the love of God in his heart. One
who lived a Christian every day,
who did not cheat nor defraud in
business, one who could be pointed

He also laid great stress on the
character of teachers that was
necessary. They must also be
full of religion; must know God
personality; must know how to
direct their pupils to the Way, the
Truth and the Life. 1t was splen-

there were only about $50 or 600

who attended Sunday school on
an average, while there arc in the
