“Prizes For Parents” Would Be Good Slogan
" 'Brizes for parents' would be a goOd slogan for the work of th§ Bunday schools in 1949," said the "RSv. A. Salmond at the service of dedication of workers ahiong the young on Sunday ih St. Ahdrew's Presbyterian Church. "The co-i operdtion of the Christian home is essential if the teaching work of° th6 Church is to be truly efficient." Such co-op6ration meant that parents should discipfine themselv- , es tq handle the, Bible with thei'r children, ahd should be seated alongside their children in the ser-j vices of public worship. To send a child to Sunday school and never seek to worship with him was like giving a ehild sixpence a day to buy his lunch in*town and so fail to glve him a place at the table of the family. i -In the Sunday sehdol the Church sought to nurture children ih their Christian faith, and to evangelise those whose homes were dehying them a share -in their true spiritual; heritage. "Jesus Himself was d. teachef," said Mr. Salmond, "and He believed in teaching." Christians today had something to teach. The.y ought not to be babkwatd in taking up with" confidehce and vigbur their teaching tasks, he concluded.
