Personal Responsibility.

When you are in the Sunday school
class. having feeling of personal re-
sponsibility will be your most important
duty. Think of the sacredness of the
privilege which is yours when you sit
down with other Bible students. Feel
responsible to your lesson to your fellow
students, to your teacher, to your class.
to your Sunday school, to yourself and,
above ALTO your God. Do not call
yourself a Sunday-school scholar"
That is mockery. Ityou notice you will
see but few scholars and many pupils.
Try to make your Sunday school class
the best. Have class spirit. By "class
spirit" do not mean the spirit college
boys have, when, on the twenty secord
of February, they play ridiculous tricks
upon the other classes. No, indeed; but
| do mean by "class spirit" to have an
enthusiastic, yet cheerful determination
to make your class the best.
When in Sunday-school be reverent
and attentive. Make good behavior
your motto.
A word to the parents. You are re-
sponsible for your children. Children
usually have the same ideas in regard to
church and Sunday-school that their
parents had. So. parents, are you set
ting the example in Sunday school work
that you wish your children to follow?
II not. why not? Is it too late to begin?
Responsibility of Children and Parents.
Children, do not think that all the
responsibility rests with your parents.
