Encouragement for Sabbath-School Teachers
By Editor
It ought to be a real comfort to a Sabbath-school teacher to have scholars who have had no good teaching at home, and who have no thought of any responsibility for the preparation of their lessons out of the Sabbath-school hour. Scholars who are well taught by their parents, and who study their lessons faithfully, can almost take care of themselves. Teaching them in the Sabbath-school is, in a sense, a supplemental work. But when a scholar gets all his teaching in the Sabbath-school, and during the lesson hour, he is one of the scholars worth having in charge. Sabbath-school teaching ought to amount to something in his case. This is a word of encouragement to teachers who have such scholars. Instead of repining over their trying lot, they have reason to rouse themselves to the exceptionally good work to which they are summoned by the peculiar need of their scholars.
