My ers informed the Convention that Dr. Sum mers wss preparing a catechism on the New Testainriit, similar to that he has prepared ou the Old Testament. The report also re cotntnenda a selection of hyiuns, from the Sunday bchool hymns, to be gotten up in cheap form to suit iufant miniU, and that could be had at the low price of three ceuu. No serious loss would then be so.-tcmed, and it would be no tax upon me iuuus ui .ue Sunday School Society, if such book was lou or damaged. Tl.e report recommends I ... e i . ..e .... several chances in the arrangement of cl is se, the distribution of book, rewards of merit, and modes of eol'edioo. In respcet to sinking, the committee report that, while th ev deem it advisable tbat children be taught to sing, and believe that singing is an important part of the school leason, tbey nevertheless do not consider it expedient that it should be taught aa a science, so as to interfere with thai regular studies, Rev. E. II. Myer. wished that part of tbe report amended. Ha beli 'ved.ill their peo ple should be taught to sing. He believed that one very important means to make tbe Sabbath School Attractive was to get a good siuger to It. lie believed tbst tbe waut of interest in Sabbath schools was from the fact that tbey set A, U, C, in tesebing escb six pupils, aud going through a general rou tine of questions and answers, while there was too little of that which interests all the school. His plan would bo to put Super intendent at tbe bead of it, who was not al ways willing to walk tbe same routine. Let tim le able .'a sing bimsolf, t'i's' ' ' cheerful with all the pupils; ttvi,.',7LviJ2 times day spending, half hour in singing. Suppose the Superintendent to say come, boys and girls, we are going to find out all we can a bo-it Abraham, about Moses, Dan iel in the lions' den ; and says to them what can you tell about this and that point ; with a view to all answering, now and then let hiui taks the Lord's prayer, the creed, and go through such exorcises as that for half an hour, would it not have interest and be mora attractive ? I IV believed that, instead of having so many sermons, they should de vote an hour a day to Sabbath Schools, an afttruoou hour where possible, aud bring tbe young aud old members together; put tbe pnajher in, give him s Bible class with grand fathers and grand mothers. Jt' they aculd h'jvethe hole community interested. They would build up the church, and ad vance the interests of Christianity better than it could be done in the snme time from tbe pulpit. In Augusts, three years ago, they abandoned tlm afternoon service, dovoting the same time to the Suuday School. About that time they bsd one hundred and fifty scholars: now they hnd between seven and eight hundred. '1 he Methodists were abso lutely taking that town. Tbey have built up two churches and are building another. Tbey have the house crowded.

Mng.og wa. one of the principal exerut.es and he did uos.whil.t .-...jtbin? should be .neorpo- rated in the report that would eveu look like a prohibition. Mr. T. J. Warreu said be agreed entirely with Ir. Myers. They did not want iu the Sabbath School, sny scientilic music, teach er.., but tbry wanted to create a love among 'be children, for tho habit of singing. At times when it was found d.fficult for tbe adults of the cougregatnu to set a tune, the ; "I'i ot tne rnuuay oeuooi scholars was louna la De ol J?11 unporiauce. it was impor- tant that the people should be educated in 'oging and in a sort ot matter of course WJ Sunday Sohool, so that tbey could belp to swell the anthem of praise that goes P 11 u, 01 iuecouiiarj ; ' ..u-ruw. uevoi. .o tbe iind..

He jimsclf as a Sunday School teacher had tbe pleasure of having charge of a clas of young ladies, who took s prido i singing, and who, he would himself aay, were as owect singeis as could be found ia the State, M r.

Mr. Myers spoke further as to tbe value of the works, the time required to master them aud the knowledge gaiued in their study. Kev.
