SUNDAY SCHOOLS GATHER.


Greet each member Of the class with a
smile and a kind word. Have the les I
son well prepared, especially tho part |
adapted to thelittle minds. Come from
the closet Of secret prayer with the
1 heart just bubbling over with love for 4
| Christ and His cause. Visit the child |
ron in their homes. Let them know !
/ you are interested in them. Take them
daily TO throne Of prayer. II they /
have JOY rejoice with them, IL sorrow,
weep with them.
Rev. Smith related an incident along
his line which I think worth repeating.
His ,ughter IA young LADY, had the in
faat class. One morning while seated
1t the breakfast table small girl came
in weeping like her little heart would
( break. She laid "Oh, Miss Lois, my
little baby brother is dead. Mamma
scot me to tell the pastor and I came to
tell you too, knew you would be so
sorry too and would help me cry" She
/ folded the little one in her arms and
they mingled their tears together. At
! ter little while the little Que look d NJ
through her Tears aud said ''Oh, feel
50 much better now, just couldn't cry
all by myself" May we oil have more
sympathy for the little ones and by our
daily walk try to lead them unto Him
who said "Sutfer the litlls ONES to come
uuto me and forbid them not for of such
is the kingdom Of God"
The next was concerning tn" Sunday
school superintendent. Some Of the I
questions rsked were: Is it essential be /
/ be a converted man. Should he teach /
class. Should he review the lesson or IL 1
I some visiting pastor or superintendent 1
