terest and benefit our Sunday School
scholars. There has been an advance and
an improvement in the method of present
| ing truth, though not as some teach, an
| improved truth. in the last few years
and improvements are yet making as
much as in other sciences. Few but our
| fogy farmers gather their hay crops or
their grain, as they did fifty years ago,
yet many of our Sunday School teachers
are pursuing the same course as then. Has
there been no improvements in our mode
of common school teaching? So there
has in Sunday School teachers. Come out
and learn what some of them are.

with the hot Goals from the furnace pouring
down on his body. Fer two hours and q
