Following the regular morning eXer-
cises at the First Presbyterian church
yesterday, Rev. W. II. Albright, in ac-
cord with the spirit of the Sunday
school institute now in progress, spoke
for ten minutes on the value to the indi-
vidual and to the church of Sunday
school work, and was followed in a
similar vein by Mrs. e. G. Wheeler. of
st. Paul; Nathan Ford, of st. Paul, and
NJ. B. Critchett, of Minneapolis. The
address of each centered about the
promise, "He that loveth his life for
my sake shall find it's" The speakers
illustrated that the loss of life in ma
terial sense was not i'll this case Sug-
gestiYe, but showed how, especially in
the work of the Sunday SCHOOLGIRLS
tan work-one can put his Ownlife into
other lives and so perpetuate his own
life and find it again brighter and per
feet cover there" The third session
opened at 80 o'clock with brief song
service, followed by paper from Mrs.
NJ. B. Critchett on the subject designa-
ted by the programme as Infant class
work" She objected to the use of ''in-
fant'' as applied to any Sunday school

too apt to deter some pupils who con-

kept out of classes when they
might be benefited. For success
full primary teaching she suggested
an exclusive room and one sufficiently
removed from the main school to allow
the little ones full freedom for their
singing and other exercises without dis
turbing the older classes. The teacher
should be filled with the spirit that
said; ''Suffer little children to come
unto me-" should be prayerful, relying
on the Holy Spirit for help, and mind
full of the fact that the little scholars
note the everyday life of their teacher,
and are quick to draw differences. The
teacher should also ever remember that
the pupils minds are to be distributing
agencies and not mere places of storage.
Mrs. Wheeler described the reception
at the mansion house of the American
delegates to the worlds sunday school
convention by the lord mayor and
mayoreSS of London. and commented
on the fact that never before had the
executive mansion been thus thrown
open to a Christian delegation of this
character. The attention and work of
Lord Kinnard, the Earl of Aberdeen
and Lady DalhOuSie in connection with
the reception of the Americans and
with the direct work of the convention
were likewise noted and praised, and
the lady gave a running account of the
conventions work. The afternoon Ses-
sion was closed by G. NJ. Stocking, who
gave the children an object lesson.
