How Will I Be?

The teacher's unconscious influence, like "bread cast upon the waters to return after many days," is beautifully set forth in the above exercise, as put upon the blackboard by Richard P. Clark, teacher of the Young Ladies' Bible Class, Puritan Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. The lesson for the day-Easter Sunday-was, the Resurrection, outlined as above, with comments full of tenderness and pathos, contrasting the glories and miseries of that eventful day, with the direct appeal, Is your lamp trimmed and burning? The truths of the lesson left their convicting and converting influence upon at least one member of the class, who was taken sick during the week and died in the glorious triumphs of a risen Saviour. Before her death she sent word to her teacher thanking him for the faithful presentation of that lesson, and assuring him that it, through him, had been instrumental in bringing peace and comfort to her heart, and that her lamp was trimmed and burning.

BLACKBOARD ILLUSTRATIONS, &c.

Mr. Clark was then sick: that Easter Sunday was his last appearance before the class, his last diagram upon the blackboard, the last lesson he taught. He died with the blessed satisfaction of knowing that his Sabbath-school efforts had not been in vain, and passed to his reward. "He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal, that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together." John iv. 36. May this lesson, so eminently suggestive, prove an incentive to Sunday-school workers everywhere.
