Tae said: Behold, the Uzians have schools, and they teach their young by and in books.<br \/>\nBut when their youth are thus educated, as to their brains, their hands are useless for<br \/>\nproviding food and clothes and habitations.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Education, in regard to corporeal things, must embrace the manipulation and handling<br \/>\nof corporeal things for useful purposes. And, foremost of all problems is: How to provide<br \/>\nthe necessities of life with one&#8217;s own hands, that he may not be rendered a dependent on<br \/>\nothers.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. This shall be one of the first problems ye shall make our infants understand.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Young children not only ask questions, but they desire illustrations, with the privilege<br \/>\nof trying to do something themselves.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Their questions must be answered by their nurses and their teachers.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. It is not sufficient unto Jehovih&#8217;s requirements of you, that ye put off His children with<br \/>\nelusive answers, or with incomprehensible explanations.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Education must be accompanied with practice. As, for example, ye show the child<br \/>\ncertain seeds, explaining what will grow therefrom; ye shall plant and illustrate.<br \/>\nAnd when the vine hath come up out of the ground, ye shall not only illustrate its<br \/>\ncorporeality, but shall display the life therein as a manifestation of Jehovih&#8217;s Presence.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. To simply teach the child the botany, without reference to the spirituality that<br \/>\nunderlieth all living things, would have little effect in turning the child&#8217;s thoughts to its<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">own life and growth in spirit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. At an early age, these infants shall be thus put to work in gratification of their own<br \/>\ndesires to do something; and their work shall be educational, corporeally and spiritually.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And when they are large enough to handle tools, they shall be permitted to work at<br \/>\ntrades, or in art; and full and sufficient explanations shall be given to all their questions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. And this shall come to pass in Shalam; without tiresome study and without tiresome<br \/>\nlabor, these infants, at fourteen years, shall be wiser and better learned than Uzians at<br \/>\ntwenty.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. For they shall not be limited to one trade each, or one occupation each; but, to a great<br \/>\nextent, all of them shall know all trades and occupations.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. For botany, they shall have a garden; and for astronomy, an observatory; for<br \/>\nchemistry, a laboratory; for clothing, a factory; for horticulture and agriculture, they shall<br \/>\nhave orchards, fields and gardens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Such, then, shall be the method of teaching our infants.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Now, as to Jehovih and His creations, in magnitude and perfection, they shall be ever<br \/>\nkept before the child&#8217;s mind, to exalt its gratitude and adoration, and to make it rejoice in<br \/>\nits own life.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. For there is not, in all the philosophies in all the world, wherewith to restrain the<br \/>\nprivate life and habits from secret vice, save through belief in Jehovih&#8217;s eye being ever<br \/>\nupon us.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Nevertheless, a child that is raised up without learning angel communion is but half<br \/>\nraised.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. By the actual presence of angels, and by children seeing them and conversing with<br \/>\nthem, the proximity of heaven to earth becometh firmly established in the child&#8217;s mind,<br \/>\nand it beholdeth the fitness of one world to the other.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. For which education the infants shall, at an early age, be made familiar with the<br \/>\nunseen world, by training in the crescent.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. And their teachers shall try them to discover su&#8217;is and sar&#8217;gis in them; and, finding<br \/>\nthese talents, shall cultivate them in righteousness and wisdom for the glory of the Father.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. And it shall come to pass that many of these infants shall not only see without their<br \/>\ncorporeal eyes, and hear without their corporeal ears, but they will attain to adeptism.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. And the angels of heaven shall descend amongst us, appearing so as to be seen, and<br \/>\ntalking with us so as to be heard.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. And, because of such exceeding great light amongst us, no one shall practice<br \/>\ndeception; for the minds and souls of all shall become as an open book.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. These are the promises Jehovih hath given us; by the signs of the times they are<br \/>\nproven probable. Through faith in Him we shall make these things true.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. In faith He will bless you all.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Independence Day Book of Jehovih&#8217;s Kingdom on Earth Chapter 9 1.
