President Taft spoke some fine truths
at the Worlds Sunday School Conven-
ton that was held in Washington City a
few weeks ago. Among other things, he
said :" ssAs the twig is bent, so will the
tree grow. Youth is the time to inculcate
for lasting results, moral and religious
ideas" He further said: 81 want to say
that | believe the influence of the Sunday
school upon the teacher is in some re-
spects even more beneficial than its in
fuence upon the pupils. The education
that the teacher gets in preparing himself
or herself to teach another, the response
bility that he assumes in developing the
religious character of another, and the
necessary depth and fervor of spirit which
he must develop, if he is not hypocrite,
in trying to lead others, necessarily ele-
Yates him in way which would be other
wise impossible" Teachers will please
read the above quotation from the Presi-
dents words carefully, and more than
twice.
