Tho Climax Of Youth.

In the teacher training course OF les

evening upon the topic, The Climax Of
Youth. This brought in the senior de-
Dartmeut OF the Sunday school, the
time when conversion is TO be expect
ed. He treated the subject under three
main heads-God's part, human con-
ditions, and process. One thing he en-
phasized was that no rule could be
laid down to apply in all cases, but
that a prime essential was to know
the Individual life surroundings and
conditions Of every scholar. A defini-
ton Of conversion which he gave was
that il was putting the whole life into
harmony With Cod and his laws. This
was reached On thre levels, physical.
