Excerpt from Child Religion in Song and Story: Walks With Jesus in His Home Country
In putting forth this, the second volume of Child Religion in Song and Story, it has seemed wise to adhere to the same general method as in the first volume. While the somewhat formal plan of the book, presenting each lesson in the setting of a service, makes its appeal to the Sunday-school teacher especially, it is felt that it cannot injure the use of the book in the home. There, as well as in the Sunday-school, it may be a great aid in the development of religious life, and such portions of each service as do not lend themselves to home work can easily be omitted. To the Sunday-school teacher the grouping of available elements in the preparation for the Sunday-school hour is very helpful.
While the present volume of Child Religion in Song and Story, Walks with Jesus in His Home Country, need not necessarily be preceded by the earlier volume which is now entitled The Child in His World, we believe that the teacher will find herself able to present the lessons of this book with greater appreciation if she has already used the preceding series of lessons, and has become accustomed to the grouping of ethical ideas in a series, and emphasizing such ideas through a continuous period.
As in the former volume, an attempt is made to give to each day"s service unity of theme through careful selection of songs, prayers, song texts, and story, all to be supplemented and enforced by the manual work. In some lessons in this volume it has, however, been somewhat more difficult to maintain throughout the service its unity of theme, because the lesson was rather the introduction of the child into a social situation preparatory to emphasis upon an ethical theme in a later lesson. Teachers arc therefore warned that they will not find in every lesson the unity which prevails in the greater number of them.
