j. w Waldron speaking on 1.-THE
Contents of the Boy this afternoon,
said that young men teachers could
better teach the boys in Sunday school
because they understood them better
than young women or older women.
He told how that the boys were gen
orally live wires" rebellious against
authority; so5Ourners in the land of
dreams and prisoners in doubling cas-
tie. To meet this nature his teacher
should sympathize with the boy-but
not pity him for he despises pity,
and make a companion Of him. Ac-
Rcording to Rev. Mr.. Waldron this was
= another reason why young men were
better adapted to instruct boys in
the SUNDAY school.
