SUNDAY SCHOOLS \ ) ih Address, by Rev, I. M. Witl co nbe at the Church Con- vention. Afternoon meeting umerside March 21.)

[ have been asked to say something hy way of introducing a general discus sion on this subject. I will endeavor

remarks under distinct heads, and say something brief and suggestive about each with the hope that each point may be taken up in consecutive order and fully discussed.

rHE TEACHER'S OBJECT.

There is no work, no undertaking, no project, it seems to me—nay I am sure—which demands a clearer, surer,

and more definite grasp of purpose or object than this work. We are liable to confound 8. 8: instruction with the purely intellectual instruction of the day schools. We urge, we tempt, our scholars to put forth effort,—by emula- tion, by premiums, by special care and acumen to make a good showing—but in what ? re

Let us ask this question: In what? I fear the bulk of our Sunday School teachers have a totally incorrect idea. And the results of that account for the widely-diffused ‘‘exteriority,” as it has been called by a great teacher, which characterizes the religion of most people to-day. We might as well bring up our children on the lines of agnos- tic sophism or ethical culture. We are feeding the children with husks— not wilfully, but ignorantly. Let me

explain: The purpose of the S. S. is not intellectual. It is, par excellence, spiritual. As it has been expressed:

“The true end and aim of the Sunday School is surely to lead the lambs of Christ’s{flock tofthe Shepherd.” This is the point. The Christian life is an in- terior matter, and the children must early be taught that religion is a per- sonal matter as between a personal soul and a personal God. In other words, to be a Christian means to live a life of union with Christ, because He was in baptism made a member of Christ, a child of God.

I admit this tobe a theme deeper perhaps than the child-mind can grasp ; but this is the love, this is the philosophy that can make that type which it was Christ’s avowed aim and purpose to create. “I am come that ye might have life,” said He. And it is the tfe in each individual which is going to tell towards achieving that masterly ideal and sublime projecc of banishing sin from this world. If you can teach the lambs of Christ’s flock, by whatever means, that He can take away the sin of the world, not the sins, and that this is done in each indivi- dual heart—in a hidden life,—purified in conception by early impressions such as only a toved teacher or a mother can give, and lived out day by day, month by month, year by year, uncer careful and watchful tutelage ; if, in a word, you can impress upon the chiidren the significance and _propor- tion and proper place in the lives of the three great factors of God’s uni- verse, viz: God, myself and all the rest of the world; then we might have them growing up as the Ohrist-child grew up in the Nazarene Church, the Nazarene Parish, the Nazarene Home, (1) as to themselves, ‘in wisdom and in stature” (intellectually pure, physi- cally pure and (2) ‘in. favor with God, as to spiritual life”) and (3) “in favor with man” (as to clean and honorable reputation.) This then is the primary and all important object of our Sunday School work.

THE TEACHER’S IDEAL.

What then is the qualification of the teacher? Intellectuality? No. When our Lord, as we were beautifully re- minded by the preacher of last even- ing, was examining Simon Peter for Holy Orders, mark you how He proved him. It reminds us of those last tests to which medical students are put at the final stages of their exami- nation for diplomas. They are to be practitioners ; and so they are tested on those points which mean practical, immediate success in serious cases. We too are practitioners, we workers in the Kingdom of Christ. And our first and most momentous cases are the dear lambs of Christ. Mark you, therefore, I say, the Master’s final test of St. Peter. He went to the root of the whole matter: “Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these?” He saith unto Him, ‘ Yea Lord, Theu knowest that I love Thee.” He passed. “He saith unto him ‘Feed My lambs.’ ”

I hesitate not one moment to say that any lower ideal than this for our S. S. teachers would be a calamity. Sisters and brothers in Christ, do not we know, as being of the initiated, that what is killing the life and the in- fluence of Christianity in the world to- day is this same ‘ externalism,’ because we, like Martha, have not learnt what

the worker than he is about the work. His kingdom is advanced rather by what we ave than what we do. This is where Martha failed of the Master’s approval. She represents a type of fussy workers. It was lately said, “ Zeal is the new cloak which covers the muititude of sins.”

