DaVids greatest work was done before he
was tWenty-one. You can appeal to the
nature of the child with more effect than to
those Of maturer age. There isn't any bet
ter material for development than that Of
the children we meet each Sunday.
we must not be repealed If the child
asks many questions. There is not COM
petent teacher who cannot find some sort of
an answer for every question that the pu-
Pill can ask.
Second. Every teacher loves good tools.
The tool is the Bible. He or she has but
one duty to perform, that is to put the
BiDie into the child and 1t can be done II
the teacher goes about 1t In the right way
Third. We have the best helper. The
Holy Spirit Is my co-worker. Books will
avail nothing IL we do not have the CO.
operation of the Holy Spirit. l believe the
Holy Spirit is always waiting for the teach
er to ask his accompaniment.
Fourth. We aim at the best results 1t
is fine thing to develop the child to the
fullest extent. 1t Is the finest thing to see
children shooting along morally and re-
ifgiously. and become perfect boys and girls
in Christ Jesus"
Remarks by Mr.. ReynOldx.
Mr.. William Reynolds of Peoria. ILL.,, in
ternational field superintendent, spoke
briefly, In part as follows: "The greatest
thing In the wcrld is teaching, because
Jesus Christ was the great teacher. What
Gid He teach? He taught His own word
Ii you teachers II ink teaching the Word Of
God is small thing, you had better move
or or move out, but at any rate gel a move
on you. Love your work, or you won't sue
coed, and If you do not love it you had bet
ter quit and get cut" MIR. Reynolds closed
MS remarks by relating in thrilling man.

"A conference on the importance of teach
els meetings was conducted by DIR. Schauf-
ner, who, among much else, said: There
are very few teachers who do not need the
II Structlon that can be received at a teach
ers' meeting. provided the teacher who con-
ducts 1t Is Gcod one. Many teachers
meetings are talked to death, and | am
sorry to say that most of the killing is done
by preachers themselves.
There are some teachers who if they
think you intend to ask them any ques-
tons won't con e to the meeting The ques-
ton must be graded to the caliber of the
teacher.
These meetings are more successful if
held In private houses. but If there are no
houses large enough 1t Is best to hold them
In the lecture room. Teachers meetings
must by all means be conference meetings.
Il do not think that it is a wise thing 20
talk about vital doctrinal points in teach
ers' meeting, because it may lead to trou-
bic.
1T is very important to have the right
person to lead the meeting. This need not
OF necessity be the superintendent: some
umcS primary teacher can instruct the
teachers meeting better than the superin-
