The Rev Mr Amy having previously stated that it would be impossible for him to be here to-morrow was asked by the Presi. dent to introduce the subject he was expect- ed to address the meeting on to-morrow, via :-- Earnestness and skill in the work." which he did most ably although he said he was unprepared for it. He stated that having not been much could not speak fully on theskill required but on earnestness in the work. This every one required to be ful, to be a ful teacher, His heart must be right, his lips touched as with live coals from off the Altar and his heart sprinkled with the Holy Spirit. He must then go into it with all the carnestness in his power, giving an instance of one female teacher who had been the means of doing a great deal of good in lead ing three different classes one after the oth- er to the saviour, 8nd on examination of her diary it was found there were three resolu- tions written there. 1st. To pray for each by name. 2nd. Agonizing in prayer. 3rd Expecting the blessing. To be successful we must be in earnest. We should have clear ideas of the Scrip-- tures ourselves. 'We must ourselves have preparation of the subjects. The lesson should be short, 'We must bring the lesson before them in an attractive manner, but let the salvation of the child be the principal thing and prayer should certainly ascend to the throne for more light and as to the motive we for have working in the vineyard of the Lord. We have to do with souls not only for this world but for another, Training them to shine in Heaven, Hymn--By-and by. Mr Weeks spoke of the help which Sab- School Teachers had in their work. Bureau Leaves, Sabbath School Banner, &c. > Mr Thom illustrated the power of Earn. estnesg in bringing Souls to the Saviour. The Teacher's heart must be in a blaze of Love to the Baviour. + Mr. Gordon spoke of the example Mr, Moody had given of earnestness in the work, picturing the backwardness of his youth, but plished & vast amount of good both in America and at the present time in England 'and Scotland. The S. 8. Teacher must acquire a thorough knowledge of his scholars and must endeay- or by every means to plant the seed in the child's heart as he can understand it and pray to God earnestly for his blessing on the seed sown, Rev. Mr. Dowling showed that we had the highest and strongest motives--we have the earnestness of the master himself who took upon him the nature of a child, passed through all the trials and difficulties of a child--entered into a child's feeling~see him entreating them to Suffer little children to come, &c. We must be equally in earnest for the souls of little children as for hoary headed sinners. On motion of Mr. Thom seconded by Mr. Cockburn, Rev. Mi, Dowling and A. Gordon were appointed to examine the questions in the question drawer aud answer them. Mr. Leatch also spoke very strongly on the matter of skill and earnestness in the work. It should be the special aim of every Teacher to lead the children directly to Christ, Session closed with the doxology and ben- ediction, EVENING SESSION. Opened by Praise, Reading the Scriptures and Prayer. After which Rev. Mr, Thom addressed the meeting on "What the Sabbath Schools have done." In the new settlements where mo Sabbath service had ever beep some men with, the fear of God in their hearts had congregated a number of the children to- getherand then instructed them out of the)' Bible--giving instances of how some had been established in the west and how the wedge of Divine truth had been inserted. -- Also how they had been established in France even where the minister of the Gospel could have had Ro entrance.

We must have right views of the natuy- al man--a state of degeneracy, want of light | and want of love. © 2. The power of the grace of God. Grace has procured Christ to undergo propitiatory sacrifice on our behalf. 3. The openings left here and there for Teachers. The law must be put into the mind by the Bible and the Teachers aided by the Divine Spirit. The teacher must have love for the work in his heart which can only be given by the spirit of God. Hymn 218--Waiting at the Door. Mr. Carson speaking of the 'chief end: and Spint--showed that the human heart is alien. iated from God and the holy spirit of God is the only instrument which can bring it back--Let us pray earnestly then for God's Sabbath, he also spoke very strongly against : aiin of 8 § Teaching and by the Divine[ whose own souls have been blessed by the | mye school lesson on te Sas attended to diligent study of God's word.

Mr- Thom thinks filthy: overt on the Sabbath one great cause of failure and every day amyigements another also platform exhibitions, spoken of by previous speakers. Mr. Cockburn also spoke very strongly cn Sabbath observance, thought that too much attention cannat be given to this in our Sab- bath Schools also spokeof the co-operation of phreoth with 8 School Teachers, also of 8 School entertainments which im so many cases are detrimental fo Sabbath School work: sh Mr Weeks thinks that for the purpose of avoiding all the dangers which bas been spoken off with reference to 8 8 entertain ments we should have a much larger portion of § 8 Music and addresses which shonld be to the point.

Mr. Stuart,we came into the world in a de. generate stato and the chief end and aim should be the conversion of the scholar and for this we should work with all earnestness Let one great end and aim be to bring souls to Christ. Mr. Leatch thinks that in any 8 School which has Leon kept up-for & length of time and where no conversion has been made there is some delinquency somewhere. The principal end and aim should be the conversion of the children to Christ. Mr. Stovin--That every 8. 8. Teacher should himself be a converted person--only those who have felt the love of Christ in their own hearts can expect to see the scholars converted under them. Mr. Gordon=-That every Teacher should have deeply impressed upon his own heart his own responsibility in the sight of God. He should be personally acquainted with the character of every scholér under his charge.

After devotional exercises, Mr. Carson introduced the subject of Cause of Failure in school. He believes that no eye but one can tel] whether there Aas been any failure in Sabbath School. Where we may expect that no good is being done there God's Bpirit has been working, instancing the case of one young man from a Sabbath School where there was not even the confidence of the Teacher in opening the School with prayer who bad become an eminent Presbyterian Minister in Australia and anothera Methodist Minister. = § School work requires steady aim, skill and earnest- ness, Men often mistake Knowledge aid formal. ng energies put 8.8.
