Spiritual Education and Our Sunday School

HAROLD C. LEWIS

Virtually everyone realizes the importance of right education to prepare one to take his place in the world of today. The person who lacks vocational or professional training may find it difficult to earn a livelihood, while he who is lacking in culture is at a disadvantage in society. But does the world always realize the importance of education in spiritual things?

The greatest Teacher of all time, Christ Jesus, said (John 8; 31, 32), "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed: and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Material systems have not succeeded in showing mortals how to overcome sin, disease, and death, but the truth brought to mankind by Christ Jesus, rightly understood, will make us free from all evil. This truth, lost to the world during the dark ages, was again brought to light by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and given to the world in Christian Science. The understanding of this truth, which reveals God's allness and the nothingness of all that is unlike Him, constitutes true spiritual education.

One of the avenues through which young people may get true spiritual education is the Christian Science Sunday School. How important that we should help our children to see the immense value of this true education in order that they may not be misled into neglecting it for things of lesser importance!
