Adjournment of the ConvcHlioii.

AFTERNOON SKSSION.

The Couvention was called to order at two o'clock by President Cheever, and after some little preliminary talk of a general character, Chas. T. Coffin introduced the topic for the afternoon, "Sunday School Libraries and Literature." He said, when he was notified of his ap pointinent to discuss this .subject, he felt complimented to think it was supposed lie. could make such a dry subject interesting. Nevertheless, it was one of much importance, and must receive the sooer, serious consideration of the Convention.

The libraries of most of our schools are filled with a class of books whose influence is directly the opposite of that desired, or of good. Many of the books contain silly over-wrought stories of the most improbable nature, many of the characters are so overdrawn that cliil dren, real human children, could never be made like them, and the order or exhortation for such could only be filled in Heaven. The reading of such works begets a taste for the wrong class of reading, and it is only a very slight transit, easily made, to fictitious reading of a most injurious kind. Mr. Coffin favored the purchase of more valuable books, such as would meet the wants of the older scholars, or even the members of the church, histories, biographies, and standard literature.

For mission schools and teaching, he •was in favor of a complete abandonment of libraries, the transient character of the school and its pupils.

The literature he thought much affected in the same manner as the books, but as a general thing the papers were much freer from objectiouable matter than the libraries, they having to pass the close scrutiny of vigilant committees. Papers are missives, too, that reach all the families or parents of the children and in many instances the parents send the children to school to get, and for the sake of the papers. He had found good papers a strong agent in procuring the attendance of the children, and recommended their supplanting libraries to a great extent.

Music is a means most efficient in procuring attendance but you must guard against tho danger of turning your schools into singing societies. Use music judiciously, select it with care, and by personal effort of every teacher, officer and Superintendent make the school interesting and attractive.

He was followed by J. L. A. Perrin, Prof. Foote, Capt. Potter, Mr. Turner, W. B. Jacobs, Mr. Munhall, J. \V. iiaton, Rev. J. H. Lozier, J. D. Carmichael, D. T. Williams, Rev. Jas. Hill and President Cheever.

J. V. H. Smith made the general report of the work of the Sunday School Union, throughout the State for the past year, as follows Number of schools reported. 2/5

Teachers enrolled 5,500 Scholars 51,000 Conversions from Sunday

School during this year 1,375

Number of volumes in Libraries 50,000

At this point an attempt was made to get in some statements in reference to finances, and an intimation that a collection might be taken up in the evening, which brought R. S. Tennant, Chairman of the Local Finance Committee, to his feet in an instant, with the emphatic announcement that Torre Haute claimed the privilege of paying the bills of this Convention. [Applauded.]

Hon. Robt. Morris made some valedictory remarks, complimenting the officers and members of the Association, bid them an earnest "God speed," and closed his remarks by rehearsing a beautiful poem entitled, "For Jesus' Sake."

A dispatch was read from Dr. Heckman, stating he had missed connection, and ou that account could not be present.

Prof. Foote made several selections from "The Charm," a new Sunday School book he is seeking to introduce, and gave a musical reading, Ac.

The "Question Drawer" was then opened and found to contain a large number of interesting questions, which, ou motion, the President answered in a very instructive and happy manner.

Rev. E. F. Howe, of this city, opened the topic of "Children and Youth's Prayer Meetings" by saying that he regarded these meetings as desirable, because the children and youths need tho spiritual influence of meeting as much as older people. They are desirable also as training places for the general prayer meetings of the church. The question, how to conduct these meetings was a' difficult one to answer. This must depend upon the skill of the oue who has

the management of them. It will require constant effort to keep them out of of ruts.

His remarks were

much interest,

and spectators, who

best interests of the

listened to with

and made a deep impres

sion on tho member

of the Convention

have at heart the

children and young

people of the land. The next exercise was

the

"Model

Teaching of an Infant Class," by Mrs. Chas. Coffin,

of Richmond.

