In 1110 0112x011 of - God there are many inheres of Christian aetivtty,many phases of Christian work. The 'pulpit, the p7ow, the home occupy 21 foremost plane, 1tu4 the pe eons filling Damn are under tremendous re- stlousibilitvte dud and their fellow men. But the place and work of the Sabbath sobool worker are groat indeed; the honer and reward 110 0110 can estimate, To the greattgoo 1, it 1100 piny luable, Ono mnethod co-operation is that of Sabbath aabool visitation; and this by tate different 0310101100010112012 321 this God given work, Now,. may work undertaken, is worthy of be- ing w01L done. lb the ten1t before a walleye e three thoughts Yhlehlwe want to make plain to you. (1) The nenes8ity of 011010 visitation, But here alai 1110. question may he ask, does su11i neoe8now, 0lty exist? Does a Sabbath school, well organized, well ec,ulpp ed, with agood etait of nears and teachers, need help f110mOutside ? No one would asst such auestion if he had been with mo and MY fellow helpers through the last visitation, and would <noddally 0on811101 the fallowing. The object to, (a) To strengthen the bond of union among Sabbath school workers. Union is strength; and a threefold card le not easily broken. Union is essential to marl's being, woll•boing, happiness and pros• parity. Hence we have the union of man and wife, union in the home, in hne churob, in the body politic and union by the various -alaseos of men for protection aid material prosperity, Then how necessary for the hosts of God, the armies of Emmaun8l to be 0)0lted'111 a march against a 0Ommen Poe All Sunday schools have the Bailie work, the ee•ha truth, and that truth taught in the mune 1009008 from year to year. Then the workers have the same trials, difficulties, temptations, obstructions, carelessness cold indifference to meet and overcome. Now needful for the workers, having the same work, the same purpose, the same on in view, to have their hands strengthened their iterate cheered, their faith in God and in their work stimulated, so that they may pgrove faithful to the frust imposed la them 0ne way to do this is by the yearly visite• tion; and thereby strengthen the bond of union that exist in the hearts of those who love the Saviour, and who are engaged in Rio work. We are fully persuaded that everything should be done that is possible to make our Sabbath schools more efficient for the workin whioh they are engaged. No t1me, no work, no motley, no talent, no energy should be spared to bring about this great achievement - the salvation of the children. This visitation IS, 310) To encourage and stimulate officers, teachers, 00holar8 and others in their work. We do not go beyond stile bounds of truth when we say that all porso110, all classes. in all lines of aotlon have their doubts and fears times of darkness and dtscouragoments; when they long fora word of cheer &tad help, and no where more than In the Sabbath school, Here the year through the teachers Lave the same routine work, to meet the 01m8 class, the Same terbulaut restless boys, careless and indifferent girls, the same want of sympathy from any one. There is nob 11111011 wonder they sometimes have the blues and think of giving up tilt it position, or become indifferent whether they 0u0010od 01' not. Now at such a time, !t visit from a friend, a few words of cheer, warning on- o0nragement, help will bri0g lA;ht and inspiration and stimulate zeal. The good that maybe done to all concerned will be known only when the Lord 0Pm00 to make up Rig jewels and reward Ms eervauto, The v18itatation is, (0) To show the schools visited that thov have the sympathy, prayers and help of others outside of themselves. No ono can over estimate the value of true Christian sympathy at any time, under any ob'enmstanee8 ; but there are times and air- onmet0rlQee when it Is more espoeially need- ei1 and it is unspeakable value. Here ie m anomie. sad bereavement -the wife of his young manhood, of his mat0rer years, has been taken away from him by the hand of death. Bis home is fullof gloom and dark- ness, his heart is overwhelmed with pain and sadness. Re is not only in need of sympathy, butshould have it from all his fellows. 8o ib is with many, if not all Sab- bath school workers. They have times of darkness, en due ea tlispOndeuoy when they Y are special need, and when derneee Ch blon sheirtr ubled heart. a balmmto t heir troubled a lets and clouded10001 minds. Then in some way lel thorn prayers. they are the subjeotg of your youyers. My fr nea rand your work are all remembered before the Lord in our hearer nesting:' has iy Heart and life farr more than influenced twem ntt y -fl ve years. Pray for Sunday school teachers, and do not be afraid, or. ashamed, to lot them know they have yo101 Prayers, sym- pathy and help, and the best way we know Se to go to them when engaged in tbeir.work. And farther, the children demand special attention. The Master said to Peter, "Peed mylamb0." This renlatn8 in force fol' all times; and it should be stamped on the heart and burned into the soul of all who love our Lord Jesus Christ. It is no vain boast to say this wile done In every case dur- ing the visitation last made, And it must be stated, the children,in all cases, showed their appreciation of the attention paid them. We nave a right to expect thou the seed sown will take root and bring forth trait to the honor and glory of God, What is said oP the passed may be hoped for In re - • bo the future. We now oom0 to our next thought. (2) The importance of such a work. This arises, (a) From the message to be carried. What is the message you have for the Sabbath school 2 Who leas sent ? It is a Divine message gent from our Father in heaven, having the signet of Eternal King. It is a message, every word of which is true. I3 tells of God's great love for His fallen oreatnles ; the gift of His only Son Jesus Christ ; the way of Life and Salvation by a living faith, and a home in the allies when this life .is over. The nee88age is full of life, light, power and