reflect his own likeness of character upon the
students. They may know that as God-fearing
instructors they have helpers every hour to impress

their children.

accomplish if we would learn of Jesus. The springs
of heavenly peace and joy, unsealed in the soul of
the teacher by the magic words of inspiration, will
become a mighty river of influence, to bless all