She said

she did not come to teach a model lesson, but a real one, and asked the earnest prayers

ail present to aid. She said

hers was the popular method of teaching, but it was her own. The children and the entire, vast audience gave her the closest attention, and tlie latter listened to the words of this noble woman with profound interest. he taught them a beautiful lesson in an attractive way, using the flowers on the stand and- objects at her command for that purpose.

At the close she made an earnest and eloquent appeal to the women in the church to arise and enter at once upon the great work of saving souls which they had too long neglected, and closed by prayer, when the Convention took a recess until 8 P. M.

CHILDREN'S MEETING.

At the appointed hour (half-past six) in the afternoon Dowling's beautiful and commodious hall, the use of which was donated for that purpose by that most liberal gentleman, was filled to overflowing with young and old. Professors Foote and Paige led in singing several beautiful selections, at the close of which Rev. F. F. Howe addressed the Throne of Grace on behalf of the young, and the Sunday School cause generally.

Mr. L. W. Munhall, of Indianapolis, then addressed the meeting in a very effective and eloquent, though practical manner. The children then, under the direction of Profs. Foote, and Paige, rendered another appropriate selection in an excellent style, when Mrs. Coffin arose and addressed the children in that quiet, 'though forcible style peculiar to her, with most flattering results for the advancement of the best interest of those addressed, at the closeof which the meeting adjourned.

AN OPEN AIR MEETING

was held on the corner of Sixth and Main, at 7 P. M., which attracted alarge attendance, all present manifesting the deepest interest in the exercises.

After singing and prayer, Messrs. Jacobs, Evans and Carter addressed the meeting with the most flattering success. The meeting lasted some half or three quarters of an hour, when it was dismissed with singing and the benediction, and the audience almost in a body as did the children's meeting, repaired to the Congregational Church, where was held the last and

EVENING SESSION

of the Convention, filling that structure to its utmost capacity, President Cheever in the Chair.

The exercises of the evening were opened with the rending of an appropriate selection by the choir, in good style, after which Chas. F. Coffin, of Richmond, led in prayer, and Joseph Mosser, of Salem, Illinois, was introduced to the meeting as representing the Illinois State Sunday School Convention, recently held at Galesburg, In that State, and which he said was attended by over fifteen hundred delegates.

Mr. Mosser made a very interesting address of greeting to the S. S. S. C. of Indiana in behalf of the S. S. S. C. of Illinois, in the course of his remarks stating that every county in his State except six have county Sunday School organizations, and many of them have organization in every township, quoting from the report of the Statistical Secretary as proof of his assertion, and closed by saying: We of Illinois, greet you Sunday School workers of Indiana, and may the Lord bless you in this great work may it grow and increase until every child in Indiana may be brought under Sabbath School instruction. [Applause.]

President Cheever responded, addressing Mr. Morris, by saying "We are lad to see and hear, you, from the great State of Illinois. The State of Illinois is the best organized State in the Union for Sunday school work. [Applause.] We congratulate you in the name and strength of God. [Voice, amen.]

Under the direction of Prof. Foote the immense audience then sang, "Blessed be the tie that binds," with great animation, Prof. Kilbourne presiding at the organ, after which M. A. Evans, of Fort Wayne, led in prayer in behalf of Illinois, and the immense audience sang, "Be Not Weary in Well Doing," which was rendered in grand style by the assembled hundreds, at the close of which Mr. Jacobs offered resolutions of thanks to President Cheever, as presiding officer to the Christian people of Terre Haute, for their kind hospitality tojthe pastor and people of the Firsi Congregational Church, for the free use of their structure to Mr. Thos. Dowling, for the free use of his hall to Miss Fannie Cruft, Miss Clara Warren, Miss Mary Innis and Mrs. Major B. Hudson, for the beautiful flowers and plants, so artistically arranged around the pulpit to Professors Foote,Kilbourne and Paige, and the local musical talent of Terre Haute, who volunteered their services in rendering songs of praise to the Railroad Secretary, to the Recording Secretary and Assistant to the fourteen railroads of the State, who granted return "dead heads" to the members of the Convention to the "press" of Terre Haute for many and oft repeated favors, both before and during the sessions of the Convention.

