Excerpt from Training the Devotional Life The Sunday school has begun to share in this better understanding of the aims and methods of education. Religion too may be best taught by practising it. To instruction, therefore, the Sunday school has added worship and service as essential elements of its educational program. This is not to imply a relative neglect of the intellectual side of its work. The Sunday school of today should afford more thorough instruction than the ungraded school of a generation ago. But Its program is more complete. It provides for expression as well as for impression. It seeks definitely and systematically to develop within its pupils the active attitudes and habits of Christian living and Christian worship. This book deals with the elementary principles of Chris tian worship, and undertakes to set forth some of the methods whereby Children may be trained in such worship, to the upbuilding of their devotional life. It is addressed primarily to Sunday-school teachers, and aims to help them prepare themselves for this aspect of their work. But, just because training in Christian worship is peculiarly a matter in which home and church must unite with the school, it addresses itself quite as directly to parents and to pastors. In no phase of religious education is there more need and larger Opportunity for team - work than in this.
