The discussion ^was opened by F. G. Ensign, of Chicago, ^"iiGen. Western Agt. of the American 8. 8. .4'MUaion, who was followed by fire minute mpoccbcB from quite a number of delegates. """^This wns a discnaslon of unaual interest. I^The leading thoughts brought out were: 1st. TT«* true child culture consists In Xj-'ftraining up the children in the knowledge :%of the Scripture* and the christian virtue*, .-/{by parental precept and example. 2nd. That S.

That Christian families ought to .•'.'•Ejgiv* their children A part in reading the ,-AjSvriptnres at their family worship and to j|so help theut to understand what ia read, ^tliat these children will feel a deep inter est in these dully lessons and prayers. 4. That such children, so "taught the .HC^ecripture* from their youth up" make '^JJood Sunday School scholars and furnish .f '^a ripe harvest for good teachers to gather ^into the fold of Christ, and that such pa '"Irents also make good teachers. 5. That there are a great many chil '^^dren who 1I.IYC no family altar at home jA nd no scripture instructions unlet* they "Hare gathered into the Sunday School and Stuught by these teachers. In the evening after the song service by iProf. Bonn and scripture reading by Rev I. Druiy, a very fine Address of Wcl icomi was read by Prof. Ebersole of To ]le«lo, which was followed by a suitable espouse from Prest. R. H. Gilmore, of Jcdar Rapids. Iter. W. A. Waterman, of Marion, 1 -jwas then .introduced with the topic:— ,ipThe School and the Church,—Each aPart «of the Other." He said Tcry church bought to have a Sabbath School and every j5|»ncnirer of that church ought to have Jsome kind of work in the S&hbath School. s^His was a strong address bringing out the tactchurchforcibly most that in the right kind a the entire congregation con -institutes the Sunday School, and that the ^school and the church arc inseparable. Then followed it touching solo by Prof. ^Bunn "Waiting and watching for me." FRIDIAV—ICTn. Tlie Sunrise Prayer Meeting wa* largely ("Attended, and very refreshing. •'.* Th* 9 A.

At 9:80 "District Workers" was intro iJUuced by Secretary E. W. Allen, of Mar shalltown. Some counties had not re ported statistics, therefore we can not VSive the aggregate. This report was followed by verhol reports from Dr. jr. L. Roberts for Marshall Rev. 8. -^W Ingliam, for Tama Hon. S. G. Bur ?4ict, for Benton C. H.

Rev. J. W. Clinton, of Marahalltown, was introduced with the topic Pay a* TOO Gki." He said thi* waa an easy topic —easily understood—plain Anglo-Saxon words. He said there was one word ia it that he liked particularly, and that was the word "Go." He liked anything that has "go" in it. After telling a funny an ecdote on the Baptist* and another on the Methodists, be remarked that there was another word which lie liked very well, and that was "Pay." After some more jokes about former Conventions at Blairstown, Brooklyn, etc., he callo I on the audience to—"Pay aa you Go," and in a short time the sum of $8199 waa raised. After this "means of grace," Mi. M. C. Hazard, of Chicago, was announced. He slluded to a certain time when he had to. speak tn Chicago on the subject of "Dy namic* of Sunday Schools be said that tills time he should speak of "Do never miss" in teaching. lie thought that the grand objcct of all this Sunday School teaching is to take theac children captives and bring then to the foot of the Cross.— He would not like to trust hi* child to a teacher who did not hlmelf know thi way to Christ. He thought a teacher needs Tact. Some persons wero of such a frigid character that when they sit down before a class they will freeze up every thing before them. Another class of teachers are possessed of so much dignity that when one of them appears before the class every one feel* as if a ton of religion had dropped down upon them and would certainly crush* them all. He illustrated the power of tact, and made everyone see that a teacher, to be successful, must have tact in attracting attention, in teach ing facts, in enforcing truth, etc. ne showed that forced attention amounts to nothing—that we must baye the tact to secure the child's voluntary attention Then tlie teacher must be entliusiasti cal about the lesson. He must tcach in simple speech. There arc songs in many of our books which our children do not understand. A dear little girl once was thinking of a sentence in one of our dear est hymns and finally, with a puzzled look said "Mother,what is a—con—consecrat ed-cross-eyed bear?" His aext point was that a teacher must understand what he is to teach. One way to do this is by con tinued fresh study, by making use of all the helps they can get. But above all things search the Bible and prove scrip ture by sottptuN. He «tid that the most fautly method of teaching was that of lecturing and the bebt style of teaching that of asking questions. He said the in terrogation point waa.tkaped exactly like the human ear. The overflow meeting was also well attended, •ATUWJAT—17TH. The Sunrise Prayer Meeting was Again quite well attended, showing the great interest these delegates feel in their work. The servicc was conducted by Mr. D. Gray, of Western College. The 8:45, A. Prayer Service was con ducted by Mr. E. W. Allen, of Marshall town. After a very edifying session, the topic "How can we engage more Lay men In Active Christian Work," was dis cussed by Rev. Dr. Hurd, of Marshall town. He emphasized the word wi How can WB do this. We Pastors and Lay-workers—we must feed them—a half starved man will not work. They must be taught. A sense of penonal responsibili ty must be rolled upon them. He spoke of the great need of consecration to the work—then it will be a success. On "Studying and Utiog the Bible" Editor M. C. Hazard made many telling points, among which are tlie following 1st. Select a good Bible. A teacher should have the best—a full and reliable reference Bible, with Maps and Topical Text Book. He spoke of the Bagster Bi ble and several otbeT editions]-, but more particularly recommended the American Tract Society's "Teacher's Bible," as per haps the most suitable and helpful band Bible for every S. S. Worker. He also, insisted upon great familiarity with the Bible and particularly with the lesson to be taught. Let the Reporter here remark that it is highly improtent that etery teholar have a amall Bible with references, and never recite from the Lesson Paper. At 11 o'clock Dr. Chas. F. Veber, of Marahalltown, spoke on "The Essentials to Successful Teaching of the Bible." lit •poke of the great importance of real, thorough preparation: appreciation of the work indlyidual effort and an ex pectation of success. He was then fol lowed with five-minute speeches on the pnviaoa topics. Among quite a nuntber of delegates who (poke, Mr. Weidentall made com* telling remark* on "iiulde study" so that we may be able to instruct the *oul, from the icripture*, *o as to lead to aalvatlon by an intelligent view of Ckriat.

He lifttMd ta Fayette Oooaty being thor aaghlyeqt—ia*iL Conventions to them idMtrict aad aphoai ia P«t«r At 3, P. M., the Prfsident remind ed us that the greatest power to move the world of mankind is heart power and then introduced Rev. Wm. Wi -d sor of Marshalltown, or. tlie topic "The Teachers Heart Power." After speaking of different rowers and their proper associatons —he reminded us that the Gospel is thepowerof God unto salvation. He reminded us that niany elements combine to give the tcacher power, such aa promptness, kindness, adaptability, aptness to teach, etc. He has the great love of God as his central theme. Mr. W. showed that a merely Intellectual teach er never secures the conversion of the soul, lliis intellectual power is highly important, hot it must be accompanied by thia heart power of love to God and souls. A warm, loving heart is much better than whole libraries of knowledge. He then spoke of the importance of sin cerity, enthusiasm and tenderness. At this period of the meeting the Pres ident announced th&t the Woman's Chris tian Union had tent a friendly greeting to this Convention. The Secretary then proceeded to read this kind letter which we should copy were it not too lengthy. After thi* reading the chairman intro dued a Scripture and Bong Service on the ''Model Teacher." This Bible-reading accompanied with these appropriate stanzas of sacred song was indeed a soul refreshing season, as well as a very t°n $truetive lesson but I can not dscribe it It must be heard in order to realize its character and importance. Mr. Hurd then read an appropriate Res ponse to the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union. This paper was unanimous ly adopted and the meeting closed at S P. M., with a Teacher's Mceting.conduct ed by Mr. Hazard This exercise con ducted by such a matter in bis work, was one of great value to every teacher pres ent. Indeed, a real live teacher would not miss that 30 minutes drill for a dollar. And yet, strange to tell, a few of the ap pointed teachers were absent. If only all our Superintendents and Teachers known the inestimable value of a good teacher's meeting, we should have better Sunday Schools every where. In the evening we had another Scrip ture Reading and Song Service, conduct ed by Mr. Gillmore and Prof. Bunn. It la to be hoped that many of these dele gates will introduce exercises of this kind into their own schools and congregations. With tlie help ef such a work as The Bible Text-Book, furnished by the Amer ican