prosperous teachers meeting and thorough
study of the Bible together, made

of the church of those who engaged, better
teachers and more spiritual power in the
Sunday-school.
Rev. Mr. Davis, of the A. NJ. Z. school,
said we live in an age of progress; he was
much pleased with the system of teaching
nowadays. Said his school held teachers
meetings; but found it difficult to secure
faithful attendance.
Prof, Towne said the object was not
for the superintendent to give model OF
teaching; teachers should teach according
to age and condition of the pupils; get en-
thusiasm and teach in your own way,
Mr.. Wheeler did not believe in teachers
meetings, excepting Tor devotional exercis-
es. His plan was to let the teacher work
out the lesson for himself Teachers know
what preparation will reach their schol-
airs best; and any interference with
this does more harm than good. He
held one in his school sometimes

Mrs. p. W. Barclay believed the teachers

teachers have studied the lesson before
coming to the meeting, they get additional
and valuable thoughts; Should be in favor
of it to the end of her days.
Mr.. Leighton, said as teacher that he
entirely disagreed with Mr.. Wheeler; that
he would rather have fifteen minutes in
teachers meeting, properly conducted, than
"helps;' he always felt benefited and bet

fault if not success; by all means a live
Sunday school should have teachers meet

Prof jerome said, the teacher need not |
lose his individuality in the teachers meet
ing; every successful Sunday school should
have teachers meeting let the pastor lead;
We are not to 90 to learn the lesson; study
before and exchange thoughts; then have
a teachers council.
Time upon this topic extended fifteen
minutes.-Rcv. Mr.. Maxy said they had
teachers meeting in his charge; that they
could not live and do so well without them.
