the Fastening OF the consummation Of
the Kingdom Of Christ. In meeting
be boys in the class the teacher must be
thoroughly prepared to teach. He will
fud the qgics, alert mind Of the boy
will iuterrogate with an iucisiveuess
that has 40 respect for the methods that
seek to compromise With half truths that
are some times worse than plain unvar-
nished falsehoods. The teacher was
warned asaius, ,1plistry aud intellectual
subteriuge These would never satisfy
the boy. Intellectual honesty must be
exalted. The teacher must deal fairly
with the boy and the Bible too. Ii he
cannot reconcile apparent contradictions
and conflicts between science and the
Bible, let him not be afraid to say so.
The boy viii respect him for it. On the
other hand to resort to different methods
will shake the boys faith not only in
the teacher but also in the Bible. In
conclusion Mr.. Reed reminded the audi
ence that the boys of today are the men
of tomorrow. and that one boy saved to
high purposes may in the time of great
crisis prove to he natiou's salvation.
Mr.. Reeds address was followed by
Mr.. Fuller with talk on the "Sunday
School and Citizenship" Mr.. Fuller
spoke fee,iusly OF the crying need of
men Of high ideals in the present age,
and reminded his hearers that not in
any one party or creed was to be found
all truth. He also spoke in no uncer-
tain terms his contempt for the liquor
traffic, and for that particular party
which will make it possible to continue
the existence Of the saloon in Vermont.
