The Work Of the Sunday School.

EdV0r Her0id.-l attended services
recently at church where the
minister preached but once month,
bat where live sunday School is at
work each sunday The superinten-
dent is am earnest, consecrated man of
God; the teachers are Ia love with
their work aud the scholars show in
terest. On the Sunday / was with
them they were reviewing and closing
the study of the Gospel Of John, upon
which they had been engaged for the
past six months, and where in all the
range Of literature, spiritual or secu-
lar, could they have found SO much TO
instruct 10 inspire? Those years Of
the Chnst-life, Of his active work in
the ministry, and only six months Of
-tudy-yet how much better that six
months Of study than none at all.
The preacher in his half-hour
monthly talks had but poor oppor-
iunity for presenting any connected
thought OH any Bible subject, but the
teachers had better aud believe were
making good use Of it.

well as young people, and who is too
old for Bible study? It's loss that
cannot be estimated not 10 have
worked with the Sunday School dur
ing the past half-year, for we cannot
afford 10 be ignorant Of the greater
things
And, by the way, IN this school
there were number Of men who
were not church members, and who,
I was told, were regular attendants
and manifested great interest IN the
lessons.
John concludes next 10 the last
chapter Of this Gospel with these
words "But these things are written
that sc might believe that Jesus Il the
Christ the Son Of God and that beliey-
