Since then have not seen him, for the
paths that crossed diverged again. Yet, as
all men know, he carried out his gospel.
There he sat till his life's eI;d, whether by
Gods grace or the devils help know not.
But there he sat, and never did he empty
his basket lest, having given all. he should
have nothing to carry to market. 1t is
not for me to judge him now; yet then,
when had the choice set before me. there
in his own palace, had passed my verdict.

on some relic of her fathers wooing, a
faded wreath that he has given her mother
or ncsegay tied with ribbon and a poem
attached thereto? She will look in her
fathers face and thence to where her
mother sits at her needlework just where
she has sat at her needlework these twenty
years, with her old kind smile and comfort
able eyes. The girl loves her, loves her

SUNDAY SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

1t is to be regretted, that after all
the wise and good things which have
been written and spoken on this sub
ject, there should be so many schools,
especially in our cities and large
towns, in which the neglect of disci-
pline is such an obvious and greivious
evil
1t is not to be expected that every
teacher in a Sunday school will be
perfectly qualified in all respects for
his duty. Some may succeed in win
ming the affections Of a class, who fail
in discipline, others may succeed
in what is called discipline, but fail
to gain the love and confidence Of
their pupils. The most punctual
teachers are not always happy in their
mode of teaching, and sometimes a
teacher Of admirable qualifications
may be habitually behind the time.
These inequalities are unhappy and
are to be provided for, as far as pcs.
slble, in the general superintendent
of the school. And it is to this poin
that your attention is now directed.
We are puTsuaded that there is moth

tent, the evil which we have men.
toned, but a conviction that it ex-
lists, and a sincere desire and effort TO
correct it. A Sunday school should
be as orderly as q Christian congrega-
tion.
The school is assembled on sacred
day for purpose as elevating and as
holy as that which gathers ''the great
congregation" The truths which
are taught In the school are one az d
the same with those taught in the
Sanctuary" The end Of the ser
vices in both places is the same-viz:
The salvation OF souls. Now it VIII

and this cannot be expected where
there is not an outward propriety of

no teacher is justified in proceeding

the wounds of friend are faithful
