On behalf of Wareham Church, Mr. Holmes gave a hearty welcome to the convention. The special speaker was Rev. Geo. Morrison whn ably outlined, "Home problems in which the church can help bring the church and' the Sun- day School into the hora^," stressed the need for co-operation between the home and church. Christian teaching in the home having fallen down. The Church must show parents the need the help of the church to teach the child to pray intelligently. Address by Rev. Morrison also spoke on "Visitation Evangelism," a special prog-am for the organized church to carry out. Discussion on parent-teacher re- lationship was led by D. Stephens, which brought out problems t" be faced and how they might be solved. Problem to Present Christianity To present Christianity, clear cut and definite, a definite faith, pro- ducing quality in character positive!^' Christian, living and mutured in the church, a li'ving expression of God's great family, new birth through the blood of Christ. A couple of numbers sung by Miss E. Lepard and Miss B. Lougheed and led by Mrs. Percy Lougheed and Miss Mary Nicol, were much appreciated. A sumptuous supper was provide<1 by the Wareham ladies in the base- ment. , At- the evening service a song ser- vice was led by Mr. H. K.Leary and devotions bv Rev. L. Shein.

Morrison and the ladies and people of Wareham The Badjeros Sunday School to the number of about 16. rendered a number of selections, which was much enjoyed. Rev. Geo. Morrison, again address- ed the convention, having as his sub- ject, "The Home as an Agency of Christian Education." He stressed the difficulties to be faced: the chancre which will accompany return of ar- med forces to ordinary civil life; the easy money earned in industry by both men women; loose living and delinquency; junior crime traceable to homes; failure in family relation- ships; parents falling down in their duty; young peoplp livimg adult lives before they are adults. He stated that the home has thrown the children on other agencies for Christian education The fa.milv must be Sunday School and church centred to win, making Christ the centre of living. Rev. Holmes closed the comvention with prayer. The new executive is looking for- ward to taking a deeper interest in the work of Sunday Schools and - trust that through the Sunday Schools much can be accomplished in support of Christian activities.

Westcott of Flesherton conducted the evening service, after which Rev. Mr. Morrison smoke on "Questions Boys and Girls Would Ask." Two very inspirational addresses were given at this session. Rev. C. D. Cox of Priceville. spoke on "The Teachers' Conti'ibution to Home and Sunday School." pointing out that the time will never come when parents have lost their responsibility for their children's training. Some fathers he said are much more in- terested in producing pure bred farm stock than in teaching their o'wn sons The best way to train the young, he said, svas to train yourself at the same time. The teacher must en- deavor to establish a friendly re- lationship in the home, casual and helpful. Rev. Geo. Morrison, in his closing address, chose as his theme.. 'ITie Home as an .A.gency of Christian Ed- ucation." He stressed the fact that the school cannot accomplish its pur- pose without the co-operation of the home, an^ that what we want our children to learn, we must be our- selves.
