Our Geography Class

We have several copies of the series “Little People of Other Lands,” which we find very interesting. In the recitation we have, as a rule, taken the lesson in the text-book first. After that is finished, we talk of the religions of the country and of its civilization, noting the difference, in civilization, education, and all branches of industries, between Protestant countries and those of the Roman Catholic faith. We speak of the rise of the national church, whatever that church may be, and then of the progress of the third angel’s message there.

From the “Outline of the Mission Fields,” published by our people, we learn the progress of the advent message, the number of our missionaries, their location, number of Seventh-day Adventist churches, and number of members, together with many other interesting items.

The children thoroughly enjoy this study for its up-to-date facts, and the names of many of the missionaries are familiar to them. I have an envelope marked “Missionary Items,” and into that I put cuttings from the REVIEW. Every interesting item and report from other lands, within the last year, is kept, and read to the children when we study the country mentioned.
