Teachers lhat | Shine ? By REV. HOWARD TT. POPE Moody Bible Institute. Chicago TE.?T-And they that be teachers (mar Fte) shan shine as the brightness of th? ftwoamom.-JLxiniel 12:3. According to ancient fable, Jupiter once offered the prize of immortality to him who was most beautiful to mankind, and the court of Olympus was crowded with competitors. The warrior boasted of his patriotism, the rich man of his munificence, tiie orator boast ed of his voice, the poet spoke of his power'to move even the gods by praise. Seeing a vener able man looking upon the group of competitors but presenting no claim, Jupiter exclaimed, "Who art thou?" "Only a .-spectator," said the sage; "all these were once my pupils." "Crown him, crown him," said Jupiter; "crown the faithful teacher with immortality." Making due allowance for the ex travagance of this fabie, there yet re ?sains enough of truth in it to prove an inspiration to every faithful teacher. God has indeed laid upoo you a great responsibility. As a teaclier and com panion of youth you have au influence seooud to no other in the community. You are in daily contact with minds tiwit are bright, hearts that are sc-usi tw?, and wills tliat are pliable. They are sent to you for the express pur pose ol* being influenced by you, and at like most plastic period of their lives. Granted that the special work for which you are employed in to educate the mind ; still, is it not your duty also to load them into the realms of spir itual knowledge, and above all to in troduce them to the Great Teacher, wiw said, 'Take my yoke upon you and loam of me; and ye shall find rest noto your souls?" We all know that young people do not wish to have religion thrust upon them continually, but they do, without exception, admire a strong Christian diameter, and they appreciate a lov ing Christian interest in their welfaro and au occasional taruoiSL word upon the subject. Remember also that many of your pupils receive no Christian training at home, and they will doubtless go out iuto the world without any definite re ligious principles unless they receive them from you. Of all the instructors whom the writer had in school aud college, no one did so much in shaping his life as tlie district schoolteacher who intro duced him tc Jesus Christ. And there was seldom a term in that school when someone was not laid under the same debt of gratitude. There was no dis tinctive religious teaching in the school, but in and out of classroom she so exhibited the beauty ol' holiness in her own life that lier pupils, became easy converts to her Lord and Master when tile opportunity arrived lo pre sent Iiis claims. Every true teacher hopes to leave the stamp of his own personality upon those entrusted to his care. Blessed is he whose personal Impress leaves on every heart the beautiful image of Jesus. % If you are a Sunday school teacher your opportunities are all the greater for leading your scholars to Christ. No one can estimate the influence of a peal heart-to-heart talk with a pupil, or the touch of a loving hand, or the ]K>wer o? persistent prayer, but those who use these means know that they are almost irresistible. A man in New York said to his pas tor, "You ought to have known my motlier. She was always hunting for tlio lost. In the town where she lived was a family ot low reputation, con taining seven boys, each of whom was worse than the rest. "She went to the home and asked the parents if they would send their boys to lier class in Sunday school, and they cursed lier. Then she tackled one of the boys on the street, and per suaded him to come into her class. He sat there a while, and thou started . for Hie door with the teacher aller him. He told her to ?co to hell, and sile came hack deeply grieved, hut nut discouraged. Two Sundays later she! liad him back iu the school. After a while siie lured the second boy into her dass, and then another and an other, until finally she had them all. "Everyone of those boys was con verted, and all seven ol' them became preachers ol' the Gospel. The boy who told his teacher to go io hell preached her funeral sermon only a short time ago." "Until tie lind it," is a good motto for every teacher to write in her Bibie. But when we live a divided life, when we call Christ, "Master," with our lips and crucify him again and again upon the cross of our own con venience, we may as well take a vaca tion until we decide, once and forever, whose we are, and whom we are to ser? e. Perchance In heaven some day to me Snms blessed saint will cone.-, and say, "All hate, beloved! but for thee My soul to death had fallen a prey." And oh, what rapture in thc thought One soul to s'ory to have brought I V&4EATLESS BIOCUITS. Parc?ved rommeaJ ls tibe feature of these excellent wbeatless biscuits.
