PLEASANT F1ELDS OF HOLY WRIT Save for my daily range Among the pleasant fields of Holy Writ. I might despair —Tennyson THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON. Fourth Quarter. Lesson XI|. December 11th, 1904. STUDY AND SUNDAY SCHOOL METHODS. The ideal primary scholar of the past generation was as motionless and silent as a little carved image. Instead of being : canonized, however, he ought to have been the subject of a pathological inquest. For, to insist that little children shall sit de- murely like old people is physiologically wrong. The fact is that the normal child is mostly a little animal. Development of the body is his chief business. Instinct keeps him in perpetual motion. One mom- | ent it is his vital organs. He laughs, talks, | ories; the latter, though disagreeable, is thought to be most beneficial, especially to the lungs. The next moment he throws out his arms and legs or he reaches and pulls. then follows a bending and contort- ing of the trunk. All the while nature, his invisible monitor, nnconsciously to himself, is taking him through a course in physical culture. The primary teacher who does not take this physiological view of the case, but sees in it all only disorder and disobedience, is to be sincerely pitied. There are expedients furnished by the ad- vanced methods of today by which a rea- sonable degree of order and quiet can he secured without mention of the words, and certainly without upbraiding of the schol- ars. A gesture-song, an object-lesson, simple calisthenics, a walk about the room or through the hall, keeping step to a marching song. If weather permits, a CHILD complete change of atmosphere, by going into the open and a bit of nature study under shelter of some tree is a good device. Singing is also a grateful relief. The child delights in anything rhythmic in sound or motion. * * * * * One of the most beautiful instances of concession $0 the zhild-mind is found in Mrs. Cecil Francis Alexander’s hymn— ‘“T'here ig a green hill far away, Outside a city wall.’ As originally written, in the second line, the word ‘‘without’’ was uced. A small child asked Mrs. Alexander what was meant by ‘‘a green hill not having a city wall and what a green hill wanted with a city wall.”” Determined to be understood, | the authoress immediately substituted the word ‘‘outside.’’” The instance illustrates how terms of speech perfectly intelligible an erroneous one to a child. A similar instance, but having a comical element in it, was that of a child who, on being taught the lines— i ‘*And Satan trembles when he sees ! The weakest saint upon his knees—’’ | asked the paralyzing question, ‘Why the | weakest saint sat on Satan’s knees :’ If need be that teacher should have gone down upon her knees hefore the class in "| the attitude of prayer in order to convey the idea by an object lesson. By that was the saint’s own knees that were re- ferred to, and not Satan’s. | The war upon current Sunday school | methods now waging is only an incident of the war upon educational methods in gen- | eral. . the mind with names of places, lists of | things, combinations of numbers, and ab- | stract rules, all said hy rote and without | comprehension. The carrent way pratical - { ly treats children as if they were adults. { Is ignores the ways of seeing, thinking, | and feeling and the uses of language which | are peculiar to children. It seeks to drive a specific number of traths into the child’s mind in a specific number of minutes, and to have the whole 3school—infants and adults—mwake the circuit of the whole Bible once in seven years. That method has been aptly satirized as the making of young savans and oid children, The new can be stimulated to methods of personal observation and discrimination, and thus grew without conscious and painful effort. Thus education, like beauty, may be a joy forever. It has the child go ont with an absorbent mind to take up his own accord and assimilate what is put in his way. 7 * * * * There is a growing belief that ethics should form at least an incidental if not a distinct and prominent branch of Sunday school teaching. While the religious emo- tion, which is the human response to the Divine, and the specific acts of religion continue to be chiefly cultivated as -they should, yet it will he a great gain if the sense of personal responsibility is awaken- ed. The child must discover himself, as a member of social organism, and as such not permitted selfishly to live to himself, but having dnties to others in the per- formance of which he will, although only a child, add to she weifare of the world. And this self-revelation will be made not with the imperions **Yon muss,’’ with its appendage of pains and penalties.

It abounds in principles and precepts and examples, negative—the courses to be avoided and positive-—those to be imitated. The following is one sug- gested outline : MORAL PRECEPT. How children may be caused to appre- ciate their respousibilities. How they may be induced to be accur- ate and to love truthfulness. How to meet calmly their disappeint- ments. How to meet with propriety the dica- greeable conduct of others. MORAL AOTION. How to cultivate courage and persever- ance. How to canse habits of concentration and i industry, How to inspire definite and practical ambitions. How to cause choice of honorable com- | panions. | How to make honor and bouesty their | standard of cond ues. | St. Paul believed in graded lessons. He | said, ‘‘Milk for babes, strong meat for i men.” That is the whole contention in a nutshell. The aim is to present material which can be assimilated. However ex- | cellent the matter, if it is not adapted to 1 | the present stage in the normal develop- ment of the scholars’ appreciative power, it will be as great a violation of natural order as the feeding of meat to a babe. It is now generally admitted that a serious defect in current methods is the failure to recognize thas progress is by stages. Beauties Near and Far. . A Frenchwoman who has devoted much time to the study of Americans says that she finds them delightful. Especially is she pleased with the American grandmoth- to crowd the nest. Following is a little illustration of the difference : : “You have children?’’ asked a French- for the first time. The American’s face lighted charmingly. “Four,” she answered, ‘‘and twelve grandchildren.’’ “‘Four children and twelve grandehild- ren, and yet you are in Earope?’’ “Oh, they don’t need me.”’ ‘No, perhaps not; but in your place I should need them.”’ “But why?’ visible shock. write to ny children. have done. My letter leaves on Wednes- day. of them. I have excellent health. I want to see.”’ ‘What things?’’ “Sweden and Norway first. I shall go there this summer. [I visited Japan in the chrysanthemum season. I must return for the cherry blooms.” “Oh!” The Frenchwowman’s face was interesting to see. A woman of fifty-five, the grand- mother of twelve children, was talkiog about returning to Japan to see the cherries bloom. Such a thing was unheard of in her experience. grets. Yeast Used by Ancients. The yeast employed by the ancients in making bread was probably of the same kind as the Israelities of the days of the great Pharaoh the oppressor used, calling it ‘‘leaven.”” This was what is known nowdays as a wild yeast, its germs or spores being afloat everywhere in the air. A lot of dough was preserved ous of each batch prepared for the ovens, and when this was added to the next dough the yeast contained in it quickly spread through the whole, only a little being re- quired to ‘‘leaven the whole lump.”” But when the people of Israel were wandering in the wilderness they did not always bave yeast handy. and so were obliged to eat unlavened br ead. : The best examples of old Roman bread have been found at Pompell, a town that was destroyed by an eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 A.
