HELP THE SABBATH-SCHOOL.
By A. S. HUTCHINS
Do the young friends ask, How can I help the Sabbath-school? We answer,— 1. By your presence whenever you can attend. 2. By always having good lessons. 3. By encouraging others to attend the school. Use your influence as far as you can to encourage children and young friends of your associates to go to the Sabbath-school. 4. Aid it by contributing of your means to help in the purchase of books and maps for the school, etc. Not long ago one of the Instructor family came more than twenty miles to attend meeting with us. I think I never heard so long a lesson better recited. He seldom can attend a meeting or Sabbath-school; but he gets the lessons weekly, and recites them at home. In this way he shows his love for the Sabbath-school. And he gave further tangible proof of his love for the work by placing in the contribution box, on Sunday, thirteen cents which he had laid “by him in store” since having an opportunity to attend meeting. Who that cannot often attend meetings will do likewise? We hope many. A. S. HUTCHINS.
