Jehovih said: Let the order of the labor of My little ones be increasive; one half hour a<br \/>\nday at six years of age, one hour a day at eight years, two hours at twelve, and three hours<br \/>\nat fourteen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2.

And it was so; all avocations were as a change from one amusement to another. And so<br \/>\ngreat were their capacities to comprehend all things, that, at the age of fourteen, they were<br \/>\nmasters of all trades and occupations.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. And, of the first thousand children that reached fourteen years, scarce one could be<br \/>\nfound but was master of horticulture, agriculture (with botany), engineering, surveying,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">landscape gardening, architecture and general mechanics. They knew how to make shoes,<br \/>\nhats, clothing (also spinning and weaving cloth), the mathematics of musical instruments;<br \/>\nand they were musicians as well.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Tae said: Though they lacked the age and strength of full-grown men and women, yet<br \/>\nthey had attained to practical knowledge, the like of which had never been known to any<br \/>\nadults in all the world. Scarcely anything was known that they could not make, or<br \/>\ndescribe how it should be made.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. And yet, in all things, scarcely any part had been taught them by means of books, but<br \/>\nby practical observations and by illustrations and actual measurements.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Jehovih hath said: By My spirit, I move infants to ask questions; answer ye them, and,<br \/>\nbehold, they shall become as Gods. For this is a door I opened with Mine own hand;<br \/>\nwhoso answereth them not, shutteth the door against knowledge, and ill-useth My loves.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Tae said: With all that our children knew, behold, we still rebuked ourselves because<br \/>\nwe had not answered half the questions they had asked us.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Now, from twelve to fourteen, they were initiated into the religious rites and<br \/>\nceremonies of the ancients, after the manner as set forth in the Book of Saphah,<br \/>\nwith explanations of signs, symbols, emblems and the sacred implements; with the<br \/>\nranks of Gods and Lords and Saviors and archangels; with the divisions of the higher and<br \/>\nlower heavens; with the first, second and third resurrections in atmospherea, as set forth<br \/>\nin the Book of Ben; and with the cosmogony of the corporeal worlds; the position and<br \/>\ntravel of the solar phalanx; with actual observations of the stars, planets and satellites,<br \/>\nwith their times and seasons, as set forth in the Book of Cosmogony and Prophecy.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And they could point out the constellations; describe the distances and revolutions<br \/>\nof planets; explain the zodiac, the polar lights, and the use of telescopes and the<br \/>\nspectrum. And, yet, not one of them had been tired or wearied in learning all these things.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Jehovih&#8217;s Kingdom on Earth Chapter 16 1.
