THE S. S. IN ITS RELATION TO MISSIONS, (31 iiov, D. 10811081, woLT011.) In our S. S. Conventions it is interest. ing to notice that the various subjects announced for discussion, although seem- ingly wide apart, yet they naturally re- volve around one common centre, viz.: - The instruction, conversion and building up those boys and girls who are soon to fill our place and not their part on the stage of this world. The teacher's work is in harmony with that of the Gospel minister ; the aim and object is the same - the glory of God in the salvation of preci. ons souls. When we first learn that all men are brethren, with equal rights, what new thoughts and feelings, what a wealth of humanizing influence is opened up as those grand ideas are gradually taken in. The S. S. ie not a separate, isolated or. ganization, it is the connecting link be- tweenthefamily and the congregation. The highest type of church life should be found in the family. We can trace the wisdom of God in the family institution. It is a 111000 snored duty devolving upon parents, the training of the children for usefulness here and glory hereafter. It is a work that no teacher clan do with the same measure of success as the faithful parent. If the world is to be made better it must be (done through family religion, and the Christian education of the yonng. Parents have but to look around them upon those dear little ones, who have the tenderest claims upon their Christian re. gard, and if negleoted by them, who then is to care for them ? Who will guide their feet into the way of peace 2 The Scripture injunction with the promise annexed is "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old be will not depart from it." That is get the Truth introduced into the soul while yet a child, so influence, so instruct, so guide them in the way of Truth and holiness and the result will not be disappointing. "The father to the children will make known the Truth." What encourage- ment to parents and others to geek the early conversion of the children. The Holy Spirit in all oases uses the Gospel for saving souls and in applying it to children there are two features of the Gospel notably illustrated. First its en- tire freeness, for what could a child give to God, and in the Second place -its amazing simplicity, which is so humbling to self-righteous man. Children brought to Christ in their infancy will be exercis- ing an influence for good as they grow up also think of the evils e90aped and the ills that were•never done. Is it not too much the custom of tell- ing the children all about the glorious salvation provided, and what a gracious Savions is ours, without sufficiently urg- ing themto make all this their own ? And so in our families and S. 5'. ohild- ren grow up unconverted beoausethey are not more personally dealt with. While religion should be with man everywhere, yet its proper home is in the family. The (ire cherished in the home where God is worshipped may through his bless- ing continue to shine and feed the flame of missionary zeal, but parents are not yet all Christians. It is sad to think that in ,this Christian land of Gospel light and liberty that there are still many homes where God is nob worshipped, no prayer, no praise, just as the fairest land- scape givee no joy to a desolate heart, or the brightest sun that shines brings 120 ray of welcome to the captive's dungeon,. so in the same way there are still many hearts closed to the offers of mercy, hav- ing no ears to hoar the story of redeem- ing love. If the ohildren of euob homes ate to receive religious instruction at all it must be given by others. Religions inetrnotioe by whomsoever imparted, possesses value that cannot be sufficient- ly estimated. Just here the S. S., with its benign in- fluence, cornea in, and is being felt more and more to be an absolute necessity in the interests cf those who are neglected at home and feat the Game time an in- valuable aid to faithful parents. The S. S., though originally intended for stray ohildren, is now made up of all who are anxiouo to avail themselves of religi000 Ioatrrlotion, whether young or old. All in oonneotion with it make up what we call the S. S. It is an import- ant part of the ch0reh of Christ. The nursery of the congregation where the young plants are reared and ;cultivated ; by and by to become trees of righteous- ness in the garden of the Lord. The object is to gather in all 01a8ee8 and conditions of people, for the purpose of imparting to them spiritual Truth, in obedience to the Master's command - "Feed my lambs." It is not intended to n0nrp the place of what the children should receive at home, but a following up of home training. What a sphere of nOf01ne80 the S. S. opens up to faithful teachers 1 What an opportunity to win to Christ those whose lines will be it blessing to the world 1 Many bumble Christiane are doing 0 grand work in the S. S. in their own quiet way. Like many great enterpri00e the S.S. from a email beginning has Ting IiRIT8SE .S POST rimg..4.4 ,„,, ngsa:..... ww it urp4mo s t t lobo alw 0lr Have we nob bore the promise and pro- speot of ultimate victory in Ilwinniug the ma6900 to 01140, the ollu1ch through the S. 8, dealing with the young ? The beadier eboald net fail to inlprees upon the children not only Haat they need Christ but also that Chr'iet needs them, that He may use them in His servioe. We cannot estimate the blessed restate of S. S. work, Are not the 0hrfati0n work. ere of today just the fruit of what hag been done in the poet? We take itfor