In a country where the schools are counted the bulwark o6 the nation this is a strange siâ€" tuation, The teachers, as a rule, ire poorly pard. They have little shance to save for the rainy day. Many of them give their lives with unsparing energy to shaping the tharacter of their youthful charges.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Every man begins a new life when he becomes conscious of the fact of social living, when he is touched with a feeling of the unity U in any life is that in which it beâ€" comes conscious of the fact of other lives pressing on it, constiâ€" tuting society about it, and making imperative demands upon it. The hour of real conversion is when one turns from living inward to living outward, from selfishness to social living, when the life begins to take the law of love as its guiding star. THE MOST IMPORTANT HOUR Your historians point to this and your philosophers to that as the esâ€" sential article of Christian faith, but it is neither in historical reâ€" cords nor in theological formulas. The one thing that marks and makes the true man in religion is that he has learned that life is just the chance to love and to give life away. His faith is right who is right with his fellows. . We have been for centuries buryâ€" ing the simple teachings of the proâ€" phet of Nazareth under survivals ofi ancient superstitions and massâ€" ies of philosophical subtlety _ and speculation. _Now when his real message is spoken it sounds so strange we" call it a new religion.
