H. K. Bent of Pasadena followed with
IN address, upon Pastoral Work OF the

which help along this line can be
rendered were suggested.
Under the subject, Social Relations OF
Teacher and Glass, Rev. J. w. Utter OF

suggestions for the guidance of the
teacher. He said that the social rela-
tions of teacher and pupil should be of

A selection by the orchestra was fol-
lowed by an address upon Planting in
Season by Rev. G. H. Davis of Villa
park, in hich the importance of q right
training OF the youth of the land was
dwelt upon.
The most important work OF the min
ister is with the child, for whatever i'm
preesione the child has at the age OF 10
years are unusually lasting. Character
develops by early impressions, and the
child heart is good ground on which
to SOW seed. The best type of piety is
that which begins in early life.
