SUGGESTIONS FOR BIBLE STORIES.
By Early Education
Many parents are perplexed to find interesting stories for their children. So they hunt here and there, in every story-book they can find, to get something simple and wonderful to attract the attention of their little ones. Many suppose they must have some of Mother Goose’s rhymes, or the story of “Little Red Riding Hood,” or something of that sort; for, they say, the children can not understand very much, so we must get something easy. Do not be deceived. Give the children something worthy of a little mental effort. Of course they can understand but little, but give them lofty subjects to dwell upon. You will be surprised how much they will take in of Bible truth when told in a bright, cheery way. Perhaps there is more demand for some interesting stories for Sabbath than for other days. The Bible will be found to be intensely interesting to even very small children. It is full of wonderful stories, of stories that will make the heart glad, stories that will make you weep, and stories that will hold the attention as nothing else will. But you say, “They can not understand it.” Neither can you nor I understand it all. So the sooner we begin to study it the better.
