How to Get the Most Out of the Sunday -
day School Hour.
L ll > ' n vote of the Sunelny school con-
venlton recently helel ill Broken lIow It
was requested thntthe followln . papcr
read by Prof. COfllelt , he pllbllsheel ] :
'rhe aim of thc Sunda.r school
is threefold ; the promotion of
spiritual growth among thosc
who love God , the communication -
tion of truth to the ignorant an
young , and thc carrying of the
gospel to regions heyong the
present reach of the church.
Upon the Sunday school su-
pcrintcndcnt and his tcachcr de-
pcnds the succe s of thc Sunday
school. A true supcrintendent
is in charge of his school sc\'cn
days of the week. He has it on
his mind and consciencc cont1l1u- i
ay. ] ] He has it upon his heart
in his place of secret pray'r , at
his work and in his drcams. lIe
is praying , planning and practic-
ing. He is a man whom every
body respects ; can obtain order
by a few gentle words , has everv
teacher obeying his Wi ] ] and
loscs not a single moment during-
the precious hour of the Sunday
school. He does not organizc
his Sunday school to death , but
he chooses a plan and with a
fixcd p-urpose aims at some deHn-
ate resu.lt which he accomplishes.
Our true superintendcnt is a
man ot progress. He believcs
there is always room for him to
advance ; hc attends convcntions ,
. , subscribes for numerous religious -
ous papers , which he studics ,
and is always ready to listcn to
another's experience with a view
to improving his own school.
Yet he is not a fanatic , he does
not accept every new theory ,
docs not change thc old established -
lished order cxcept for good
rcasons ; bu t is always conscrva-
ti v ( ; , active and en t h usiastic.
He secures for his teachers , onli ,
those who are devotcd Chris-
tians. He is al ways ready to
confcr with his teachcrs , encouraging -
couraging the discouraged and
congratulating the successful.
' 1'0 gct the most out of thc
Sunday school hour evcry tcach-
er must bc a religious person.
He must helieve in God with all
his heart , he is neither weakly ,
credulous 1101' skeptical. He
hatcs sin and loves righteous- I
ness. His example is right , for
bc knows what is not well for
his pupils is not bccoming in I
himself. 'rhe good Sunday school
tcacher knows that therc i ! :
nothing that pleases Satan more
than to get an un-holy or non-
praying person to teach a Sun- '
da y school class. Such teachcrs
are but eating cancer : > at the
vitals of Christianity. 'I'hc good
Sunda y school tcachcr is not a
bigot. He is glad to stand side
by side with other denominations
in union mcetings and sing and 1
pray _ He ne\'er saY5 a word that
would lead a pupil to suppose he
did not have faith in all who
lovc God , rcgardless of their
church preference. He is found
among the old recciving counsel
and among thc young giving.
Hc carrics a notc book contain-
ing the lesson. He takes advantage -
vantage of his spare moments
through the week and jots down
his random thoughts on the
lesson and ponders thcm until he
has such a "head" of knowledge
that his words arc inspiring.
A teacher will dcvelop bis class \ '
in proportion to the cnthusiasm ,
tact , and love givcn to his class.
' { hc teacher of our public schools
must meet the requirements of
the law. Before bp.coming a
Sunday school teacher our hearts
should pass , satsfactorily : befor ( ;
God , the examination of the 'I'cn
Commandments. Such a teacher
does much toward promoting
unity in the church , which in
turn promotes spiritual grlJwth ,
bible study and missionary zeal-
the three aims of the Sundav
school. "
Our Sunday schools
arc suffer- '
ing for the want of teachers endowed -
dewed with the power of God.
Before we can successfully teach
a class so that evcry heart will
bc light and they will smile with
jO.r while their souls are drink1l1g
at the fountain which 110ws from
Heaven-I say before we can . . . .
teach the power of Go , we must IP
quit out committing sin and our a !
hearts must be made pure. t ]
Where can we preparc ourb ,
selves for Sunday school teacha
ing ? Upon our knces. How ? / 1
By giving ourselves entirely to d
God and letting him rule in our s (
hearts. When we have accome' I '
plished this we are ready to begin u
.
the prcparation : If the Sunday
school lesson. When a tcacher
has thus harmonized himself
with God he will think of C\'C1'\ '
one of his students and pray f r
their salva.tion c'cndny , and on
Sunday morning hew will appcar
bcfore his class with 'a countcn-
ance illuminated with the spirit
of Jesus so decply that it is
caught by thc class and the
wholc atmosphere is pre\'aded b ) '
the spirit of God.
As much as the school dcpends
\1pon the teacher , so much does
e"crything in the teachcr depend
upon his aims. He may aim at
cntertaining his pupils , plcasiug I
the fane- , quicting thc COI1-
scicnce , cxciting humor , kindling -
ling and gratifying curiosity ,
and g1\'i ng h is precious h aIf
hour intended for class recitation
to parl01' chat and funny
storics , or ,
He may aim at winning the
personal regard of his pupils-
thcir lovc and adnllrahon-he
may aim at mpldug Ius pupil "a
good scholar" having him rccite
titlcs , golden texts , commit cat.
echisms , or ,
Hc ma ) ' aim at church training -
ing . .training thc
pupil to ap-
preciatc and lo\'c bcyond all
others his own church ; but therc
arc higher aims than all these ,
the highest possible aims-con-
vcrsion , spintual culture and
formation of good charactcr.
On1)- with thcse grcat aims will
the Sunday school tcachcr
succeed.
