The Swiday School Teacher
Not long ago one of our states -

men made the following remark,
• 'The Educational problem of this
• age, and every other age, is not the
founding of the school house, but the
making -of the school Master." So
• the important thing in connection
• with our Sunday Schools. is the Tea-
cher.
Time and again we hear the an-
, nouncement from the pulpit or read
on ;the Church Calander that tea-
`ohers axe 'badly needed for certain
, classes in the Sunday School. What-
ever is' the matter that we 'Cannot
get teachers to instruct the young
in God's word and that when we do
• get then- they are there one Sunday
and away the next and their only
excuse to the Superintendent is that
they were out en Saturday night and
' weretoo tired to ,come, or the weath-
er was too warm; or they hadan
invitation to go for a drive or they
wanted to go away into the country
or same such excuse? It is no reason,
it is just simply an excuse. We often
• wonder if Christ Himself carne into
some of our Sunday Schools and
asked the teachers why they were
not there the previous Sunday what
' they would say. Probably it would
be just the same as they say to the
' Superintendent. •
Recently a new teacher took over
• •a class. It is true she was having her
difficulties. One day a new boy carne
into'•the class and one of the other
boys wrote his name in the atten-
correct but the surname had no con-
nection with the lad at all. It was too
bad for theboy as it was a name
which would probably stick to him
throughthe years to conte. The tea-
cher went on Balling the boy by the
name for several Sundays. Then one
Sunday one of the boys said' to her,
"Do you believe what we say to
you?" "Yes, she replied, "I believe
what you say to me" The boys
laughed as the first boy said. "That
is not his name at all, His name is
G4tn we imagine such things
going on in our Sunday Schools?
The wonder is that the boy ever carne
back to the Sc'hoo1. Girls will be
girls and boys will be boys and we
all want them to get all the pleasure
out of life that it is possible for
them to get, but teachers should re-
melnher, that, when they undertake to
teach God's' word that they should
make it one of the first things in
their lives. The position should
never be accepted in the first place
without a great deal of prayer,
prayer on the part of the minister
and Sunday 'School staff that suit-
able teachers may be found and then
on the part of the teacher that she
may be acceptable to Christ. Prayer
should be offered to the Saviour to
help in' the preparation of the. Sun-
day School lesson, and Jesus Ohrist
should beinvited to be ,present at
the class on Sunday and the class
should understand that this: has been

Do the •Sunday, School teachers of
to -day .take the real responsibility
they sheuldin their work? Each,
teacher of the Bible• must answer
that question' for herself, or himself.
Bishop Vincent sums up the work
of the Teacher in this way.
1. To see that the truth is impart-
ed,
• 2. That it is so imparted that it
will be received.
3 That it is so received• that it
will be "retained. •
4. That it is so retained that it
will 'be employed. for personal grow-
th,human good and God's glory."
If all teacher's of God's 'word
would have those words printed -and
them on the
•
upin cont of f
put
desk where they sturdy their lesson
there would not be the problem of
Sunday School teachers that. there is
to -day. In the first place no one
should undertake to teadh God's word
unless they feel that God has called
them for that work.
The Teacher, mast study, not for
one :hour,: belt for hours, under God's
guidance in order that he may get the
seed from the word which God wants
them to sow in the mind of the child
or the adult. The seed is sown not
only for to -day er to -morrow, but it
is sown for Eternity and the result
of that sowing will appear before
the Judgment seat seat of God. With
children the teacher turns the tender
minds towards something which they
have probably Beard very little about
before—their loving Saviour—Jesus'
Christ. We know full well that in
many cases children are not taught
about that in the homes to -day.
John Brown of Haddington once
remarked' to his theological class.
"Three things ye must have: piety,
learning and common sense. God will
gie ye the first; S will gie ye the
second; blit if ye "arae nae the third,
the Lord bite mercy on ye." So too,
every Sunday School teacher needs
these tkree and they need a great
deal of patience, A teacher who has
not had the wonderful experience of
being brought to a loving Father for
Salvation cannot expect to .lend
others to Him. Therefore the primary
thing in a teaches life is to seelc and
find Christ as his personal .Saviour
and tins prepare himself to teach lour heart atter soul into it and Iet no
that truth, to other's. An incident, is trivial matter keep us from carrying
told of a sailor who was a Bible `on with Christ's help to the very
teacher. He had little knowledge ofbest of our ability. There is no higher.
history and less of science but he had 1 work than teaching Jesus Christ.
a personal knowledge of Jesus Christ "I would not have the restless will
and was the means of leading every
member of his class to his Saviours
That man had a way of teaching
Christ "so that it` .-'was received by
the scholars and: he instilled it into
their minds that they retained that
knowledge.
The important thing in the life of a
real Christian teacher is to so teach
that the members• of the class-willl
not only retain what he has taught
them, but that they will be so en
thased by the • teaching , that they
will feel 'that they must go out and
tell what they have learned.
In "the meantime the teacher must
day :by'day live the life which he
has, been trying to teach, bis crass.
There is little use of the teaeher tel-
ling his scholars one thing and liv-
ing a life altogether different,. Will
God honor any teacher who does
that? What would be the use of a
teacher pointing out the necessity
of 'being honest if he went out
through the week and was dishonest
in his business dealings with :his
business dealings with his fellow
men, oe why teach purity in speech
and be beard taking the Lord's name
in vain. Can a teacher teach the
word of God properly and be part of
a triangle in life. Can one teach the
love of Christ and harbor in their
lives, anger, tempter and jealousy.
Can any teacher try to explain the
word of God to others and give first
place to any thing but Christ Those
of us who are teachers and we all
are to a certain extent let us just
invite Ohrist to help us to look into
our lives and find out the things
which are there which should' not be
and then ask Him to take them all
away from us "and to give Hint the
very first place in our lives,
It may be that we are teaching
and have no right to be instructing
others in God's word. If we are not
Ohristians and are trying to do His
work along this line let us immedia-
tely get down on our knees and ask:
His forgiveness'. To teach Sunday
School should in no way be a pastime.
To count it so is a sin for which we
will have to account to God, but when
we have taken the matter up with
Christ, have accepted Him and, feel
that Ile has called' us to that form

