Brooklyn Father.

Brooklyn Father.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Your edi-
torial last Sunday on the widespread ignorance
OF the Bible among young as we'll as old folks In
this country was read by me with exceeding
interest.
have been here about fourteen years. am
married here. and have three sons. two Of whom
have attended Sunday school since they were 0
years of age. The oldest is now l2 years. and
although bright and intelligent and clever in
the daily school, has got hut little general
knowledge of the Bibles and this in spite of the
fact that mako him study his weekly lesson
until he knows 1t TO perfection. 1t has, however.
for years been perfectly plain to me why his
knowledge In this respect Ia so limited. In my
opinion, 1t is not the fault OF the boy, but the
fault of the method of instruction. and that in
turn, is attributable to the want of proper books
from which to study.
The Bible in Ito unabridged form Is too vo-
luminous for any child to study. and the lam
guage, being hard to comprehend and learn.
makes II unlnterestinR and tedious work for the
young mind to wade through not to mention
that the Old Testament 10 In places unit FOR
children 10 read on account Of its vulgarity.
These reasons are undoubtedly the cause Of the
publication OF pamphlets which treat Biblical
subjects in q modified form. One Of my several
objections TO these pamphlets Ia that they are
issued without any regard whatsoever for the
chronological course of events, tho subjects
treated eaCh quarter or half year following each
other In an indiscriminate manner thus entire
y confusing tho pupil In general and compre-
hensve knowledge of the Bible. II the Bible
was taught sy Systematically. as 1t is taught in my
native country, no child would have any excuse
for not knowing 1t to perfection when ho was IA
years OF age.
In my opinion what Is needed Ia a comprehen-
sivo synopsis Of the Bible. In book form, written
in modern language. in the form OF a tale. each
event following in chronological order, and
leaving out all but tho most important names of
persons and places. The book should not cover
moro than from 200 to 500 pages. Another. but
much smaller book, should contain the most
important golden texts, the Ten Command
Inents. the Lords Prayer. &c. Those two books
the pupil would have timc to study, and as ho
would fnd 1t interesting reading. would Ike IL
and be able to learnit. Tho pam phlets by which
the Bible 10 taught now are uninteresting. and
the frequent changes OF tho subject, regardless
child. and would confuse any grown person un-
less he knew the Bible beforehand.
