Taoism read the statement of accounts—there was a good balance in hand—and the report. The latter document recounted the work of the year. In last year's report the members numbered a little over 300, and stated it was a matter of regret that there were now but 257. The report pleaded for the establishment of adult training classes for the middle classes, so that there might be a further development of that mission which had brought countless blessings to human beings. Mr. Thomas had prepared a table showing the number of m embers of the association,. with particulars of each school, during the last ten years. The annual numbers were 285, 223, 944 240, 252, 290, 302, 296, 302, and 257. He &ma that the female teachers were in proportion of to 1 male teacher. How to amount for this discrepancy he did not know, but felt that it was I important that more middle-class people should be trained for Sunday-school work,and in this matter, he said, the Dissenting bodies did far mare for senior people than the Church. He hoped they would be able to improve in that respect.--The Clumsily moved the adoption of the report, and thought there was a great deal of vitality in the association, and hoped that night it would enter upon a new lease of vigour and of usefulness. He pleaded for more esprit de corps among Covenky Sumlay-echool teachers, and said he thought out of 500 Church teacher' in the area covered by the association, there ought to be more than 257 members.—Mr. GBAY seconded the resolution, ma said the society was doing fairly well. He saggested an examination among scholars' resolution was then carried.—On the motion of Mr. Brarrox-Parmansow, seconded by Mr. J. W. LEE, a vote of thanks was passed to those who had rendered service to the association during the year and to all who had held office during the same period.—Mr. Beaumont was re-elected rei; dent, Mr. Gray, vice-president, the Rev. Ll oil and Mr. W. Thomas hon. secretaries, and Mr. Everton (Christ-church) was to be asked to become assistant hon. seoretary, Vie. 4 Mr. W. G. Phit resigned.
