TEACHING is developing, exercising, stimulating, inciting and exciting, fostering,—blowing a spark until it develops a flame. Teaching develops strength of brain, as exercise develops muscle; teaching is kind, gentle, not puffed up with self-importance, but full of that charity that suffereth long. Nay, teaching is an exemplification of that charity so highly commended as greater than all and above all. The grandest vocation of the human race is that of teaching, and the grandest man on earth is he who comes nearest to this ideal type of a perfect manhood, as exemplified in a true teacher.—The Teacher.
