Friday THE TEACHER "As is the teachier so is the 1 chool." If the teacher is not im- bued witb the proper spirit and a real conception of the great respon- sibility of his position, ail other ad- tvantages-of building, equipment or slocation are much neutralized. Therefore, every teacher sbould pas- .1sess a higb ideal of bis profession and strive unceasingly toward that goal. The teacher like every other rambitious worker should aim bigh and strive to reaeb his ideal or ob- jective. 0f course, no one ever reaches his ideals, for as scon as we tseem to gain one we find others -wbich rise higher and higher ever riurging us onward. Just as one cliinbing a mountain side finds the circle of bis horizon widening çdth every upward step, so the soul in pursuit; of a true ideal finds continu- ous expansion of its own view and enlargement of its own activities. There is nothing which glorifies 111e liké the uplifting power of a worthy ideal. It is the soul of aIl endeavor. We cannot imagine .any individual who needs a higb ideal more than the teacher of children. The pres- ence or absence of it differentiates the teacher whose enbbu.siasm is a perpetual inspiration, f rom the poor hireling of the class raom who spends the hours ocf the day longing for the moment of release. The teacher wbose life and labors are governed by ennobling principles will unconsciously impart that in- Ispiration ta bis pupils. The teacher must not forget the glorious possibilities of bis profes- sion and the wonderful power that bas been delegated ta hlm ta direct youtJi an the path of rectitude. Let him measure then the responsibility of bis work and the dignity of it flot by the monetary remuneration re- ceived, but by the aeons of ages through which it is destined ta, en- dure with undimmned lustre. The joy of the teacher's work should be proportioned ta the priceless value of the material upon whieh he oper- a-es and its absolute indestructibil- ity. There is na work on earth superiar to teaching, except that cognate, tbougb more subtle pracess of lead- ing the. buman soul frein spiritual darkness and chaos to heavenly light and peace. Our Divine Saviour, the greatest of aIl teachers, once said in describîng His own -mission: 'I amn camethat they might have hife and that tbey migbt have it more aebun- dantly.' May it not be said without irreverence, that tliis is, in a humble. and far-off way, the àim of every true teacber in the world? He wants ta belp bis pupils ta live a ful- 1er, a richer, a mare interesting and more useful life. He wisbes ta train thein so that none of their in- tellectual or moral farces shaîl be wasted. No lower ideal than this ought ta satisfv even thbe humblest man or woman who enters the teach- ing profession. This bighest and noblest of pro- fessions has been blessed with many great men. One writer declares that "The wisest and best that have appeared an eartb have cerne as teachers." In rernote antîquity Confucius came among tbe Chinese as a 'teacher of righteousness and wisdom as he understood it. Socrates was a celebrated teacher in refined Greece anld some of the best men in Athens listened ta his instructions wbilst the teacbing of twa of bis pupils bas been transmitted ta the world do'wn ta recent ages. In the Christian era tbe world was deliver- ed froin a state of degradation by the greatest and best cf ail Teacbers Wbo dignified and rendered sublime the noble pro;fession and imparted ta it a superiority above ail profes- sions." One of England's noted Premiers, Disraeli. once remarked tbat the you:b of tbe nation were tbe trustees of pasterity and accepting that apborism as correct ,the responsibil- it.