“Thou must be true thyself,

If thou the truth would’st teach, It needs the overflow of heart

To give the lips full speech.”

I want no teacher whose heart is not in the work, and your scholar will dis- sect your character as a spectroscope dissects the rays of light. ‘‘ Beware lest ye offend one of these little ones.” I have no faith whatever in the influ- ence and the use of ateacher who does not possess this first qualification, of a knowledge of what the Christian life is, and what is the value of Christ’s proposal to regenerate a world. I have every hope of that one whose prayer, spoken in secret in that hour of meditation and supplication and in- tercession which every ideal teacher will inevitably work icto the warp and woef of his or her common life, will be

“Speak to me, Lord, that I may speak In loving echoes of ‘Thy tones.”

So much for ideal. PRACTICAL QUALIFICATIONS,

(1) Power of control. Perhaps it is unfair to expect everybody to be com- plete in this, but in the practical work of a teacher ‘Attention, and how to secure it,’ is one of the main principles of pedagogics. Even God requires attention when He teaches His great lessons, and willhave it. Without this power of control all other gitts are practically useless. A noisy undisci- plined class is a reproach te the teach- er. Napoleon said, “ There are no bad regiments ; but there are bad colonels.” How is this gained? Let me tell you as an old teacher who never failed with a class in this matter yet, and who has had interesting trials; begin, by gaining the love of your pupils. You will smile as yeu perhaps think of a certain Tommy Jones or Johnny Jenkins whom you knew as incorrig- ibles and who had no soft places what- ever in their constitution. But I re- assert it, win the love of your class! Do it first by self-control, patience, kindness, anything but ill-temper and savagery. And I say this, after ex- periencing many rebuffs and humilia- tions, that the boy whom who cannot win to you as your slave by earnest, faithful, prayerful interest in boyhood, isa vara avis. He is found, indeed, but so rarely that he doesn’t count.

(2) Punctuality and regularity. I group these, they are twin sisters, even though one perhaps weighs a little more than the other. Your pupils will demand one thing of you, not by auto- cratic mandate because they are the opposite of a constituted authority, but by a no less potential pressure, which all of us feel, when we come in- to contact with childhood under privi- lege or responsibility, to be God-im- planted in the child to keep us true. That one thing is comscientiousness, I

need not explainit. I need only say,

Only those who have beea its vic- tims—whether for a shorter or longer period—in ite miider forms or in its more acute forms, can really have any correct conception of the excruciating agony that comes to the sufferer from

Only those who have been its vic- tims and have been cared by that mest remedy,

stances which through cold and expos- ure collect in the joints and musctes, eause swellings, stiffenings, inflamma tion and oftimes cripple and incapac - itate thoee who have been so unfor- tumate as to be caught in Its meshes.

South /.merican Rheumatic Cure is & epecific tor Rheumatism and Neural gia in all its forins, It ia not an ex- periment, It is compounded on the most scientific principles known in

concentrated essence of the best and mest potent ingredients reeognized as beiog the moat searching and healing. The formula ie the outcome of years of study on Rheumatism in all its forme; ite cautes snd medicines that are cal- culated to give the quickest relief and are most promising of a permanent cure. That the highest results have been attained by the South American Rheumatic Cure that have been at- tained by any remedy of modern times is attested by the splendid testimony, the thankful words, the encouragement and faith shown in it by the hundreds and hundreds who have over their own signatures told how it has healed those who have been bed-ridden for years-— those who have through its use “thrown away the crutches”—those whose stiffoed joints that were affected by every whim of the weather — those who bave suffered the deathly pains and pangs that are incident to the in- flammatory aud neuralgic forms of Rheumatism.

| modern medical scienee. It is the

pend upon any worker to be true. If you lightly be unpunctual or irregular for any consideration whatsoever, your pupils will assign lack of conscientious- ness in you as a cause, and you will lose their respect, besides disarranging the school generally.

LESSONS.

