A Reading Course
For the Improvement
Of Our Teachers
published By ReQuest.)

published By Request)
An address by Rev w A Fairy be-
fore the Kingstree District Sunday
school conference held in George
town March 1924:
"A Reading Course for the I'm
provement of Our Teachers" nat
urally suggests the query: What are
the essential qualifications of the
Sunday-school teacher? The answer
to this question involves an ideal,
and that ideal is Jesus Christ. He
was the ideal Teacher. He is every
where recognized as the Great
Teacher. He is so recognized not
only by His friends and admirers, but
even His critics and those who have
denied His divinity have been forced
to admit His ability and aptitude as
q teacher. Nicodemus in that re-
markable interview with Christ con-
fessed: Rabbi, We know that Thou
art a teacher come from Cod; and
the consensus of opinion concerning
Him was and is, never man spake
as this man spake."
Christ is called a teacher as well
rs q preacher. and the evangelists
make the distinction between the
teaching and the preaching of our
Lord. What, then, were the essential
qualifications of Christ as teacher,
for these should be the most promi-
nent characteristics of our teaching
also q refer entirely to Christ as
human Teacher under His favorite
title: Son of Man" Thus are we
better able to understand and follow
His eKampie).
These qualifications are three in
number, and may be summed up as
follows: (l} knowledge of His field;
(2) knowledge of His pupils; 80
Character.
First, then, knowledge of His
field. What was His field, His sub
ject? Not education or commerce
or political or social reform, but re-
ligion. Did he know His subject?
Well, should say He did. If you
have any doubt of it read His SER
mon on the mount, in which He sets
forth the character of His kingdom
and Of those who are the proper
subjects Of it. John declares that
no man knoweth the Father but the
Son and he to whom the Son will re-
veal Him"
What, then, is oar subject? Our
subject is HIS subject, Religion, or
the Kingdom of Heaven. To teach
its nature, its character, its princi-
pies and its application to life and
couduct is our whole duty as teach
eYs and preachers. Do we know our
subject as He knew it? This should
be the ambition of every teacher in
the Sunday-school. How are we to
realize this ambition? Through the
bureau of information. The best an
swer to the question: how may
know? is study. l do not say we
should read all the books on the SUBJ
jeet of Sunday-schools. The best
wsrkmen use few tools, but they
must be of the finest quality. So a
few weil-chosen books upon the
teachers work will be of great ben
eft.
l. First. | would suggest few
we'll chosen books of devotion. If
we put first things first we must be-
gin of course with the Bible, which is
the textbook of the Sunday-school.
Our knowledge of other books, so far
as teaching goes, will depend upon
our knowledge of the Bible.
And, let me suggest that every
teacher have his or her Bible. prefer
ably a teachers edition, with all the

ferent ways of reading the Bible;
some good. others better. Reading
the Bible in connection with the Sum-
day-school lesson, one should not
content himself with reading the
lesson of the week merely-nor
should he study it in spots. He should
study the book from which the les
son is taken. The student who knows
the book from which the lesson is
taken knows better the particular
lesson of the hour. Get at the mean
ing of the book; it's spirit and pur-
pose. Read it in the light Of its au-
thorship, its time, the circumstances
of the writing, the persons to whom
| it is written and it's relation to the
other books of the Bible. There is
much in the setting of the lesson.
The scenery on the stage has much
to do with the success of the play.
The real actor can move his audience
without it perhaps, but he can more
easily move them if he has appropri-
ate surroundings to interpret so
much for him. Some teachers at
tempt to occidentalize oriental scenes
with the inevitable result of failure.
Read some book, of course. would
suggest that you read one or more
books, then, on the geography or
topography of the Holy Land. The
Historical Geography of the Holy
Land" by George Adam Smith, has
been recommended as very superior
book on this subject.
Next, seek your own interpreta-
ton of the lesson without the helps.
] That is not best until first we have
made our own Interpretation, then
we are at liberty to use whatever
helps we approve. But we should re-
member that these helps are intend
ed to be our servants and not our
masters. Personally, / have found
the ordinary helps most useful: ID
magazine notes. Iwonder how many
teachers regularly read and study
these helps in the front Of the maga-
zine, from the pen of some of the
greatest thinkers of the age. (2)
Peloubet's Notes on the Information
al lessons are also invaluable. I
would suggest in connection with
these helps good Bible dictionary.
which is indispensable. The commit
tee suggests for this years lessons
Davis or Hastings dictionary. l
use Watson's to advantage. There
should also be a good commentary
to consult. l find THE Homiletic"
suggestive.
Of course every up-to.date teach
er will read in connection with the
lessons a few good biographies, such
as: Life of Christ and Of Paul. Stol-
ker's Life of Christ may be had for
so cents. Edersheim's Life of Christ
in two volumes will cost you more,
but there is perhaps none better.
Spiritual Development of Paul" by
Matheson, and Pauline Theology"
by Stevens, are also good.
2. Next to the Bible comes
church history. Every nation takes
pride in its history, it is the most
precious heritage of peoples liter
ature. Imagine a public school sys-
TEN that omitted American history
from its curriculum. Such system
would not be tolerated. Educators
see to it that no boy passes through
the graded school without being
made familiar with the important
events of his country's history. But
sad to relate, the average eighth
grade pupil knows more about the
discovery of America, the Revolution

isfec. u is as follows
