by a writer in the Charlotte Ob

more refreshing or more sugges
tive of rural surroundings than to
litan to those negroes sing and
chant their strange songs. The
negro voice is distinctly alone in
comparison with the voices of
other tuples. There is a coarse

or grating, but even appealing
and sympathetic in their singing

accents, those mellow cadences of
the Anglo-Saxon or any other
voice. The notes arc simple, un

to waft into so-called music."

LESSONS OF THE QUARTER.
The Gospel of John was writ
en, "that ye might believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God: and that believing ye might
have life through his name." The
essons of these three months
opened with the teaching tha
Jesus Christ was the manifest
ion of God in the flesh. Tn the
beginning the Vord was with
God and the Word was God. . .

dwelt among us." In the Summer
of the year A. D. 26, John the
Baptist came preaching repent
ance and testified to the Christ,
who went to him in the wilderness
and was baptized in Jordan. The
calling of the first disciples
teaching the importance of per
sonai work was brought to us in
the third lesson. In the next les
son we are taught, the sacredness
of the house of God. Jesus
boldly drives from the temple
those who are making it a place
of merchandise. The fifth lesson
is the story of salvation. The
conversation with Nicodemus and
the proclamation of the wonder
f ul love of God for a sinful world.
Immediately following this we
study the method of Christ as he
conversed with the woman of
Samaria at the well. He tells
that He is the Living water. The
Nobleman's Son is healed, the
lame man at the pool of Bethesda
receives strength and the five
thousand are fed. To the gather
ed hosts the following day Jesus
proclaims himself as the bread of
life' and we learn that spiritual
blessing is the gift of the Mas
ter as well as temporal gifts. In
the laat lesson Jesus heals the
blind beggar and the man accepts
him as the Christ.

TEACHING HINTS.
The importance of the teacher's
office cannot be over-estimated.
The teacher is the hinge upon
which the Sunday school swings.
Other things being equal, th6
difference between . success and
failure in the work of a Sunday
school teacher is usually the mat
ter of preparation.

have general preparation. 1.
A knowledge of the Bible. 2. t
A knowledge of pedejrogy. 3.

Lincoln's Advice.
(Northwestern Christian Advocate.)
Mr. Lincoln often preached
what he called a sermon to his
boys. It was: "Don drink;
don't gamble; don't smoke; don't
cheat. Love your fellow-men, love
God, love truth, love virtue and
be happy." He taught temper
ance by ettmple and by precept,
and on several occasions suggested
to young men "not to put this ene
my in their mouths to steal away
their brains." While visiting
General Grant's army on the Po
tomac, an officer asked - Mr. Lin
coln to drink a glass of cham
pagne, laying: "Mr. President,
that is a certain cure for sea-sickness."
Mr. Lincoln replied that
he "had seen many fellows sea
sick ashore from drinking that vile
stuff."
