Teaching the Sabbath School Lesson

By Joyce M. Fields

JOYCE M. FIELDS

I HAVE found the eye-gate pictures in the Sabbath School Worker very helpful in teaching the weekly Sabbath school lesson to our five-year-old daughter; and thinking that perhaps some other mother might make profitable use of our method, I pass it on.

The articles used are an attractive composition book (and be sure it will endure usage), a box of colored crayons, and the Memory Verse Cards. I start the lessons on the second leaf of the book, thus leaving a blank page on the left-hand side. At the top of the right-hand page I write the subject of the lesson, the scripture text, and the memory verse. Just below I draw the pictures from the Worker, using colored crayons. We then study the lesson together; and after the small maid has gone over it a number of times with me, she takes the book to her father, explains the pictures, and tells him the story of the lesson. This helps her to remember, and we can find out if she has the right ideas on important points. When she can tell the story, I give her the Memory Verse Card.

and she pastes it on the blank page opposite the eye-gate picture.

This book is one of her most prized possessions. By this method she has been able to memorize all the verses for the last two quarters, with the references, and is very ambitious to learn more.
