Will May Come
Irving King then spoke on "Imita-
ton and Religious Development
King said: Il would have you con-
slider what has already been related
to two kinds of teaching.
/. Teaching for imparting informa-
ton.
2. For promoting growth.
"For a working idea it is we'll to
keep these distinctions in mind. Most
of our teachers in our day and Sab
bath schools have promoted the Sec
ond phase to large extent. Our
teaching is for having influence upon
the many changes that are occurring
during the life from childhood to ma
turity. The child is in state to be-
lieve from its teachers. 1t seems
that a person who has a strong love
and sympathy, but lacking in scien-
tifc methods will make better prog
ress than one with just the opposite
qualities.
''In the first place we may say that
a little child lisa bundle of disunited
impulses. Sooner or later these dis
united impulses come into conflict and
must be modified. Now it is the duty
Of the teacher to help the child TO
modify and use these to 4 better pnr-
pose in later life. Among tie many
things that the child must learn are
1roral values. How is he to learn
about these? Shall we arrange Sunday
school children up in row and tell
them the bare facts? It is a fac;
that we do things and then get the
values later, so it is with the child,
he will learn these and then get the
value We would be surprised how
many things we do that other peo-
pie do every day. But so long as we
do these because we have some object
and not to initiate others we are justi-
fed. A little child does not try to
walk because it is trying to initiate
some one but because it has a tremen-
dous desire to learn to walk. Later
we find the child initiating people
the boy living near the railroad want
ing to become an engineer, and just SO
will they acquire these moral values
of life.
eff child lives in the midst of
a people who have spirited ideas, are
engaged in experimental work, these
distracted ideas will be collected and
he will unconsciously initiate them
and grow in Christianity. The reason
for the success of teachers of person.
atty over teachers who lack this is
due to the fact that little folks grasp
the example set by their teachers. We
can always count upon the reaching
out of the lite child and then after
the doing, the grasping of these val
ues.
"Things that every teacher, every
parent must keep in mind are the mo-
dels, the copies and examples that
they must set for the child. How
much more important is the conduct
of the teacher than ideas or knowl-
edge"
Tuesday Afternoon.
The afternoon session opened with
singing "To the Work.
Edgar Stranahan then offered pray
err. Sylvester Newlin then spoke on
the subject of missions.
Mr.. Newlin said: "God has shown
us by two thousand of years of church
history that missions have an import
ant place in church work. There is
more surely detrimental to
character as simple selfshness. 1t is !
so easy for us to start that selfish |
idea down way in our own homes. IF |
we members of this Bible Institute
would go out with these three ques-
lions: "What can I know" "What |
ought [ to do?' and "For what NAV
hope?' We would be able to do
more and better work than ever be-
fore.''
'We too often forget in our sue
cess that We are doing Gods work
and plan in our own way before put
ing our hand in Gods and asking his
advice.