Tract Society for 40 cents, any one with teaching ability can thus engage in this excellent style of Gospel teaching. The last Lecturc of the Convention was delivered by Kev. Dr. J. C. Hurd "The Sabbath School and the National Life." This was one of the Doctor's hap py efforts. He spoke first, in eloquent strains of our country's greatness. Then, after referring to our glorious prospects, he reminded us that everything depends altogether upon the moral character of the people. After spcr.kinff of several of the potent influences now at work to de moralize the people, and which are threat ening the nation's overthrow. He re ferred to the Chinese Ambassador who inquired of Queen Vicloria—"What is the secret of your nation's greatness?" and her characteristic reply—"THE BOLE." He made every listener to see—to feel that notwithstanding all oui advantages and glorious prospects, we'are in the great est possible danger and that nothing can save us but—the Bible and that the Sab bath School is the special means, chosen of God to teach the rising nation the Bi ble. After this lecture tlie chairman announc ed the lost topic of the Pregrammc, "Lord, what wilt Thou have Me to do," and stat ed that there would be several five min nte speeches. The first speaker was Mr. Weidensall, who gave us another of his soul-stirring speeches, closing with an eloquent reference to his own special work in the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation. He was followed by Mr. E. W. Allen and tben by Judge Struble, of To ledo and Mrs. Prof. Parker, of Iowa City. The latter said that she must relate a little of her own life experience an4 then made some very touching allunions to that well known accident by which all her children went into the deep at once. She spoke tenderly to the mothers, the young ladies and the Missionary Societies. The closing remarks were made by Mr. Hazard who arrse saying, that the felt that these closing words oilght to be very carefully chosen, and he hoped every one who ever prayed, wonld pray the Lord to direct all be should say. He thought that the first thing that the Lord wanted us to do was to make a new consecration to His service. At thi* point he paused to take an ex pression from that large audience and hundreds arose to signify that they de tired to make this entire consecration. After a few word* oT prayer, Bro. Hazard enquired whether any present desired to •eek salvation, and one soul arose, after which all bowed again in solemn prayer led by Bro. Hazard. Thus closed this hesaion, for which the Lord has favor.d n* with such remarkably fine weather, and during which so many souls have enjoyed such "heavenly sittings together ia Christ Jesus." This entire convention had but very little of the business char acter, bM i#$* aimoat entirely devotional, ajd well calculated to ipiritually edify all who we^ weMat. aajjjtwt wiainir. g-'rBfrj|«riaB*:.«ri*Bg»1B'i*l. the several vary app w- 3* WWtR s&M MOK^IMMI afHevada. referred to *%M«ill*uUi fa* 8*afa| Be boat teach »*,« h.i taaght blnra great araqr things with tl .eir eoapatkm* and qaestiona.

He taMit Wa* «a*y to TSto bat not so easy to do. Brother Weidentall thought It wa* not hlar.dnees—perhaps a forced smile—by T.hich Utl* result i* accomplished: It is by thai feeling of kive and good will— by (be smile or pleasant looks and acts, and WOrd* prompted by divine love—the true Index of the real christian heart. Alaala-.'of the place kmtwofortbl* occasion In the M- B. and Coa- detail, ia* Mr. Wet- ahtedtoglv* 1 tha latter said: tha Itratfkt and strong, that root running down ltV»a*ar-i —down, pwfci|* a hundred feet, till it finds WaiaT^^MfclfeWl it will grow in the very desert. So the christian stands morally upright firm and may indeed flourish where one would thinik ^e could not live. Every this ought to torn to the Mod P*alp and read this comparison of the rtlgXue«« to the palm tree and the stately cedar of Lebanon. In the afternoon at 2 o'clock,there was ft. Union mcctlag held in the Melhodift house. This was a Bible reading an^ spiritual song service, at which the l«aij Ing speakers were Brn. Weideusall, Buna, Ballentyne, Allen, Rindell, and Frazel!.