The Most Efficent School
One of the State Officers of Mon
tana when asked "Which is the
most efficient school in Kitsap
County?" replied!
"In a large degree, as the teach
er so is the school," and since this
statement is true I do not hesitate
to say that the mostr efficient is in
hands of that tedfeher who is hand
ling all the up-to-date forces that
count for a ten nine school. Ho
is not only inspiring personal re
sponsibility iu his pupils, but is
also inspiring his School Commit
tee to action in shouldering its
personal responsibility and duty.
This teacher is the best thatcan be
found; one whose education,whose
knowledge of books, whose energy,
whose acquaintance of school
methods, whose practicability and
whose love for his tellows is uni
versally recognized and felt. This
teacher lias the ability and exer
cises it to secure the hearty co
operation of the school board,
pupils, janitor, parents, citizens
a goad executive, a prompt, tin-,
partial, watchful teacher who is
ever ready to yield to nonessenti
als gracefully, and who striving
for harmony on essentials, lie is
also ready to bear and forbear
with young and old, and just as
jealous for the good name of every
teacher in the county as ho is of
his own, always possessed of the
true spirit of love ami co opera
tion ; exercising at all times and
all places that gentienessofspirit,
that devotion to truth, that lofti
ness of soul which commands the
respect and co-aperattoh of all
good people. In the room of this
teacher everybody, big and little,
ifi-full of enthusiam, aglow with in-
U rest and attention, anxiotts to do
his part to advance,* spurring his
neighbor on by his zealous elTort.
There is no disorder because there
is a feeling of business 'in the
minds of the pupils. The atmos
phere of the room cheers and in-
because no one is chilling
and poisoning it. There is no in
different ebecause every child pays
attention. Happy school made
double happy by having a teacher
able to handle, "Noble Hoys and
Girls" as he put it. .This teachei
is the first at the school house of
a morning, and the last to leave
it of an evening; out with the
children during all intermissions;
remaining iu the district Satur
days, Sundays and holidays to
lend a helping hand- iu local
affairs; with never a failing sym
pathy, abundant patience, little
chiding, frequent encouragement,
wise management of little things
and a good house keeper.

seem most unkind to a lit! rebellious

kingdom on this earth (verses 4, 8;
Mlc. v, 2, margin; Gal. Iv, 4; I Tim.
111, 10; John I, 14). The mesSage con
cerning Him Is always to every sin
ner the grace that saves and the peace
which He has purchased by His own
blood (verse 4; chapter xxil. 21; Eph.
11, 13; Col. 1, 20). The Spirit loves to
bear witness to Him, and the seven
Spirits suggest the perfect fullness of
the power and testimony of the Spirit
(verse 4; chapters ill, 1; Iv, 5; v, 6), :
He is the faithful witness, called
Faithful and True, and all His words
are true and faithful (verse 5; chapter
ill, 14; xlx, 11; xxi, 5; xxll, 0). He Is the
first begotten of the dead, Christ the
first fruits (verse G; Col. i, 18; I Cor.
xv, 23). Because of His resurrection
others have risen and others will rise—
they that are Christ's at Ills coming.
He Is the Prince of the kings of the
earth, KJ&g of kings and Lord of lords,
andvall kings shall fall down before
Him, all nations shall serve Him
(verse G; chapter xvli, 14; xlx, 10; I
Tim. vi, 1G; Ps. lxxil, 11). How glori
ous He Is and will he! Does not your
heart cry out, "Yea. lie is altogether
lovely; this Is my Beloved, and this Is
my Friend?" (Song v, 10.)
As John thinks upon these things he
by the Spirit breaks forth with the
ascription, "Unto Him that loveth us
and washwl us from our sins In His
own blood," reminding us of much we
have so recently written In-the lesson
notes concerning all believers being
washed, sanctified, Justified (I Cor.
vl, 11). In John xiil, 10, He said,
"He that Is washed Is clean every
whit." It Is our standing in Him
which is perfect because of His come
liness (Ezek. xvi, 14). Then, as to our
future, see the wonders of His grace
and glory In making us kings and
priests unto God to reign in His king
dom (verse 0; chapters v, 9, 10; xx, 0).
"Behold, lie cometb with clouds"
(verse 7). This Is His coming In glory
with His saints, as the Sun of Right
eousness. of which Enoch prophesied
before the deluge; Ills coming to Judge
the nations, when they shall .wall and
be angry because of Ilim, when Israel
shall look on Him whom they pierced
and become a penitent nation and re
ceive Him as their Messiah (Jude 14;
Zech. xlv. G, I. c.; Mai. iv, 2; Zeph. 111,
8; Zech. xll, 10; xlv, 1-3; Rev. xl, 18;
vl, 15-17). He is Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending, the first
and the test (verses 8, 11; chapters
-111, 14; xxl, 0; xxll, 13; Isa. xll, 4; xllv.
0; xlvlli, 12).
Not all nis titles can tell of Him as
ne should be known, and It will al
ways be trne of Him, at least while
we stay here, tlmfcJhe half has not
been to'.d. John, t™ng iri the Spirit,
heard behind him a great voice as of
a trumpet, and, turning to Bee the
, voice, he saw seven golden candle
sticks, which, he was told, represented
seven churches, of which we shall hear
more In our next lesson (verses 10-12.
20). In the midst of the candlesticks
he saw Him on whose bosom he had
leaned when He was on earth, but he
had never seen Him like this, not even
when He was transfigured, and he was
so overcome that be fell at His feel
as dead (verses 13-17), but the same
right hand was laid upon him, and
the game voice said so kindly, "Feai
not; I was dead, but 1 am alive for
evermore."
In studying this book I have always
used the following outline: Chapter I.—
Christ In the midst of the churches.
II and lll.—nis last messages to the
churches. IV and V.—The church gone
from the earth. VI to XVlll—Be
tween the rapture and the return.
XIX.r-Tbe marriage and the return.
XX.—The thousand years. XXI and
XXII.—The New Earth. I would urge
all 4b memorize the description of Him
In verses 13-10 until you can close
your eyes and see Him somewhat as
John saw Ilim. Memorize also the
description of Him as given in xlx:
11-18, for then we shall be coming
with Him In Ills glory
