URGES BIBLE READING
“Parents who read aloud to their children from the Bible and from English literature use the best method to help their children gain appreciation of the English sentence and literature.” That quote was from a lecture by Mrs. Arbuthnot, an outstanding scholar and writer in the field of children’s books. Read aloud to your children. Not only would the children gain appreciation of literature, they would also gain in knowledge of the moral laws of our civilization.
Psalm 121 and Ecclesiastes 12 are beautiful selections for a start.—Local Library Board.
