She reported 63 cradle rolls, with an enrollment of 1107 babies. (Rev.) Mrs. Rae, Misâ€" sionary Superintendent, reported that 52 had sent in reports, and said that there was great need that the schools in the county should have more misâ€" sionary instruction, that a deeper inâ€" terest in this work should be aroused. â€"Mr. A. W. Galbraith, Home Dept. Suâ€" perintendent, 43 home depts., with an enrollment of 1439 members. Mr.â€"G. S. Sim, Secondary Division, reported that there was many of the teen age classes that were not registered and made the request that those who were present would endeavor to have the classes in their school, who were not registered, to do so with their own deâ€" nominational headquarters. The Temâ€" perance and Adult Supts. were not present and no reports were sent in. W. S. Moss, cor. sec‘y treasurer, sumâ€" med up in his report. Secretaryâ€"Treasufer‘s Report There are in the County of South York 108 Bible or Sunday Schools, as follows: Markham Twp., 34; Scearboro 16, Vaughan 21, Etobicoke 17, York 20. Reports were received in 1917 from 33 in Markham, 11 in Scarboro, 19 in Vaughan, 14 in Etobicoke, and 9 in York, a total of 86 schools whose officers thought it worth while to give a record of their schools. In makâ€" ing up my report for the provincial The afternoon session began with a devotional service conducted by the president, singing of the Beautiful Words of Life; reading of Scripture, and prayer by the Rev. F. Rac of Unionville, and W. S. Moss, secretary. The president called upon Rev. A. W. Roffe for the quiect hour, who in his usual impressive way led the audience in thought of the importance of the "Touch of the hand of God upon his people would help them to do better service." The quiet hour has become one of the most important and inspirâ€" ing items in these conventions, and to know what they do for those who atâ€" tend cannot be reported they have to be felt. The 28th annual convention of â€"S. York County. Sunday School Associaâ€" tion was held at Agincourt on Wedâ€" nesday and Thursday, Feb: 13 and 14. The executives of Scarboro. Township and the county met in the morning, after which a short session was held presided over by Mr. E. W. Moyle, the president of the county. The hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesu‘s Name," was sung and prayer by the Revs. H. Carmichael, Searboro Junction, C. E. Luce, Bircheliff, A. W. Roffe, Mimico. ‘"The Way of the Cross Leads Home" was sung, followed by a conference, "How to secure unity of the township with the county association. Many useâ€" ful hints were given, and it was thought that it will result in bringing the associations into closer touch. Rev. H. Carmichael, Mr. S. J. Douglas and Mr. A. W. Galbraith were appointed as the resolution committee, after which adjournment was made. Dinner was served in the convention church school room. A speedy settlement should be arâ€" rived at. It is a serious loss to our community to have this tie up and a big loss to the country. Splendid work has been done during the past few weeks by our commission department. Under the direction of Mr. Greer the electrical apparatus has been working thawing out water pipes. It has been mostâ€"successful and economical. Nearâ€" ly fifty homes were frozen during the cold spell. Most of these were on the town property. To have reached them otherwise a great deal of digging would have been necessary, which unâ€" der present conditions would have been nextto an impossibility. Our department are to be complimented upon their excellent work. noon resulted in further progress. The men have the support of the whole labor corganization. Peaceful methods will be enforced by the men. Meetings are held each day in West Toronto. b Weston is the scene of a strike. It is the first in our history. The big fine plant of the Canada Cycle & Moâ€" tor Works is only running and that is all. Over 150 men, it is stated, are now out. It is all because of a little notice posted by the firm. This noâ€" tice while small is rather effective. It reduced the wages of the buffers and polishers from 60¢ to 50¢ per hour and cut down their piece work rates also. Under the old agreement these men could _ knock out over $35 per week. The cut it is claimed by the men does not permit them to make a living wage. The firm claims that under the new arrangement they can still make $30 per week. It looks like a big fight, as both sides are deâ€" termined upon the course which they have adopted. Neither will give way. The men have the plant picked. Evâ€" ery man who approaches by car or train is quietly told of the situation. The company also have Constable J. Bell on the picket to look after their interests. A long conference with the firm and the men on Monday afterâ€" If we do not save the fuel what 'Wifk-be\tlge natural result. Next winâ€" ter we will face a worse condition. It means that we will have to go withâ€" out. This can all be avoided by a careful watching of the coal bins. Weston citizens have in a small way felt the pinch or want of coal. While no one has actually suffered, yet the suffering has been close. By dint of exertion and careful dealing out the supplies, everybody has been fairly well cared for. We havé had some awful stuff to burn, cannel coal, soft coal, coke, nut, egg, stove and pea coal, wood of all kinds. Some of it has been good and some of it little more than dust, ice and snow. This _ experience â€"should, however, drive home to everyone the dire neâ€" cessity of using extra care in conseryâ€" ing the supply. No one should keep furnaces and coal ranges goingâ€"use coal oil. It is just as good as the coal range. Just as fine cooking can be prepared there as upon your coal range. By doing this you will save a lot of coal. servation on our part. Each can put up with the temporary dimly lighted streets. All are asked to coâ€"operate with the authorities. BIG CONVENTION Mr. R. M. Loveless, assistant supt. of the convention Sunday School, gave the address of welcome. He said that he was glad to welcome the convenâ€" tion to Agincourt, first because of the influence that it would have upon the work and that would beâ€"left after, for the social element and the spiritual association, because of the great aim that we had in the work that we were doing, "the winning of the young life into the Church of God," because of the true patriotism that was being brought into the lives of those who come into touch with the schools that many of them have shown in fighting and dying for church, country and King; nay, more, because of the nobleâ€" ness of the cause in which we are enâ€" gaged. Solo by Mr.~E. Chamberlain, "Crossing the Bar," which was renderâ€" ed with good effect. The address, ‘"The Open Door," by the Rev. B. W. Merrill, was one of help and inspiraâ€" tion.

