Teaching Sunday School is a sacred responsibility, and Sunday School superintendents and teachers in Churches of Christ, Scientist, do well to follow faithfully the system set down in the Manual of The Mother Church by Mrs. Eddy. What an expansive privilege they have! There are virtually no limits to the teaching possibilities to be found in the Scriptures—including from the start the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes— and in questions and answers based on the Lesson-Sermons (found in the Christian Science Quarterly).
The teacher who welcomes this inspiring challenge will find countless opportunities to practice these guidelines in his own life. Instruction that results from such living is bound to make a difference in the life of the pupil; he begins to understand the truths he's taught through example as well as precept. And the class can be as enjoyable as a game played on the school ground, the football field, or the tennis court.
Teaching that is rooted in the living of the teacher continues developing in the consciousness of the pupil. In spiritual fact, as Mrs. Eddy writes in the textbook, Science and Health, "God expresses in man the infinite idea forever developing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from a boundless basis."Science and Health, p. 258.
