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.
