“UNFIT FOR CHILDREN"
PARTS OF THE EIBLE MINISTERS OOMiVIENT LONDON. Kept. Kb Addressing the National Sunday School Union- Convention yesterday, the Rev. Harold Wilson, Methodist, said that much of the Old Testament was unsuitable, and some of it quite unlit for Sunday School children. “There is little profit in the legal regulations of Leviticus and Numbers, of the blood-soaked pages- of Joshua and Judges,” Ire declared. “The problem of Job bs beyond children’s understanding. Esther is a hymn of hate, with which tlicw should not he acquainted, and the cynicism of the Ecclesiastes must not lie allowed in a child of ardent spirits. The Song of Solomon is unfitted for children’s ears, and only the narrative portions from the major prophets and a few quotations from ihe minor prophets are- suitable.”
