SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE
 OF ALABAMA CONFERENCE
Prof. H. N. Hamill Spoke on "Ihe Problem Of a Teacher Welcome Address Delivered by
 George StOwerS of Dexter Avenue.

, heart depends not so much upon the con- version of the adult as upon the inculca- ton of grace in the child by the work of
 the teacher.
 Under the new order. the preacher no
 longer has the time to devote to teaching children. The burden that once Belonged | to him has been laid on the heart and
 mind of the teacher The preacher comes | before the teacher. but the teacher must also be preacher.
 In his talk of the burden of the teacher pr. Hamill said he wished not to be mis- construed as pessimist. He then quoted | good definition of a pessimist as lone who, given choice of two evils. takes both."
 Another burden that the trend of the times has laid upon the Sunday school | teacher is the gradual exclusion of the Bible from the public schools. The | progressive spirit of the times demands
 this, and pr. Hamill said that so far
 as he was concerned he would greatly pre-
 fer that the Bible be kept out of the
 pubic school rather than see 1t become
 football between the demagogue and the | politician, the Catholic and the Protestant, the Jew and the Gentle.
 Speaking of the equipment of the Sun | day school teacher Dr. Hamll said that he should have a larger view of the Bible. The modern Sunday school has every | thing that money can buy. all the litera- ture sthat presses can print; in fact an Aladdin's lamp for procuring everything | helpful in the religious instruction of the | child. He drew a striking picture of the | old method of fifty years ago and the | present.
 | pr. Hamill closed with a beautiful legend which illustrated the teacher as | the chosen benefactor" of the child. The metings will continue through to- | day and tomorrow at the Sunday school | room of the Court Street Methodist | Church The hours are 1030 a. m.. ?.
 m and 7:So p. m.
