SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.

The monthly committee meeting was held on Monday evening in the Board room of the Young Men's Christian Association, the president in the chair. The following schools were represented:—St. Andrew's and St. Paul's Presbyterian, Oxford Terrace Baptist, Cambridge Terrace Primitive Methodist, Bingeland, St. Asaph street and Colombo road United Methodist Free Churches, Durham street and Crescent road Wesleyan, Manchester street, Phillipstown, and Ferry read Congregational. In reference to the anniversary services, held on the last Sunday in the old year, several delegates expressed regret at the short notices given to the schools, and it was resolved that the arrangements for the services be made at the November meeting in future, so as to obviate the delay. A letter was read from Mr H. Waters, trade seoretary and treasurer, stating his inability to attend owing to serious illness, and also stating the extent to which the work of his department has grown. Several members spoke, expressingtheirdeepsympathy with Mr Waters, and their high appreciation of his services as trade secretary, which appointment he has held since the formation of the Union. The secretary was instructed to convey the sympathy of the meeting to him, with their best wisheß for his speedy recovery. A committee was also appointed to consider the whole question of the secretary's work and the trade department, to report next month. Preliminary arrangements were made for the annual meeting, of which due notice will be given. The nomination of officers for the ensuing year was closed. The question of the centenary celebration was postponed to next meeting, to take precedence of the new business. The following notice of motion was given as an addition to Rule 4 : " Whereas, on account of distance, it is not convenient for schools to send delegates, they may appoint members of the Union living within a convenient distance to represent them." The meeting was opened and closed with prayer.
