Excerpt from Bible Readings for SchoolsIt is, of course, not the mission of the public school to teach the creed or the doctrines of any religious denomination. That is the province of the home, the church, and the Sabbath School. In making this collection of Bible readings, the aim has been to bring together selections that appeal strongly to the moral nature of the child. In modern education it has become proverbial to say that the perpetuity and prosperity of the state depend upon the intelligence and virtue of the people. Fidelity to duty lies at the basis of good government and is essential to the welfare of society and the happiness of the individual. The still small voice (1 Kings xix. 12) must be obeyed, if, in the end, it is not to become an avenging fury. In fitting pupils for private and public life, it is necessary to quicken the conscience, to develop the sense of duty and obligation, and to impart clear ideas of right and wrong. The faithful teacher, therefore, welcomes everything help ful in training the moral nature of the pupil.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
