Teachingßeligion Lesson (or February 6, 1949 SOME PEOPLE, strange to say. don’t believe in Sunday schools. Most North American Protestants do, because Jesus did. The word may not be found in the New Testa- feuSfoi ment, but the thing is there. If Jesus j' '-j'jSjM did not believe that Ihw religion could be «“ taught, then he was * guilty cf wasting much of his time. for he worked at SKeaV ’jwg teaching in season and out of season. Dr. Foreman He was a product of the Sunday School, in a sense. During his childhood he would go to the synagogue school weekdays and especially on Sabbaths; we know that by the time he was grown it was his “custom” to attend synagogue service. And in every Jewish community the synagogue was the place where for two hundred years and more, children and youth and older people had been taught the Word of God. If Christians today are faithful to Christ’s example, we also will keep at the job of teaching our religion to every child within our reach. • • • Body and Soul READERS of the gospels will note that when Jesus went home from the synagogue on the Sabbath, his day’s work was not done. He would spend hours, sometimes til) far into the night, healing people brought to him for cure. Jesus ministered to mind and soul. Jesus was interested in personalities, whole people, not half-people. Our nunds have to be fed. but we live in bodies, and bodies have no little to do with personalities. Jesus was not content with teaching sick people; he made sick people well. ’So the church today, if it is faithful to Christ's principles, will consider people as complete personalities. • • • The Common People WE FIND that Jesus did not insist on university audiences. Indeed, he never spoke to a university audience. His teaching was always in the midst of groups of very plain people. There were great universities in those days, but it was not necessary tor any one to be a graduate of one of their in order to enter Jesus’ school, or to understand what he taught. He taught the plain people plainly In all our teaching we try to use the pupil's language and to put our Chris Van ideas In the thought* that the pupil* can understand. At the best seminaries, young ministers-to be are carefully taught how to put the great Christian doctrines in ways that the simplest people can understand. Teaching over people’s heads is not teaching them at all. • • • God and Fducation I ESUS did not try to teach people carpentry, or arithmetic, or geography. No doubt he could have done so. But he had something more important on his mind something which he alone could teach. He taught religion, or In other words he taught the truth about God. and about man, and about right relations between God and man. So the teaching church, whether in the Sunday school or in the books written by its scholars or in its schools and colleges, when it follows Christ's example, is always leaching religion first and foremost We do not believe that religion is a secondary issue, something you can “take or leave." • • • Religion tn Tw« Feet JESUS did more than talk. He lived. His whole life and character were saying more loudly and plainly what his words said. So the Christian church to day, when It ’* faithful to Ctiri*t. must tranj'str into sctusl living the fa’th she to rhe* In Stnday ncbctl lessen*, tn catechism* and bock* and sermon*. Wh-t we do ns Christian*. »meaks louder than that we say. Even Euridny aehcol terchcr need* to remender that wb»t i* said on Sunday is Important, but what the teacher dec* as Monday is more impressive by far The reason why Jesus was mote effective than Jdip the Baptist was that John, after all. m a Voice, while Jesus was a Frieri Are you who teach other* about Cod simply a Voice?

When the former’s son is killed in an auto Accident and his world topples about him, friends persuade him to seek solace in a trip abroad. In China he watches his brother in action among afflicted Chinese children, and begins for the first ti-pie to see inside the soul of selflessness.

ment board. Another good way to prevent home fires and unnecessary loss of heat is to keep chimneys and flues : soot-free and in good repair. Chimneys may be checked for cracks by building a smudge fire in the heatI ing unit and closing the flue at intervals. While ascending, smoke will seep through chimney walls wherever there are cracks. One major cause of fires origin-1 ating in the heating area is the improper storage of ashes. All ashes should be stored in galvanized steel ash cans until they can be disposed of permanently. These fireproof cans are equipped with close-fitting covers to snuff out smoldering aches. Bust-res i‘tent galvanized steel containers also are recommended for storing refuse and kindling in the heating area. Under no circumstances, safety officials warn,
