THE NEW TEACHER TRAINING
COURSE.
By Rev. C. O'N. Martindale.
The Westminster Standard Teacher
Training Course, First Year of Standard
First Course, (Presb'n Com. of Publ'n,
! 25 cts.)?This is the First Year's hnnU
I revised, under the editorship of Rev. A.
! L. Phillips, D. D., and it is such a thorough
revision as to utterly eclipse the
' first one issued several years ago for its
remarkable clearness, simplified thought,
analytical keenness, well-balanced exI
pression; and is up to the latest stani
dards of International Sunday School
' Teacher Training requirement. Pedagogically
it will rank high.
There are forty-one lessons, including
five reviews, and at the close of each |

eliciting questions. It is a "book tor an
average as well as a superior teacher,
striking a happy medium in its collocaI
tion of material and adaptation to the
student.
The first term deals with THE BIBDE
, (its Name, Origin, Authority), Bible
Geography, and Old Testament History
(five periods); while the second term
takes up New Testament History (four
lessons), Bible Worship and Customs,
Chief Bible Doctrines. This part of the
book is written so smoothly and interestingly,
it reads like a real story, as it is
indeed.

THE PUPIL?Why Studied, and the
several periods of Infancy, Childhood,
Early, Middle, and Late Adolescence.
Some fine expert work has been executed
here; we could wish the little details
of explication were less numerous and
more crystallized, however.
The fourth term examines THE
TEACHER AND TEACHING?the Person
Teaching, Preparation of the Lesson,
the Laws and Methods of Teaching,
Illustrations, and Questions. Here is
much that is forceful and elucidative;
but there is also a wordiness of detail
that is capable of finer reduction and
less of the fanciful.
The fifth term treats of THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL as an Institution of the
Church?its Control, Organization, Equipment,
and Instruction, Worship and Discipline,
Special Departments and Methods
of Work, the Organized Adult Class,
Spiritual Life, the Sunday School Movement.
Here again is improved work,
but too multiplied and unnecessary details.
What is done is well done; but
this section is notably lacking in historical
data, even of the pivotal kind, save
of very recent years.
The book is well bound in heavv na- I
per, leaded print, the main points of
each paragraph being summed up in a
word or words along the margin. We
wish there had not been such arbitrary
emphasis by type here and there through- ,
out, as it spoils the artistic effect and
lessens the appreciation of the emphasis
where really necessary. It would seem
but fair, too, that the various authors'
names be attached to their respective
productions as well as~ the editor's own.

cirticism, however, does not militate x
against its intrinsic worth as a fitting
and necessary course for every Sunday
School officer and teacher in fact or in
prospect. It belongs in the forefront
of the many courses of various denominations
for the betterment of the work of
the Sunday School teacher and trainer
of teachers. We commend it to the attention
of every progressive minister,
superintendent, teacher, and parent. If
more consideration were given such in
our churches, there would be less complaint

I see not a step before me
As I tread on another year,
But the past is still in God's keeping,
The future His mercy shall clear,
And what looks dark in the distance
May brighten as I draw near.
