TRIALS WITH NEW FACES. Qualities Developed Which We Shall Need in a Better World. by \.-. Departu it'ol' Agrii , Ottawa.) A despatch from Chicago says:-- Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage preached from the following text: Mathew xi., 29, "Learn of me." The school-house is the great reservoir in which are collected the streams of knowledge which have flowed down from the ages. It is the place where scholars can climb upon tho broad shoulders of the intellectual giants of the past and the present and see as far as they have seen, because those shoulders are lifting those students' heads It i; tap the < the i the electricity a Us and contribute -alth and developmi working together its buildings; hdleetl i the >rtb and the women who stand behind its teachers' desks. Students from far and near came to sit, at the feet of Hillel and his famous grandson Gamaliel, although for the most part those teachers had no buildings of any worth. Plato was the disciple of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, who is the founder of the academic school famous tho world round, yet for the most part these 3 for thei: the hill I for their laboratories. They in pocket, though rich in brains. The Divine Teacher is our theme. If we have not yet learned the value of Jesus Christ as an instructor, then let us learn it now in tho command of my text. Jesus in these three words recorded in Matthew emphasizes tho great fact that from him, and him alone, .we can learn the great gospel lessons we ought to learn. Thus to-day I would grasp the ropes of the village school-house and the city church bells as the college sexton holds his bell rope, and as I pull and the church bells swing backward and forward and the silver notes of these bolls go echoing down the valleys until they plunge up against the sounding boards of the hills I would cry as a gospel' minister: "Come to school! Come to -school! All ye who would learn of school!" Is not this the meaning of my text, "Learn of me?" THE GOSPEL CLASSROOM. Tho gospel classroom, in the first place, has in Christ an authoritative teacher. I invite you with confidence to sit at his feet becau has a right to teach. He speaks not only because as a human being he has learned what we ought t learn, but he comes clothed with di vine authority. His credentials ar higher than those of any human teacher. They proceed from God himself. He is the Son and the coequal of God the Father. He comes to us a conqueror clothed in white vesture, "and on his thigh a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." "For he taught them as one having authority and not as the In this age of intellectual progress it is absolutely essential for every true teacher, whether of the higher or the lower grades, to have his or her credentials. For instance: If I wish to educate one of my little girls to be a public school teacher I say to her: "Now. daughter, your future life occupation depends entirely upon yourself and your-, work. 1 am going to send you through the common public school. I believe every child should go there, be she Jeremiah. You are to accept him as did Simon Peter when he turned and said, "Thou art Christ, the Son of the Living God." Are you ready to accept the authoritative Jesus Oh, the credentials of the teacher, Chri'it! In the prophecies of Serip-tur« we can read them. In the miracles which he performed we can verii'y them. In the testimony of John the Baptist and in the Heavenly Father's voice, which sounded over the dripping locks of the Son of God when Christ was baptized, we can prove them. Christ's credentials are of the highest authority. They must be accepted. The gosp Theoi self s and lay How morning he parted 1 i and ' quarters That power of a personal ample inspired his men. They took heart. The French army was saved. My friends, our examples as representatives of Jesus Christ must exert the same kind of a good or bad influence that Colonel Gardarens had over his men. As gospel students we must duplicate Christ's life or we must misrepresent him. We shall lead sinful men and women to his altar or drive them farther away. "We are the light of the world." "We are the salt of the earth." "We are the cities set upon a hill which cannot be hid." As gospel students we are Christ's representatives, Christ's witnessess, and we cannot help it.

SCHOOLTEACHERS' TRIALS. A grei Teacher's inaugural message : "Blessed are they that mourn;" "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst," for under his blessed teaching we have learned that "all things work together for good to them that : think of the fractious human i i0ve God." The second purpose of this text is to send you forth as gospel evenge-lists. You are to go up and down the street and preach everywhere the sweet story of Jesus. You are to do this because if you are true gospel students you will as naturally talk about your Divine Teacher as a God pity the j bird hatched under a songstress' the normal i wing will sing; as a seed dropped is hardly old | from a rosebud will develop into a r, and yet has rose; as a dewdrop first touched of to Keep in lino every day thirty or the morning sun will sparkle like a forty boys and girls, most of whom diamond; as a dying sunset will gild have not yet learned what the word jt,le overhanging clouds with passe-"obedience" means! j menteries of gold.

Then, if you pass, your teacher's certificates will be given you. But, daughter, you cannot teach in any public school unless you are an authoritative teacher--unless you have your credentials. Without them you cannot even be a cadet or a substitute for a day." AN AUTHORITATIVE TEACHER. Now, my friends, as gospel students, aro you ready to accept Jesus Christ as an authoritative teacher? Are you ready to accept him as the Son of God? A few weeks ago a gentleman wrote to a friend of mine a pathetic letter, which went something like this: "Oh, why do the pre: /eacher has!

In this remarkable chapter, the Wh .13 of which we are asked to Sju ly, wo have three sections--verses 1 to 3, Davie's purpose and Nathans approval; 4 to 17, the Lord's message to David through Nathan; 18 to 29, David's communion with God. As David says in verse 23, Israel was unlike any other nation on earth, inasmuch as God had redeem-c them to make them a special people unto Himself, to do great th.ngs for them, that through them. H< might be made known to other nations. "That the world may belie re, that the world may know" (John xvii, 21, 23)--this is the de-sir of God as revealed in all Scripture.
