leave on later train his address
Sunday School Teaching and How to
Make it Elective, that was set
down for 1870 this morning, was CAL
ed for. Mr. Meigs gave his definition
OF teaching as 'Imparting lnforma.
ton to others that they do not already
possess. He cautioned teachers
against being sure they were teaching
because they We're talking; that talk
ing was not always teaching.
He believed that the best way to
instruct the active boy or girl was by
object teaching: and gave many hum.
orous illustrations Of his methods Of
object teaching. His admonition to
teachers was, see, see, see: think,
think, think.
After the taking up the collection
and singing, Rev. II. f. Wood OF
China, Me, occupied the remainder Of

ture on Jerusalem and Its Envi.

how many ways it Is helpful and nec-
essary to successful Sunday School
work.
At 2 o'clock Miss Bertha f. Vella Of
Boston addressed the convention. Her
subject was adaptations. " This was
listened to with close attention and
was most helpful and instructive. Miss
Nella'S address showed her great love
for and interest in her work. She eS-
pecially emphasized the necessity OF
teachers in the schools studying how
to adapt themselves to the intellect
ual capabilities Of their pupils; also
how to engage their cooperation In
the lesson of the day, and Of learning
how to put aside their own superior
knowledge and thereby engaging and
holding the attention of the boys and
