So wrote Thomas Moore concerr ing Toronto. denominated by Can, dians. Of this beautiful and well goi erned city, I had often heard and reat t, note her princely palaces, to enjo her varied attractions, to worship i her stately churches, to mingle wit her lovely people-this scribe had i( n}any moons been longing. And so we set our face toward Toranto, with goodly and congeni; company. to attend the great Intei national Sunday School conventioi which was to be held June 23-27. Mais, pardonez, if I had you i obeyance, reader, for the nonce 'cht I may tell you something of the tri except that I will say that the cot vention met the expectation of th most sanguine and those who ha never attended, its like before suffere no disappointment. How otherwis when planned for, and worked fo and prayed for, by the mighty arm of earnest co-workers over land an sea, and almost throughout the glob' As a convention it reached the cl max as to attendance, very near 2,0c delegates having registered. and venture to say it was fraught with blessing for every intelligent deli gate and interested visitor. Our journey was made under fi vorable conditions. Some of the ele< of the earth, at least this big slice c it which we regard so great-our ow state-had expressed a wish to go an so our representative capacity of 3 was in evidence, credentials in hand and right honorably, too, did the serve us. In view of diverging lines it wa deemed wise not to attempt mobil zation nearer than Norfolk or Bait more, and so several groups wer for ,ied from several starting point which later on were consolidated.

But the scene changes. "A new pic s :ure we show to you mentally. A storm at sea!
