30. “Ζ. Α. Β.,” London. It is remarkable that two of our correspondents, for this month, have called our attention to the same subject, namely, a periodical devoted mainly, if not exclusively, to Sunday school work. We cannot but look upon such a thing as a desideratum—a positive want, at this moment, and we should heartily rejoice to see such a work undertaken by a competent hand. It would, we doubt not, be immensely useful. Sunday school workers could, through such a medium, communicate with one another. Questions might be asked and answered; interesting cases might be recorded; scenes from real life presented; actual experiences given; hints and suggestions furnished as to the best method of teaching the dear children. In short, in a thousand ways, a Magazine of this kind would, we believe, prove most helpful, interesting, and instructive to thousands engaged in this most blessed field of christian labor. As to a title, we should suggest the following, “The Sunday School Worker. A magazine designed for the help and encouragement of all who are engaged in this branch of christian service.” [Communications may be sent, care of Mr. Morrish, 24, Warwick Lane.]
31. “A Christian,” Swansea. All you say is most true, both as to the evil and the remedy; but your communication is too local and personal to appear in a magazine for general circulation.
32. “A. H. F.,” Boyle. It is greatly to be feared that very many mistake their own inclinations for the movings of the Spirit of God—a terrible mistake! It needs much brokenness, self-emptiness, and singleness of eye to discern and follow the precious leadings of the Holy Ghost. As a general rule, we should say that where the glory of Christ is the exclusive object of any act to which we feel led, we may conclude that it is the Spirit that moves us. The Lord is so gracious that we can fully count upon Him to guide, and keep, and use us, where the heart is simple.
33. “L. Μ. Y.” We could not recommend the publication of your lines.
Note.—Want of space compels us to leave a large number of letters unanswered. We have before us, at this moment, a mass of Correspondence which would demand an entire number for replies. We trust our friends will bear with us.