grace. It is for the man full of days, the man in middle life, the one rising into manhood, the boy and girl every where, but more especially so for those in the Sabbath school. The importance will appear when we consider that its reception means pardon, peace, joy, hope, life, happiness, holiness, lemma for ever. While its rejection means the loss of ail that is great and good for time and eternity, with the in. Reagan of the punishment due to sin which the Bible Faye i8 outer darkness and eternal pain. In view of all this, no one willbe found to say, that visitation and the carrying of such a message is not important. But note (b The of the visitors. The aim sboullaim d bo high, direct and at the greatest possible good. Nob the exhibition of self and the superior talents possessed, if there were any. Not to oritioize, nor to find fault with the methods and working of any oohool. But magnify the Lord, the inspired Word, end the Sabbath before the oflicere, teachers, childrbn and all p108ent. To encourage a thorough, earnest, eon1eut, systematic study of the Divins Word by both teaoh8138 and pupils, To ineieb on the ab80111te ne38001ty of true manhood and womanhood of noble Christian oharaoter, holy living with 8arne01 activity all along the line of Christian duty and usefulness, The bleesodness of being on the high- way of life, of being right with God, with man, with one.eolf now and forever, To show all yen address God's pu1p000 in man, on earth, is that he sli0nid be right and do right 3 that he do right to hie fel. lows and therein glorify his Maker and Redeemer. That the highest honor pour siblo bo man, is bo do 1118 work appointed ]nim, and so do the will of God on earth, "as it is done fn lleavon." To make it plain, that teachers called of 'God to thi8 work cannot neglect 1r- with Impunity oe shirk the 7'eepoesibility, But "blessed are they that do 1Iie OOminandmel118 fol' they shall have right to the tree of life." We note (c) The end to be aaoompliehed, Everyone, more so every thoughtful, In. tolligeut man, must have an end is view 0he11 he embarks on any eotorpri0e. We are not prepared to say all have at worthy and in view. , To the midnight robber hooey is the end before bion, and to au. 00mplisll his purpose he will d0 anything bad. To the Man of letters, to explore the broad Beide of literature 18 hie highest ambition, where he ant satisfy his 13181. cry tastes and as)liratious. To the man of 8018008, 801entllle inveetiilati0ne is the end sought, and that accompplished he has reached the joal desired. To the man of toil, to meet and satisfy the wants of himself and family is all that gives him any conoeru. Hence the days and yours go byand he never thinks of risingabove the cmmon level. To the true Chistian, the aim and end is to be in Christ, to be with Him, to be like flim, to have the s frit of Christ. To the Christian worker the aim should be to fled the field of labor, the work to be done, and how best to do it. The work of Sabbath school visitation may be expressed in one word, the word, Help ; help the 31800her0 to lay the foundation of Bible truth broad and deep in the tubule aid hearts of the children ; to set forth Christ as the Saviour, the Friend of 0iuuer0, the only Way of Lite and Salvation. Help the scholars to see the opportunities afforded them, to prize the privileges they enjoy, to appreciate the care, attention, and love of their teachers and hieude in and oat of school, but above all God's love for them in the gift of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Divine Word which is able to snake them wise, pure, good and fit them for life here and hereafter. We shall 11019 consider, (3) How this work should be done. And here we have two things to say, and we shall emphasis them. (a) The best talent possible should be given to this work. We have no desire to undervalue other lines of Christian activity, other branches of Christian work, but we eon - tend that this branch of Christ's work de- mands the best talent the clluroh has at command. It may not be out of place, at this point, and with no reflection on auy one, to say that some men are in no way qualified for this particular kind of work. A man may be an eloquent speaker, a first-class pulpit man and utterly useless addressing a Sabbath school. As a qualification for this kind of work, a man must possess an intense love for 01ildreu, a warm sympathetic nature, a burning enthusiasm to do good and a will under the controlling power of God. Then he must be able to adapt himself to the time, the place, the 811r- roandinge and circumstances of the hour. A man for this work should have •. a thorough knowledge of the Bible, under- stend human nature and have em ac- quaintance of the modes and thought and habits of the pupils attending our Sab- bath schools, and more, laborers in the field, soldiers in this war most be volun- teers. A man doing this work against his will, will never be a success. Now we state, (11) The best p3aus should be adopted, Iu this, as in many other things, men may differ as to what are the best plans to be carried out in visiting the school, What may be best for one sobool may not be best for another. Hence the need of wisdom, prudence, discretion, judgment. Bot, we give as our opinion, that in addressing ehtldren the object lesson plan is among the best any one can follow.. To reach the parents and talose who should take an futerest in Sabbath oohool work and do not, the best plan is to hold the meeting on the church service hour. Then the best way to help, encourage and stimu- late teachers is to address them on the nature and character of their work, its magnibude and importance, their reopen sibility to God and the reward of faithful labor. To this end give all the informa- tion possible ; stir an the powers of the mind, the emotions of the soul until all are filled with intense earnestness, and all go to the Help of the Lord against the mighty. And may all be found faithful. Amen, R. PAu1., Olin Coll. Nlrw8r OzrATToO,-W. J.