On topics the committee reported their opinion, commended object of teaching "to the Superintendents aud teachers of the State," that every church member and parent should be connected with the Sunday School, commended the follow*

ing words of their Bro. Hunter, that "The art of questioning consists in asking such questions and in such way as will lead the children to think."

It was resolved that \V. M. Cheever, and A. S. Evans be appointed a committee to convey the greetingof the I. S. S. S. C. to the National S. S. C. to meet in Indianapolis next May, that Gibson county Sabbath School Union have given the Convention a practical object lesson worthy of imitation. Chaplain Lozier then offered a resolution as follows:

Resolved,

ThRt the Executive Commit

tee be instructed to select a suitable person in each county in the State, as a County Statistical Secretary, whose duty it shall be to compile and report to the Vice Presidents of their respective districts full statistics of all Sunday Schools in their respective counties, as per form adopted by this Union that the Vice Presidents be instructed to submit to the Convention condensed statistical reports giving the name of the county the name ot the Statistical Secretary number of officers and teachers enrolled number enrolled in infant classes number in Biblo classes number of scholars who have made a profession ot religion during the year volumes in library papers and pamphlets distributed amount of benevolent contributions that the Corresponding Secretary be instructed to prepsent at each annual meeting, a summary of these reports, showing the whole work of the schools throughout the State during each year. Adopted.

Mr. R. S. Tennant, of this city, then arose and in substance said: REMARKS OF MR. TENNANT.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: It seems to me there is an element in this Convention that has only been partially represented during the different sessions of this Convention. During the time our brethren and sisters from a distance have been transacting the business of the Convention, they have sat quietly by and listened to what they have had to say.

When a dearly loved friend—one around whom every affection of our natures, aud of our hearts, cling with the tenacity of life itself—comes to our home, we entertain him, and when he leaves we experience feelings of sadness and regret. You, delegates representing the great Sunday School cause of thi3 great and prosperous State of Indiana, are our friends, and to-night you go away from our house. The youug people of this, uor own beautiful city of Terre Haute, who are engaged in the great Sunday School work, extend you an earnest God speed in the work that lies before you. [Applause.] If while here you have not received proper intention, it has beeu from lack of ability or from mistake, aud not from lack of attention or proper feeling in our hearts. And if any of you have not received that kind attention you should have had extended you, we ask that it not be brought up against us, for you are all welcome here. Remember us kindly as co-laborers in the great Sunday School cause, and may God bless you one and ail. [Voice, amen.]

Mr. Coffin then arose and said he believed he understood the feeling of every delegate present, and speaking for them, one and all, he would say, all our hearts are full, and we leave you, citizens of Terre Haute, with feeling of the warmest affection and regard. I don't know of anything that you could have done to have made our stay here more pleasant than it has been, and we will all look to the moments spent in your beautiful and prosperous city, as the happiest of our lives. [Applause.]

Mr. C. continued his remarks at some length, expressing the warmest appreciation of the hospitality of our city in behalf of the Convention, in which he was warmly applauded.

Rev. J. Q. H. Perrin, of LaFayette, then arose, and presuming that LaFayette would have the honor of the next S. S. S. C., invited all present.

John D. Carter, a wealthy old farmer, from Moorsville, then arose and addressed the Convention on the importance of looking after the physical and earthly needs of the young, as well as their spiritual needs, which were the most practical remarks made during the evening.

E. F. Howe then led in prayer in behalf of the last speech, at the request of the President.

After remarks by a Mr. Jenckes, which we could not hear at the reporter's table, the President announced that Mrs. Coffin would address the ladies present, when after the rendering of that soul-inspiring piece, "Hold the Fort," by the assemblage, led by Prof. Foote, in grand style, Mrs. Coffin was then introduced, and made a lengthy speech, a part of which we will give in substance

REMARKS

MRS. COFFIN.

