THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUNDAY SCHOOL TAKES UP THE CHALLENGE

NANCY L. HOLDER

What can we do to forearm and equip the young people of the twentieth century to face squarely and meet fearlessly its problems, its challenges? This question, knocking insistently at the door of consciousness, demands a positive answer. Our responsibility in the matter is clear and inescapable. Moses, in Deuteronomy, stated it thus (6:6—9): "These words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates."

What are these words whose total building into the structure of human living is thus demanded, and is there a voice that can proclaim them plainly enough, with sufficient authority and inspiration to be heard above the insistent mesmeric clamor of the sensualism and materialism of the age? It is right here that the Christian Science Sunday School takes up the challenge.

It was to the law of God, revealed to him on Sinai's summit, that Moses referred, and God has spoken anew to this age through the exalted thought of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Loud and clear His voice rings through the inspired Rules and By-Laws of her Manual of The Mother Church, revealing for all eternity the divine fulfillment of the union of the law and the gospel—the ultimate and perfect form of government.
