PUNCTUALITY.

By S. S. Workman

Few things are so important in Sabbath-school teaching as the homely virtues of regularity and punctuality. A Sabbath-school class is usually an organization with little cohesion; and it will go to pieces very readily if the teacher fails to be always present, and present at the moment of opening. Do lay this to heart. If you do not mean to be regular and punctual, better not undertake the work. If you have undertaken it, make it a matter of ambition, honor, affection, conscience, to go, and to go in good time. Better spare, fair sister, some of those last touches at the glass, if necessary in order to wear the precious ornament of punctuality. Have a care, worthy brother, lest, if often late, the boys conclude you are lazy; for laziness in a teacher, is with boys fatal to respect, an unpardonable sin.—S. S. Workman.
