Excerpt from The Use of the Story in Religious EducationCouldn't I please go downstairs and speak to mother? I want to tell her something. But mother said you could not come down tonight, I replied. I just want to come for a minute. Please ask mother to let me come for a minute. So I asked the mother, and her reply made me fear for the child, Yes, he can come for a minute, but it won't do a bit of good to ask me to stay. He has to be punished, and her face was little like that of the child.Then down he came, streaks of dirt on the little red face. Straight to his mother he went and look ing into her face, he said, She told me a nice story, and I am going to have a name like his. I am going to be Jimmie Standby too. And he went upstairs like a man.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Book Religious education refers to the teaching of a particular religion and its key characteristics, such as: beliefs, doctrines, rituals, customs, rites, and roles of the faithful. In Western and secular culture, religious education implies a type of education which is largely separate from the dominant secular curriculum, and is undertaken on a voluntary basis by believers. In societies that adhere to religious law, "religious education" is an inherent part of the core curriculum, which teaches doctrines that define social customs as laws, with violations of them being treated as crimes, or at least misdemeanors requiring punitive action.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Tis evening time and story hour the best time of the day. The little girl is waiting for the father to settle himself so that she can begin the story. u Once upon a time, long, long ago, she begins, a dear little baby came to live in a home that was far away across the big sea. The father smiles and pats her head as the story runs along, and when it is done he whispers, That was well done, daughter. Do you know that I think perhaps some day you may tell stories to boys and girls as father does now. Then, because she had been able to tell the story that he had told her the day before, he would tell her a new story perhaps two, one from the Bible and one from fairy land or the time when daddy was a little boy. When the twilight had at last faded, the child was far away in storyland. Little did my father realize what a gift he was giving to me, but as the years have gone by I have realized it more and more, for in my twenty years of work with young people it has been my greatest asset. As I have told stories to the boys and girls, I have learned to know their needs, their dreams, their longings and their weaknesses which needed help from me.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
