Making Them Think

NOV some teachers, trying to be
- simple, succeed only in being
dull. The good teacher must keep
the class awake, otherwise no one
can learn anything. There is a
good motto which might be bor-
rowed by all Sunday school teach
ers: Nothing that is not interest
ing; not everything that is interest
ing; nothing merely because it is
interesting"
Jesus gained attention and in
terest in various ways. One was
the cryptic" nature of his
teaching; that is, it was often
puzzling. There was often some
thing that sent listeners away
thinking: Now what did he
mean by that?
Confucius once remarked: Il give
my pupil one corner of an idea. If
he cannot get the other three
corners for himself, l do not want
him for my pupil" So Jesus often
gave out one corner of a truth and
let his hearers (and ourselvesD
Nrestle out the other three.

Greatest of Teachers

livery Sunday school teacher, or
Z any other sort, for that matter,
should study the methods of Jesus
to see what good teaching can be.
He is and will always be THE
Teacher.
His object was not to teach
science or history. The only
technique he taught was the
most important of all-the tech
nique of fine living. His object
was to teach ''what we are to
believe concerning God, and
what duties God requires of
man"
In short, his subjects were Faith
and Life, not separately but welded
into one

Truth in Pictures

Truth Ill PICTURES
THEN Jesus taught in pictures;
Z we call them parallels. The
bestowed and remembered parts
of his teachings are the stories he
told. Every one of them was sim
pie; they were about the kinds of
people his listeners knew or had
often heard of
The good teacher will always
use illustrations. But the best
ones will come right out of the
experience Of the pupils. Jesus
never quoted from a book his
hearers had not read. He never
used Illustrations that only a
Pho. could understand. Fur
therm0re, he never tried to
teach two things at once.
A teacher, looking over a Sunday
school lesson, may find it full of
suggestive ideas; but it is general
ly better to pick out one truth and
illustrate it in several ways, as
Jesus did when speaking of the
Kingdom of God, than it is to try
to bring out everything that could
be brought out, and so confusing
the class.

Down Where We Live


uIS method was always simple.
: : He did not use long words, he
did not put his hay on such high
shelf that only intellectual giraffes
could reach it." as Billy Sunday
expressed it. Common people heard
him gladly, because he taught in
the kind of language they used, he
spoke of things that were familiar
to them.
SO the good teacher today
never teaches over the heads
of the class. This means he
has TO have a good imagination,
has to make believe to himself
that he is one of the class in
stead of the teacher. He has
20 remember how the world
looked to him when he was
boy, he has to stay young in
heart.
Jesus could surely have taught
more profoundly than he did. In
deed, he said at the end of his
days, 81 have many things to say
but We cannot bear them now"
However true a thing might be,
he would not say it if his hearers
were not ready for it.

ARE YOU. AGING?

In our last column we spoke of
the Women's Voluntary Services of
Britain as reported by Mrs. Phyllis
Young, one of WVS's founders, at
the International Chronological
Congress (the science of aging) in
st. Louis this autumn. One of the
most striking services this group
of women provide in their planned
spare time is "Meals-on-Wheels." "
This name was coined, Mrs. Young
says, by one of their American
members. ....
Today Meals-on- Wheels provides
over $4,000 cooked meals a week
and delivers them to the sick and
homebound people of advancing
age. The meals are not free. They
are provided for a charge of as
little as eleven cents each with the
remainder of the cost, usually five
or six cents, paid by the munich
pality. The meals are served hot,
being delivered in especially made
containers by canteen truck or in
the private automobile of the WIS
workers themselves.
This service not only prevents
many older people from having to
go to the hospital for care but al
so, if they have been under care in
hospital, enables them to come
back to their homes earlier than
would otherwise be possible. The
WIS not only brings necessary
and nutritious food to the confined
person but with it brings friendli-
ness and encouragement and, in
some cases, books and magazines
desired by the home-bound person.
Physicians and hospitals use this
and other services of the WIS to
the fullest advantage, knowing
that. almost half of the ill or in
capacitated elderly persons are

tation tournament February 1917.
Last year six or eight men came
down from Prince Georges Coun-
try Club, and one of them was a
friend of ours named Bill Heimer.
You can imagine the kidding and
confusion in the tournament list
ings for "Bill' Billhimer and Bill
Heimer. Some of the Manor Club
boys ought to come down and try
their luck. Bob is also an officer
in the Elks Club. ...
81 am just the same as usual.
Love my work at the office and
think my employers are swell. Did
you ever hear of anyone getting a
substantial raise without asking
for it? That happened to me. AS
told you, / work just about two
blocks from home, so get back for
lunch every day. l really enjoy
being in town and having Saturday
off. Find time to knit argyle socks,
sew, and read couple of books a
week, as we'll as go out with Bob,
play cards, etc.
Betty is at the University of
Florida and we enjoyed having her
home for Thanksgiving. She is do
ing exceptionally well and we are
very proud of her. Last Friday
night a group of the college girls
were invited to a shower here for a
friend who graduated from high
school with them. After the
shower, Betty brought eight of her
friends home to spend the night.
The girls came from different COL
leges, but were home for Thanks
giving, so between comparing the
merits of the various colleges, the
boys attending, the songs sung, the
fraternities and sororities, they f.
nally went to bed at $3.50 am.
Bobby is in high school now and
played on the freshman football
team. He got in a lot of games,
and really enjoyed the training and
playing. Our high school has a nice
new athletic building with lockers,
showers, etc., and three fine foot
ball coaches"
Doesn't that sound as if the Bill
miners are really enjoying their
place in the sun? We think of
them as one of the happiest fami-
lies we know. We might explain
that Bob is in charge of one of the
largest cafeterias in Sanford and
Ruth not only works" for Ozier-
Weller Homes, Inc, but she sells
real estate and has designed some
very attractive houses.

able to be cared for at home by the
provision of home services, thus
freeing many hospital beds for
more critical cases. In the event
that there are only a few older
persons to be cared for in vicini-
ty and it is not economical to use
the canteen truck or private car
for the home service of those aged
persons, the Friendly Neighbor
Scheme, which reminds one of the
traditional neighborliness of an
earlier rural America, is brought
into use-the local WIS or one or
more of the immediate neighbors
insures the older patients well be-
ing. Surely America, with its ira
dition of hospitality and help for
others, can also accomplish as
much for its elderly ill and home
bound.

Montgomery SideIights
