the desired tool. The party gathered
around him, including some Of his fell

open the package. in the meantime
making the remark: IN show YOU

the friend had assured him that he had
brought him the kind of hammer used

affectionately unwound the wraps. and,
as he took the tool and handed it over
to his friends, he said: There, look at
that" One of his friends did so, and
read the trademark on the hammer:

The steady progress of missionary
work in India may be judged of by what
is said by the Rev. James Smith, an
English Baptist missionary of long ex-
perience in Delhi. He says that thirty
years ago it was considered encouraging
if a new convert could be reported every
two or three years. Now, at every mis-
sion station. they are counted by scores
in each year.
The suggestive and inspiring teacher
is the man who is born to his work
and who alone should perform it. A
patron of q school was once heard
to say: Il wish we could get such
a teacher as we had last year; he taught
the children hundreds of things they
never thought of before. and my boy
has pestered me with questions ever
since; he will scarcely give ME any rest;
he tells me everything he has heard there
and relates to me all the stories in his
reading book and comments upon every
thing. Such a teacher has a value be-
yond expression; he remains an inspir-
ing influence in his pupils lives to the
end of them. These teachers may be
found and they are always appreciated
abstractly; it has not been discovered
that they are paid more literally than are
the billiards of their professionally Y.
