the School from its inception until
now, have been the grouping of teach
ers and scholars in classes, the social
study of the word of God and the pur
suit of religious knowledge by the meth
od of questions and answers. Our
Saviour and His disciples prosecuted
the work of teaching in this way as
z well as of preaching. One form of
the Great Commission enjoins upon
Christ’s Church to make scholars of
all who are brought under its control.
And the prominence to the cat-e-chist
“or the questioning of teachers, and to
the cat-e chu-mens ”or the questioned
and answering scholars, in the early
Church, is in accordance with the re
quirements of the great commission.
And so it has been, to a greater, or less
er degree, from the times of Abraham
and M,oses to our time that the Church
School has had a place in the plan of
God, and God’s people have not ignored
that fact in tha divine economy,
In giving to the face a Sunday Schoo),
God did not by any means, abrogate
the family; not did he diminish aught
of Us sphere aid Jmwcr. All of the re
sponsibility which before rested on the
parents for their children rests on them
still, together with the added responsi
bility of bringing Jheir children also
under the influence of the Church
School. No parent can throw parental
responsibility on the Sunday School,
nor can the parent claim to get along
properly in training their children re
ligiously without the aid of God’s added
agency, the Sunday School.
Not the family without the School,
nor yet the School without the family,
but the Family and the school, must be
looked at by Parents who would train
their children in Gods service accord
ing to God’s method. Still later, in
God’s plan in the days of John the Bap
tist, the Pulpit in its permanent and
distinctive its crowning work
for the welfare of the race.
For prior to that period the mission
of the preacher, or prophet had been
occasional rather than a cantinous one.
And now the family, the school, and
the pulpit are the three agencies of the
Church not as is so commonly said the
family, the school, and the Church but
the family, the school, and the pulpit,
for the Church includes these three as
its seperate and co-working agencies for
the rearing and training of the young
