GA LITTLE CHILD SHALL
LEAD THEM"

An infdel father was for some
time laid aside by sickness. When
visited by his skeptical companions
he was fond of displaying on his bed
board on which he had impiously
chalked, "God is nowhere" Just
after one of these visits, his favorite
child entered the room. He kissed
her, and lifted her on to the bed. In
stantlY the eyes of the dear child fell
on the board. She began spelling
out the letters one by one, and then
exclaimed, why, papa, it is, God
is now here y The child repeated
these words several times with much
animation. The astonished father
was silent. The scoffer's tongue
clave to the roof of his mouth. The
repeated words of his child went as
arrows to his heart. The remem-
brance of his own childhood flashed
in moment before his vision, and
he saw himself by his beloved but
now departed mothers side, repeat
ing to her the texts she had early
taught him, and among them was,
Thou God seest me-" 1t was the
turning-point in the infdePs life.
The Holy Spirit strove powerfully
with him. Like the poor Publican.
he prayed, "God be merciful to me &
sinnerl' The seeking sinner and the
waiting Saviour met, and there was
JOY in heaven over the repentant an6
now believing father. Often has he
since then, testified, with fearful eyes
and thankful heart, "Ah, it was Goo
in his rich mercy who sent my dea
child on that memorable morning t.
lead me from the depths of infidelit,
to himself. "-ChTistidn Weekly.

whose first letter represents a new
sound, as rat. In very short time
the pupil will be able to give num-
Der of sounds as soon as he sees
their representatives. This practice
should be continued through the di-
ferent grades until the pupil is as ia
miliar with the elementary sounds
and all possible combinations thereof
as he is with his name. By thus sup
plementing the sense of sight by that
of hearing, our second difficulty, care
less and incorrect pronunciation, is
overcome.
The oral, or letter method should
succeed the other two. After the
beginner has mastered few reading
lessons, select a short sentence-and
let it be an interesting one, if posi-
ble-print 1t upon the board and call
the pupils attention to the fact that
the words are made up of parts. Let
him count the parts in each word,
tell him that these parts are called
letters and each has a name by which
it is always called. Put into his hands
cards with letter printed upon
each; let him find the card upon
which is printed letter like the one
to which you point on the board, tell
him its name and let him repeat it I'M
til he knows it; continue until he has
learned the names of the letters in
the first word, then let him arrange
the cards so as to spell the word !;
then let him close his eyes and repeat
the letters. Teach each word thus,
and then let him take the cards to
his seat and arrange the sentence as
it is on the board. This is studying
the lesson. At the next recitation
review and drill until the words of
| the entire sentence can be spelled in
order. Then let him write the SEN
tence on the board. Assign the next
lesson in similar manner. Until
a pupil is well advanced, let the spell
ling lessons consist of sentences cop
led from reading lessons rather than
lists Of meaningless words from q
spelling book. In the writing of the
lessons insist that the copy reproduce
the model in every particular, capital
letter, for capital letter, and punctu-
alton mark for punctuation mark. If
you have never tried this plan you
can have no idea how rapidly, even
young children, will learn to write
neatly and correctly.
By thus uniting these methods the
difficulties of spelling arising from
the photography of our language and
the ability of the pupil will be much
more easily overcome than by the ex-
elusive use Of any one method.
The lack of time can be remedieC
by a close classification of studies sc
as to have the least possible number
of recitations.
The opposition to new methods
can be overthrown by teachers who
have tact.
We are told that if we would Learn
to do thing aoe must do it. There
fore, teachers, if your pupils are t.
learn to spell, you must make then
spell. Spell orally, spell phonetical
ly, spell Geographically. Requir
them to spell all new and importan
words in each study, and drill partic
ularly on all short words in common
use which are liable to be misspelled

While Nihilism has been threaten
ing Russia with social chaos, there
has been quietly going on a deeply
interesting religious awakening among
the peasants, especially in the south
ern part of the empire, that betokens
good. The name given to the sub
jects of this religious movement is
Stundists. That is, they are prayer
meeting persons. They meet to read
the Scriptures, sing gospel hymns
and pray. A town where the Stun
dists have established themselves is
distinguished from other Russian
towns by its cleanliness and thrift,
the diminution of drunkenness, the
prompt payment of public taxes, the
industry, frugality and honesty of
the people. No threat of noble or
magistrate, no pressure of necessity,
no tears of wife or children, no pros
pect of certain ruin, could keep a
peasant from indulging in drunken
ness. But what none of these things
could do has been accomplished by
the grace of God through the instru-
mentality of these prayer-meetings.
And not in the South of Russia. but
in st. Petersburg and in Northern
Ural, these evangelical meetings have
been established. The priests OF
the Greek Church and their adherents
oppose them fiercely, but still the
work goes on. This is the bow oil
promise in the storm cloud that over
hangs Russia.-Religious Herald.
