Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Teacher, the Child, and the Book: Or Practical Suggestions and Methods for Sunday-School Workers
I think the time has come to sound a warning in no uncertain tone in regard to the Bible. On all sides we hear people complaining of the spread of infidelity, and of the difficulty of keeping young people in the church. If Sabbath-school teachers and Christian workers in general believed more firmly in the Old Book, and pro claimed their belief, we should not have so much cause for complaint.
Childhood is the best time to train one in the Bible. Verses and lessons learned in' early years are seldom erased from the memory. It is often the only time for such training. When -a boy goes to school, and from school to college or into business, he has other studies and duties to occupy his attention, and unless he has previously been grounded in the Word the deficiency can hardly ever be made good. The training that Timothy received is what is needed to - day: From a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures. Scholars catch the spirit of their teacher, and whether the teacher is a firm or a lukewarm believer in the Bible the class will grow up with the same spirit.
