God as Teacher.

Learning becomes 80 inspiring, too, when
we thus place God as our teacher. In
our common judgment Of education we
say that much depends upon the teacher.
and we say rightly. There are some
teachers who know little: they have no
great principles of education TO guide
them. There are others who cannot i'm
part the knowledge they possess: they
are encyclopedias Of facts, but they have
property of their pupils; they have no
personal magnetism. Again, there are
teachers who do not comprehend the
child nature; they are ignorant of peda-
no idea Of the way in which a child thinks
or of the manner Of the working Of his
brain And yet. again. there are teach
ers whose moral nature is not such as
to inspire confidence. Whether or no
they have really any moral conscious
ness, they certainly do not live as they
ought, and SO their teaching is defective
1 am impressed by the care taken by
school superintendent, who are left free
from political influence. in the selection
of their teachers. 1t is questioned, first
where they were educated and how. Then
their actual knowledge of fundamental
branches Of learning is inquired into.
Then comes the question of their ex-
perience-how long and where they nave
taught and with what success. Again
it is asked of what branches of learning
they have made a speciality. And finally,
though not Of final but OF primary inn
portance, their character is examined;
whether they can control their temper,
how they are living, what are their hab-
it's etc And even after all these ques-
tionings successfully are met, the teacher
is often failure. But there is one
Teacher Who never fails. He Ia the
source of knowledge. He knows all things
perfectly. He has taught His children
from the creation Of the world He loves
all His children with an everlasting love,
and He is the dear God of perfection.
from Whom we bring all our measure
ments of right and wrong 1t would be
a happy thing il our school superin-
tendents could always ask one other ques-
ton of those applying for positions as
teachers. namely, do you believe In God
and in Jesus Christ. Who was God upon
earth in human form, and do you love
Him, pray to Him and look to Him for
guidance in all your life and work?'

This is day of study Schools and

to learn and to think. In a few gener-

We will think today of how our dear

Step by Step.

What an answer to our longing to know
what the future has in store for us. A
knowledge of our future would over
whelm US; so God is revealing that future
day by day, as He sees we are ready for
II. We must just ask Him for directions
every day and every hour. and await His
revelations in the trust which sings:
Il do not ask to see
The distant scene-one step enough for
me-"
The object of Christ our Teacher is that
we should have eternal life. He tells us
how TO secure this life. and He tells us
how to teach others to secure It, He
makes 1t very plain that there is no such
thing as selfish relig.on-religion that
makes US satisfied to enjoy Gods gifts
without longing to share them with
others. How does your society stand the
test of such teaching? How do you stand
the test?
In His method Christ knew how to
warn. how to WOO, how to win He
studied His hearers just as we must
study those to whom we go, varying our
methods according to their needs. He
taught by example as well as by precept
as-for instance-when He gave the les
son in humility by washing the disciples
feet.
The result of Christs teaching was to
lead many into the light Some, who per-
sisted in remaining in darkness were
judged by. the Father according to the
message He had given Christ to speak

fuse; and they are condemned.

at His feet by reading His word every

But they perceived Him not;
And OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF that light
The gloom. the darkness and the night,
That wrapt His burial spot.
Wearied with doubt, perpleXed and sad,
They knew nor help. nor guide.
While He who bore the secret key
To open every mystery
Unknown was by their side.
Thus often when we feel alone.
No help. no comfort near.
IT'S only that our eyes are dim;
Doubling and sad. see not Him
Who waiteth still to hear.
THE darkness gathers overhead,
The morn will never come!
Did we but raise our dOwncast eyes,
In the wide-iushing eastern skies
Appears the golden sun.
In all our daily joys and griefs,
In daily work and rest.
To those who seek Him, Christ is near,
Our bliss to calm. to sOothe our care,
In leaning His breast.
Omen our eyes o Lord. pray,
To see our way. our Guide!
That BY the path that here we tread,
We, following on. may still be led
In Thy light to abide.
