¥O. 125 WORK OF SUNDAY SCHOOL DISCUSSED BY ONTARIO SYNOD TUESDAY AFTERNOON General Secretary Hiltz Gave An Ad- dress -- The Problem a Difficult 'One to the Rural Districts. At the conclusion of the charge of Bishop Bidwell, at the Tuesday afternoon session of the Ontario Synod, the following reselution, mov- ed by Chancellor McDonald and se¢- onded by Archdeacon Besmish, was carried by a standing vote: "That the thanks of the Synod he and are hereby given to the Lord Bishop, for his able charge, with which the Bynod is in hearty concur- rence, and his lordship is requested to have the charge published in full in the Journal of Synod, His Lordships suggestions and recommendations {n reference to the stipends of the clergy, and the pro- vision for them of suitable honses, are conturred in by the Synod, and it is hoped that effect will be given to them." Chancellor McDonald and Areh- deacon Beamish both spoke of the good work carried on by Bishop Bidwell, and in which all the mem- bers of the Synod heartily concur- red. Following the Bishop's charge the Synod took up the report of the Sunday school, presented by the chairman, Rev. H. H. Bedford-Jones, and following the receiving of this report, Rev. R. L. Hiltz, M.A., gen- "eral secretary of Sunday schools, ad- dressed the Synod. The report of the Sunday school showed that the apportionment $436 for 1917, was raised in full, and the total receipts of the commission were larger than ever before. The am- ount required for the work, how- ever, is also growing, especially in view of the need of an additional sécrotary for field work. The amount asked for from .the diocese in 1918 will be $546, The reportialso pointed out that the third Bunday in October seems to have been universally observed in the diocese. A suggestion to al- ter the date from time to time was made, but the Sunday School Com- mission is opposed to it. Statistical Returns. The report contained the follow- ing: . ! The statistical returns, on which the flgu presented to the General Synod will be based, are still in complete. 1t is apparent; 'however, that a large number of the sehools, especially in rural districts, are not as' yet adopting a number of the Commission's suggestions. If the fault les with the Commission and the needs of the rural and smaller schools have not hitherto been met, then an opportunity for saying so is not offered. A questionaire on the problems of smaller schools has been issued, and the commission expects to deal with the answers before the au- 'tumn, It is hoped that ways and means for a fuller measure of help will be found for the special difficul- ties of raral schools, and the clergy are asked to think over, and discuss the questions, and make suggestions in returning the form to Mr. Hiltz. In presenting the Sunday School report, Rev. Mr. Bedford-Jones point- ed out the great need of training teachers for the work of the Sunday school. » : An Inspiring Address. Rev. Mr. Hiltz delivered a most in- spiring address on Sunday school work. He spoke of the work of the Sunday School Commission, as to what it stood for and what it is do- ing. The Commission stood for co- operation, encouragement and stimu- lation. The speaker made special reference to work among the boys and girls of the teen age. In these days of wa¥, responsibilities were being placed on shoulders which in many cases, were unequal, and would not be equal unless the church arose to the occasion. Mr. Hiltz emphasized the great need for teacher-training. He said that teacher training had become ra- ther common place.
