In a few minutes more he felt he had left the rough -stones ofthe church. and its chill sepulchral air, for a matted floor and a warmer at- mosphere; the bandage dropped from his eyes, and he found himself in a small square room, comfortably fur- nished with a fire blazing in the chim- ney; a second look convinced him he was in the private chamber ofan ecclesiastic, and that he was alone. 1'0 BE CONTINUED.

COUNSELS TO SABBATH SCHOOL T E A C H E R. S.

In reference to the obyervations on this subject, which were printed in lastWed- nesday’s edition, the writer proceeds—

“ With regard to the foregoing, I would remark—first, that I suppose the speaker probably had been obliged to deal with the more wicked children of the poor in London, or some manufactur- ing town in England. Secondly,that in- tiuite wisdom permits men of such views to occupy even the pulpit sometimes, and therefore it becomes us not to be too im- patient towards thosc with whom He thus torbcars ; and thirdly, that I never could entrust my own children for a single

sabbath to the hands ot’such a lcachcr.—- i (Ian he be a proper guide for children? who has “no opinion of what a child‘

says l”——who does not -bclieve lloiy Spirit blesses the word” to such ! Olihmv wide is this from the spirit of Je- sus Christ, who warned us not to ofl'cnd

one of these little ones, and whose first I

command to the repeating Peter was that he should “ feed his lambs.” But fourthly, that I have copied this remark- able authentic speech of a teacher be- cause it is, I fear what the feeling of toomany teachers would he found to be, it' they thought atom! Did you never see a teacher sit down to his or her class as ifit were a task-us it he took no in- terest in the lesson--as it he felt that he would find itcxceedinglyditi‘tcult to oc- cupy the whole hour! Very many times, I doubt not, the teacher lose the past labours perhaps ofa whole yearin conse- quence ot'not having the immediate con- vert-ion of every child constantly before his mind. {How does this stand with re- gard to those teachers who are not them- ulvu concerted?) The records of the Judgment day will doubtless show mul- tituch ofcasc-s in which the child was led

to the foot olCalvsry. For what has God placed each of these children in your hands! That you may lead them into the fold of Christ: thatyou may labour and pray for the conversion of every child committed to you, and not feel that your duty, anxious duty, is performed, so long asa single child remains unconverted. I have known many teachers,whose aims were these, weep for joy as they sat down at the table of Christ with every one of their class. scribe, and no imagination can conceive, the influence, either good or bad, which each scholar under your care may yet exertz—there may bea Cowper or (lewd) Byron, among them—a missionary o the cross, or one who shall hereafter scatter arrows,firebrana’s and death.
