THE MAKING OF A TEACHER

THE MAKING OF A TEACHER
Martin c. .Brumbaugh; 351 pages.
Green cloth binding Good magazine
paper and clear print Marginal par
agraph headings. Price 81, post
paid. The Sunday School Times O.,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Those who happen to scan this
article that are readers of the Sun
day School Times and other period
cals devoted tie that phase of
Christian endeavor, have probably
already made Mr.. Brumbaugh's ac-
quaiptance through the excellent de-
partment work and general articles
he has contributed via those channels.
He is Sunday School author of rec
ognized note in this generation. His
opinions are worth careful and stu
dious consideration.
In this volume he labors to make
clear how the process OF Making a
Teacher" is to be worked ont There
is too much in the many pages of the
work for us to attempt to call the at
tention of our readers to it in & short
review. The best thing we can rec
ommend to any one interested in
qualifying for teaching a Sunday
School and that iptelligently and
along the best approved lines Of the
heads of the movement is TO procure
the book at once and assiduousIy alb
sorb its many good pointers.
Before leaving it we will quote one
paragraph that has such a general
bearing that we think its publicity
warranted: 1T was not until the
close Of the eighteenth century that
the state took charge of the education
Of the masses. When education did
become secular, the Sunday School
arose to supplement the work of the
state schools and to continue the re-
ligious instruction of the child.
The Sunday School became the le-
Ultimate inhefitor OF the central ac-
tivities of education by the church.
The church did not fully comprehend
| it's obligation TO childhood until the
state itself took up in serious way
the problem Of university intelli-
gence. If children require a secular
education to fit them for the sePvic9
of the state, surely they need also #
religious education to tit them for the
service OF the church and of the
higher life ="
In this last clause he does not re-
fer to ministerial education but would
dwell upon the necessity of education
foF the masses or laity of the church

tracted some very learned, wise and
useful statesmen to its positions of
high trust. Whence then this ex-
postulation from Mr.. Sisson for quit
ting the old way. 1t comes from an

dom in selecting this stand for polit-
ical preferment. We assign to him
