1t is strange that the generous

out their riches so prodigally in re
Spouse to every patriotic, every char

enthusiastic and liberal support tC

that helped win the war. should have

lofty ideals, in unselfish principles. in
sacred responsibilities, stands side by
side with the ministry Of the Gospel
itself.
We wish TO bespeak. with whatever
power and authority we may have and
with such words as may be granted
TO US, some measure of consideration
for the foster-fathers and mothers of
our children-the school-teachers of
the United States of America.
There is no class of workers of
which we demand so much We com
NIT into their keeping the minds, the
bodies, and the very souls Of our chill
dren in the tender and formative
years of their lives, and they, receiv-
ing these children. can indeed be said
to hold in the hollow of their hands
the future of America. We expect
these devoted men and women to
watch over and care for our sons and
daughters as tho they were their very
own, 10 drill them in the arts and
sciences, to train them for business
and for citizenship, TO instruct them
in manners and in morals, to do for
them those things which we would do
had we the training and the leisure.
No class has assumed so heavy, so
trying burden and a responsibility
with such willingness as these conse-
Grated men and women. No class has
performed their increasingly heavy
tasks more devotedly, more conscien-
tiously. and with less thought of self

their everlasting debtor. Truly had
they not done their work so well this
republic would not outlast the span of
a generation.
What then have the teachers re-
ceived at our hands in return? They
have received little of honor and
less of pay. Other classes

 The disciples were offended at the revelation of the cross; their hopes were shattered because they could not see beyond the cross. The transfgura- ton convinced them not only of his es- sential glory, but gave them fore gleam of his triumph in his coming kingdom OI Peter l :16-1S).

 The disciples needed to know that all who are really doing the Lords work, casting out devils, and casting them out In Christs name. should be received into fellowship and bdJen Godspeed. Religious intolerance IS displeasing to Jesus.
 6. Jesus teaches true greatness Ie-- son 9 John 13 :1-16.
