or Junior league teacher to imprint and
impress a picture there that may be as
lasting IS the one at mothers knee. The
daily life and conversation of this
teacher must be such that the little ones
under her care may have explicit con-
tidence in all she says and does. You
know that children are natural critics
and can find out your motive much
sooner than those who are much older
and more experienced. They are also
natural imitators; they have ideals just
as truly as we have. And when we
league teachers are awake to the i'm
portant fact that we are living, moving,
real examples to those who are under
our care how much more effectual our.
work will become, and the seeds we are
planting will spring up, not on stony
ground, but will flourish and
bring forth precious souls to the
glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The junior league president must be
one who loves (not merely likes) her
work, her aim and purpose being the
welfare of precious souls in her keep
ing But if her work is not pleasant
and children are a nuisance Gas you
hear it commonly spoken of, then that
president had better resign that place
in favor of some one who may be less
qualified in many ways, but who loves
children and finds her greatest pleas
ure in working with and for them.
Each subject must be presented in
such simple, pleasant way that the
child will not feel that he is being
compelled to come, but that he may be
free and feel that at each meeting his
presence and help are conducive of the
best interest of his fellow helpers and
president. Let him know that you love
him and are interested in him. The

world will have no use for a junior

should have the presence of the Holy
Spirit as her teacher, leading and guild

helping her to say prayerfully and
truthfully, Suffer little children to

Let us early feel the responsibility

a great extent, will be held accountable

Ex-Governor J. E. Richards read a
paper on the subject of denominational
schools and took a position in favor
of sectarian or church institutions of
education. He thought the public
schools did not meet the requirements
of a religious and moral training.
DR. Van Seoy, president of the Mon
