Each of these three distinguished men
regularly attend Sunday school, each
being superintendent. one OF Pres
byterian, another a Baptist and the
third a Methodist. Each said they
never knew what it was to be out Of
the Sunday school and that they
counted it great privilege and honor
to serve as perintendents. Think
Of that and see if you can find par
allel in the states What a splendid
testimony to the fine religious spirit
OF the people, This same spirit was
excmplified on Sunday when it would
appear that everybody went to church
and to Sunday school. for every
church was crowded with grown peo-
pie. young people and children. And
such singing at church and other ser
vices | never heard before everybody
sang, Or tried to do so, and it was
beautiful beyond comparison.
Toronto is noted for her many viz
tues, but her greatest excellency is in
her observance of the Lords Day.
No Sunday newspapers. no Sunday
excursions, no Sunday base ball, no
Sunday clubs open, no Sunday des-
ecrations. but nearly everybody in
tent on worship. If there are temp
tations to evil they are not consplc-
uous or alluring, so strong is the re-
ligious sentiment OF the citizenship.
In all our magnificent country | have
never seen the like and it was re-
freshing. And such churches! so
beautiful, of such exquisite architect
ure, mostly Gothic. Piles of stone
ard brick, piles of brick and stone,
with well-kept grounds and gardens,
some with lovely flowers and shrub
berry.
Protestanism is largely in the as
cendancy in Toronto. The conven-
ton heard with delight such men as
Dr.. Potts, DR.. Hammi1l, Dr.. Schauffe-
ler, DR.. Hemphill, DR.. Atkins, DR..
Tyler, Bishop Vincent, Marion Law
rance, Chairman Hartshorn, and they
gave rapt attention to Our own Dr..
Scherer, who spoke ably and with
fluency upon the subject, 'The duty OF
Young America to Young Japan" /
was sitting close to DR.. Scherer, fac
ing the mammoth audience, possibly
5000, who were entertained through
out, and giving marked applause at
the close of his address. Very fav-
1rable comment was passed upon Dr.
Scherer's matter and manner, and |
ielt proud that he was from Newber-
rv and the commonwealth of South
Carolina. The gifted Mrs. Bryner de-
livered fine talk on 'Our Neighbor,
Mexico" Space forbids printing OF
:he program and so I can only refer
% it. strongly urging every Sunday
school teacher who has had the
5emerity to read this letter, to send to
Marion Lawrance, general secretary,
Toledo, Ohio, for a copy of the offl-
:ial report. which will contain every
address delivered and will cost the
srifling sum. 50 cents post paid. This
report will be styled THE Develop
ment of the Sunday School 18oo-1oo5.
1t will contain 600 pages, with 800
illustrations and will be cloth bound.
No lover of the Sunday school cause,
who desires 70 keep abreast Of the
times can we'll afford not to buy this
book. The book will be ready tor
mailing about the 1st. of September
and 100000 copies will be printed.
Another great feature ofthe conven-
rion was the raising Of $4,000 for the
prosecution OF the International work,
and employment OF other field work
ers. The giving was hearty and gen.
crous. The fine exhibit of Sunday
school appliances and literature, was
