Reov. W. Savago has recently used a fiamiliar device with renewed fEâ€"ctiveness. He prepsred a card ten or twelve uches square. Oa one side was printâ€" «¢ "I am early," on the other "L am late." This was bung up where all cquld see it, with the front taward the Lastly, parents may greatly assist in securing Punctuality and Regularity,. [t is a deplorable fact that too many parents regard Sabbath echool as a place for children, young men and woâ€" men, but not for themselves. This is not the câ€"se, fathers and mothers.. The Sabbath school training is a course which nocve can afford to m‘ss, It is a close study of God‘s trath, by which all benefit and which all should epjoy. _ It is merely carrying out God‘s command, ‘"Search the Scriptures" Ask any aged person who is a regular attendant at Sabbath school what their experience is along this line, and you will find that it would boe one of the last pleasures which they would care to yield. You can spend that part of the Sabbath in no better way. Come out, bring your children with you and be there on time. Again, parents should manifest a sympathetic epirit towards the work. This being the case children will not fail to follow the parent and thus become interested in the moveâ€" ment. _ Being encouraged by the fathâ€" er and mother they will become more cative in the work, and thus be made better boys and girls and at last nobler men and women. For a short time let us consider more «specially tha teaching of the leeson. I fear th t at present thero is a ten: dency to hear the lesson instead ol teacbhing it. What is the cause? 1 believe that in the majority ef cases it is dus to the fact that many teachers go ‘o their c‘asecs with their Quarterlies before them, conducting the lesson ucrely as it is there laid down, the pupils answering accordingly. This is not teaching, but simply asking quesâ€" tions and rccoiving their answer con tained in the lesflet, very often withâ€" out any further explanation. Do you imagine for one moment that this method is either interesting or instrucâ€" tive 1 If so, I say to you banish the thought at once. There is no surer way of deadening the interest of your class and thus produciog both unpunctâ€" uality ond irregularity, â€" Lesson helps are all right in their place, but that is in the henfe, during the time of study, and merely as a help and a guide, not as a set method of conducting a class. No one but will agree that the less n sbuuld be prepared previous to your going before your class. You cannot teach that which you do not know yourself. â€" Begin early in the week to prepare your lesson for the following Sibba‘h S:mo begin even as early as tne Surday previous to that upon which they expect to teach the lesson. Take your Bible, read, study, digest, make the thought your ov n.â€" Rememâ€" ber that one or two readings are not sufficient to accomplish all this _ Pray much over your lesson ard ask God‘s guidance in thought. Then, when you feel that you have done all you can towards its preparation refer to your helps and see how the exp‘anations given there correspond with your inâ€" terpretation. Perhaps you may gain more light upon the subject and other points may come up which you had not noticed. If so, make use of them This being done in the early part of the week you may be watshing for illustrations during your daily labor, which will be much more effective than thore read from books. After being an. eye witness of these your exâ€" planation will be more vivid and real Go to your class so full of the subject that you will require no help‘whatever but your Bible, and that merely as a guide. Have something fresh, interâ€" esting and instructive to s1y and say. it in a manner which cannot but gainâ€" the interess of your pupils. Then I. say again, study, spend much time in secret with Jesus ; hold up the Crossâ€" tbhat is the drawing power, and do nothing which you think Christ would. not do, and which you would not desire to see done by your pupils. Then to Christian parents I would say, let your words and actions in every day life be kind and Christlike. Let your child see and feel that there is something real in the Christian experâ€" ience. Speak well of the superintenâ€" dent and teacher and conserve their iwfluence over the children. Consider your example. _ Children are close obâ€" servers, aud they very often base their conclusions upon their observations. Soek in every po:sible manner to win and keâ€"p the respest and love of each sch 1 r. By putiing into practice wha. bas been said we may discover ‘te bes‘ means cf gaining this point. Here is an opportunity for the teacher to use 11â€" or br jiadgment. By this mears you get a better hold cf your boy or gir‘, a clearer insight into heir nature and their wants, and thus »etter understand how to deal wittb hem. Show a genuine interest in each scholar. If we wou‘!d be successfu! teachers we must know our scho‘lars inâ€" dividuall . Naturcs and dispositions a c so vastly different, that without this we will invariably fail to reach some. By visiting the home we not only learo to kbow our pupils, but a‘so th« parents, Lead them to see thats you are interested in their boy or girl, and if they h ive not taken as deep an i terest n Sabbath School work as they : hould bave done, it may be the mears of leading them to be more ective for Curist and the Church. If they are not Christians it may set them thinking «nd eventually win them for the King lom. Secing you interested in thei» child, they cannot but fsel the same towards you end thus interested also in your work.

