slightly encouraged in the
slight progress he has shown in

Man has a hunger for knowledge. It first shows
itself in childhood and prompts incessant ques
tions and exasperating experiments.
But it continues all through life. Recently, on
discovering something you didn’t know, you mur
mured to yourself, “Gotta look that up . . .”
Upon this basic hunger for knowledge, the
Church’s program of religious education is
planned. That’s why we urge parents to foster a
Christian atmosphere in the home. It is also why
the Church provides religious instruction long
before secular education begins. And it accounts
for continuing emphasis on youtl} and young adult
activities in most congregations.
We adults haven’t outgrown the hunger for
knowledge. Most of us recognize that our scientific
and material progress points up the crucial need
for spiritual standards to believe in. God has vital
truth to impart to men. The place to look it up
is your church.
