Their thoughts are important. But we cannot leave Christian Education to chance. We must not teach just part of the Bible. We must teach the entire revelation of God. Too often the Bible Study Hour has turned into a discussion of some current topic in the new with no biblical application at all.

We must at least show how God's Word applies to the current interest of the pupil. While there is variety and diversity, there is an ultimate unity to which these are finally subject. It gives unity in the midst of diversity. Childhood is a part of the larger unity of humanity which in turn has its place in an ascending hierarchy of unity wherein finally all parts are related to all other parts in a final universal whole and all parts are in pre-established harmony . Without neglecting individual differences, the educator places them in a subordinate position.
