THE TEACHERS INSTALLED.
inaugural Ceremonies Were Used at

School Teachers.

AT the Methodist church Sunday
morning DR.. Youngman introduced q
new feature in regard to the beginning
of the work of the Sunday school teach
ors in that church. He preached very
helpful sermon 20 them in the way of
showing them their responsihi hilities in
connection with educating the youthful
mind along religious lines. and urging
the parents themselves to grasp some
thing Of the Importance of the work by
aiding the teacher in every possible
way.
At the close OF the servics the inaug-
ural ceremonies were held and the
teachers gave pledge of their fidelity
to the work and the congregation gave
witness to The pledge by rising to it's
feet, and which a'so bound the congre-
cation to support the teachers in edu-
eating the minds of the children to
religious life. The ceremony was inn
pressive and was calculated to impress
the teachers and the scholars alike of
what the work meant to those engaged
in it. Dr. Youngman thought the
teacher should be encouraged in every
possible way, for the work they were
performing was gratuitous and oftimes
they were censured when praise would
be much better.
