Iron County Teachers.

Ed. Register-Will you kindly allow Black
River to be defended through your columns?
Here, as in other places, we have thieves.
murderers, scandal mongers and other bad
characters; yet amidst it all some have re-
tanned their integrity. We might say IN the
language of Holy Writ, "Can any good thing
come out of Nazareth! come and see." Our
teachers have been slandered, and yet
have not heard Of one who could not spell
"Salem." Neither are there any from Black
River who have failed to get certificate to
teach under the new law. But do happen
to know of one applicant. from Washington
county and also one from Reynolds who
failed to get a certificate in Iron county.
Prof. Scott has been faithful servant to the
people of our county, and now that he has
gone to new fields of labor let Us remember
him in all kindness and not allow him to be
censured for doing his duty thoroughly and
well. AS a teacher of several years eyper-
fence 1 wish to say that the grade required
on a teachers certificate under old law was
entirely too low, and that if any teacher has
failed under the new law it is because he
has not studied enough. As for Mr.. Gala
han il cannot be denied that he Is scholar
and a gentleman, and he is net at present
sojourning on BLACK RIVER.

MORNING SESSION.
The Iron County Teachers Association, in
its third meeting at the Ironton public
school building, was called to order at 1880
A. NJ. November 30th,by Pres't. A. P. Vance.
The song, 81 Will Sing of My Redeemer,"
preceded the earnest prayer of Prof. c. E.
Heaton, after which came the reading Of the
minutes of last meeting.
Quite an animated discussion of the lee
ture, Authority in the Schoolroom," as de-
llyered by Prof. c. E. Heaton at last meet
ing,opened. the excerises. Prof. Fox claim
ed that too much authority should not be
displayed in the schoolroom, but the teacher
should be the master when it came to tests.
Prof. DeHaven viewed the subject practic-
ally when he said it required physical as
we'll as mental ability to back the teacher.
Prof. G. E. Heaton occupied about 20 min
utes relating his methods of teaching civil
government-the legislative branch. This
called forth a protracted discussion by Profs.
DeHaven, Fox. Martin and Maston. Profs.
Martin and Fox advocated teaching civil
government in connection with history, while
Prof. DeHaven was opposed to it, for the
reason that those pupils who were studying
history could not comprehend civil govern
ment. Prof. Maston did not believe in hav
ing pupils memorize what they do not I'M
derstand, nor combining them strictly to
definitions, but believed in giving practical
Illustrations to explain civil government.
All the time for the morning session hav-
ing been consumed by the discussion of the
above named topics, motion was made and
carried that those who were on duty for
certain time should not be allowed to go
beyond, but should be confined strictly to
that time. The two subjects, methods In
Arithmetic" and "Methods.in Geography"
were postponed till afternoon.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The President called the Association to
order at 80 P. NJ. After several songs by
the music-loving teachers (of whom there
were present goodly numberl Prof. 81 eaton,
in the absence of vice-President s. E. De-
Haven, was invited to take the chair while
Prof. A. P. Vance gave US talk on eCom-
pound Numbers" His methods on that
subject, like all other of his methods on diff
ferent branches, were practical. Prot. E. j.
Martin led the discussion.
'Methods in Geography" by Miss Rlngo,
of the Ironton intermediate Department.
next came In order. Discussion by Prof.

the ministry and the eldership and
the earnest laity, lay sufficient stress
upon this thought of the duty of con-
stantly working for and expecting
the harvests. Sometimes a sentiment
tai idea gets abroad, that ministers
and churches must work and the
Lord will send the fruit sooner or
later, when he sees fit, without refer
ence to their use of means. Or they
think it forcing the Lords purpose to
hold extra meetings, or to make
specialefforts in connection with COM
munion services, as if showers of
heavenly blessings were to be waited
for as idly and helplessly as summer
rains. This is singular weakness
that itself results in death and loss of
souls. Merely "holding their own"
is not doing the Lords work, which
is to win souls.
Churches should work for and eX-
pect regular harvests. Ministers
should have this in view constantly
in their labors and should cultivate
in their fiocks this desire and eXpec-
tation. Revivals need not be spas
modic and fitful. Mere excitement,
or even multiplied meetings and
deepened interest, is not necessarily
revival. The very term "revivaP
may tend to obscure our views of the
end to be sought. Conversions of
sinners and quickened conscience,
an intensifying of the sense of spirit
ual obligation and increased purity
of Christian life; these things denote
the harvest time. Such seasons
should come regularly as a result of
steady toll and healthful spiritual
life and worship through the year.
We nave sometimes heard of minis
tiers who have preached many years
in this Christian land without con-
versions under their ministry. Sure
ly something was seriously wrong.
That is not the Lords way. 1T is
not for this that the pulpit is
ordained of God. There is no Scrip
, ture warrant for a barren ministry.
For the culture of grace in believers,
which is a part of the minister's duty,
requires the conversion of others for
its full strengthening and fruition.
And is not this the dispensation OF
the Holy Spirit? A church without
conversions is fallow ground. A
) ministry without converts is a failure.
God sends men to preach that souls
may be converted first and built up
in the faith and life afterward. Min
listers should regularly expect to see
souls born again. They should watch
for souls. For this the eldership and
the church should labor and pray
/. The people who do not expect har'
| vest will not get harvest. Every
year the young should be gathered in
: and strangers from outside should be
: brought to Christ. A year without
the harvest, makes hard times in the
church. Mid Continent.

