Somebody loudly asked me who that

The person who made this inquiry was

to Hortense that the familiar term of en-

CORR ESPONDENCE
The Sunday School.

To tho Editor Of The CARBON ADVOCATE;
SIR: We thank you for the kind offe
you have made to the Sunday School
teachers, allowing them the free use of
the columns OF your paper for such
matters as may be of interest to the
Sunday School cause. Let us first start
at the teacher; for as he looks over the
widening field Of labor and of iniu.
enee, the old problem returns with re-
newed force; How shall / so teach the
word OF God that each member Of my
class may become devout, intelligent
and efficient Christian? All class work
in tie Bible School should be done
with view to the conversion Of the
scholar, and his subsequent growth in
grace. To be able TO do this, the teach
eI s work must be of such a character
that IL can be supplemented by the
Spirit of God, and this will only come
through the quickening influence OF his
own vital godliness. Bible-school in
structian has this distinctive quality: it
aims to produce experience, rather than
learning, and to make that experience
the regulator of the life. This intro
spectivr work, set forward by the di.
viT.e Spirit, requires that the teacher
shall himself be the living expnnent of
that faith and spiritual disoernment
which he seeks to cultivate in the class.
In preparing r Mbie lesson for the pur-
pose Of extending Christian experience,
no must be Rs much of learner before
God as his class are learners from him.

ment as he draws from the lesson b y
may communicate, and no more. This
vital Christian experience is in itself
an expounder of Gods word, and thus
taught of God, he may not only prayer
fully but hopefully begin the practical
part Of his work In the class. And tho
teacher willaccomplish most, spiritually,
who seeks to lead his class only through
those avenues by which he himself
leans on God. because here lies his real
power. 1t NAV be through trust, like
David; or faith, like abraham; or buff
fetinI, like Paul; or 1t may I've submis-
sive love, or obedient love; but through
s0me one or more Of hese an 4 kindred
experiences, In which the soul comes
nearer ~ Him than through any other.
God has apprentceh every Christian to
himself, To one he gives trust, to an
other faith, to another brotherly love,
and makes the apprenticeship and disci-
pline so perfect that this distinctive ele-
ment Of Christian character In the indi-
vidual who possesses 1t surpassps all his
other powers and efficiency. The hum.
blpst saint, conscious of his vital union
with God, through this experience will
accomplish work beyond the power OF
the highest purely human intellect.

after thorough trial by innumerable
living witnesses, has proved itself THE
MEDICINE OF THE AGE. II is
an internal and external remedy. One
positive proof of its efficacy is that its
sales have constantly increased, and
wholly upon its own merits. The effect
of the
PAIN KILLER
upon the patient when taken internally
IN case of Cold, Cough, Bowel Com
plaiht, Cholera, Dysentery, and other
afiilctioDs Of the system has been truly
wonderful, and has won for II a name
among medical preparations that can
never be forgotten. Its success in Ire.
moving pain, as an external remedy, in
cases Of Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains,
Cuts, Sings of Insects, and other
causes Of suffering, has secured for Il
such host of testimony, as an infalli.
bic remedy, that it will be handed
down to p0sterity as one OF tne great
est medical discoveries of the nine
teenth century.
THE PAIN-KILLER
derives much Of its popularity from the
simplicity attending its use, which gives
IL peculiar value in family. The
various diseases which may be reached
by it, and In their incipient case eradi-
Gated, are among those which are pecu-
llarly fatal II allowed to run; but the
curative magic OF this preparation at
once dlsarms them of their terrors. In
all respects 1t fulflls the conditions OF
a popular medicine.
