The Sunday School is without doubt and beyond comparison the moat important engine hitherto devised for the imurove• went of soolety. Through its iontrutuautal• ity ninny have been brought t, . saving knowledge of the Truth and the faithful teaching of a faithful teacher baa led ninny a one to give up every vorldle. advantage to preach the Gospel to perishlog heathen. They may have been qualified to adorn the bar or the bench or the Senate oheathsr but then have given up thee° fnr the make of the milliane who know nob of the love of J00ue. Should not the Sunday selthol teachers take courage then and make it their aim to instil a miesionnre spirit in the hearth of the children who are under their instruction in spiritual things. The heart of a (Mild is easily turned either in the way of good or evil. Scholars catch the spirit Of their teacher and whether the teacher lea firm or lukewarm Christian the elan w111 be likely to grow tin with the 01me spirit. Having the mtesionery spirit himself the teacher should teach the children that Obriat wants them to give their hearts to Him and Obey fife last command. We read in the Bible "Where there is nn vision the people perish." The lack of interest in Missions is largely due to lack of ltnowiage. Teach the ohildren then the great need of the mission geld. that many thousand of ottr fellow -men are in a perishing 0oudition but that Christ Dame to save them as well ex us. Tench them of the love, grape, humility and sell er- Ingeat 01rlet'o mission to earth, of love "Herein 1s love not that we loved Him but that ele loved us and sent His Sou to be a ppropibiatsou for one sins"; of grime "Por ye know the grate of our Lord Jeans Christ, though Se was riot" yet for von+ oaken He became poor that ye through His poverty might be rich"; of humility and suffering how 'Fie humbled Himself awl became obedient unto death eveu the death of the 00000." We think it far for our bfie,lanarios to go to the East or West Smiles nr the South Sea latitude nu,1 so it is. We think they mast experience a Wastrel change in their sitnatioe and undergo many hardships and so they do but what is all that +0nppared with the change in the a ,ndltion of tha ne. deemer whn left the bosom of His Father to dwell in this world with the 1lardshipe and sufferings He endured. As He Himself said ho n el have "The fxe t les eon • Ia o birds the tttr have nests uoft the Fon titan hath 001 where to lav Fife head." Fines this should affect every heart and eau,+wain us 00 em- bark with Heart and knurl io the great cause of elisions, How atronely ahtuld nur own hearts be impressed so the .t we ant impress on the hearts of the children the vain: of a soul when we know that it is pnr.thn.sed "Tint with silver or gold but with the preeirnls blood of Jesus." Teach the children that Christ is sent by God to cnliebten and a,we 1013,1 iuvelopnd in darlm.'se and sunk in misery; that the W6r4 preached and. the meesege received produces Peace with God and among nur fellow -man for itis said by God "He shall speak to the heathen. Tell them there are parte of the world on which the "tine of Righteousness bath not arisen with healing in Beo wings" where the inhabitants walk in groan dark- ness and instead of worshipping the One living and true God bow down to idols of wool and stone, works of their own halide. Tell them though they may not be able to go themselves, they may aid by their prayers and oontributions the cause of kris. sinus ; that they are workers 80001er with Christ and with God in promoting the spread of the Gcspel and the salvation of men, Then let every Sunday school teacher of every eenomluation say in the language of Neh. "The God of 'Heaven, He will pros- per us therefore we His servant, will arise and build." Alt then Sunday echool teacher impress this groat truth on the hearts of the children thatthe mission cause is the Lord's and they have good reason to believe that it than creeper for He bath promised that "All the ends of the earth shall see His ealvation;'and that in all +loops incensenud pence offering than. be offered to Bis nam0. Tell them to pray for the coming of Obrist'a kingdom ; that His kingdom may be advanced and the kingdom of eaten de- stroyed, aud to do what they can in the cense. Tell them to give ,to the :Horning that flows out of heaven. Give 1 as the free air and sunshine are elven, for God loved% a cheerful giver, and it is more blessed to give than to receive. Though every one may not be able to acooniplish it great work for the Lord, if each one would do somethlug we would b 0 surprised at the amount of work done, Oh I get the hearts of the children warmed up with the love of Josue ; tench them to spend and be silent for the honor of Christ and tits progress of truth in the world: teach them to sacrifice their time and their talents, their oubataine cud their otrongth in the melee 0f God.