Fruit Gathering.

1t is great pleasure to note the
many recent reports from churches,
east and west, of spiritual refresh
ment. An unusually large number
of additions have been made in vari-
Gus congregations, while Christians
themselves have been much revived.
This is as it should be. This is pre-
cisely what the people of God should
expect.
In the natural world harvcsts come
every year. When the gathering
season fails, there is famine and suf-
fering. The natural world cannot go
for several seasons without the time
of fruits. So also should it be in the
spiritual fields. Expectation of the
harvest should fill every Christian
mind and heart. For without the
harvest, spiritual death and suffering
must follow.
Every part of the labor of the farm
er holds in view distinctly the distant
garnering of the crops. To this end
the fields are ploughed and the clods
are broken up. To this end are the
seed.sowing, the tending of the grow
ing grain, the cultivating or wedding,
or if needs be watering the young
plants. The end of all culture is har-
vesting.

An Honest Man Found.

Following is an extract from the
New York correspondence of the
Nashville Southern Lumberman:
1t has been said that "all men are
honest" The author ofa certain log
book don't agree with the author of
the saying. He used to, and went SO
far as to have printed large number
of red circulars stating the fact. He
said that GAIL men are honest" but
more especially was this the case
with lumbermen. They,he thought,
had been dipped in honesty, as it
were, and it had stuck to them so
thick that they stood out: as shining
examples Of honest men. He said a
good deal more on his red circular
which he carefully folded and plac-
ing one in each book sent them to
lumbermen all over this broad land.
He also said on this red poster that
the receiver of the book, owing to. his
great quantity of native honesty,
could either return the book or the
price of it. This was weeks ago, and
to date one OF all the number sent out
had responded with his quarter.
This would have been a sad blow to
the author had it not been for the fact
that the one lone man who proved
the statement true lived in Ohio.
Native pride made up for the loss Of
the books, red posters and all.

How a Democrat Resigned.

Mt. CARMEL, ILL, June 7, 1889.
To Hon. B. Harrison, President, etc.:
Sir-By the grace of God and Grover
Cleveland / am postmaster at Mt.
Carmel. My official term will expire
January 20, 1890. In addition to edit
ing the mails of this city, l am also
the editor of the Mt. Carmel Regis
ter, a live, local Democratic newspa-
per, established in 1889, and publish
ed at 1925 year, cash in advance; q
discount of 90 per cent. to ministers
and presidents.
While the Office has agreed with
me, and / have, in the main, agreed
with the Office, and while might
reasonably entertain the hope Of
holding on for eight months longer,
yet I feel it my duty to tender you
my resignation.
Being a Democrat have preached
that "to the victors belong the
spoils.p ] feel disposed to practice
that which 1 preach.
Your immediate predecessor hoped
to build up his party by keeping
the opposition in Office. You are
probably aware, if your are at all ia
miliar with the vocabulary of true
and trite sayings, that his name is
now Dennis.
am moved further to tender you
my resignation because of the ankle
ty of a barnyard full of patriots to
succeed me. [ believe that tariff is
a tax. They do not. Therefore they
are of your own kith and kindred,
and he who provides not for his own
household is worse than an infidel. /
am told that you are lot built that
way.
But to resume the thread of my
discourse: The boys who are anxious
to be my successor are very hungry;
they have been feeding on shucks
and icicles for four weary years, the
official calf is fat and they yearn to
taste its tender joints. They fought
(among themselves,) bled (at the
nose,) are willing to die for the G. o
p. When asserted that you were
the Chinaman's candidate, and ate
rat tail soup with chop sticks, they
swore by Dudley and Foster that il
was a campaign canard, and threat
ened to detail blocks of five to fry the
fat out of me. Fortunately for nj
their threats were never carried int
execution. They sang "Grandpa'!
hat will just fit Benny" and did di
vers and many foolish things, none
of which would they have been gull
ty of doing had they not scented al
aroma of postoffice on the crispmorn
ing air. And the peans of prais
which they sounded when it became
evident that you chad got there
Eli" will ever be a Sahara in m.
memory,
For these and other reasons I'm
necessary to mention, 1 tender you
my resignation, with the hope tina
my successor will be animated by
similar spirit in 1893. If he is, you
Democratic successor will be spare
the painful necessity of turning tn
rascals out"
l am yours respectfully,
