The annual three days' state con- wention of the Connecticut State Sun- day School association opened at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon in the Cen- tral Baptist church with an attend- ance of nearly 500. Delegates were seated by counties and cards at various points about the edifice located the dif- ferent county divisions. Cards bearing Sunday school statistics were display- ed about the walls. President S. H. Williams presided at the sesslon. Two large American flags were suspended from the choir loft and there were bou- quets of chrysanthemums on the plat- form. b The convention opened with a brief song service led by Rev, Louis H. XKoehier of Hartford. Prayer was offer- ed by Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., pastor of the church. The first address was by Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner of Chi- cago who spoke on the Challenge of Boyhood and Girlhood. In the course of her address Mrs. Bryner stated that one child in six in this country has Bible training while in Asia one in every 718 has this education and in South America even a smaller propor- tion. The speaker discouraged the practice of teaching children not to do things, urging a training of active accomplishment as much preferable. Bible Lectures, The first of a series of half hour RBible lectures by Rev. Rockwell Har- mon Potter, D. D, pastor of Center Congregational church, of Hartford, followed. Rev. Mr, Potter took his text from John 1-29. He explained that his course of lectures was to be of a dif- ferent nature from anything else in the convention programme in that the half hours devoted to him would be periods of meditation and family prayer. I will seek to review, he said, the essen- tials of our common faith that as we meditate we may acquire a clearer consciousness of our Christian rela- tions. By essential I mean that atti- tude of mind and heart without which one cannot be a Christian. This at- titude requires faith in Jesus Christ as a historic person, as a great cause in history and as a spiritual presence. Peter, Andrew, James and John be- came Christians when they came to know Christ as a friend. The begin- ning of any Christian’s faith is when he becomes the friend of Jesus Christ. That is how our children know him; not as the august presence at the right hand of God Almighty. not as the hero, not in the awful passion of the cross, but as the kind Joving Jesus, a friend- ly presence which leads to eternal life. As in the disciples the attitude of friendship and love becomes an at- titude of reverence and obedience when we find the imperative command in his voice. If one would be friends with Jesus he must obey or the friendship will be broken.! He becamesthe Lord of the disciples when he took them up to the mountain top and disclosed to them their God. The child may feel the friendship of Christ, the boy the command of the Master, but some time up on the mountain peak or even in the deepest, darkest valiey the Lord will disclose himself to His disciples. The faith essential to a Christian life then includes the friendship, cbedience and reverence of Jesus. The Challenge of Youth, Following the singing of a hyma Rev. Milton S. Littlefleld of Brooklyn, N. Y. spoke on The Challenge of Youth. Youth, he said, is that period between the boy and the man. It takes ten years to.make a hoy into a man and nearly as lomg to change a girl into e woman. The change as regards growth is a slow one, as to size a qQuick ome. A growing boy is on “fool hill” even as you and I were once and he will come down safely as you did if be has the one essential—a friend. The growing boy has a high ambition—he wants to be a man. If he makes awkward attempts at smok- ing and swearing he does it from a fine sentiment. He tries to fulfill. his vi- sion of manhood and this ambition is the challenge of youth to us. We can- not take away his ideal without sup- plving another and this I am glad we | can do. Youth Is Period of Discovering. Youth is a period of discovering and adjustment of life. Foundations of new life are being made by the individual and the question is to strike a paral- lel between the lines of assertion of self and adjustment. The teaching process is one of incarnation—we must crawl into their.lives. It daoesn’t make much difference what you do for a boy, but it makes all the difference in " the world what you do with: a boy. Games are an index to what we are and there are three periods in the boy's development — individualistic, competitive and team work periods, Team work or social work requires #kill and the dedication of that skill | to the team. When the boy has a self worthy of dedication he dedicates it ta the others, to the team. The boy takes the same daring risks éthically that he does physically and there is no dan- ger if—he has a true friend, a teacher, each regarding the other seriousiy. The glamour of gouth will wear away don’t tear it away, though we never reach the visions we see. Robert | PBrowning says: “A ma reach must | exceed his grasp or wha a heaven far?’ On the truth presented when vouth cresses the line of adolesecence depends the future. What truth shall the church give to answer the chal- lenge of youth? What we want are ! life studies—full length pictures of real heroes.

Jesus as a Teacher, Following a selection by the ehurch choir, Prof. Norman E. Richardsen of Boston gave a fine address on Jesus as a Teacher.. The ideal teacher, he said, has a passion- and reverence for the truth. He is eager to be master of that which he teaches. Human nature makes a profeund appeal to him; he is eager to know the problems of his pupils, to feel their needs and their | highest possibilities. His must be an atfitude of intelligent understanding and love. He must know the deep ideas and habits of his pupils, see! their abilities, and then work to attain the highest possibilities in them. He then discovers that he must learn the method of taking the truth and placing | it into the young life so that it will flourish. He must have the art of illustration, the power of clear pres- entation. The ideal teacher will pay the price -of mastering method, Final- ly and unconsciously the teacher comes to be like the truth “which he seeks to teach until his teaching becomes the overflow of a rich mind, not the me- chanical reproduction of a printed page. The truth comes to be a part of | himself and his own life and charaeter | are transformed and beautified by the | visfon of high ideals. It is personality which makes truth live and brings it where it quickens life. To his contemporaries, Christ was essentially a techer. He had the in- stinct of a teacher. Jesus brushed aside ceremony and taught by the spoken word, His was an educative ministry. He looked forward to the time when man would worship God not in the temple at Jerusalem, but in the epirit. Christ introduced himself to the people .aleng the line which would be the nearest im the minds of the peaple. We get An impertant lesson for o= S&SBAIs in that Christ got | man, come from God.

Bear Burdens of Others. There were certain moral difficulties | which prevented the disciples from taking the truth which Christ present- ed. His aim was to reveal the truth and to accomplish this he found it essential to remove sin. Man in sin had difficulty in appropriating the| truth, so Christ took the burden of the sin of the world, that it might not be in the way of the world in finding the truth. Here is the deepest teaching of Christ as a teacher. It is one thing to teach so that the pupil will under- stand, but it is another to take the burden which bars the pupil from the truth and bear it. As a Christian| teacher one’s duty is to take and carry | the burden, not only of sgnorance, but | of immorality, until the pupil finds the| truth. The beauty of Christ's teaching was| in the perfect balance of the four qualities. 1e did not emphasize his! on for truth, or they would have| ed him a philosopher: he did not emphasize his human interest, or they would have pamed him a philanthrop- ist; he did not emphasize his tech- nique of teaching, or they would have called him a man of letters; he did not| emphasize his fine grasp of the truth, or he would have come down as the supreme egotist. He was not a phil- osopher, philanthropist, man of letters or egotist, but the great teacher of A duet, Love Divine. was finely ren- dered 1y tieorge A. Turner and Mrs. | Grace Aldrich-Crowell.

St. John of Hart- ford gave an interesting address on The Development of Religious Instruc- tion in the American Suncay schcol. The Sunday school, he said, originated outside the chureh, and did not gain favor with the church for some time. The early religious instruction In the| Sunday school was not at all suited to! the needs of the. children, and the speaker traced thie gradual improve- ment up to the present ‘time. His ad- dress was illustrated with stereopticon pletures, and he showed pages from early books used in the Sunday sclool. There was an attendance of about 700 at the evening session, and up to 9 o'clock 300 delegates had deposited credentials with the commititee.
