prayer by Rev. Mr.. Hall, of Laramie,
and singing of hymn 81 need Thee
every hour" Owing to the absence of
some who were to have taken part, the
published program was not strictly car
ried out. 1.-The Teachers Reward''
was spoken of briefly by Mr.. @. b.
Taylor, who pointed cut some of the
blessings that go to make up that re-
ward, and some of the means necessary
to obtain it.
He was followed by Rev. Sanders in
some able remarks as to the dignity of
the teachers work, and Rev. Banks,
who, with his usual e~loquence, explain
ed somewhat of the glorious nature of
the reward of the Sabbath school
teachers.
Mr.. Uhlin made a few remarks as to
the teachers responsibility, and Presi-
dent Peabody earnestly set forth the
fact that the teachers work is like
sowing seed in the night. You cannot
seed the seed fall nor can you see it
after it falls; but still it is there and
will surely spring up and bear fruit.
So the teacher cannot always see his
reward, but it will surely come.
Rev. Mr.. Hall, in a forcible manner,
showed that it was impossible to esti-
mate the reward of the teacher which
the future life has in store.
MIR. MILFORD followed with a short
address, in which he stated that his
idea of the teachers service was a ser
vice Of love, and that we should not
expect n reward for it.
A recess Of five minutes was then
taken, after which the hymn "What
shall the Harvest be" was sung, Mr..
Clark singing the solo and the audience
joining the chorus.
Mr.. j. S. Taylor then spoke on GLOW
to prepare the lesson" lie thought
that in order to prepare the lesson the
teacher must first prepare himself.
