CHILDREN LEARN
THROUGH Seeing
EDUCATORS AGREE THAT SENSE
OF SIGHT IS THE GREATEST
POSSIBLE HELP TO LEARNING
GET THE CHILDREN A 70.
RUM BIBLE.

Somebody has said that the eyes of
a child r able to give to the
brain all the knowledge that it
needs.
Pictures r what the child eauy
needs. Where words will mean moth
ing to them, they will instantly grasp
the meaning of q picture and the
thought expressed is permanently
photographed on their minds.
children soon learn to love the BIZ
bic which is now being distributed by
The Forum, for it is literally filed
with pictures from cover to cover.
These + not ordinary embellish-
ments, such as are usually found in
so-called illustrated Bibles, but each
picture is specially drawn with thought
behind 1.-THE dominant idea being to
make plain the particular verse which
the picture accompanies. Think what
this means to the "grown-ups" as well
as the children.
Educators all say that pictures are
the best possible help to learning.
n none of Us are too old to learn.
Even though one may not be afHliat-
ed with a church society. he will be
interested in the educational adyant-
age offered in this great book of
books.
Look for the educational certificate
another page Of this issue and
learn how you may have one of these
magnificent Bibles for your very own.
You will surely never have another
opportunity like this. Take advantage
of 1t at once.
