1 Corinthians 4:14-21 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.… The teacher must be himself his own illustration. And he must aim at the highest. His example will be their standard. This is natural. A pupil teacher at school used to gain a good deal of popularity by writing a line or two on the copy-books of the children in his class. One day the head teacher said, "Do you know Why the boys like you to write the first line in their copy-books?" "I suppose it is because they think I am a good writer," replied the conceited youth. "No; it is because they know you are a bad one," was the answer. "The headline is perfect, and hard to follow. Yours is such a poor copy, that any one can imitate it quite easily."
