So Firank was duly placed in Mias 0 ’< class. The superintendent detained Mr. Kemp a moment after school fo make a suggestion. “Say nothing to Mis* C about her scholar. I want him to have a fair chance with her, and begin with a white record.’ Mis* C , a fair, sweet young lady, calm and gentle in her mein, took her seat on tbe next Sabbath, in the middle sf her class, six rest lens little people, with eager eyes looking at her, ready to drink in ker teach ings ; six immortal souls that should live forever. Putting up a silent prayer for help to Him who is able to give it, she begun her work. Frank, hia Mack eyes dancing with fun and mischief, attracted her at ten tion first. He had a pocket full of little paper halls, which ho waa slyly throwing hero and there. He was just aiming one at Mr. Kemp's head, when Miss C *s little gloved hand waa laid gently on hia own. “That is very good fun.

The Sabbath-School. something to wmV ns fed better, to MAW MII.I.H roritblt flrUi Hilly, %ir Stf NUdrlRfn, rirtj-rrs *«> iriKCtits Says that spicy little sheet, the West Virginia Baptut Record: One of the greatest dangers that threatens our Sabbath-school work and workers, is the tendency to be come discouraged. It should be fought against and cast out as one of the wily tricks of the arch tempter and deceiver. In the Various books now pub lished to aid Sabbath-school work ers, as well as in tbe speeches at conventions and institutes, and even in these columns, a high standard ‘of efficiency is held np. Bnt upon looking around on your own field, you see old Deacon Slow standing right across the Sabbath-school road; or elder Hard-shell, who needs con verting so badly, throwing cold words or icy looks upon you; and you feel that your church will never work efficiently in the Sabbath- school department until God takes &ese stumbling-blocks out of the way. Don't be diseouraged, brother or sister. Good Sabbath schools are bom little ones, and often poor ones, and then grow up to efficiency and strength. So, too, with Sabbath- school workers. Timy, patience, prayer, and work, will bring ft ont all right. Do your doty all tbo were craved; ttto* imposing upon that UMN*-ttimacd organ tV afidi- dent* of H month* «• will, is *vc mJditi.il.