granted that all teachers are true Chriab• 1008, 0,0 110 000 eau doany work for Christ while in heart they Aro opposed to linin, "Ile that is not with Me is against Me," besides there could be no heart in the work, but if we truly love Christ we will love to work for Him, As teachers we 0)1001d seek to have large and loving hearts, no another has said, "We should strive to be as broad as the love of God and at the game time as narrow as 10)o riglrteousnees," our every day life being in some measure au example worthy of imitation. How bleated and beneficial a good example 1 An individual fearing God and working righteousness may abed n ray of light that iefar•reaolring, David Livingstone, that illustrious lnissionry, who penetrated the gloom of Africa, says of his father, "He deserves my lasting gratitude for lotting before me from my infancy a continuous pious example, I revere his memory." An inoousletent life in any Christian will nullify their beet efforts in the way of teaohing others. The teacher to be su000sefnl must be much given to prayer. We have all to acknowledge that there is not so mucin fruit in our S. S. as we would like to see. Some people will say do the work and leave the results with God, but we should look for and expect results. It ie true God will not hold us responsible for results, but Re will hold us responsible for the faithful perform - alae of our duty. Are we not too often trying to do the work single-handed and in our own strength, hence we fail. We cannot work for Eternity alone. We may be praying for the Holy Spirit bub are the wrllinir, and ready to receive the Spirit ? A work to be good needs to be done in the power of the Spirit. The blessed Saviour 1100 taught us "apart from Me ye Dau do no- thing," but what right has the Christian to be apart from Christ 7 Is not the power of the Holy Spirit for service with- in reach of all whose hearts are right with God ? But we require humility, to be emptied of our self-euffroiency and also that we should have faith to be filled that God may have all the glory. 0 I how much we need to be instant in prayer for more power from on bigh. The godly Welch, e2 one time pastor of my native town, said "He could not un- derstand how a Christian could lie all night in bed without rising to pray." We were told by reliable authority that it was his custom to spend eight hours out of the twenty-four in prayer. le it any wonder that there were giants in those days. Next the relation of the S. S. to mis- sions. It should be the same as its rela- tion to society. The ohildren who attend the S. S. now are those who in a very few years will mould and guide society in the world, and how necessary it is that the foundation should be well laid. Man's chief end is to glorify God, and that can only be done by obeying Him. The tom. mand is "Go into all the world and teaoh all nations, and lo I am with you." Do we ever think that our blessed Savioar is walking up and down among the classes in the S. S. taking notice of our work? The invitation of the Gospel is "Come," which complied with brings 00 into env. anent relationship (sooehip) and that is a000mpanied with the word "Go," which carries us into his service. The very word mission implies that there is n mes- sage to tell to others. Our blessed Saviour Dame from Heaven with a message of peace and pardon to a guilty world. Christian parents are en. trusted with a mission to their children ; teaohers are missionaries to their classes ; everyone a missionary in their own sphere. The teacher who is imbued with the missionary spirit will not fail to impress the same upon the ohildren. drawing out the young winds to look upon the whole Truman rape as members of the one great family, all needing salvation. Then there should be missionary litera- ture, missionary lessons occasionally and missionary hymns. There is a convert. ing power in the nee of eaored song. The missionary spirit should be fostered and cultivated or there will be no growth. If the teachers are fully alive to their work the S. S. will supply the missionaries and a fair share of the means for their support as well. The little offerings of the ohildren should all be devoted to mis- sionary purpose's. There are many good things to be learned in the S. S., but the principle thing is the winning of the children to Jesus, and everyone so saved should be- oome a missionary of the Dross wherever their lot may be oast, not only receiving light and life themselves, but like living fountain sending forth refreshing streams to gladden the hearts of others. Let the chief object of alt ourteaehing be the possibility of ;sending forth a grand corny of workers from our S. S. to spread abroad everywhere the glorious news of a once cruel/led but now exalted Redeemer. If the good seed be gown in love and watered with our prayers, who can tell under God's blessing how rich the har- vest may be ? Some of us are old enough to remember the time when the agencies of the church were bat feeble and the missionaries few, but to day the mission. my spirit breathes through every religious institution in our land. The children, even the little children, are being taught that the world is for Christ. The Christian ohuroh is just waking up to her privilege as a great mi0sionary institution. What she has done in the past is just like the droppings before the shower. A great work lies still before us when we cast our eyes over the dark places of the earth. What'a sad picture rises before us I Millions of faro. tlies, fathers, mothers