Humble in her outward position, her spiritual attainments were of the
most exalted character. The stores of excellence treasured in her heart
were made manifest in the hour of great trial, and the Christian
instruction to which she was accustomed to apply herself, begat the
holiest resignation and the most confident trust.
The fact that this good was in no small degree wrought in the Sabbath
school, should lead the Sabbath school teacher to understand the dignity
and importance of his office, the opportunities he enjoys for directing
the affections of the young heart, and the necessity of a large measure
of Christian attainment to qualify him for the successful discharge of
so great responsibilities. May the example of our departed sister be
sanctified to the good of all thus employed.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL BOYS.
"What do we go to the Sabbath school for?" asked a little boy of his
companion who was some years older than himself, and who had, as I
discovered by their conversation, attended the school for a long time,
that is, compared with the time which many children, boys especially,
think it of any use to go to the Sabbath school.
