IIIL- -..__-A| "The J oint Responsibility. of the Parent and the S. S. Teacher, the first subject discussed, was introduced by J. M. Williams, Barrie. He said that the time given to religious teaching is in tremendous disproportion to the other sides 0! human culture. For one hour _a week religious teaching and S. S. in- uence are brought to bear on the child, and if the parent and day school teach- er neglect their responsibilities in this respect the child then goes 100 hours. leaving out sleeping time, before it is again brought in touch with the Book of Truth. The teacher must reach the scholar through the heart as well as through the head. The par_ent s duty is "to teach the child in the way of wisdom and to lead it in right paths The. character and happiness of the child depend upon the home inuence. _. ._.J V.-_-v an-an The annual and the nancial statement were given by the Sec.-Treaa., O. M. Donne, `Shanty Bay. In the discussion which followed it was shown that the parent gives some responsibility to the teacher; that the teachers should visit the scholars in their homes ; that nothing tells so much as visiting in gaining the love of the '**.1.:1_'z==~`- ihve-'Possibilitres of Mental and `Moral Culture with the Bible as Liter- ature," were ably discussed by Rev. '1`hos. Leonard, Dalston. He said that even as a literary composition the Bible is the most remarkable book the world has ever seen. It surpasses all others as a source of information, of discipline, and of culture. It tells us of God, sin, atonement, forgiveness, heaven, hell. These are great subjects. It is adapted in give mental discipline. Power of mind is a'ected by the quality of the reading material. Culture can iind`no better foundation on which to build than the Ten Oommandments. In point of style the Bible is ideal. ..It is clear and concise, often rising to the sublime. It is always energetic. In the Bible the human mind comes in,` contact with the divine mind, and in no other book can we nd such mental stimulus. Prize the word ; study it for literary power; teach itand preach it. The book which begat English prose still remains its highest type. B.P.G.-Where are you bound ! You can t drift into heaven. D.H.K.--'1`he Captain : on board."
