GUEST EDITORIAL
By REV. EDWIN CUTTING, Minister
of Heppner United Methodist. Church
"IS RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
MEETING TODAY'S CHALLENGE?
Comenius, an educator and scholar in ancient Rome, was
regarded as a great teacher. He wrote a book on education
In which he described the Ideal class room.
The teacher, he wrote, was to be seated on a raised piai
form at one end of the school room, while the "students
place their attention like a wide-mouthed Jug beneath the
words of wisdom that flow from his lips."
This is no longer considered the best method of teaching
and, in spite of improved methods in teaching, the education
al systems of today are said to be failing.
Public and parochial school authorities attempt, through
use of the most up to date methods, to send out students filled
with a good knowledge so they can assume a responsible
place in society. Success depends upon the intensity of a
pupils Interest, the capability of teachers who use sound meth
ods, and good homes. ....
The high percentage of dropouts, the shriveling of ones
desire to put Into practice one's education, and the host of
"overly educated fools" are pointed to as evidence of modern
education's failure.
Religious education departments in the non-Catholic or
non-Jewish (I cannot speak of their instruction as I am not
familiar with It) American church denominations have, for
over a century, strongly tended to follow the concepts of the
public school. To pour religious subject matter into the stu
dent with the hope that he would grow up to be a good
Christian, or whatever faith his parents were, is unrealistic.
In general, however, religious education for the young
has failed. A few do make it, though, and some children
who have attended church school and Sunday worship serv
ices regularly for years alongside their parents do turn out
to be adults of wisdom and people who attempt to live the
"will of God." . ,
The drop-out rate from religious training is a scandal
and the lack of depth in religious understanding is equally
poor.
Part of this failure can be laid at the feet of the instruc
tion. Church school teachers who didn't study and plan their
lesson before class, or who were often absent, surely conveyed
to their pupils that what they were doing wasn't really very
Important.
Religious education In the Christian faith is far more
than knowing the size of Noah's Ark or being able to recite
I Corinthians 13. It is a day by day, year after year, basic
grounding in prayer, learning to know right from wrong, self
understanding, and knowledge of God, all learned under the
tutorship of good parents and the church. This type of train
ing will help prevent the ills of society and of individuals
as we see them today.
The first task of formal religious education Is to educate
the adults! And I classify an adult as primarily those per
sons between 14' and 45. Parents, instead of saying to their
children, "Hurry and get to Sunday School," should say as
they go out the door, after leaving the youngsters in the
hands of a middle-aged baby sitter, "When you get to be
18 then you can start attending church school."
What is the use of a grade school child attending church
school half a dozen times a year for a couple of years? Hard
ly any that I can think of. A little education is often worse
than none.
Harold Blake Walker writes, "What is the use of study
ing botany and knowing the secrets of plants and flowers
unless one pushes on beyond the 'flower in the crannied wall'
to its meaning in God?"
"What Is the use of studying history and mastering the
long story of humanity's struggle to be free from tyrants
and from cruel forces without seeing that God's 'truth is
marching on'?"
It requires wisdom to live successfully in our age. Tak
ing religious education seriously means to teach the young
adult first and the insights he gains will set the atmosphere
in which he rears his family. To be truly educated is to be
gin with the things that are seen and known and end by
knowing and understanding "the things that are not seen"
with the eyes.
No matter how carefully acquired, knowledge, skills, and
The Rhyming Philosopher
COMMUNICATION
"How can I make a friend?" the youngster cried,
"There's no one seems to want me though I ve tried
To be a sport and never to offend,
So tell me grandpa, please, what makes a friend?
The old man shook his head: "Plus your good looks
You get high grades and master all your books,
You play in all the games, you have good health,
But first you have to be a friend yourself!"
To be a friend." he said, "you have to share,
And never domineer, but learn to care.
Rejoice when someone else has won the race
Many a worthy man took second place!"
True love." he added, "comes in varied form,
But never cold and distant, always warm;
And friendship lends itself to richest living
Because it's based on love's unselfish giving."
The youngster sighed: "I'll learn this lesson well
And change my ways, but how will people tell?'
The old man smiled. "If you're sincere and true,
Just be yourself, and friends will come to you!"

attitudes are, they mean nothing unless they are used every
moment of our day. When we take this seriously and re
member that our children's great educational impact lies in
the home, we will have a sound philosophy of religious edu
cation. This does not imply that we toss out church school
courses for children. Instead, it means we realize what has
been the cause of failure in the past.
