I might easily divide this omise into three divisions, as each uld furnish easily a theme for the ter writer, but I must condense at e expense of a probable failure to ample justice to the several parts. ir eyes had feasted upon the shim !ring green of Ontario's stretch of tter, our ears had heard, like fall dewdrops, the hearty welcome of r Canadian brethern. our footsteps d been planted with, a certain sense security. upon a foreign soil. and were glad. with undisguised sin ritv, t' receive the hearty hand sp of fraternal greeting. \\e felt home, for we were among our ends. who honored the stars and ipes. though not less loyal to the iion Jack. We were at home be se the gracious welcome, disarmed doubt, as the Christian homes of a ristian people were thrown open to well-nigh two thousand delegates, sides visitors of almost equal num r. The prophecy was fulfilled and Toronto has added another star to r diadem of glory as a convention y. The management was success -there were committees in charge the different phases of entertain :nt and each worked within its -n sphere and without friction. All >ronto was eager and on tip-toe, for r experience in entertaining the 3rd. Lernational Sunday School conven n in 1881, with an attendance of r, only in-tensified her penchant for .ing care .of the ith. International rivention in 1905, .with its 2,ooo del ates.

May ths similarity cement us al ys and energize us to noble endeavor aally. The day meetings of the wvenfon.were hcld in the magnifi it Massey hal., with its seating ca :ity of nearly 4,000, and at every sion there was an.immense throng, the intensest interest was mani ted.. It was found- necessary to* Id twin-meetings in the evening. :ause of the greater attendance, and the handsome and capatious Mec >olitan Methodist church was used ~ularly each evening for addresses.: this church there is a magnificent ciphonal organ, one of the largest finest in the world. It is pre ed over by Dr. Torrington, and his an recitals were one of the special tures of the convention. I regard technique, the acme of perfec n., though I have no skilled know! e of such matters. The organ is so astructed thac the music is trans-: red at the -artist's will to the rear sweet and softer cadences. It was vonderful piece of work, I thought. the Massey hall; a trained choir of >voices, under the leadership of of. F. H. Jacobs, of -New York. illed the immense audience with isic of a very high order. "Saved -Grace" was touchingly rendered d was a great favorite. "My Lord d I". the song of the Hugenots, s sung by the leader. Prof. Jacobs. h great pathos. And there were iers. I'he keynote of the great conven n was "Winning a Generation," and the addresses which were in the in. strong and clear, had as the ima thule, the presentation of' at truths which may lead this gen tion out of its bondage. may I say. indifferenc:e to the highest 'ideals life, to a larger apprehension of at spiritual truth-s, and fuller devel ment into activ'e and more practi Chritianity.

Each of these three distinguished men regularly attend Sunday school, each being superintendent, one of a Pres byterian, another a Baptist and the third a Methodist. Each said they never knew what it was to be out of the Sunday school and that they counted it a great privilege and honor to serve as superintendents. Think of th.at and see if you can find a par allel in the states. What a splendid testimony to the fine religious spirit of the people. This same spirit was exemplified on Sunday when it would appear that everybody went to church and to Sunday school. for every church was crowded with grown peo ple. young people and children. And such singing at church and other ser vices I never heard before-everybody sang, or tried to do so, and it was beautiful beyond comparison. Toronto is noted for her many vir tues, but her greatest excellency is in her observance of the Lord's Day. No Sunday newspapers. no Sunday excursions, no Sunday base ball, no Sunday clubs open, no Sunday des ecrations. but nearly everybody in tent on worship. If there are temp tations to evil they are not conspic uous or alluring, so strong is the re ligious sentiment of the citizenship. In all our magnificent country I have never seen the like and it was re freshing. And such churches! so beautiful, of such exquisite architect ure, mostly Gothic. Piles of stone and brick, piles of brick and stone, with well-kept grounds and gardens, some with lovely flowers and shrub bery. Protestanism is largely in the as cendancy in Toronto. The conven tion heard with delight such men as Dr. Potts, Dr. Hammill, Dr. Schauffe ler, Dr. Hemphill, Dr. Atkins, Dr. Tyler, Bishop Vincent, Marion Law rance, Chairman Hartshorn, and they gave rapt attention to our own Dr. Scherer, who spoke ably and with fluenc~y upon the subject, "The duty of Young America to Young Japan." I was sitting close to Dr. Scherer, fac ing the mammoth audience, possibly ,,o0, who were entertained through out, and giving marked applause at te close of his address. Very fav >rable comment was passed upon Dr. Scherer'-s matter -and manner, and- I felt proud that he was from Newber ry and tihe commonwealth of South Carolina. The gifted Mrs. Bryner de livered a fine tall on "Our Neighbor, Mexico." Space forbids printing of :he program and so I can only refer o it. strongly ulrging every Sunday school teacher who has had the temeity to read this letter, to send to Marion Lawrance, general secretary, Toledo, Ohio, for a copy of the offi ial report, which will contain every address delivered and will cost che rifling sum. 5o cents post paid. This report will be styled "The Develop ment of the Sunday School 1800-1905." t will cont-ain 60o pages, with 300 illustrations and will be cloth bound. No lover of the Sunday school cause, who desires to keep abreast of the times can well afford not to buy this book. The book will be ready for mailing about the 1st. of September and roo,ooo copies will be printed. Another great feature of th.econven tion was the raising of $75.oo0 for the prosecution of the International work, and employment of other field work r. The giving was hearty and gen erous. The fine exhibit of Sunday school appliances and },terature, was the centre of great attraction, requir ing not only the entire ground floor of the gr.eat Massey Music hall, but the St. James Cathedral school house was also used -'for exhibits of maps, charte. Models. Samples of Manual \\ork. includ(ing a fine collection of '1(1 time Sunday school mraerial, rec rds.

Toronto is a great city of 250,000 persons. There are colleges. public buildings. parliament buildings, pub lic schools. well paved and lighted streets, excellent trolley car syscem, and other advantages upon which we cannot dwell. It has a water front of nine miles on Lake Ontario. And now we close, for though the subject is not exhausted the reader may be. A great convention, 'a great city, a great people. Adieu Toronto. but we hope to visit you again. Wm. E. Pelham. A Pleasant Occasion. The barbecue at Mr. W. P. Harris' on last Saturday was a pleasant affair. The dinner was well cooked and well served, and reflected credit upon all concerned. Recent good rains had put everyone in good 'spirits, and nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the occasion. The lean man and the fat man were there. The doctor and the farmer, the fisherman, the honored citizen of three score and ten, and the confederate veteran were there. The busy housewife had laid aside her care and toil and come out. By all means let the good women at tend the barbecue. They are fairly entitled to their share of everything that is best. Mr. Harris' twin daughters are just budding into womanhood and it was fitting that the public dinner should be made on their anniversary. It is well for the people of every community to meet together ocasion ally and talk and keep their friend ship in repair. X. Newberry, S. C. Advertised Letters.