The Sugar Solution
We have co-ordinated our results
with those from. the Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture. One inter-
esting table shows the approximate
number of quarts of canned fruits
Irma ten pounds of sugar:
Very thin syrup (1 cup sugar to 3
cups water) yields' approximately
three and one-half cups. Using one
cusp of syrup for each quart jar of
small er sliced fruit will can about.
sixty-five quarts.
Thin syrup (1 cup sugar to 2 cups
water) yields approximately two and
one-half cups. Using one cup syrup
for each quart jar of small or
sliced fruit will can about forty-five
quart jars.
Moderately thin syrup (cup: sugar
to one and one-half cups water)
yields approximately two cups' liquid.
One cup of ,syrup fills forty quarts
small or sliced fruit or twenty-seven
quarts of large or 'whole fruit such
as strawberries or peaches.
Medium syrup (one cup sugar to
one . cup, of water) yields approximat-
ely one and one-half. cups. One cup
medium syrup fills thirty quarts
small fruit or twenty quarts large
fruit. This is suggested for canning
sour cherries and plums.
Berries and currants (raspberries,
blueberries, gooseberries, 'blackber-
ries, huckleberries, loganberries,
thimbleberries, ' saslcatoons, red and
black currants).
Pick over and clean (wash if necen
awry.) Cover with boiling syrup. Pro-

PROTECT YOUR NEGATIVES

Save and preserve your negatives for future use. A negative album is
as important as one for prints.
nO you keep a isle of your neg- You are more than ever convinced
atives? If you don't — yea that your album idea Is perfect. You
should, visualize the title—"Up to This
"Well' you may say, "I make it Moment"—but then you suddenly
a point to put a print of every good and woefully realize that you no
longer have the negatives. Of course
you can have copy negatives made
but such a procedure, compared with
contact prints from the original
negative, is rather expensive. Fur-
thermore, some of the quality may
be lost when the copy negative is
made.
picture I make in my album and in
that way I keep a complete record
of all my pictures." Bravo! That is
an excellent idea but, nevertheless,.
you should go a step further and
preserve the negatives because
some day you are going to want
some extra prints and the only way
to get really good prints is from the
original' negative.
Suppose, for example, that you
started taking pictures of Jane
when she was a tiny baby, then her
first birthday cake, her first Christ -
rues, and perhaps many other
"firsts." _ Comes time forher to
graduate from grammar school, and
that, in any child's life, is a real
milestone. You have: a brilliant
thought. "Wouldn't it please Grand-
mother to receive a nicely arranged
album picturing Jane's life' up to
and through her graduation?"
You look through your album and
find 'some grand story -telling pic-
tures. Here's Jane in the arms of
her father for the first time. Here
she is giving a big smile to Grand-
mother and Grandfather in recogni-
tion of their Sirst visit. "Remember
the first . Christmas when you
snapped the nictur•e of Mother hoid-
ing. Jane in her arms to be thrilled
by the bright lights, the glistening
tinsel, and the colorful decorations?
Andsoyou go on through the
album reviewing the highlight's of
Jane's life, as well as the family's,
over a period of several years.
So, be sure to save your nega-
tives. They can be kept in envelopes
If you wish but a better and more
convenient method is to put ahem
in an inexpensive negative album.
Within the covers there are bound
glassine envelopes to protect your
negatives and: there is an index sys-
tem which will enable you to quick-
lyiocate them. These albums can
be purchased from most dealers in
photographic equipment in various
standard sizes.
But whether you use the album
or some other system, save and
preserve your good negatives for
future use.
If you happen to be numbered
among those who do save their
negatives, here's a bit of advice to
you. Look them over because the
chances are you'll find some for-
gotten pictures which may recall
