EDITOR'S PREFACE.

Everx good child that goes to the sab-
bath school should seek to become wise
and good, so as to become a teacher by
and by. Sabbath-school teachers ought
to encourage their scholars with the hope
and prospect of future usefulness. In this
way they will set before them the strongest
motives for dutiful conduct.

The experience of little Edith will show
how children may often be rendered useful,
even before they have put away “childish
things.”

It is hoped that the good qualities only
of this young teacher will be imitated.
Her faults and mistakes may serve to
show others how they also are liable to
err; so that they may ever be humble and
anxious for instruction whenever they may
obtain it.
