to the end. The best Sunday School
teacher like the best day school
teacher is the one to whom it is easy
to say sit is like something"
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Devotional services were conducted
by Rev. ID. Y. Brouse on "His King
dom. Its supreme sway and glorious
dominion" Mrs. Barnes again ad-
dressed the convention on "Training
the Children to Give" ''It is necess-
ary to give as giving is as much a
part Of the worship of God as any
part of the service. Teach the child
to give from the right spirit, that of
love. Teach them to give regularly,
systematically and proportionately.
Teach them according to the bible
| directions about giving"
The address of DR.. Roads on
"Jesus the Perfect Teacher" was full
of interest and information. He said
"There is one crown that the world
is willing to put on the head of Jesus;
one thing in which they are willing to
grant him supremacy, and that is that
he was magnificent teacher. want
to put in this crown five pointed
star and in the the point of the star l
want to put this as his first qualifca-
ton for a good teacherfulness and ac-
curacy of his knowledge Of the bible.
He studied the Scriptures thoroughly.
We can never follow in the footsteps
of Jesus until we have an accurate
knowledge of the bible. The second
point would be the unique and origi-
nal methods be employed Charles
Dickens said that the finest bit of
story writing that the world has ever
known is the story of the Prodigal
Son. The third point in the star is
that Jesus understood all the principles
of education and used them in his
work. His holy and heroic character
was another point in his favor as a
teacher. Back of all the beautiful
words he spoke was heart full of
love for his hearers. The fifth point
was perfect knowledge of human nat
ure'."

things found to have been helpful in
the different schools were, the appoint
ment of committees to help with the
work. Welcoming strangers. A Sun
day School Board, or in other words
an executive committee. A weekly
meeting of the teachers for the study
of the lesson. A decision day,
DR.. Roads gave short talk on the
use of the bible IN the school. He
told of one school that he visited
where the superintendent asked the
boys and girls to give the "sword sal
ute" Immediately each one raised "the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word
of God" and waved it in the air. This,
he said, was one of the most impress
i've sights he had ever witnessed. AT
the close of the afternoon session two
conferences were held, one conducted
by DR.. Roads, the other by Mrs.
Barnes.
THURSDAY EVENING.
The devotional services were con

was, "Bible Stories She said, "Very

Public sentiment has set its seal Of cen

position to the resembling Supervisors in
the form of a gas consumers syndicate.
which Will fight the enforcement of the

The new organization has been formed
by 81. G. Cupples, the civil engineer. He
has now enrolled on his list of subscrib-
ers about thirty of the big hotels and
boarding-houses of this city. The pro-
prietors of these establishments have en-
tered into q mutual agreement to raise
a fund which viii enable Cupples to pro-
ceed with a systematic opposition to the
collection of the 81 10 rate. In order to
carry out effectively the desires of the sub

They will bring the matter before the
courts, standing firm upon the ground
that the act of the Supervisors resembling
their former resolution which reduced the
gas rate to 81 10 is illegal and void
At present the consumers organization
IS confined TO a number Of the hotels and

test will then be made whether the Su-

whether they are confined to q single ad-

be that in their fondness to placate the

Nearly three weeks ago DR.. Macdonald
declded that In order to effect a cure the
stomach would have to be restored to its
normal size Drugs would not effect the
object aimed at so the knife and needle
had TO be brought into use. Tohakka had
the situation explained to him and readily
agreed to have the operation performed.
After being put under the influence of an
anesthetic the reef" was taken in the
distended organ and Tohakka is now al
most as well as ever again.
The reef" consists of a double fold
which was carefully sewed together. This
reduced the organ to almost its normal
size. The opening made in the body was
then closed up and made secure and the
patient was put back to bed. He began to
improve at once, and in a short time was
able to be up and about. He can now
digest his food, and Yesterday made a
hearty meal of roast chicken. In few
days he will be in a condition to leave the
hospital, and Dr. Macdonald says he will
be able to follow his usual vocation as
though nothing had happened.
