Teaching Children in the Faith
By Christian Standard
The prophet of the Lord said, "Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of Heaven." In all false systems of religion great care is taken to enlist the children. They are carried to the temples in their infancy, and are taught to take part in the worship. Christian people may learn a lesson here. The children are the hope of the church and of the world. There is no work more important than to teach and to train them in the way they should go. They can give before they do anything else. When they give to any cause they will feel interested in it. If parents and Sunday-school workers do their duty now the prediction will be fulfilled: "Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth."—Christian Standard.
