propose to mark one what I consider
shall be the line of Sabbath ochool

thee be plenty of lighta-light plear
and beautiful, such as God Pours out
of the sun every day -a world full of
it; not erowdiug through small win -

panting' eff the sea or moving down

troduee not the "mierder Of the in-

there is no. army that call stand be-
fore you. The cowards will fly like

have in the United States and in Eng-
land the right kind of Sunday school
rooms, we will not haVe, the eighi
kind a Sunday schools:
Again I remark, the line of San-

will bo through an Improved Sunday
school literature. I ,ain amazed to
see what kind of books get into. the"
-.Sunday sehool libraries. Sentimental
love stories, biogrephiee• of gentralie
who were 'vere . brave, but
who , swore like troopers, fairy
stories; Oliver Optic, accounts of
boys and mils more :wonderful than
ever lived -books that •have no, more
religion in them than "Hudibras" or
"Gulliver's Travel." The poor little

tell you there is no excuse for getting
sickly or bed books in our Sunday
school libraries. Time was when there
was no juvenile literature worth any
thing. The best minds.of Europe and
America are now preparing junvenile
literature, iReject from your Sunday
school libraries all exaggerations; of
• life and all adventaree that do well
enough for the romance, but are not
fit foe the child. whose taste le to be
formed, and whose habita are to be

established, and whose Immortal seal
is to be saved. let not the faseinaL

of truth. Mistake not trash and slops
for simplicity. Do not have your
books higher than the child's coin*
prehension; or tower than ita dignity.

Woke do not let the exigent and the
diabolic efface the human, Oh, the
