So with your lessons. If
you do not feel an interest in them, if they are beyond your reach, they
may be of no benefit to you. No lasting principle is gained, but the
whole may be lost, as the words of the lesson are lost to memory and
forgotten.
_Eld. B._ What are the results of attendance on the Sabbath school?
_Teach._ That question we answer, partly in faith, and partly by
knowledge. Faith is good;--and we know that our school is a good school;
we know that we enjoy ourselves there; and we know what is learned there
is good. It is there that divine influences and joyful communions fill
with gladness the hour. We enjoy them, and if we could say no more, we
think that this would be sufficient.
_Eld. B._ That is true.
_Teach._ But that is not all; the results go still further. They are not
confined to the hour passed in the schoolroom. The scholar is better and
happier for having been there. Is it not so with you?
_Eld. B._ Yes sir; I always feel better when I have been to the school.
