netly loft for Dallas, the old home
of the groom. Congratulations.
Jtiss Katie was one of our most esti
mable young ladles and will be
greatly missed in the Sunday school
and church of which she has faith
fully served as organist, but most of
all will she bo missed by the dear
old folks at home. Notwithstanding
the joy at a wedding, there is al
ways a certain sadness connected
with "it that only fond parents can
realize. They have a house already
furnished at Stroudsburg In which
they will at once go to housekeep

Ariel, Pa., January 10.
Duck To Nature.
As I was traveling all alone,
Along a snow-bound road
I chanced to spy a little squirrel,
And tho place of his abode.
He seemed so very happy, -
Contented as could be.
With his little home well stored
with nuts
Within a hollow tree.
A little farther on the way
Wero some sparrows, lit on weeds.
All dressed up in their coats of
gray,
A-pIcking out the seeds.
Thus all of God's Bmall creatures
A lesson to man do teach,
Although In different features
They are conveyed by each.
While some will ever be content
With the food that weeds contain,
Others will have the kernel
And the seeds of golden grain.

WAYNE 8. 8. WOltKEItS' COLUMN
(Mrs. G. C. Abrahams, Editor)
Correspondence for this
column, from nil tlio Sunday
Sunday School workers in tho
county, Is earnestly request
ed. Let ;ijs make, it n verit
able Iloiinil TnbTc, evcryono
being freoTb asR" or answer
any questions relating to Sun'
day School work.
The Primary Department.
Tho Primary Department of tho
Sunday School cares for the children
who are six, seven and eight years
of ago.
The characteristics of children of
this department differ very much
from those in either tho department
proceeding or following this. These
three years are years when the
child's brain is growing rapidly and
Is very susceptible to impressions.
Tho body is never more active. The
children of this department go to
school and their vocabularies are
wonderfully Increased yet their un
derstanding of words is limited as
comnared -with children in the Jun-
ior department. Their experience is
broadening as they come In contact
with outside life. They cannot long
keep their attention on any subject
so the plan of work must be totally
different from that of Juniors, yet
more memory work can bo done than
in the Beginners' department. After
studying seriously the characteristics
and needs of primary children we
should see that our work meets those
needs.
The number of teachers In this
department will dopendupon the
number of scholars. If the number
Is small one person may act as
teacher and superintendent but
where the number is large there
should bo a teacher for every six or
eight children as well as a super
intendent in charge of the depart
ment.
A separate room for Primary
people is very helpful. If they are
In tho main room they are continu
ally seeing something In another
class which takes their attention
from the lesson there is seldom
opportunity to use a blackboard or
pictures. Music and other exercises
suited to the age of the little ones
Is not possible when other classes
are In the same room.
If your school does not have
separate room, and few of our
schools do, provide the best sub
stitute. A vestibule or a room In
a neighbor's house may be used
Perhaps the best substitute Is the
screened corner of which wo spoke
last week In our talk on the "Be-
glnners Department. This room
or corner should be made as attrae
tive as possible. Small chairs are
best for little children. The floor
may be covered with carpet or mat
ting and the walls and celling tint
ed or papered. A musical Instru
ment Is desirable though not an ab
solute necessity.
A blackboard of some kind Is
necessary. This may be stationed
on the wall or In a movable frame, or
a piece of blackboard cloth may have
a straight edge tacked at either
edge and be hung oh the wall. Some
teachers hesitate about procuring a
blackboard feeling that if they had
one they would not be artists enough
to use it. But it does not need an
artist. A person has the attention
of a child as soon as he has a piece
of chalk In his hand. You can put a
dot or a square on the board and
the child will clothe it in his imagi
nation and make of it a man, a
town, or any object you wish. Maps
on a board may be used to great
advantage. Horace said: " Those
things which enter the mind
through the eye make a much more
vivid impression than those which
enter it through the ear." If this
be true every teacher should have
and use a blackboard.
Pictures for each quarter will be
found helpful, and indeed, are al
most a necessity.
A birthday bank or some recepta
cle for the offering Is needed.
A session program should be care
fully planned and systematically car
ried out. It makes tho work easier
and makes the best use of time.
Mrs. Baldwin, our State Elementary
Superintendent, gives the following
suggested program:
1. Soft music.
2. Hand work.
3. Hymn of Praise.
4. Prayer service.
5. Fellowship service. Cradle Roll.
Babies welcomed. Birthdays
noted. Little strangers wel
comed. G, Offering service.
7. Supplemental work If Uniform
Lessons are used; not needed
with Graded Lessons.
8. Song.
9. Lesson story.
10. Closing song or prayer.
11. Distribution of papers.
12. Teachers Conference.
Tho best lessons are the Primary
Graded Lessons. Write to your de
nominntlonal publishing house for In
formation In regard to them. All
teachers who want to do their best
for their scholars should use Graded
Lessons.
If your school still uses Uniform
Lessons be sure to secure the Out
lino for Supplemental Lessons to be
used In connection with tho Uniform
Lessons. Wrlto to tho Pennsylvania
Sabbath School Association, Phila
delphia, Pa., for this Outline.
Wo give below a list of books, any
