Regular readers of the Journal will be familiar with the special attention we've been giving to the Christian Science Sunday School over several months. In this issue we're happy to share, among other items, more excerpts from letters that have come in from Sunday School teachers and superintendents.
To begin, we've included a short letter that was written in the early days of the Christian Science movement. It offers valuable counsel to any student of Christian Science who 's involved with the spiritual education of young people. We hope you'll enjoy discovering how a theme in this letter— "adapt what you teach"— weaves its way through the other items in this feature.
I'm constantly striving to help my students see there's no problem on earth today that isn't addressed in the Bible— from violence, to environmental crisis, divorce, adultery, epidemics, and life-threatening diseases. Don't be surprised if students bring these subjects up. Don't show shock. Don't try to change the subject! They want to know—they need to know. Handle their questions with poise, calm, humility. Look the issue up; pray about it. Ask them to join you in prayer on it for the sake of all mankind.
