Learn Your Sabbath-School Lesson.
Among the resolutions for the new year, the resolution to faithfully learn the Sabbath-school lesson should have a place. And when it is made it should be renewed three hundred and sixty-five times during the year. If this is done there will be a wonderful increase of interest in the Sabbath-school. Let each individual devote a few minutes to his lesson every day. Get a few points in your mind early in the morning, and then think of them during the day. In this way new ideas will be gained. The mind has time to grasp the subject, and consider its relation to other lessons. No lesson can be properly learned at one sitting. Time must be taken. If all could realize the value of our lessons, and the importance of thoroughly understanding them, there would be a coming up on this point. The lessons will do us no good if not learned. If they are only half learned and then forgotten, the time spent on them is wasted, except as the individual may have been kept from doing something in itself bad. Let parents impress upon the minds of their children the necessity for thoroughness in the preparation of their lessons, and then remember that in this nothing teaches like good example.
