Mr. W. J. Bell from the Agricultural‘ Department, Toronto, was present and gave an address on the work of the Board, The Farmers‘ Institute had, perhaps, outâ€" lived its usefulness, and the present Boards were organized along different lines. But they would certainly be a failure unless the members were fully active, alive and did things. _ Perhaps the most importany work would be the organization of farm. ers‘ Clubs, both young and old could meet and discuss their own problems anmgst‘ themselves, as well have a good time socâ€" ially and perhaps not the least good done would be the educating of young men in public speaking, where they could gain confidence in themseives, speak without hesitasion and think upon their feet The result would be more farmers filling public positions, more of them in Legislature l halls, where they will make their influence felt to the benefit of the country. S.

Dayfoot of Toronto was the visiting Sunday Schoolexpert. He said no problem was more important {ban that of leading the oyer 1,000,000 youths between the axes of 12 and 20. They need to be led, for life opens to them with bewildering fulness and the restraints of two many homesaregone after the 12th year, .A winsome perâ€" sonality is needed to be a successful leader and he gave some examples of young men whose successful careers were founded on their 8. 8, work. He contended schools should be opened the whole year, but the meeting diffâ€" ered with him on this point, at least in rural districts. Miss Winnie Binnie gave a thougbtâ€" ful address on Scripture Memorizstion which were fayourably commented on and aroused a profitable discussion. Many valuable hints were secured from a Question Drawer conducted by Mr. Dayfoot. ~A printed list of thirtyâ€" three questions covering almost all possible difficulties was supplied to the audience, and Mr. Dayfoot speaks on any or all of them on request. Just a few hints: He strongly favore a Home Department, considers a blackâ€" board indispensable, preparation should begin at least a week anead, use lesson helps all the week and leave at home on Sunday, aim to have every pupli use his or her own bible, do not give prizes but give rewards if pupiles reach a fair standard ana above all have a standard. Durhamâ€"Glenelg Association A romantic wayside table was spread with tempting yviands and willing waiâ€" ters supplied tea and coffee to one all between the sessions, Lowering clouds and ligbhtoing flashes threatened to destroy the romance and send all inâ€" doors, but the Storm King was in symâ€" pathy and allowed this important function to finish in comfort before beginning _his dampsning operations much to satisfaction of everybody. A Round Table Conference by Mr. Johoa Taylor of Hanover, Co. Secretary was an interesting feature of the eveâ€" niog. He entered on a contrast of the past with the present and had opinions from a number in the audienpe, as to where we were improving, where goâ€" ing back and Why? why ? why? Mr. Taylor has a thoughtâ€".compelling sysâ€" tem of conducting this which is of abâ€" sorbing interest, and it was highly proâ€" fi.able. Mr. R. T. Edwards had "How to make 3. 8. interestiog and in bis own graphic way made telling points. The teacher, especially the Supt. must be "enthused," little or nothing gained if no entbhusiasm, Teach by concrete examples haye the wheat and the tares the vinae and the branches, etc. Revy. Mr. Moyer bad "Bible Study with a view to Teaching." The teachâ€" er must fili the measuce before hecould pour out. . Energy was no good with. out the "Know how." â€" He impressed theimportance of baving the bible in the hacds of the pupile, of having sysâ€" tem, the lack of which caused many failures, lesson should be prepared ae an arcbitect prepares his plans, and tact must be used to apply to individâ€" wal cases. A superficial knowldege of the Bible was of little value, the true teacher must get at the depths of the book by prayer and help of the Spirit. Mr. Thoe, Nicbol, Supt. of Priceville Sunday School i.c" sotme encouragâ€" ing remarks in the conrse of relating experiences of days past and present . As was fitting there was stirring muâ€" sic by the local choir and an imprompâ€" tu duett by Rev. Mr. Moyer acd Wm.

Of Bunday School Workers DURHAM, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1917 With which is incorporated the Holstein Leader Delayed ‘gvention To be held \;'e esday, J Owing to the meetiri@®of the County Council and some othefRfobstacles, the Annual Meeting of SouthÂ¥Grey Liberal Association has been postpRned for one week, to July 4th. In Durh T. H. BINNIB, R. R. 2, PAceville, Secy. A Memorial Service was held in the Methodist Church last Sunday morning for Pte. Alex. Wells, who fell in action in the Vimy Ridge battle on 9th of April. Pte. Wells was a member of the Church, active in 8. School and Epworth League work. Many will miss him but as the places of the heroes who fall in battle must be filled, so, it is hoped, others will take his place in the home forces constiâ€" tuting the church. 5 The Orange Lodge, of which he was a member, attended in a body, attendance being large and representative. The Pastor, Rev. E. 8. Moyer, used as his topic " The Joy of Victory," taking for his text the words of Joshua 1 : 9, Be strong and of good courage, for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." â€" The career of Joshua the Conâ€" queror, was outlined, and comparisons made between his conquest and those made on behalf of righteousnes toâ€"day. The qunalities which helped Joshua to victory were emphasized: first he knew his own weakness. â€" Then he was strong in obedience to God‘s command: ‘this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth.‘ A Scottish Cavalryman uow on service was quoted : " Every time I use this sword of steel it grows the blunter ; but every time I use this Sword of the Spirit, (pointing to his Testament) it grows the sharper." § Again, Joshua was strong in moral courage. Moral battles on the part of our soldiers in the service require as much heroism as do the physical strugâ€" les in which they participate, and we, at home, must have this same spirit of morâ€" al courage. s He was strong in his faith in God. He believeth that God meant it when He said, ‘"Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread that have I given you." And believing God he was willing to go up and possess the land, even though the difficulties that were in the way seemed insurmountable. In the closing part of the service exâ€" tracts were read from Alex‘s letters to his pareuts and friends in which he had Clearly stated his position in reference to the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, in which he expressed his determination to be true to his divine Captain as well as to be true to the cause of his Earthly King. His parents and friends were encourâ€" aged‘in the Minister‘s closing words to remember that while they suffered a loss in one sense, yet in another and a higher sense they are permitted to share also in the joy of final. victory, since he also has "Fought a good fight," and has now been promoted to the ranks of the Hosts in Glory. The male quartette sang a selection "The Beautiful Land," in the earlier part of the service, while Mr. Mistele contributed a very suitable \solo, "Some Day" after the sermon. Successful Garden Party Aberdeen and neighborhood was the centre of interest for miles around on pFriday evening last, The night was a little chilly, but hearts were warm, proâ€" vision wasample for the inner man, and the Red Cross cause was worthy, so "they‘"" came in large numbers, bringing a gate of $85 and proceeds from all sourâ€" ces mounting up.to $165.00. There was a long program, but Mr. Jno. A. Graham was in charge and it was gone through with without a hitch Speeches were given by two returned soldiers, Major Nelson and Lieut. Pinkâ€" erton, who were in the battle of the Somme and they made vivid the story of that inferno. _ They intend returning beâ€" fore long. Speeches were also given by Dr. Jamieson, M.P. P. and by Messrs Don. McLean and J. Rowland from Walkâ€" erton, friends of Miss McGarrity, the teacher, who, herself added to the proâ€" gram some appropriate remarks. Mr Rowland was strong on conscription and all the speeches had a patriotic ring. Of music, vocal and instrumental there was a fine supply. Mr Allan Bell gave a solo and the Durham Methodist quartette gave freely of their talent. A treat of the evening was the performance on violin and piccolo respectively by Mesers R Lawson and F. Runciman, and altogether there wasn‘t a dull minute though 12 o‘clock was reached and more before it was ended.
