THE UNSUCCESSFUL TEACHER.
Apparent Failure should Not DIscour,
nEe the FaIthfuI worker.

Not many years ago boy was sent
! from his home in the west TO one of
our New England fitting schools. He
was the only son of rich and influential
parents, and had, unfortunately, been
little restrained or controlled.
The four years he spent in the fit
ting school were apparently worse than
wasted. He soon became the leader
OF what is known as the wild gang;"
and just gaining marks enough 10 pass
his examinations-just clever enough
not TO be caught too often in fragrant
offenses; continually balancing, MS II
were, on the edge Of disgrace and ex-
pulsion-he passed through the school.
Again and again the head master called
this unruly lad TO his study, and grave
ly and gently reproved and admonished
him. Sometimes he prayed with the
hayward boy. All this was 20 no pur-
pose. Alone OF all the class, this one
lad could not be impressed, and was
unresponsiye TO the appeal of the wise
and good man who sought TO arouse
the dormant manliness in him; nor did
TIE noble character and rare Christian
grace OF the great teacher avail more
than his words.
Then the lad went to college, and
continuing his thoughtless career, he
became the leader OF the willful, way
ward and unruly element in the class.
AS such he was marked by his instruct
ors. In this course he persisted for
more than n year. Then suddenly a
great change came.
From being the boisterous leader OF
mischief and folly, he became silent, re-
served, studious, self-respecting. Some
one noted the fact that the change was
coincident with the death Of the great
head master in the school where the
boy had fitted for college. But the
young man did not give his confidence
10 anyone. He became ascetic in his
habits and austere in his manner.
After about a year Of self-training,
he timidly asked 10 be allowed to pre-
pare himself for joining the church.
Strangely enough, he insisted upon go
ing back TO his old school, the scene OF
his boyish extravaganza and folly,
where the memory Of his misdeeds had
not yet died away, and there joining
the church he had once openly scorned.
When asked why he did so, he an
swered with unsteady lips and swim
ming eyes:
There was a good man. KNEW him,
and be is dead. He helped many a way
ward soul, and he has helped me-" Fur
ther he did not explain.
1t seems probable that this good man
was the noble teacher who had often
mourned his failure to direct that one
boy Alright. 1t may be that his death
was thus transmitted into life--a life
young, vigorous, strong TO withstand
and 20 combat evil.
We never know where the story Of
our lives will end, nor who will be our
spiritual heirs. We may seem TO fail
utterly, and yet triumph ultimately.
Discouragement need have no place,
then, in the heart OF the faithful sower
OF llfe's seed, though the field he Is set
20 cultivate seems TO be altogether
stony and unproductive.-Youth's Com
Danion