Westminister Gazette, The conditions in the cheese market are exactly the opposite. Supplies of cheese in storage and of fresh made goods are lightâ€"lighter than usual. And the demand, both for home conâ€" sumption and oxport trade is active. Prices have advanced until at the presâ€" ent time the parity between the manu facturer of cheese and butter is entirely in favor of cheese. _ With filled cheese largely eliminated from the markets in the south, the chances for continued good prices for good cheese are much greater, it would seem to us, than for higher prices for butter. _ Many of the factories are not situated, of course, so as to make cheese, but many of them are, and it would seem to be the parts cf wisdom and good business for all factory men who are so situsted as to make either full cream cheese or part skims to devote a large portion of their mllk to the production of both of these grades of cheese. Big Loss of Life in a Prussian Colliery Disaster. The same may be said of the contem:â€" plated amalgamation of the Oatario and Quebec Ayrshire herdâ€"books and also of thess in the Maritime Provinces with the other provinces. In unity there is strength, and the Ayrshire, as well as the Shorthorn breeders, are showing admirable tact and good s:nse in bend:â€" ing their energies in the direction of a closer union of the live stock interests of the Dominion. By putting forth a united front tbheir demands will comâ€" mand greater attention from those in authority, and a un‘formity of regisâ€" tration from one end of the Dominion to the other will greatly strengthen their position in trading with other countries.â€"Farming. While the receipts of fresh butter continue so large, and with the burden of held goods larger than for any prevâ€" ious year, the outlook for increased prices is not good, We may expect a low averagé for the whole winter seaâ€" son, That we must find an outleb for our goods of the better class we believe is one of the necessities for securing even fair prices for the next six months With these conditions preâ€" vailing in our butter market the thoughts of many ¢f our factory men have turned to the question as to whether it would not be more profi â€" able to divert a large portion of the milk to the production of cheese. No one not thoroughly in touch with the live stock interests of Canada can fully realizo the importance to the country of some of the business trans acted at the annual meetings of the live stock ars>ciations held in Toronto last week. Measures of the greatest moment, not only to stockmen but to the whole country, were discussed, and we have no doubt will come into force. The propasition to unite the Shorthorn herd books of the Dominioa in one complete book is of prime importance. Such a scheme, if carried into a sucessâ€" ful issue, will serve to bring the Mariâ€" time Provinces into closer touch with the othr provinces. If it is only in having his stock register~d in the same herdâ€"sook with the breeder cof the other provinces the Maritime Shortâ€" horn breeder will feel that he is more & spart of this great Dominâ€" 0n than he was before. Then, such a union will serve to strengthen the inâ€" terests of the Shorthorn breeder abroad, and also tend to promote greater interâ€" provincial trade. Which to Make, Butter or Cheese Now since unpunctuality shows a reâ€" gard!essness of otker people‘s property «and other people‘s feelings which caanot exist in the heart of any man who is highâ€"minded, intelligent anda consecraâ€" ted Christian, let us begin the work of r form in this matter in our Sunday schools and churches, ard let ns spread through the whole community this truth, that a man who is not precisely and punctilions!y careful of his engageâ€" ments is in grost danger, to say the least, of losing his moral self control.

Rese, head of the well known publishing firm of Hunter, Rose & Co., Toronto, died early on Thureday morning from an attack of paralysis. One of the best known men arcund Bedique and vicinity is Mr. Aifred Schurman, who has recently removed to North Carleton. Mr. Schurman was born in Bedique about sâ€"venty years ago, Some twentyâ€"five years ago he was sworn in as a justice of the peace, an1i about tventyâ€"one years ago he was appointed clerk of the county court, in both of which offices he has given every satisfaction. Mr, Schurman was also & farmer on a large scale and like most men engaged in that occupaâ€" tion led a busy life, being compelled to attend strictly to business, but less than a year ago he retired from farmâ€" ing and now lives in & cosy cottage in North Carleton. Before his retirement, work such as only a man engaged in knows anything about, claimed his atâ€" tention. HMis incre«ising years made the burden heavier and the spring work of 1893 wore him completely out. This is what he tells about it, and how he was cured. "In the spring of 1893 the constant toil and drudgery connected with the work of farming wore me out completely, and the breakdown was the more complete because the results wera coupled with the bad effec‘s left by an attack of la grippe. One of the results of la grippe was a nasty cougbh, another was the complete loss of appetite. My spirits were greatâ€" ‘y depressed and I folt that I had lived out my days. I always felt cold, and conscquently the stove and I were great friends, but the cold effected more especially my feet and caused me great annoyan.e, Added to this comâ€" plication was a serious kidney trouble which threatened to prove the worst enemy of all. I was unable to do any work, had no ambition and less strength, and was not a bit the better of all the doctor‘s medicine I had taken. It was my wife who advised me at last to try Dr. William‘s Pick Pulls. I bought six boxes ar d began taking them. My hope revived because a change for the better was soon taking placs, and before they were done I was cured. The six boxes brought back my appetite, strength and ambition, in short, all that I had lost in the way of strength and health. The next spring bowever my bealth again gave way and I immediately began using the Pink Pills againo and I am happy to say that they effected that time a permanent cure and toâ€"day I am well and bearty as if I were only forty. I strongly recommend Dr. William‘s Pink Pulls to all who are suffering as I was." Attacked With La Grippe Which Left Him Weak and Worn Outâ€"Kidney Trouble Added Its Complications and the Sufferer was Discouraged. From the Journal, Summerside, P. &.