There should be thoroughness of | preparation on the part of the teacher. This is truistic.. The secret of spell under an orator is the orator’s prepara- tion for his effort. Inspiration is a mischievous delusion in a teacher of any kind. You cannot empty out of a vessel that wherewith it has not pre-| viously been filled. Any speaker who affects divine afflatus in order to be deified as a Mercurius is a pious fraud. A teacher must at all times be com- pletely full of his or her lesson after faithful and accurate study. I do not advance this to make your work more difficult, but, on the contrary, to make it more pleasant. There is nothing which is calculated to give one a feel- ing of exhilaration and complete satis- faction like what one experiences in the consciousness of a work well wrought, like preparing your lesson. It is the secret of interesting your pupils and making them love your lessons. The only book in evidence during your lesson should be your own Bible, and I would like in advanced classes alsc a blackboard to impress points. Your lessons must have continuity of course. Let it be your aim to lead your children up to the higher know- ledge of God and the great doctrines , of our holy religion, “line upon line.’ ‘ For this you will appreciate the Lesson Helps provided by specialists.

THE IDEAL SUPERINTENDENT.

[ There are at least two personalities connected with this institution which are practically indispensable to the

bene esse of the Sunday School. One is the Superintendent. We all have our ideal of the Superintendent. But

to some schools he is, alas, only an aspiration, a desideratum and nothing beyond, i.e. he is not found in the parish. This is for the most part be- cause, perhaps, it is so difficult an office to fill, It has many and many a time fallen to the lot of women to do this, and the names of such are always spoken with veneration and re- gard. Yet weall acknowledge it to be more appropriate to men. If there be one man let him be a Superintendent. } There should ‘be two men at least in every Sunday School. Hence every Sunday School should have a male; Superintendent. What is the type of man required ?

(1) He must possess strong vitality, ability and energy. (2) He must be able to keep in touch with the bound- ing exuberance of youth and at the same time belong emphatically to the order of vertebrates. (3) He ought always to be well acquainted with all new notions and plans of Sunday School work. (4) He must be method- ical and business-like in details. (5) He must have a little knowledge of music. (6) He must be enthusiastic.

Immediately does he sit down to read it through and in due course comes to the conclusion that he has got pretty nearly every disease described in it. This then is the ideal, if you please, and [ might now add that he should have a memory for faces and names, (Christian names), not only in the §S, S. but on the street as well. He must be a bit of a catechist. It must also ai- ways be assumed by him that he is subordinate to his rector. I have heard

of a clergyman ina S. S. Conference

thus describe his superintendent: In one particular he forms a striking con- trast to Satan. We are told that if you resist the devil he will flee from you. Resist my superintendent and he will fly at you! He must be a layman al- ways, Says one, and a business man al- ways. You know what I mean. A business man is never a gentleman of leisure. The two most effectual super- intendents I have ever met was a judge of the supreme court of his province, and the biggest merchant and the busiest merchant of his county. The latter was one whom I induced to take up the work, and yet he was spoken of to me as being a man who on account of the multiplicity of his business cares was signified to me as one who would probably fill an early grave. He must impart exact business-like ways to every department of the school. He

; must be ready for self-denial and have

a“ spirit of holy zeal not tinged by de- + -€ for personal distinction so much as ive of Christ and solicitation for the s uls of the growing generation (; vena man who has a grasp of the | ctofthe human race being a vast }' rennial living organism, passing t ‘rough ages of development, and you l..we useful man, the man of greatest possibilities as a worker that you can find. All honor ®to the business man who gives up his Sunday afternoon to do Christ’s primary fundamental work, after a busy week. He may, however, be blessed through his opportunity for change of work. If in any connection the poet be proven right in saying that absence of occupa- tion is not rest, it is in connection with the typical business men of this fever- ish age. But in spite of ‘this let us honor and value him tor his work.

The Ideal Rector—in connection with his position as real head of the S.

|S. work in his parish. He is the other

personality. “150 years ago a tiny seed dropped by the Great Sower into the heart of one of His humble servants, and since then under the Holy Spirit having overspread amongst Christian communities of English-speaking Anglo-Saxons, the ideal rector will esti- mate at full value this agency whose raison @ etre it ishis tool ate to question and use it to the best advantage He will be present as often as in these days ef overworked ciergy he can.
