TEACHERS AND THE BIBLE.
Sir, —Without attempting to reply to tho many queries of Mr, George Largo's two letters, much less venturing an opinion as to how far Church and Sunday School have done their respective duties in the matter of Christian education to tho people, I yet venture to assort that there is no question of teachers being required to take up and do duties neglected (allegedly) by tho ministers. Beyond doubt it is their duty, and my extensive knowledge of ministers and Churches assures me that such duty is, by most clergy, faithfully attended to. But it is a woeful mistake to suppose that upon these agents alone lies the whole onus, and that their .failure (supposing Mr. Large's opinion to bo correct) excuses every other Christian person, especially parents, from themselves giving the essential spiritual teaching to their children. The command, "Feed My Lambs," remains the Master's test of thoso who affirmatively answer, "Lovest Thou me ? I trust Mr. Large has his place among the lamb-feeders. Frank Jameson.
