Excerpt from A Model Superintendent: A Sketch of the Life, Character, and Methods of Work of Henry P. Haven of the International Lesson Committee
NO exhibit of a right spirit and of wise methods in any sphere of human activity is so effective as when shown in a life that has been actually lived. There is a temptation to question whether any ideal of a symmet rical character is practically attainable. It is useless to deny that what a man has been and has done is a possi bility, in spite Of all Obstacles. Therefore it is that the best working model for Sunday-school superintendents is - a model superintendent. The subject of this sketch furnishes such a model; not a faultless pattern for exact reproduction, but an illustrative model to work by and to improve on. Mr. Haven might have been presented as a model man of business, as a model citizen, as a model Christian steward for his course in each of those spheres was worthy of imitation. But his pre-em inent success was as a Sunday-school superintendent therefore about that department of his varied activities the facts of this story of his life are clustered.
