True Education is...

True education means more than the perusal of a certain course of study. It means more than a preparation for the life that now is. It has to do with the whole being, and with the whole period of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental,and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come.

Teaching the Child to Pray

"A mother who holds a young child on her lap and prays aloud teaches the child to pray. The child sees her reverence, her closed eyes, her beseeching and sincere attitude. He or she notes that Mother speaks in ordinary language to her friend, God. A father who prays aloud before meals shows his family his faith in God. It may be that a four- or five-year-old will not understand all the words in family prayers, but much will be learned about the procedure of prayer."
