TICKETS, 6d. and 1s.; Reserved Seats, 2s., to be had from JOHN M'CALLUM & CO., 177-181 BUCHANAN STREET; J. COOPER, 35 EGLINTON STREET. This will be the only opportunity of hearing these gifted Singers, as they sail for New York on the day following. THE programme for these important meetings has just been issued by the Committee of the Paisley Union. It is accompanied with a very cordial invitation for the appointment of delegates. We earnestly trust there will be a hearty response from every important town in Scotland. It is not necessary that delegates be the accredited representatives of formally constituted Sabbath School Unions. There are many towns that have not such Unions, and it is not desirable to restrict the attendance to them. The Convention does not pretend to have any legislative authority, but when the conferences are well attended, when the subjects discussed are of a practical description, and when they are dealt with in a pointed manner by gentlemen of experience and enthusiasm, the influence for good of such a Convention cannot be over-estimated. The meetings are invariably of a most enjoyable nature; and, while those in attendance receive the first benefit, they are certain to carry away with them valuable information, and new resolutions to be more determined and faithful in the prosecution of this department of Christian work. While formal commissions or certificates of appointment are not required from delegates, it is yet necessary that the Paisley Committee be supplied with the names and addresses of all who propose to be present from a distance, as they have kindly arranged to provide for the accommodation of visitors on the Thursday and Friday evenings of the Convention; and intimation should be sent as to whether lodgings will be required for one or both evenings. Communications should be addressed to Allan Coats, Esq., Hayfield, Castlehead, Paisley. I |