— This was an Interesting meeting. Some of the brethren were so full of the Convention spirit that they rode out fire miles in the country and turned a preach ing meeting into a little convention, and the people there seem to think that they nev er had such a good meeting before. Thi,* band of evangelists consisted of Rev. M. R. Drury, Dennis Gray, J. C. Miller, an% J. A. Harrigan. At an early hour the two- ehwoln* were again filled to overflowing. In the Methodist Church many wore unable to secure scats filling the lobby and entrance, and many were compelled to leave, not being able to find standing: room. ,, The meeting began with a song servloa by the choir, after which an experience meeting was held, the subject being What good has the Convention done me," in which the followlne persons took part, Revd's ,W. Frazell, Ingham, and others. After the singing of several hymns Mr. Hazard of Chicago, arose and delivered a very interesting address keep ing the attention of the audience com pletely for over three-quarters of an hour. His address consisted in giving words of instruction to mothers, Sunday school teachers, Ac and after a few parting words of clicer and farewell, the audience sang, "Shall we meet beyond the rivci«i9 The audience was dismissed and the con vention closed being a blessing to all w had the pleasure of attending. In the Congregational Church the me^L, ing was conducted by Mr. Giluiors a*d Prof. Bunn Mr. Gilmore spoke of "Poison and its Antidote." He introduced his discourse by relating an anecdote: A little girl came into the room with a basket of ber ries, saying, Papa, see here what a lot of berries I have picked for you Her father with great concern, learned from her that she had not eaten any of these nice looking berries then took them out and buried them in a deep hole in the ground. She said, Papa, why did you do thafct His reply to the affectionate child was They are the berriet of the deadly night thade" He spoke of the fact tlint our children •ire exposed to many moral poisons, and that we are too apt to indulge and excuse them when they are actually partaking of these poisons. mniTn vrnnRnv A«MMFL|L*IUBO rt i r.[ At 4 o'clock, the children's meeting in M. E. Church, and the young people's meeting in the Congregational Church, were well attended and will be long re membered as a very bright spot in life by all who were present. The children's meeting was dbnducted chiefly by Mr. Hazard, and the young people's meeting by Mr. Weidensall, under whose touching remarks, three persons arose to ask th* brayers of christians. 8ABBATII EVEXTNO. 1 *349# He thought we were altogether too much inclined to generalize, and thus miss our mark when we speak of the pop ular evils of the day. lie would speak specifically of the more prevalent moral poisons, to which onr children are inclined to resort. He spoke of pride, love of fashion, ia*' pudence and questionable evening par ties. He referred to'the boy who picks up cigars, as fairly on his way to dissipa tion, drunkenness and debauchery. We could often see the sad effect of moral poisoning in the very walk of the fast boy. He reminded us of the fearfully prevalent habit of reading light literature and its baneful results. He spoke of il lustrated papers filled with police reports and other delineations of crimes, and the legitimate fruits of passing these streams of corruption through the mind. He thought there should be laws enacted and enforced to prohibit all this dangerous class of literature. He would warn pa rents against many spiritual poisons, among which are, the tendency jo send girls to Catholic schools —to look upon the inroads of rationalism as though it were a small matter —and this prevalent greed for gain—this mammon worship and the various forms of Baal worship of our day. He felt glad that there is a remedy—the Word of God. But, this Scripture anti uote must be introduced early, so that it may pre-occupy the minds of our children and thus fortify them against the devices of Satan, and lay the foundatiou of a virtuous life. He referred to the m»nner in which the heathen train their children —how Chinese children are indoctrinated from the writings of Confucius and how diligently the Roman Catholics train their children in their doctrines and faith NOTICE He then spoke of the deep interest with which we should watch the talk bor dering on obscenity among our children, and bow we must frown it down and whenever we see any of these poisoning processes going on, how we need to be prompt, diligent, faithful and eourageout to put it down. Prof. Bunn then made some very touch ing allusions to the life of the lamented singer P. P. Bliss who perished in the Ashtabula disaster. He said, that good man's life always thont out like rays of heavenly light and how the hallelujah feature entered into all his compositions He then sung a touching song written by Mr. Root on the death of Mr. Bliss—"An other Singer in that Heavenly Choir." Thus this Convention closes, leaving the impression on every mind, that It was ''a heavenly altting together in'•Christ Jesus." And after having heard this "swaet singer In Isreal" Prof. Bunn, many worshiper will ever cherish the memory of tha time when he heard the Gospel *n*t as well as preached. In the Toledo 8. 8.
