1. _He should attend the regular services of the church regularly._—This can admit of no negative. He should do it for its effect on himself. He should do it as an encouragement to his teachers. He should do it as an example to his pupils.
2. _He should impress habitual church going as a duty upon his teachers and pupils_ from the desk in the Sunday-school room, and should use all means to effect the object.
3. _He should contribute regularly and uniformly to all the benevolent objects_ which the church presents as worthy of Christian liberality. The reasons for this are too plain to need mention.
4. _He should urge to the same duty the teachers and pupils of the school_, that they may each do their part, no matter how small, in the work of Christian benevolence.
5. _He should contribute of his means as God prompts_ him to the support of his church, and not measure himself by the standard of proportionate values. He should also teach the same duty in his school.
6. _He should be loyal to his own particular church_; should know its particular beliefs; should pray for its particular welfare; and fearlessly do whatever lies in his power to promote its purity and peace.
1. Is that of _Coöperation_. The pastor and superintendent should know each other’s plans and purposes thoroughly. The pastor should always be able to feel that in his superintendent he has one upon whom he can depend, who will aid him in his work; share with him a certain portion of the duties devolved upon him, and in all possible ways be like Aaron and Hur, hand upholders in the fight against Amalek.
2. That of _Allegiance_. The pastor is the one man of all the church upon whom all eyes are fixed. Among his multitude of acts, some will be misunderstood. Among the multitude of tongues some will be captious and critical. A spark may kindle a conflagration. The superintendent owes it to church and pastor to be loyal to his pastor and render him the knightly service which the king could expect from the lord. He should also teach the same duty to teachers and pupils in the school.
3. _He should be his Pastor’s Index Rerum_; not his mentor, but his reference, to which he can turn for information concerning affairs in that portion of the church represented by the school. Sick children to be visited, poverty to be helped with true charity, anxious souls looking for the Savior, these and many similar are within the superintendent’s knowledge oft times, when unknown to the pastor. To bring them to the pastor’s knowledge is an evident duty.
