CHILD LIFE.


Sunday school Teachers I'm COMEDIAN
Address by Rev. Thomas ID. Anderson
ON Child Life.
The December meeting OF the New York AssOcIa-
tion OF Sunday School Teachers was held last night
In the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian church. After
some preliminary exercises the Rev. Thomas d.
ANDERSON delivered an address. IN which he
said;-There is an ideal Sunday school,
where the children are inst little
less than the angels, and there is the real Sunday
scnoo, where there Is all the playfuness and will
Iuiness ana f0Tgetulness OF our dear children.
mink It s necessary that teacher should sympa.
thize with child life. l am speaking now to those
VINO teach children. There must be q sympathy
win child lie. There are two nves--the child's
life and the mans life. II we have
TRUE AND GOOD NATURE
OF our own we love to leave our warehouses and
offices to get back for few moments 10 our life as
children; Do we love to enter into the freshness
impart TO them the instruction which should make
an IMPRESSION on their hearts. There is whole
1oar w1ra IN the child Yoa have to put
can do this must not necessarily be a
genius. You all can do that. We shall see
then we shall know that we have found the key to
the hearts OF the children. II we can throw of our
brain then we are prepared to do this werk With
such feeling how delightful it will be to study our
lessons ana 10 break them up and impart them to
the children! Didn't Jesus take the children right
TO his heart OH child will understand that
You nave to break up your thoughts so as TO make
them
FIT TIE CHILDs MIND.
You must make them understand that yOu are
tnere because you love to be there among them.
our Christianity is sometimes too dull because we
90 not feel It's true spirit OF love and kindness. l
don't say visit your scholars, but do say that they
must see you at your homes.
we want TO see our children In our churches; we
want to see their impulses sanctifed by Jesus. And
rs there VIII be so many children in heaven want
70 see many children IN the Church Don't work
from
THE COLD COMMAND OF DUTY.
We can come into the world, into the life. OF
ch1dren; and the sweetest food, the richest
orchard that we can ENJOY in this life is the study
OF the child's heart.
The Rev. W. b. Craft said that out OF the $50
members of his church 40 took part in the Sunday
school. In his own church ne had seen the posi-
blity OF the conversion OF children. 1t seemed to
MIN that there was nothing that brought them so
close together as Christians as the Sunday school
work; nothing that made their hearts fresher and
was the source OF nOber and purer JOY.
Alter singing hymn the meeting adjourned.
