Tlif 'riiirtct'iitli Session of IlicScliool
\v;i> ln-ou^ht to ail I'lid witli tlif usual
i-losiiijr cxciciscs on Friday, April 2()th,
1S)(>7. In till- inorninjj the stiultMits met
for tlu'ir linal dfvotional service. In the
afternoon at I o'clock was held the
Annual Meeting of tlu' Hoard of Incoi"
li«)iiiti(»n and tlu* (Jeneral Coiuicil. when
the various reports of the yearwi-re prt--
sentt'd and plans for the future work of
the School were considered. At the
c-lo.se of this meeting th^^eiuhers pic-
sent jidjourned to the ReadiniX Room,
where, on the kind invitation of the
President, they had dinner toK»'tlu'r.

The puhlic meeting ill the eveninjj: was
attended by a large gathering of the
friends of .the School, which occupied
every part of the Assembly Hall. The
Rev. F. S. Weston conducted the open-
ing devotional exercises; and the Chair-
man, Dr. Harris, gave a summary of the
main featiues of the work of the session,
i-efeiring espenjally to the increased in-
tei-est in the Day Classes, and the good
work done by the students in their mis-
sion study classes. The graduating
class was represented on the piogramme
by two of its menibeis. Mr. Percival
Loney gave an earnest addre.ss on the
death of our Lord, representing it as
"The Darkest Hour in Hi.story." Miss
Flora .). Ray ga\ e a very ai)propriate
valedictory, in which she i>ortrayed with
true appreciation the real characteris-
tics of the student life of the School.
Tlie Diplonuis and Certificates weri' then
I)resented as follows : Eleven students
received Diplomas for having satisfac-
torily completed the two year.s' cour.se
in the Day Classes, viz.: Mis.ses Annie
Rartlett, .Jennie Dale, Clara S. Donnn,
Sarah Flasletl. .Mary R. McCormick,
Flora .1. Ray, Fmily M. Tyler, ami
Messrs. R. E. Jones, P. R. Loney, S. C.
Rutledge and (ieorge TesUn-. Two
former graduates. Miss M. (J. Le.s.slieand
Mr. H. L. Troyer, received special dip-
lomas for an additional year of post-
graduate study. Five .students received
certificates for the three years' course in
th«' Evening Cla.s.ses, viz.: Mi.s.ses M.
Jennings, M. I. McCauley, (i. .Smith and
E. St. John, and Mr. Frank West lake.

A few fai'cwell words were then spoken
to these stvidenls by the Piincipal, who
urged them "to follow on to know the
Lord."

The two main addresses of tin' evening
were delivered by the Rev. Dr. McTavish
of Toronto, and the Rev. .To.seph Sulli-
van of Rrantford. Dr. McTavish made
an earnest ai)peal for consecrated ser-
vice, and Mr. Sullivan gave a .stirring
address on the importance of Bible
study, and thus a most ijiteresting meet-
ing was bi'ought to a clo.st'.

The one regret felt during the proceed-
ings of the day Wiis cjiused by the
absence of the revei-ed and beloved Di'.
Stewart. As explained in another pai't
of this paper, he had been taken ill just
befoie the close of the session, and was
unable to attx'nd tiny of the meetings of
this day. His presence was especially
mi.s.sed from the platform at the closing
meeting, for every year since the begin-
ning of the School he. had presented the
graduating class and addres.sed them in
))aiting words of counsel.

Report ot the Principal.

In icviewing the past session, the first
note must be one of thanksgiving. For
although the work has been carried on
at some disadvantage on account of the
illness and ab.sence of the President for
a great part of the time, yet it nuiy be
truly said that under the good hand of
(iod the Hible Training School closes
to-day a very successful year.

enr()l:\U':nt .vnd .xttendance.

The number of students enrolled dur-
ing the year in the Day Classes was Iki
(SI men and 35 women), representing 12
denominations. This nund)er is the
same as last year and indicates no in-
crease. Tin' average attendance, how-
ever, which is a truer test of the jnogi-ess
of tin- School, shows a marked advance.
The daily attendance of .students taking
the regular course during the latter half
of the session was largei- than at any
previous ])eriod in the history of the
School.

The number eiuolled in the three
evening classes was 240 (73 men and 167

THE LIBHARY AND HEADING ROOM.

A considera ' le addition has been made
t<i tlif Library. Through the kindness
of Dr. Harris we have been enabled to
purchase a large munber of new and
important books, especially Biblical and
missionary works of refei-ence. In ad-
dition to this \\v would gratefully ac-
knowledge a valuable donation of l»ooks
fronj Mr. .1. D. Nasmith. Tluoe are now
altog«'tlier 1.2(HI vohunes in the Lilnary.

During the Chiistmas vacation llu'
Library was overhauled, a new cata-
logue was pi-epared, and the books were
classiti«'<l and arranged upon the shelves
in sections marked in such a way as to
guide the stiuh'Ut.s in their \ise of them.

