-Jigion' fs Only Human,- Not
Divine, Urges Revv Fred B.
Fisher Before Meihodist
Parliament.
The modern way pf teaching a Sunday
school class,, with emphasis .on the
iin id's understanding of the lesson
at.heK than its acceptance in unques
ilnnliisr faith, was discussed before-an
MiiiK'nce of absorbingly : Interested
young folk from the various Methodist
Kpiscopal. churches tf the 'ty this
morning by the Rev. Fred B. fisher of
New York .city, i '; ....-),.." .
Ilia address was one of -the feature
of today's session, the third and -con-.rlnding
one of the Methodist Episcopal
li.itliament ;that has been in confer
ence In the Taylor street church, since
Sunday. . . ? , . : . ,'
. "It must not he forgotten that the
Bible is a great piece of literature, ftafcl
Jiev. Mr. fisher,-in part,? "We've looked
at- the Bible as a sacred hook, for so
ions tnat many people nareosr ?nt,er
; est in it.' And really, we too often -force
little children up to study things that
they are not ready to study, t : .
" "We- have never studied JbLJusLM
vre ought to study it out, how
to teaclk the Bible to young children.
"I, remember how as a boy. I used
to uuzzle over the Bible stories tellinc
imjw uws -tiyP'v Bit'tfc wit wio uuuo tuim.
1.. looked' at; it from my boy's purely
oecidertal knowledge- and viewpoint, and
iif .courts I supposed ail roofs"" were
sloping roofs like ours; Why, I imag
ing for a long time that they had a
row of railroad Koikes driven in the
roof and a board propped up by them so
these men could go on.thelhusetops
'and sleep, though why they ever wanted
to i!o that T couldn't for the life of me
tell.
A Thoughtless Answer.. - '
"One hoy told the teacher .he didn't
see how In. the world they could sleep
on the iTousrtops.- The. teacher didn't
make any effort to, explalh, but. Just
.-u(.l- Vmi r,ntnTf rtuoutlnn. tin word
of 0d ' ' '
"Now why -In-. thB" world dldu't she
explain, that they had flat roofs .In the
Orient, and that It was the custom for
lhe ptypple to sleep on them? Maktiig
a child believe that it was the word of
Jod and mustn't under any circum
stances be questioned as-such, has been
responsible for. some, crude conceptions,
in the minds of children of biblical, per
hods and things.
"I tan remember, also how when we
had n-temnerance -lesson,- we would
stretch scripture out of all proportion
in order to derive temperance moral
out of it We used to have the idea!.
that every verse must have some, bear
ing on it., u X-CvTy '-' ' -'
"One of the greatest progressive
moves the church has ever made, inj
my opinion, Is the adoption of graded.
Sui daysehool lessons.: wnlch-ensbte the
little children to be taught things they
can understand, the older children wha.
thev can understand-and so forth' ,
"f we only rem.e-inbered that the Bible
Is an Cri.ental book, rather fhai an oc
ciuei til one, then w1 toou Id ; open up' the
word of Gcd to "them in a wonderful
way, ' Every child -is '.oriental I "mean
that a child naturally Jeans to mysticism
and wants to learn by faith.
"Sometimes I'm sorry all the books in
the Bible are bound, together Instead of
