COURAGE, SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORKERS.

By A. O. Burrill

DURING my recent labors in Ohio, I visited one of our churches where there is a Sunday-school which was organized last June. Now, there are seventeen observing the Sabbath there, half of whom have begun its observance since the school was opened. At the other church there are two branch Sunday-schools, the first of which was organized the first of July, and the other later. I found the former had been doing good work: 1. It had held those who had received the Sabbath; and 2. It had kept the truth before those who were not observing the Sabbath, and I think it was the means of bringing one good family to its observance. At the third place there were not so marked results.

As I saw these things, I said, By God’s assistance I will do more for the Sunday-schools. Those who are anxious to work in the cause can obtain an excellent experience by organizing Sunday-schools, and introducing our helps. In fact, I know of no better way for those with a fair education to qualify themselves for the ministry than is here presented. There is work all around us. Who will engage in it for the Master? A.
