showing how the pastor shall lead the
people 10 study OF the Bible, Rev. r. j.
Bsrton insisted that the chief essential is
such thorou gh knowledge on bis own part
that he can't help making 1t interesting

favored In having Rev. Robert Thomson,
the missionary OF the Congregational
churches of the Conference, present. He
spoke at some length Of the part played by
the Bible In missionary work, showing
that the people Of country such as Bulgs-

Bible, which they receive only through the
work of the missionary. The ASSOCIATION
is to hold its next meeting at Island Pond
in connection with the meeting OF the As
ISOLATION OF the Province of Quebec.
