RELIGIOUS EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN.
THE PARENTS" DUTY EXPLAINED.
HINTS FOR AN INTELLIGENT STUDY OF THE BIBLE.
THE REV. NOEL EVANS ADDRESS IN THE CATHEDRAL
The Rex Nool Evans, preaching at St. John's Cathedral on Sunday morning, dealt with the subject of religious education for. children between the years of 7 and 14"
The Preacher stressed the importance of an intelligent study of the Old Testament, especially the History of the Jewa, bas alsa suggested that certain of the most beautiful, pasenges from the poetic books should be learned by heart. Emphasie was laid on the fact that after about 14 or 15 children begin to form their own ideas and religious instruction in the home must begin long before, they reach that age.
Taking his text from Deuteronomy VI. v. 67 "These words " thou shalp teach into thy children the preacher said: Forming Their Own Views At 16.
Now that the children are baving their holdays let us take the op- portunity of thinking over a few ideas on religious education for children between the ages of 7 and 14.
* י
Somewhere about the age of 14 or 16 a child becomes highly cri- tical. Even though still at school he is forming his own views of like, and relating life to his own ex- perience. He is lees willing to accept the bidding of authority, if it runs counter to his own ideas. "Experience will teach him-persua- tiveness will guide him ond of course · admiration for great men and women, for heroes, will draw him as by a magnet to fine ways of living. But the age of authority is
past.
Opportunity Comes Earlier.
If a parent wishes to form the religious ideas of his children, and every parent naturally does wish to, his great opportunity comes earlier. The first habits of prayer the first ideas of right and wrong the first growing ideas of a wonderful night and day about my path and about my bed these are given by the Mother in the earliest stages, and It will be an ladifferent and a strange Mother who is not interest- ed and who does not bake the trou-
can find out what each child feels about the stories and parables, and then can help that particular child to a right appreciation. The class is too big to give much individual attention. But all children of this Age need it and respond to it, and is the parents who can and should give Do not be afraid of mira- ses or of any question to which you have no complete answer. Children are not really critical at this age, their questions are honest efforts to grasp and understand a story, and so long as your answer is the best attempt to explain that Fou can give, they will be satisfied.
Parests should now and then ask their children what are their favourite stories and parables. What they mean. They should heat for themselves what has been learnt by beart in school, and they should show a little appreciation for good work.

What Parts Of The Bible? Now come the questions: What parts of the Bible should be readi
What should be learnt by heart And what pictares ought we to show1"
First and foremost all the Gospels should be read right thro' and more than once. In school only selected passages or selected booka are taught.
Time in school is so short that a lot has to be left undone. Then remember that in school it is a lesson-it is work. And it is done in a class with ten, twenty or thirty other children. A teacher will see that the children know somebung about the Gospels, but it will be only the exceptional teacher who
They will find the two books off Maccabees in the Apocrypha quite interesting it read along with a good short history. And there are same wonderful chapters in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos and Hosea which bear on Jewish history. But Ezekiel, Lamentations, and most of the minor prophets can be cafety ignored at this age
Now, however, we come to a part of the Old Testament which many people find more difficult either to understand or to teach,,
Jonah And The Whale: The Eight
Way To Begard It, Apart from the history there are several books which contain stories like that of Bath, Job, Jonah and the Whale, Daniel in lions den, etc. Some of these stories unfortunate- ly give trouble to parents. The son is that the parent calls the stories as part of Jewish history "Tontinued on nezt Column),
instead of as part of Jewish litera-
ture.
Why did the Jewish parent teach the whale do you think his child the story of Jonah and
Was it because he was interested in whales? It was not! It was because he thought his son ought to know that God's mercy was so great that even sinners like the people of Nineveh might be forgiven. His son might find it difficult to believe, but God's mercy really was as wide as that. Why should we in telling these stories tell them with any different idea from that of the Jewish parent.

Pictures.
New Testament beyond what has been said about the Gospels-for I want to say a word about pictures.
If we care that our children get true and vivid impressions of Jesus and the Bible stories, we must see that they do not only have a bare text, of the Bible to look at-wON- derful as it is. They need maps and they need pictures.
