At $50 Rev. Fl. A. Durfee of Bur
lington spoke for short time in the
interest of the Home Department and
Rev. R. j. Barton of Greensboro On
the Normal Department. This was
followed by an address on Lesson
Preparation and Presentation" by
C. W. Osgood of Bellows Falls. He
said every teacher must have mo-
tive and make preparation. Your
habits will also count as your pupils
will be the most critical. Teachers
should begin and end with the Bible.
Take odd bits of time to prepare the
lesson and begin little above your
class and bring them up to i. You
must hold the interest and attention
of your class to make Sunday School
work a success. This was followed
by Mrs. Cornelia June of Middlebury
on "The Child and his Teacher" Ii
we could consider the child as block
of marble, of pine, of clay, or sheet
of paper we could easily fashion his
growth. but the child has individual
itv and personality. Wemust consider
the mind of child and must acquire
q thorough knowledge of a subj ct
and bring it to his conscience grad
ually. The closing address OF the
forenoon was made by Rev. Joseph
L. Dixon of Boston on "The Child OF
God or the next Step"
The afternoon session contained
the usual musical program and re-
ports from several counties OF the
state were given by delegates.
The first address of the afternoon
was by Prof Isaac Thomas of Burling
ton on the "Men of Tomorrow" He
said that the men of tomorrow were
not in the Sunday S ;hool, because it
has nothing 10 it for them. The Sun
day School is disastrous to young
men on account of non preparation
of teachers and the fact that most OF
the teachers are women because they
are by nature more moral than men.
Rut for women to teach young men 8
classes is a calamity. This was fol-
lowed by most interesting talk on
AEnlistment of Young Men for the
Service of the Church" by Rev. ID. Z.
Tremaine of Rupert. He said if we
can't bring men to the church we
must bring the church to the men. A
preacher must be a man not an angel
He gave three rules which can be fol
lowed to advantage. First, study
conditions second, plan to meet
those conditions as you find them
. then, third, work that plan.
In the evening came the business

mite on nominations presented the