and ohildren pas- sing on in a never•endingprocession from the cradle to the grave in spiritual dark - nese, having no Ono to tell them of deems and His love. We like to sing in our S. S. "I love to tell the story," but when some one asked for a oontribution to assist in telling the story, the whole scene ieohanged. What money ie needed to carry on the work ie the sore place with many people fn our religion. We must give as well as sing. If we would move others we most move ourselves. Florence Nightingale moved others most when she went into the bat. found its way into every part of the I tie fieldherself. In that waywe teach world where Christian people dwell. the ohildren to contribute their pennies ;Molinari, °tltaV"'01 Walttanger0a8. to help 04 the corning of Ohriet's kips. dem. If we would comply with the teaching of Seriptnre we must give cheer. fully, freely and liberally, proving to our. selves the words of tiro Lord Josue "It is more blessed to give than to receive." It le Godlike to be giving. What have w0 that we did nob r000ive 7 Giving is An sot of worship. When we are mulled upon .for a contribution we should take it 40 a Ball in Providence to cultivate in 0e it giving dispooition. ing many year's experience I have only found very few families who'would r000ive the collector with a weloorna and eon - tribute cheerfully of their means to the cause. "The gold and the silver aro Mine," with the Lord, There is a sacredness about every penny we r000ive. '"00oupy till Ioome," is tlrosupereoripptionon every coin. As proper oxeroiso'tende to strength. en and develop the body, in the same way our hearts wilt grow larger, 00ronger and better by being exercised in doing good. People are offering themselves for the work of missions, but the means ie not available tq enable the church to employ. them, while millions of mousy are being spent on luxuries and other sinful pleas• urea, to the neglect of the Lord's treas- ury, and nations are perishing for lack of the Bread of Life. The inspired penman says "The needy shall not always be for- gotten, the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever," implying tnat they will be attended to, but ah 1 how long they have t0 wait. People of God let no ask the Great Giver to teach 118 to give. I believe that if 'Christians were fully alive to their duties and privileges in this reaped, that rich blessings would descend upon our churches like refreshing show. era. The Christians of today are hairs of all the past, and the trasteos of the future, a snored trust is committed t0 our hands. "Englandexpects every man to do hie duty," was the motto that Nelson ran up to the mast head when about to engage in that terrible struggle, and nobly they did their duty. God's word is the Christian's motto let us learn from it more prayer- fully what God would have us to be and to do. Wo have enemies in us and about us more powerful than Nelson had to con- tend with at Trafalgar, but through God's grace given to us, the shall be able to sub- due thorn all. We pride ourselves in being subjeoto of the British Empire, but ie it not a far higher privilege to be the loyal subjeots of that kingdom that shall know no end ? Queen Viotoria'e soldiers have died on every coast in defending and maintaing the supremacy of the Ern. pire, and shall we the professed soldiers of the Icing of Kings not use our.bost en„ deavore to defend and exted the cause we love ? Sbo61d not the love of God to us and the noble example of illustrious men and women who have gone before us stir us up to greater energy and diligence in the servioe of humanity ? Being a oo• worker with God in the lifting up of the Truman race from a state of sin and suffer- ing into a state of holiness and happiness is the grandest work to which man can put his hand. GEMS OF THOUGHT. The singer's work is a picture painted on air. Mirth is sbort.lived ; oheerfulness new. er dies. Cumbrous luxury is the death of true hospitality. • He is truly polite who says and does kind things in a kind way. Authors should not so mull make us read as make us think. The wisest habit is the habit of care in the formation of habits. The wise and active conquer difli collies by daring to attempt them. Forgetfulness and carelessness are the by -ways that lead to failure. The discreet man will not forget when ladies are absent that gentlemen may be present. Spare minutes are the most fruitful for good or evil, for they are as gapsthrough which temptation finds easiest access to the garden. Avoid little debts, unpunotuality, gos. sipping, nicknaming, petty quarrels, and all others of these little vices which fill the ointment with flies. There is nothing keeps longer than a middling fortune, nd nothing melte away sooner than a great one. Poverty treads upon the heels of great and unexpected riches. To be thrown upon one's own resources is to be oast in the very lap of fortune, for our faoilities then undergoa development and display an energy of which they were previously unsasaeptible. A jeweller in a neighboring town, bas hit upon a novel scheme for attracting notice to the window. He has put on exhibition and sale a watch valued at $90, and every day he takes $5 from the prise. The second day it was offered at $85, the third at $80, and so on. A ward bearing the dates and daily shrinking in price is placed beside the watch. The jeweller knows thabsomebody will want to get the timepiece for $10 but will also be on his pine and needles less some other fellow steps in before him and buys it for $15.