DEAR SISTEHS: It is to you I would speak this eve'^ug it is for you that I come before this audience. The words which I shall present to you are embraced in that motto, [designating the motto on the wall of the chnrch,] "Go Work in my Vineyard." It was a command of our blessed Savior. It was not given to man exclusively, it was given to women. Women were the faithful followers of our Jesus, When He was upon the earth women ministered to the Savior, and were the last to leave him, and the first at the sepulcher it was a woman who carried the glad tidings to man, that Jesus had risen from the sepulcher. If the world is ever brought to Christ Jesus, it must be through the aid of women. Men are doing what they can, but they, unaided by women, cannot accomplish the work. Why should we stand back,fold our hands and sit idly by waiting for some greater work to do? God has given us the glorious privilege of engaging in that highest work—of bringing souls into the garr.s

B^haa given us loving hearts and powerhot only to love our own children, but our neighbors' children to love our husbands, brothers and fathers not only, but the brothers, fathers and husbands of others. Such are our powers. What are you doing to rescue those souls? In the measure that we have, such powers will our responsibility be.:

TERRE HAUTE, IND.. FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 16, 1871

The speaker continued at great length, detailing her own feelings upon first starting out in the good work said she was the mother of six children, and yet always found time and place to speak a good word for Jesus, even when ou a sick bed. She said women could all find time to work in the vine yard of the Lord, though they did have a dozen or twenty children, and closed her very interesting remarks by making a powerful appeal to the women present to "work in the vineyard of the Lord."

Her remarks throughout were listened to with the closest attention. President Cheever, and Miss Sexton, of Rushville, made a few remarks, as did several others. "How goes the battle." was sung with great force, when, after the offering of a resolution to the effect that the Convention enter the field for the ensuing year with increased energy, by Rev. J. E. Fisher, of Kendalville, which was adopted, "Sailing into port," was rendered in grand style, the solo by Prof. Foote, and the audience joining in the grand chorus. The Convention, after singing. "Praise God from whom all blessings How,", with great animation, adjourned.

PARIS, June 15.—The Republican journals express their joy that the clerical members of the Bourbon family have exposed their hand, and all of them urge the electors to reject all candidates for the Assembly whose platform is vague or ambiguous. It is said the Duke de Cbartiss will assist at the review of 100,000 troops to be held in the Champs de Mars on Sunday.

An average of tweuty-four thousand persons arrive in Paris daily by the northern and western railroads.

The Gaulois states that the fusion the Orleanists and legitimatists is complete.

Paris journals says the eastern railroad is daily crowded with Germans returning to their homes, and laden with plunder.

Persons arrived from Paris have not been told of the trouble in that city,' aud the destruction of life and property immensely exceeds both goverment and newspaper accounts. The workmen of Paris are almost unanimously Communists. They are very bitter because their cause has been defeated, and hate both Thiers and Bonaparte. Many of them will emigrate to America.

WASHINGTON, June 16.—In the office of the Fifth Auditor Mrs. Helen Goodwin", of New York, Mrs. Susan O. Sullivan, of Massachusetts, and Miss J. E.

PHILADELPHIA, June 16.—The Convention yesterday, to nominate a Coroner, after stating proceedings, was finally broken up by a large number of outsiders breaking into the hall. The sixth ballot was taken at the time. J. G. L. Brown, an attachee of Col. Forney's Press, had received nearly enough votes to secure the nomination, with one ward to vote, which, it is said would have decided in his favor. The rowdies dispersed the delegates and destroyed the records, so that the Executive Committee will have to decide who shall receive the nomination. There were plenty of broken heads, but no shots were fired, and no one seriously injured. Most of the Republican newspapers speak of the ticket formed Wednesday with disapprobation, and predict its defeat at the fall election.

CHICAGO, Juuc 16.—The largest number of accused criminals ever brought before a court in this city, on arraignment day, were arraigned before the Criminal Court yesterday morning. The number was ninety-one.

The people of Duluth, by vigorous efforts, have completed their canal through Union Point, and have a channel sixteen feet deep, in despite of the injunction granted by United States Judge Miller, at Topeka, Kansas, about the formal service of which there was some delay. The canal has so lowered the water at Superior, the mouth of St. Louis river, that boats which had run in there for the past seventeen years^arenow unable to enter.
