He used to aay that the essential thing waa relative oot absolute chronology; and that history might bo written intelligibly in a descriptive way, without a pur ticnlar date bring given. Hr, how ever, greatly vexed the arm Is of the feeble-minded in the Hrminary, with tbe innumerable “periodologies* of tbe German historiographers. One of his students writes: “The mi ante accuracy of hi* memory, ex tending to the smallest dn entity of punoUiution nr accent iu different editions, contrasted in a remarkable mauner with hia grand comprehen sire views, and hia bold, rwreping. bat philosophic generalization*. His statement threw a brood, strong light over the whole subject; and then every obscure or doubtful point waa placed tn the focus of a powerful lens, which revealed every line, and de tected every flaw, even the slightest or the ftnest. Mot unfrequently he held the book unopened, and would conduct the entire examination with his eyes closed. When, tn the rapid mode of hia questioning, be would pass from student to student, and to the different ports of tha lesson, it waa astonishing bow be would prompt and correct, from memory, the hesitation and blunder* ot those who were intently looking npoa the page, and on tbe alert to keep pace with him. Tbe prompt and rapid method possessed the advantage of ■ecaring tbe attention, and exciting to constant activity the fboultiea of some, while it served to ooafaae and embarrass the minds of the slower and more diffident.” When I waa a boy, he naed to say to me unexpectedly in tbe nudet of other conversation, “Sow I am going to talk without thinking!” and would proceed incontinently to pour out the moet harmonious periods that con- taiued not oue syllable of sea*. I was overwhelmed with torrent* of strange words and incongruous ima ged. He would then suddenly break out laughing, as if to himself; hav- you havei such a nice class. They listen to every word you say. But my class do not seem interested, and I am discouraged. I mean to leave them.” “Leave them and disobey the Mas ter’s command, ‘Feed m.v lambs’ r “Yes—I do not think that was meant for roe.’’ “It must hare been, if you can answer, ‘Lovest thon me T” •‘But I do not see that I do any good in my class, and I know some one else could do a great deal more.” “I don’t know tiiat I should be willing to give up my class under any c'ircumstauces. I have become so attached to them, aud I do believe Christ will bless e very earnest effort for their good.” “But we can do good in different ways. I do not believe I was made for a Sabbath School teacher. Did you always love the work as you do now I” “I always loved the Sabbath 8chool and my class, but I have thought more of the privilege of being a teacher during tbe past few months tbau ever before.” “Whyt” “Do you remember Charlie Btowd, who used to be in my classT” “0, yes, the little boy who was ill so long, and then died.” “I think he became a Christian before he died. When he was sick I often went to see him, and thought I must comfort him, but he did not need my comfort He had learned more of Christ than I. Just before he died I was sitting beside him, and he said: ‘O, I do feel so thankful to Jesus for sending me to Sabbath School, and for putting it into your freart to lead me to him. Do try to get aft the rest of thu clan to come, too, won’t you 1 I shall watch for you and them beside the pearly gates; I shall know yon all; I shall love tfi lead you to Jesua. |}w I’m going to Heaven, I w»n’t yon to get some other boy to take my place, that he too, may learn the way.’ ” After a Ut tie hesitation. Dr. Alexander said, ‘There ia no need of taking the reg. later home; 1 will make the roll for you ;’ and taking a sheet of paper, at once, from memory «it hoot refer ring to the register, and merely from having heard the names as they were recorded, proceeded to make out the roll, giving in the name* in their alphabetical order.
