Excerpt from Our Part in the World
The Beacon Course in Religious Education aims to acquaint the pupils who use it with the relationships into which they are progressively entering, and to develop their native impulse to live as they ought to live who are heirs to so great obligations and privileges. As the course progresses, the emphasis on personal responsibility becomes, quite naturally, more and more pronounced. At the senior period of the pupil's development, approximately at the ages of fifteen, sixteen and seventeen, the time seems to have arrived to present a direct challenge to each one to face frankly his or her own life problem, to assume responsibility for self-direction, and to enlist in the army of those who strive for the promotion of human well-being.
This manual is prepared especially for pupils fifteen years old, but will be found helpful to those who, at whatever age, are at the threshold of the self-directed life. It points out the place of the individual in that complex of physical and spiritual forces into which he has now fully entered, indicating the ways in which he may do his part. The desire to get into the game of fife is intense with young people in the senior period. Just how to accomplish that purpose and to meet adequately the ever-widening demands and opportunities that come to them may best be set before the inquiring mind by those who, like the author of this manual, have traveled this way with open eyes and sympathetic understanding, and have through all preserved the spirit of youth.
