INTERESTING PAPER ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS. AS A CHARACTER-BUILDER FOR CHILDREN THERE CAN BE NO BETTER TRAINING. Following is the paper prepared and read by Miss Lillian Salters at Union Rally Day exercises, held at Union church, Salters, on Wednesday. August 7, but received too late for publication last week: THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL AS A CHARACTER-BUILDING FORCE. The fact that you are here today shows me that you are interested in C.'ir.^au.ertVirx-.le Kilt VlAU,' flppn JS VOllT U UUUftJ 'OVUVVIU, W v. V t.v? v.v?r interest? Do you, who are parents, feel that it is necessary to the development of your child? Perhaps the dearest wish of every parent's heart is to have his children "make good" in the best sense of the word ?to have them develop into the best men and women,mentally, morally and physically, and to this end you are striving. Perhaps you are making sacrifices that they may I have the best mental and physical training, but are you neglecting the moral and religious training that will give them the greatest of all human assets, a beautiful Christian character? The world today is asking for men of character to fill positions of honor and trust. Are we seeing to it that the children of our community are being prepared to take their place in the battle of life? "The child is father to the man" in character as well as physical de velopment, and for that reason we should stand invincibly for his right to be properly taught. The younp children in our midst need our help first by example and then by precept. Let us look at the period of early childhood and try to discover the psychological situation. When the child comes into the world his consciousness is a blank, he has to master every detail of the world aboul him, but owing to his inherent instincts and tbe plastic condition ol his brain and mind he quickly forms percepts and concepts and reaches out in eager expectancy to discover relationships of all kinds. He now acquires hi3 ideas of the world about him, of himself and of God. Froebel, the man who has done more for little children than any other educator, says, "The care oi the life of a child's inner and higher feeling, disposition and ideas belongs certainly to the most delicate, and yet, the most important and difficult part of his nature. From it springs all and develops all that is highest and noblest in the life of the individual and the race, and ultimately all religious life which is at one with God in disposition, thought and deed." Early childhood is the period of formation of habits that endure a lifetime; habits that involve and endanger such important principles as truthfulness and honesty. The mind of the child is ever open to receive all impressions, and once received they can never be entirely obliterated. We all know it is rare that a person has enough force of will and determination to offset influences brought to bear in early childhood. The mind and heart of the child is like a delicate instrument that responds to and indelibly registers all impressions. Again Froebel says, "You must keep holy the being of the little child. Protect it from every rough and rude impression, every toucn 01 the vulgar; a touch, a look, a sound, is often sufficient to inflict savage wounds. A child's soul is more tender and vulnerable than the finest and tenderest plant." This is a psychological fact, and one that ought to make us, on the one hand, fearful of our responsibility of example and teaching, and, on the other hand, joyful because of the opportunity to make an endur/ ing impression for the good of the child and the glory of God. Let us then take advantage of our opporitunity and present and clinch the facts of the religious world through the church and Sunday-school. Let us watch his environment to the extent of our power, removing the things that would dwarf him in soul and body, and bringing him in contact w;th all forces that contribute to the making of the highest type of individual. J am sure you will all agree that one of the best means of training children is through the Sundayschool. There is an old maxim that says that a child is made or marred I at the age of six, ana tnere is a good deal of truth in it. If this is the case, then it seems that the sensible thin? to do is to get hold of him before he is that age and interest and hold him all his life. There is no doubt about this?the Sundayschool can hold him for one reason, and that is because Jesus Christ is presented, and He is the vitalizing force that will keep him. The most of us are concernedjenough about our | business and we are very positive , % about the children attending scnooi j every day without fail. Should we 7 not let them see that we are equally | in earnest about Sunday-school? It isn't much of a task to make them go, for as a rule they like it. Give T the youngster a chance and there is enough of the divine in him to do the rest. He may not understand : F all his teacher says, but later in life it will flash across his "inward eye" I as a light to lighten up the dark A places of life. Let us be sure of the fact that every child in our community has a chance to study the Bible under ei competent teachers and to grow up w in the power and shadow of God's jV wonderful love and grace. Give them a chance to inhibit ideas of si vice and worthlessness with ideas of right living and right thinking. "But," you say, "the average 0] Sunday-school does not meet these c< needs." Well, why not? The aver- S aire Sundav-school is made by the average citizen. You are the aver- c age citizen, and if your Sunday- D school does not meet your needs it ^ ought to be a clarion call to duty g for every man and woman in that m community to do some hard thinking and some hard working to see that it does fill the place it was intended to fill. Miss Salters' paper was so excel- T lent that the congregation decided unanimously to request The County Record to publish it. W. BANK OF HEMINGWAY.
