Cor, 1:30; Col. 2:2, 3. Whose spirit giveth man under-
standing? o.
tJ NOTE: "Our ideas of education take too narrow and
too low a range. There is need of a bro der sco e, a
hjgher ai~. True education means more an e pUl'sual
of a certaIn course .of study. It means more than a pre-
paration for the life that now is. It has to do with the
. whole being, and with the whole period of '-existence os-
sible to man. It is the harmonious de elo ment of e
p YSlCal, t e mental, an e SpIrI ua owers; It pre-
ares e stu~r the joy 0 s I e In . orId, and
for the higher joy of wider serVIce In wor to come,"
-Ed., p. 13.

tion of man? Gen. 2 :8. Who ,stood in the centre of
this system? Gen. 1 :26-28; Luke 3 :38.
NOTE: "The system of education established. in Eden
centered in the family. Adam was 'the Son of God,' and
it was from their Father that the children of the Highest
received instruction. Theirs, in the truest sense, was a
family school." Ed., p. 33.
4. What knowledge is found in true education? John

tion? 1 Tim. 2 :4.

Source of true edueatio~? Jer, 2:13.

tion? Luke 9:56; John 8:15, 16; 3:16.

those whom He was seeking to bless and to save. In
every human being, however fallen, He beheld a son of
God. one who might be ·restored to the privilege of His
divine relationship. . . . Looking upon men in their suffer-
ing and degradation, Christ perceived ground for hope
where appeared only despair and ruin." Ed" p. 79

Lesson No.2-Sabbath, January 12, 1946
THE BIBLE AS AN EDUCATOR
QUESTIONS
1. What position should the educator take toward the
word of God? Josh. 1:8; Deut. 6:6.
NOTE: "Every part of the Bible is given by inspira-
tion of God, and is profitable. The Old Testament no less
than the New should receive attention. As we study the
Old Testament, we shall find living springs bubbling up
where the careless reader discerns only a desert. The
book of revelation, in connection with the book of Daniel,
especially demands study. Let every God-fearing teacher
consider how most clearly to comprehend and to present
the gospel that our Saviour came in person to make known
to His servant John." Ed., p. 191.
2. Whom should parents espeCially instruct in the word
of God? De~t. 6:7.
NOTE: "Let the yQuth, then, be taught to give close
study to the word of God. Received into the soul, it will
prove a mighty barricade against temptation." Ed., p.
190.
;I. What position should be taken toward Bible truths 1
John 7;38; Rev. 1:3; Provo 7:1-3. .
b
NOTE: "The great motive powers of the soul are
faith, hope, ~nd love; and it is to these that Bible study,
rightly pursued, appeals. The outward beauty of the
Bible, the beauty of imagery and expression, is but the
setting, as it were, for its real treasure':-the beauty of
holiness. I'n its record of the men who walked with God,
we may catch glimpses of His glory." Ed., p. 192.
4. What is the best method of searching the Bible? Isa.
34:16.
NOTE: "In daily study the verse-by-verse method is
often most helpful. Let the student take one verse, and
concentrate the mind on ll.'3certaining the thought that
God has put into that verse for him, and then dwell upon
the thought until it becomes his own. One passage thus
studied until its significance is clear, is of more value than
the perusal of many chapters with no definite purpose in
view, and no positive instruction gained." Ed., P. 189.
5. What means may be employed to impress Bible truths
more deeply home upon our hearts?" Hab. 2:2.
NOTE: "The use of object-lessons, blackboards, maps.
and pictures, will be an aid in explaining these lessons,
and fixing them in the memory. Parents and teachers
should constantly seek for improved methods. The teach-
ing of the Bible should have our freshest thought, our
best methods, and our most earnest effort." "Ed., P. 186.
6. On what occasion especially should the Bible be read?
PS, 63:2-7. What time should be the most blessed in
the family? Who should take part in reading the
Bible a.t family worship?
ANSWER: "The 'hours of morning and evening wor·
ship should be the sweetest and most helpful of the day.
Let it be understood that into these hours no troubled,
unkind thoughts are to intrude; that parents and children
assemble to meet with Jesus, and to invite into the home
the presence of holy angels. Let the services be brief
and full of life, adapted to the occll.'3ion, and varied from
time to time. Let all join in the Bible reading, and learn
and often repeat God's law. It will add to the interest of
the children if they are sometimes permitted to select the
reading. Question them upon it, and let them ask ques-
tions. Mention anything that will serve to iHustrate its
meaning. When the service is not thus made too lengthy,
let the little ones take part in pl'ayer, and let them joi.n in
song, if it be but a single .verse." Ed" p. 186.
7. What hoelp is received through the word of GOO when
it is in our heart? Ps. 119:11; 17 :4, 5.
8. On what path does the word of God lead usf Matt.
7:14; ps. 119:105. '
9. What should we earnestly pray to the Lord who is
the foundation of all true educati'on? Ps. 86:11.

time, to read I almost any other book. But the word that
