Doctrinal teaching is desirable in Sunday
schools in order to reap the reward sought
for, and from all teaching, even from the
youngest to the oldest classes, it should be
taught but doctrinal teaching is not al

bible, which can be made profitable by
making it thoroughly scrlpiural. The

that He came to give His life for us.
These doctrines arc the instruments by

Rev Mr.. Dayfoot thought that we should
not undertake 10 FIJI orr children with The
sovereignty Of God because it was doc,rl-
nal, but should be ned with the sincere
milk of the word, which is love and
knowledge Of God. and when that is learned
