and young, into the Sunday school is a
process which would be rendered infinite
ly more easy of accomplishment" said
Mr.. Watson, IF the school and the peo-

upon the boyish mind the value of what
to do. rather than dwell at length upon
the things that he should not do
Grant Leet, chairman of the Bible
study committee boys department, Y.

length upon the mistakes teachers make
in selecting Bible lessons totally beneath
the mental capacity OF the pupils,sbreed-
ing in their minds what nearly amounts
to contempt for the scope of Holy
Writ. He advised a selection of topics
for consideration which would measure
up to the higher mental attainments of
the older boys" rather than subjects
which formed topics of discussion in the
