We often see oases where eh Superintendent has to go1rorn one Glee to another to fill the places of abeen one. Then he must have a method of teaching. What better way than by 'question and answer ? This way curios- ity is awakened, thought quickened, their buowledge is tested, and expressed in their own language, If a guestion be asked that does not need an audible re- ply let it be as suggestive as possible or it will fall lifeless on the understanding. The teacher must give attention to this matter. In the.common eohools this mode is universal, and then it wae prac- tised by the Great Teaober Himself, therefore has His sanction. We will look then at the result of the work of a well qualified teacher. Iu after years the children we train and teach will have to take y our work. On us depend the spiritual welfare of the future world. "Let us then watch ,for souls as they who must give an aoaoune." That we will prepare miuieters, missionaries, teachers for this and other lands. May we devote our hearts and lives to the Master's work, and out of the heart our lips may toll the "Old, old story of Jesus and His Love" to the lambs of the flock, and our consistent lives be an example to guide them in the narrow way that Leads to life everlasting. It is truly a responsi- ble position to be a teacher of immortal beings ; to have under our car the heirs of eternal bieesedneae or woe. Let us watch as the opening faculties of youth expand and inetil into their minds "that fear of God which 1s the beginning of wiedom," Fellow teaohere, let us per- severe in the good work and remember that by this mens alone the immortals with whom we are dealing can' be insured of happiness, either in this life or the life which is to Dome.