ý resting upon tbose who bad tbe training of these trustees was a grave one. It is flot an exaggeration ta say, that tbe prînciples which cbildren imbibe in scbools today. will con- tribute a great deal in determining tbe national characteristics of tbe men and women of the next gener- ation. Teachers are cbarged with the young people at the inoat deli- cate, sensitive and susceptible period of their lives and upon their teach- ing and guidance depends ta a great extent, their future. Are aIl teacb- ers consciaus of tbe subtle influences (Continued on page 8) Grand Concert m - -_à 1Statsman FINE SUNDAY SCHOOL SERVICES Anniversary and Rally Day ser- vices were bappily combined and observed by Trinity United Sunday Scbool an Sunday. Weatber was ideal and tbe gatherings at aIl three services were large and appreciat- ive. Rev. J. E. Griffith, B. A, Bîack- stock, was tbe speaker for the day, bis address being practical, inspir- ing and penetrating. His morning theme referred mare particuîarly ta tbe Cradle Roll and Haine Depart- ments of tbe school, bis address be- ing based an the words "First tbe blade, then the ear, then the ful corn in the ear". Mark 4:27. He spoke particularly of the atinos- phere the awakdhing cansciousness, and the sacrifice in the spiritual 11f e of every child as it grows and de- velops into successful adult life. A cboir of Junior girls under tbe direction of Miss Helen G. Marris, A.T.C.M., organist, sang splendidlyi a number of choruses that sho.wedi careful training. A sextette coin- posed of Marion Allun. Evelyn God- dard, Geraldine Williams, Marion Leggott, Ruth Tuerk, Alice Jackmani sang a selection that was much en- joyed. In the afternoon tbe school as- sembled in the cburch with a record attendance of 514 strong. Dr. J. C. Devitt, Superintendent, presided and conducted opening exercises wbich were followed by prayer by Mr. W. J. Morrison. B. A. Scrip- ture lesson was read by Mr. Merrel Ferguson. A selection bç Primary tats led by Mrs. F. A. Haddy and Mrs. W. J. Mainprize, a recîtatian "One day in Seven" -bv Miss Joseph- ine Caverly and a sala "Be a Little Sunbeam" by Miss Dorathy Nichols were ahl well given and appreciated. Mr. T. C. Jewell, Secretary gave the treasurer's repart and conducted the Roll Caîl. Tbe honor of being star classes went ta the classes of Miss Hester Caverly, Miss Florence Ashton Mrs R. H. Warder and Mr. J. H. àobnston. Rev.

Music was led by the ten-piece Sun- day School Orchestra. under direct-i ian af Mr. H. A. Fletcher witb Miss Morris at the plana. The session closed witb the hyrnn "Who is on the Lord's Side" and the benedîct- ion.' The regular choir furnîahed the musical service in the evening and in addition ta the anthem, a solo was sung by Mrs. T. W. Cawker and a quartette composed of Messrs. W. B. Pollard, T. S. Holgate, Dr. C. W. Siemnon and W. B. Tap-son sang "O Paradise". Rev. Mr. Griffith preached a splendid sermon ta the adults and young people froin the words "Lord I Believe", Mark 9.:24 wlNch everyone fully appreciat- ed. EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING For same time we bave been en- deavoring ta get local merchanis wbo advertise in Tbe Statesman ta give short descriptions of goods off- ered for sale and at the samne turne qunte prices. By this we did nat mean ta be everlastingly cutting prices. We have found that pros- pective custeniers are just as inter- ested in store news wben well told as they are in local happenings and country correspondence. Also barping on tbe slogan "Be Loyal ta your own Comnî4nity" neyer kept a dollar in circulation in tbe old home town. Unless the merchant fallowed it up by showing the astute shopper bie bas services goods and values ta offer which meant at least one bundred cents warth or more for every bard earned dollar be gave bis wife ta spend for Mhe family requirments. In aur opinion one of the most appealing, convincirig and pulling bits of capv ever written by a mer- chant for a local newspaper appear- ed in last week's Renfrew Mercury for the Pediaw Dry Goods firmn of that tawn. It wasn't the size of the advt-4 columns full lengh- wbicb attracted. It was the straight forward evidence it presented that a customer could save from 2 ta 75% on mail order catalogue prices at Pedlow's store. Nothing was taken for g[anted. This is a sample of one of the tbirty or more items list- ed: -34 inch Wbite Flannelette- Pedlow's price for 34 inch wvhite saxony fiannelette, splendid nmedium weigbt, 22Y2c per yd. Catalogue price-page 149-is 30e per yard. A saving of 33.33% on this item-if purchased at Ped- low'.
