'-I. _ ___ A Reading Course For the Improvement of our Teachers (Concluded from second page.) ' and the Civil war than the history of the Reformation and his own church history. How many Sunday-school teachers are familiar with the names of Wycliffe.Huss,Luther,Wesley and Melanchton? We study the Acts of the Apostles. We hold that the ' church of today is the continuation of the early church. The church has since nassed through great crises,re rivals, etc, and produced great men. Names like Calvin, Knox, Luther and Wesley, had they lived in apostolic times, would no doubt have been placed in the sacred narrative. And yet how many teachers have in their homes a history of Methodism? Certainly you can find none better thai McTeer's. 3, Next to Church History comes Missions. The evangelization of the world is the key-note of the Bible. It is for this alone that the church exists. Certainly then, an intimate and sympathetic knowledge of the subject is indispensable to the work f the Sunday-school teacher. Numerous books on this subject have been written. Solomon's words find fulfillment here: "of the making of books there is no end." We should seek to get and read the very best ?we cannot read them all. Among the books of general information on the subject none is better than Mott's "Decisive Hour of Christian Missions." At the World's Missioner? conference in Edinburgh last I June Mr Mott was made chairman of the committee on World-wide Evangelization, and as such came in contact with a store of informaI tion that could not have been gotten in any other way. The book is the result of his conclusions, and is a |< book full of inspiration and help. Another good book on the subject is "The Future Leadership of the Church," by the same author, or Dennis's "Foreign Missions After a Century." Then,I think the teacher should also read at least one book on each field. On Korea, for in .stance, none is better than that used by the study circle, "Korea in Transition," by Dr J S Gale. On Africa, "The Upward Path," by Miss-Helve*. "The Uplift of China," by the misBionery veteran, Dr Smith. \ "The Conquest of India," by Bishop Theburn, etc. Also he should read some misBionery biography. 4^ The second qualification is knowledge of his pupils. Christ knew men. He knew them better than they knew themselves. In some He saw possibilities of discipfe-ehip, even among fishermen and tftx collectors. - la others He saw fhat%$e desire for bread and fishes was paramount. We quite agree with John when he says of Christ: "He knew what was in man." Do (we know our pupils? We should and must if we would teach them. How may we know them? We cannot expect to know all about them in the few moments that we spend together in the class-room. Let me suggest first a study of nature? an open book and free to all. Study the pupil in the home and with the parents, on the streets, at play in company with other boys. Know what he is thinking about; whether he is under conviction or growing careless about religion. The teacher should also study some works on child life, books on psychology and pedagogy. The following have been suggested: "A Study of Child Nature," "The Unfolding Life," "Talks to Teachers on Psychology," "Psychology in Education," "The I Sunday-school Teacher," by Dr Homill, which is exceptionally good. "The Seven Laws of Trochy." 5. The third and last qualification f the teacher is character. Christ as a human Savior recognized His limitations. He affirmed that He did not know when the last day would come, that He had not power to assign seats on his right and left hand in the Kingdom and declined to be called good, referring that to God. But one thing Christ did not not confess and that was sin. His character was spotless. And so in the teacher no amount of culture or scholarship can be substituted for unfeigned piety. The teacher must I know and love the Lord. Without character to support it his teaching will lack force and reality. Many of our schools make the mistake of employing as teachers anybody who shows a willingness to teach. Our teachers should be the most consecrated men and womea. I would suggest, therefore, that you read some books on personal piety, for this is our mission, after all, to help make character in others. "Dr Lillett's Personal Salvation" is a good book to read here. Also books on * i i prayer, a subject always gooa ana vital. I have suggested only a few books on this very important subject, but I am sure no teacher can read them without profit both to his pupils and to himself.