Teacher , does your SU1 day
school class look at yoU as a Jolly
compani n with wh m they can
have a pack of fun or as a tcnder
friend with a heart madc purc by
the blood of Jesus ? Do the ) '
really know that you love them
Have they enough conJidence in
your rcligion to follow whcrc YOlt
lead them. Have you so prc-
scnted ) 'oursclf to them that you
can lead them to the aBar of God
and there upon your knees , b ) '
l : ir side , help them wcep away
the last dark clouds of sin ?
A teacher who is teaching for
eternity asks himsclf thesc qucs.
tlons. lIe knows that God has
made every soul natu.rally to hc I
longing for knowledge. If you
do not fecd thcm on the bread of I
Heaven , thcy will gloat 011 the
bread of wicicdness. 'l'hc stud-
nt will , as a rulc , eagerl ) '
grasp whatevcr you givc him
but he is too cunning to receivc
lI1ything which his tcachcr , him-
; dr , docs not posscss. Beforc
we can tcach Jesus and Him on
the cross of Calvary , pouring u.tt
f-lis precious blood for our atonc-
ncnt , we must he washed in that
Jlood and know the love and
: ) ewer that scnt Him.
I have , no certain form b ) '
, vhich a Sunday school should be
: onducted other than thc obser-
lance of the gcncral rules of
) edagogy _ ' 'l'is said "Ordcr is
leavcn's first law" , 50 ; wc must (
lave our school properly c1assi-
ied , with the ofiicers and teach-
rs prompt and rcgular in attcnd-
mce. Much time is often lost
) y having tardy or abscnt om-
: crs and teachcrs. As soon as
.he . bell rings for thc teacher to
akc charge f the class , the
'lass treasurcr should take th
: ollection and get it rcady for
he Sunday school treasurer ,
'Ihile the class
sccretary rcords ;
he attendance , giving thc
eacher a few minutes to enquire
.hout absent mcmbcrs and wel-
omc new ones. 'l'hen in a min-
Ite the class is scttled down and
las no interruptions. 'rile tcach-
r should losc no timc in brin -
ng beforc the class a remindcr
f the last lesson , and Icading to
he present one. His thorough
Ircparation enables him to pre-
ent this with
so much en-
husiasm that the pupils Jmow
othing of what is goin on c
utside of his ' "
own' class : He a
omplctes the lesson in time to
Illroduce such featurcs of the
ext lcsson as will arous { . in'estl -
'ation. ' Special subjccts may bc
ssigned for prcparation.
Insist upon outsidc
prepar-
tion. Expect it , bc disappoined
: you do not get it , and pleasecl
'h ' n the class have a well pre-
ared lesson. 'rhrow form aside
s much as possible and get to
: le heart ! ' ! of Jour stulcnts. r
elieve the method used to teach 21
class should dcpend
upon thc n
Itcl1ectual and spiritual -
w
ition of the class
and the con-I
mality of the teacher. HowB
ver , I thoroughly believe inI f1
sing some modern Cass : organiz- t B
,
j ation method , and thc teacher
I should choosc thc most adapted
to himsclf and clasS. ! Morc
depends uP.on quality uf rcsults
than q 'anht.r. As to how much
talldng should bc donc by
thc tcacher , hc alonc knows
bcst , but thin1c twice lest you
talk too much ; at lcast the tclch-
cr should not tcll the student
what he has had a chancc to
lcarn for himsclf. Do not
burdcn your studcnts by hashing'
over the idcntical cxplanations
in the Sund ay School Quarter-
lics , but bc so full of the Ics ! >
you can tactfullbl' ng it to the
class in a ncw and i terestillg
manner. Ncver force studcnts
to say something goo ( I whcn
they do not fecI likc it. bul
hri ig the spirit of Jcsus to thcm
, utll all t henecd is a ch ance to
cxpress thc dccp joy of their
souls.
Whcn the thirty minutes
allotted to the class recitation is
up , stop tcaching at once and
give hecd to the lcsson rcview
and Sunday school rcport. Be-
licving that wc cannot in one
hour on Sabbath do the whole
work of instruction dCl11ancled of
the Sunda ) ' school , a oed paper
should supplcmcnt a gOOlllcsson.
l cligious books should he on
hand for cverr pupil. , A good
library is as 1111portant a factor
in character forming' as thc Sunday -
day school lcsson and should
havc as important a placc.
'l'hc Sunday school should in-
crcase th : power of thc pulpit.
I think pcrlmps not cnough cn-
couragement is givcn in thh cla.r
to thc Sunday school pupils to
attcnd thc church scrviccs.
Most children scamper oiT home
at thc end of thc Sunday school
hour without a thought of attending -
tending thc church sen' ice.
'l'his is wrong. If he docs not
form the habit of church attendance -
ance while young , it will bc hard
to form whcn he grows older.
Parcnts and teachcrs do wrol1g
in excusing this on tht : grouud
of their inability to understand
the se1'l11on. Whcn will tlICbc
ahle to understand , pray , if they
ne'ler lr ) ' ? A child has a grcat
Ileal more undcrstanding than he
is usually givcn credit for. With
this cnd in view , thc Sunlay
; ci-ool should do morc to en-
: ourage church attcndance. 1-4ct
lhc supcrintcndent announce thc
Ircach i ng scrv ice , call for a
lJUblic rccitation of the last tcxt
IJrcached on and tcach thc school
lo pray for the pastor.
With all of its duties , cares
1nd anxietics thc Sunday school
.5 . not a burdcn but a blessed
) vilege.
It should be the happicst"and
Jest hour in God's holy dny for
'oung and old. What is the
.tsc of putting our minds and
.lcarts into our SundaJ school
Nork ? God lmows this best.
Vhen we shall have finished our
