Phebe eer Provincial Secretaries Gave Pointed Addresses--The Officers Elected By the Association for the Year, All the Sunday schools of the city had representatives at the convention held in the First Baptist church on Tuesday afternoon. The object of this assembly was to advance the movement of creating 'organized classes." The question was fully discussed from five outil six o'clock, and weedless 'to say the majority were in favor of the scheme. The convention was, resumed again at eight o'clock Tuesday evening in the Sunday schoel room of the same church. and two addresses dealing with the subject were delivered by Rev. 1. 'W. Halpeany, Provincial Grand Secretary of Sunday school work, and P. G. Orwig, Secretary for the second division of the same work. Mr. Orwig dealt chiefly with the four recognizable facts that must be dealt with to create the development of the boy if he is to be kept interest- ed in the spiritual activities of the school.
