"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."<br />

Let the one who is preparing to labor as a church<br />

school teacher learn to work on correct principles.<br />

"Precept must be upon precept, precept upon<br />

precept; line upon line, line upon line, here a little,<br />

<strong>and</strong> there a little." Thus the children attending a<br />

church school are to be educated. Let teachers<br />

show sympathy <strong>and</strong> tenderness in dealing with<br />

human minds. Let them reveal the love of God. Let<br />

the words they speak be kindly <strong>and</strong> encouraging.<br />

Then as they work for their students, what a<br />

transformation will be wrought in the rough<br />

characters of those who have not been properly<br />

educated in the home. The grace of God, revealed<br />

in words <strong>and</strong> works, will touch hearts.<br />

Teachers should not aspire to do wonderful<br />

things in their own strength. In all their service<br />

they must reveal the love of Jesus. True selfrespect<br />

must be mingled with all their work. The<br />

Lord can make even youthful teachers channels for<br />

the revealing of his grace.<br />