Anthony, minister of the convention church; by prayer and a short address, taking as the basis of his remarks the fext: "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightâ€" ness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."â€"Dan. 12â€"3. $288 26 After the Secretary‘s report Miss Bertha Laine of the Provincial Office gave a talk upon the new standards, pointing out where we failed and how we might reach a higher percentage before the time to send in this year‘s report for the Provincial convention. Rev. B. W. Merrill was on the_proâ€" gramme for an address, but owing to the train being late, did not reach the convention church until after the sesâ€" sion had adjourned. The time was taken up in discussion upon topies of interest to Sunday School workers, afâ€" ter which adjournment was made for suppoers _ E There are 226 (teen age) between the agesâ€"of L2 and 20 years. East year‘s report gave 247, decrease 21. Only about 30 to 35 of these classes are registered. This year we have reâ€" ported 160 adult Bible classes. Last year 176 was reported, a decrease of 16. 24 schools report having temâ€" perance superintendents or secretarâ€" ies, an increase of 4 for the year. 166 is the number of pledges signed durâ€" ing the year. The total number in the whole of the county reported as pledged is 3198, out of 11,862. Accordâ€" ing to this there are 8663 who have not signed the pledge. What are you going to do about that? 47 schools reported using the graded lessons. 33 schools made special efforts for deâ€" cisions. 277 were added to the church. 38 schools have missionary superinâ€" tendents or secretaries, or are giving special instruction along missionary lines. $1759.60 â€" was given‘ by the: schools for missions.

We have in South York an army of officers and teachers who give themâ€" selves in service to the work of the Bible school, numbering 1093, while we have an enrollment of 8570 scholâ€" ars, making a total of attending memâ€" bers of 9670, or a grand total of 11,â€" 862 attending and nonâ€"attending memâ€" bers. an enrollment of ten hundred and eightyâ€"nine babies (eleven hundred and five babies).

Our aim is to link up these with the school, or evâ€" erybody in the school and all the school in the church. 106 schools out of the 108 are Everâ€" greens, open all the year, while the other two shut down for three months, as you heard from Mrs. Duncan there are 53 cradle rolls, 61 association,with convention I had to resort to the reâ€" port of the year before to get anyâ€" thing like a correctâ€"report. Some of the township secretaries have a great deal of difficulty in getting the indiâ€" vidual schoolâ€" report as correctly and on time as we would wish. If the suâ€" perintendents andâ€" secretaries would see that their school was on time with a correct report in all the details, the township secretaries would have a muth better report to send in, and their work would be much easier and a lot pleasanter, because of the enâ€" couragement there would be, and I believe that the standing of the Counâ€" ty of South York would be higher up in the standard if we knew just where we are at. Many of the reports sent in are not in any way correct and ene reason for this is that in many schools the records are not carefully kept; if they were it would not be so much troubel to make a correct report in all the details. We do not ask from any school more than their own denominaâ€" tional authorities ask. May I ask that each superintendent or delegate here willâ€"go back to their own school and try their best to have their school help their township secretary this year to have a complete correct report to preâ€" sent to the provincial office, and I know they will appreciate your effort, because they, like yourselves, are menâ€" who have their own interests to look after. They are busy men. Don‘t forâ€" get the old saw, "The willing horse alâ€". ways gets the most to do." Well, a, word to the wise is enough. Don‘t put too much upon them, but do yourl bit.
