Methods for Its Conduct.
Professor NJ. n. Hamill OF Illinois, the
feld-worller Of the International Sunday
School Association. arrived in Richmond
yesterday and gave two practical talks
in the afternoon and evening. He was met
at the station and escorted 10 the Jeffer-
son, where he is stopping. At 4:9O in the
afternoon he illustrated the method Of
preparing and teaching the Sunday-school
lesson at the Young Mems Christian AssO-
citation. The attendance was very large
and the proceedings quite interesting TO
all.
Last night at O'Clock Professor Hamill
delivered an address AT the SsventhStreet
Christian church to the Sunday-school
teachers and superintendent Of the city.
The gifted worker in this line was greeted
By Sabbath-school workers OF all classes
and conditions. and after the singing of
the hymn "All Hail the Power OF Jesus
Name" there was fervent prayer by
Rev. DIR. w. V. Tudor, pastor Of Cente-
nary Methodist church. Professor Hamll
began his lecture by referring to a topic
recently spoken upon by Rev. DIR. Burruss
to a large audience in Boston. Or. Bur
russ then delivered a discourse upon the
subject of international Lessons" Pro-
fessor Hamill said that this was one OF
the best essays on this subject he had
ever had the pleasure Of listening TO.
The speaker then took up the subject
Of the model Sunday school. and in this
connection he brought out five strong
points. The first was as to the attend
anca. Mr. Hamill said that II was neces-
sary for the Sunday-school pupils TO be at
The Sabbath school services promptly and
nunctually; second. they should be orderly:
third, they should study the open Bible.

fourth. they should encourage a mission

should cultivate spiritual atmosphere
Professor Hamill gave a series OF black.
board illustrations TO demonstrate his
teachings. He drew lines portending 10
show the battle around Petersburg during
the recent war. and went on TO illustrate
the necessity for solid centre. notwith-

He argued strenuously for a weekly meet

city. and his advice fell into sympathetic
ground.