The reading room has Iwen kept well
supplied with current religious ])eriodi-
<-als. We are again inilebted for this to

the liberality of Mrs. T. M. Harris. We
desire also to thank the Presbyterian
Board of S. S. Publications for their
kindness in voluntarily sending one of
their weekly pui)cis for the rcgidar use
of the reading room.

EVAN(JELISTIC AND .AriSSK (N AH V WOHK.

A word should be said abovit the prac-
tical work and sjiiritual lite of the stu-
dent l)(i(l\'. Tile two depai'tments of
piactical work carried on are repre-
sented by the Evangelistic Band and the
Missionary Society. The Evangelistic
Band has conducted Gospel meetiTigs
every week in one <jf the Missions of the
city, besides assisting in many other
services. This work has pi-oved of great
value as a tiaining for the students
themselves, and has been blessed in the
conversion of many lives to the Lord
Jesus Christ.

The Missionary Society has been very
active in fostering the missionary spirit
and in furtlu-ring the systematic study
of missions jiniong the students. A
I)ublic meeting, esi)ecially intended for
reaching young people with the mission-
aiy appeal, was held under its auspices,
and was accomjianied with every mark
of success and blessing. While all the
students take an active interest in both
the missionary and the evangelistic
work, theie aie fifteen who are volun-
teers for foreign missions.

In order to unify the various parts of
the life and work of the School, a repre-
sentative Conunittee was apjiointed by
the students at the beginning of the
session to act with the Piincipal in all
matteis relating to the student body as
a whole. This simple organization has
pi-oved satisfactory, and is intended to
be continued from year to year.

A beautiful spirit of harmony and
Christian fcllowshii) has charactt^-ized
the life of the School. Early in the
session an unusually deep spii-it of prayer
maidfested itself, the effect of which was
continued throughout the year. The
Tuesday morning devotional service
CDUtinues to be a soiuce of helpfulness
to the si)iritual life of the students. On
the whole, the uninterrupted blessing

Report of Rev. Dr. Stewart.

Duiiiij; this session of iSMMi-dT, I ha\f
iM'on enabled, without the loss of a .sinj^Ie
hour, to attend to my duties iu tin- liihle
Training School, it is with gratitude
to (Jod for His goodness that this record
is UKide. My work has been the instruc-
tion of the Day Classes in Bible Doc-
trint's, in the Life and Ministry of I'aid.
in Hil>le Headings, and in the interpre-
tation of DitWeult Pas.siiges in the Nt'W
Testament. In the absence of Dr. Har-
ris, I also gave to the EvcMiing Classes
foin- lectin-es on Methods of Bible Study.
The conduct of the students has bet'U
exemplaiy, their inteiest in the studies
has been marked and the progress made
by them has been (juite gratifying. It
has been a gi-eat joy to me to gather
with these earne.st yoinig Christians
ai'oinid the \\'oixl «)f God day by day, in
honest, patient and prayerful .study.

I have al.so had continuous duties to
perform as Secietary of the School.
Fii-st of all, there is the W(fik incident to
the .iniMial meeting, and the nu'etings
of the Board of Incorporation. Then
there is a large correspondence re<|uired
in reminding the fri«'nds of the School
of its ne»'ds, and in seeking to secure
new friends, who will have fellow.ship
with us in providing for its mainteii-
jinci'. There ar»' also not a few letters
from former stu«h'nts at home and
abroad whieh nuist receive, as indeed
they de.seivt'. kind and sym|>athetic
answei-s. Then last of all. there are not
only numei-ous re<piests for information
al»out the School from int«'nding stu-
ih'Uts, but als(» for advic«' alHiut Bilile

Dr. Stewart's Health.

On the morning of the day after he
wiote his short r»'port of service fur tin-
past year. Dr. St4'wart was .seized with
a light paralytic sti-oke. which affected
his left si<h', and from which he has with
the blessing of (iod In-en gra<lnally re-
covering. He is now .ible to walk aiiout
with condort, and attend to ordinary
dutii's. While it would be unwise for
him to a.ssume the steady lalnii-s of past
sessions, he yet hopes to continue his
work as Secretary of the Sch(»ol. anil
render such otlier .service as the l.K»rd
will. In the meantime the Board of
Incorj)oralion an<l .i Connnitt«'e of the
(leneral Coimcil are making the Im*s1 ar-
rang«'ments they can for the etiicient
instruction of all the clas.ses of the
.School.

Encouraging Testimonies.

I-'rom the Hev. T. B. Hyde, who gavi-
a much apprc-ciated course of lectures
last term, we have re<«'ived the follow-
ing note in regard to tin- u ork of the
class :

"I enjoyed my evenings with the stu-
«h*nts. and their papers on the whole in-
dicate tliat they got hold of the std»ject
very well. Some <>f tin- papers an- iv-
markal>ly full, and obtained fidl marks."

We miss«'d fi-oni the recent annual
meeting of the Board .-tnd Council one
of our fiist helpers in the work, the Ilev.

lows:
