Perhaps no question more frequently assails the prospective Sunday School teacher than this: How can I best prepare myself to be ready for any problem that arises in the class, to have a satisfying and scientific answer to any question, and to be so richly supplied with truth that I can teach my pupils as they deserve to be taught?
