Excerpt from The Intermediate Worker and His Work
As education is becoming the dominant interest in society, religious education is coming to its own in the Church. Her Own children are at once her first responsibility and her only hope. She can not lose these and win anything. If she saves these she can save the world.
The new life in the modern Sunday-school is the ex pression of this deepening conviction. We are coming to see that no sacrifice is too deep and no expense too great for the winning of our youth to Christ and building them up in Christ. Their responsiveness to skillful training is a moral wonder. With the decline of the feeling of hopeless ness engendered by an over - estimate of heredity, there has come into our work a new confidence based upon the teach ings of science as to the priority of environment. Oppen heim says, The human being, in the first part of his exist ence, is much more unformed than is generally thought. The determining factors are not as parents usually con sider them. He adds that the effects of heredity are not settled facts, but that the qualities of goodness and virtue are purely functional, the result of friction, social inter action, environment. This means that by supplying the right environing influences we may win and hold all the children we desire.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book guides Sunday school teachers on how to teach and connect with children between the ages of 13 and 16, known as the intermediate grade. Religious education is a serious responsibility and opportunity for churches to strengthen the spiritual foundation of their young people. The author stresses the profound changes young people are going through at this time of life, and the need for teachers to understand their changing physical, mental, and spiritual needs as they transition from childhood to young adulthood. As such, there are significant differences between children in this age group and those who are younger or older, which makes it important to treat intermediate students distinctly. Child psychology has grown significantly in recent years and the author draws on experts to help teachers understand how best to apply these research-based principles to the teaching of their students. This book provides an overview of how to organize and equip an intermediate department within a Sunday school, with insights into how best to help each individual child and teenager flourish in their faith.
