The Christian Teacher’s Opportunities

THE Christian teacher's opportunities for doing good are almost without limit, and are not curtailed by any circumstances. The very attitude assumed by a pupil in presenting himself before a teacher is one of reception. He is ready to exercise faith, to accept and utilize the instruction given him. This receptive, teachable mind is the basis of all other opportunities. In this attitude of mind it is fully as easy to teach truth as error. The wonderful stories of the Old and the New Testament are received and absorbed with even more avidity than the myths of the ancients. Through the medium of this simple faith, the pupil may come to know God as the author of truth and as a personal Saviour. This knowledge is all that makes life pleasant and truly desirable. The Christian teacher has the opportunity and privilege of bringing to his pupils the sweetness of life.
