SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORK.

+ A meeting of Sunday School teachers was held in the V.M.C.A. rooms on Thursday evening, some twenty delegates from various Sunday Schools being in attendance. Mr. E. M. Ryan occupied the chair. The purpose of the meeting was to v discuss the question of how the schools could best retain their older boys, instead of losing them, as was found to be so frequently the case, and, further, how to get hold of boys who did not attend any Sunday Schools or Bible classes. One suggestion thrown out was in the shape of holding meetings on Sundays for boys only, but the proposal that appealed most favourably to the meeting was that of forming a Boys' Department in every Sunday School. The upshot of the meeting was the passing ot a resolution — "That each delegate report the nature of this meeting to the respective Sunday Schools, and that every effort should be put forth in forming a Boys' Department in connection with the schools which delegates represent." Another meeting is to be called on 13th December, at 8 p.m., when it is anticipated that some definite step vill be taken to reach the boys referred to.
