. Chase of Iras-
burg and Geo. w. Rogers of New
port Center, executive committee.
Despite all unfavorable conditions
the meeting was good one. A good
spirit prevailed and we believe good
results will follow in better and more
efficient Sunday school work in the
future The convention were under
great obligation to Prof. Deering and |
Rev. Mr.. Perkins for their valuable |
Rev. ID. f. Land, who |
has been assisting Rev. j. Phillips in !
extra religious service at West Derby |
was present and rendered good aid,
coming to the rescue when discussion
Jagged. Great credit is due the eX-
ecutive committee and ESPECIALLY |
,heir chairman, Rev. G. S. Chase, for
,he care in the preparation of the pro-
gram and the general supervision of
;he work of the convention. Every
hing ran smoothly and it must be
yoted a successful convention. The
people of Newport regretted SO small
IN attendance for they had prepared
10 entertain large number of friends.
