SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE The Sunday School Institute for Whitby District Methodist Sunday Schools was held at Prince Albert last Thursday, and was very well attended and of great help to those who were present, An inspirational address was given in the afternoon by Rev. F. J. Max- well--"The Qualifications Necesary for Sabbath School Teaching." The ideals set forth by the speaker were very high and wherever they are found in a teacher they are product- ive of the best results in Sunday School work. One or two sentences from the address might be quoted. "Education is never a good substitute for' regeneration." "A baptism of the Holy Spirit makes duty a first consideration." A prayerful. spirit is essential. Ye have not because ye ask not." Rev. Wm. Higgs presented "The Relation of Children to the Church" and discussed the place of baptism in the religious life of the child and its relation to the child, the church and the future life. A Round Table Conference, led by Mr. S. Farmer, proved most interest- ing .as the delegates had many pro- blems to be discussed. At the Roll Call of Sunday Schools Rev. Mr. Swayne's prize to the Sun- day School, having the largest per- centage representation, was awarded to Manchester, of which school Mr. W. D. Munro is the Superintendent. a very appetizing supper was served by the ladies of Prince Albert and en- joyed by about one hundred delegates. At the evening session two address- es were delivered. The first "What to Teach" by Miss May Madden whose outline of her subject was very much appreciated. ~ Her topics for teaching were: 1. Teach the Bible. Other subjects many be discussed in the Sunday School, but they should be discussed in the light of Bible truth. . What does the Bible say regarding the matter being discussed. 2. Teach the loving Fatherhood of God. 8. Teach the Sonship of Christ, His humanity, and His understanding of our problems. 4. Teach an essential difference in the lifeof the Christian and the non- hristian. 5. Teach the fundamental truth-- not doctrines! 6. Teach the foundation hymns. Such teaching would give the young people a firm and sure found- ation for life. product always commands a pre- « mium and is ready saleable at a pro- fitable price.

The Oshawa Telegram pub- lishes a list of names of those buried in this cemetery numbering some 118 in all It seems too bad that the cemetery should have to be closed; but it cer- tainly far better to do this than to allow it to be neglected. The suggestion has been made to erect a cairn on the grounds, clean the cemetery up and hand it over to the city to be used as a small park.

It is to be hoped that the rumor becomes an accomplished fact, and that every minister in the neighborhood of Port Perry be in- vited to join the Association and take part in its deliberations. There is great need for taking stock of local conditions in charch matters, and making a survey with a view to encouraging church attendance by a large number of people who at pre- sent rarely or ever go to church. A united survey would clear up the difficulties of over-lapping and the charge of "proselyting". There are hundreds of people who have no par- ticular church association. True they "lean" toward one or the other of the churches; or their parents were mem- bers of one of the denominations; but they go nowhere to church, and take no interest in church matters. Because of their "leanings" or in- heritance it frequently happens that these people are neglected by all re- ligious leaders. This is but one of many problems with which a representative minister- ial Association might deal. t---- 0 -- HERE AND THERE Quality articles are made for peo- ple who are tired of the extravagance of cheap things.
