Excerpt from Religious Education in the Family When the Constructive Studies were first projected the church was almost without textbooks in religious education. The Sunday school had always concerned itself with a discussion of the passages of the Bible, but had learned little about proper methods of ascertaining the significance of that literature. The most pressing need, therefore, at the beginning of the new movement in religious education was the preparation of textbooks that should direct students to the correct method of the examination of the biblical material and consideration of its meaning, in order that they might construct for themselves the life, the experience, the teaching therein contained. These Constructive Studies in the Bible have now attained a practically complete curriculum, and the series will continue to be enlarged and improved. But a thorough system of religious education will comprise in addition to a biblical curriculum many other studies. And these also ought to be constructive. That is to say, students in religion and morals should be observers, investigators, using textbooks as guides that may help them to build up right attitudes, appreciations, understandings.

Excerpt from Religious Education: A Comprehensive Text Book This Text Book is the outcome of a wide demand for a complete Handbook, covering fully all phases of Religious Education in the Church. There was no such book hitherto extant. It took a library of some thirty or more volumes to cover the necessary field, as laid down in the Standard Course for teacher-training set forth by the Joint Commission on Sunday Schools. Such reading was overwhelm ing, unnecessary (for often but a few pages or precepts of a writer applied directly to Religious Education), and costly in the purchase of so many volumes. The author prepared a smaller book, Sunday School Teaching, a compilation of authorities covering 175 pages, in 1903, which has gone through three large editions in five years, being the Guide Book for the training of several thousand Sunday School teachers, of all religious bodies. Even day school educators found it suggestive and illuminat ing. It will be continued in the market. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Religious Education of an American Citizen The purpose of this series of loosely con nected chapters is to call attention to some of the influences which direct, and some of the qualities which mark, the religious education of an American citizen. The normal life of an American proceeds from childhood to youth and from youth to manhood, through the shift ing environments of home, school, college, busi ness, citizenship and Church; and at each step he is met by conditions and demands which may either promote or obstruct his religious educa tion. What, then, are the circumstances which are likely to be most favorable for a healthy minded and progressive religious experience? What can be done by parents, teachers, em ployers, statesmen, or pastors, to reinforce American citizenship with a rational religious life? What are the special obstacles which American civilization offers to religious prog ress? What are the traits of the American character on which teachers of religion may most confidently depend?

Excerpt from The Problem of Religious Education In the foregoing an attempt has been made to state the problem of religious education and to indicate the solution. The problem is acknowledged to be a complex and difficult one, but it is really the most important that confronts all those who have the real, the per manent interests of our country at heart. The happiness of individ nais taken separately and variously grouped depends upon the inculca tion, of right principles and the practice of those principles. For their maintenance the home, the church and the state should each do its part in its own sphere and each could do much more than it is now doing. When every Christian influence is brought to bear on the problem it will be solved, and not till then. May prejudices be sup pressed, and minor differences ignored, so that Canadians may make a general advance towards the attainment of the ideal in this momentous matter. The solution lies in the will, and in the good-will of the people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from An Integrated Program of Religious Education People divide on the question whether religion can be taught and what is meant by teaching religion. Our own thought in all that follows construes religion as a way of life and Religious Education as the process by which we teach boys and girls, men and women, to live with and for each other and unto God. We do not hesitate, therefore, to record here unequivocally our conviction that religion can be taught. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Child's Book of Religion: For Sunday Schools and Homes A few 'words are necessary to explain the purpose of this little book, and the way in which it may be used to the best advantage. The author has thought it wiser to make a collection of materials for worship and instruction than to arrange a formal series of services or lessons that might interfere with freedom of selection and combination on the part of the teacher or superintendent.
