looking up. We must teach looking up.
o. p. Mead, Last Sabbath a teacher said
to me / cannot stay but little while.
When he went out, soon half of his class
went out also. Next time will say to such

is to control that boy. Teachers must love
their classes for Christs sake.

The next subject was "'rhe relation OF
biblical study to christian experience in
