and use International lesson leaves, not
been so well attended as it should have
been. average attendance 80, the great
want we feel we need is efficient faithful
teachers, teachers meeting is also need
ed We find that disappointment Of a
scholar in teacher is often attended by
absence from school. If we had teach
ers' meeting could greatly strengthen
the school. Teachers are more delin-
quent than scholars.

ask for greater pouring out of his
spirit upon the schools, and by his grace
we may faithfully seek the salvation Of
souls outside his kindom, and trust in
Jesus to bring to him all who are stran-
gers to him and the Sunday School.
