DI' W. Kitto Rev, D, Murphy X A08 BODUS Th-M-, D.D. BQAOQ Scpnl-lo IT'S A GREAT TIME TG BE A CHRISTIAN TEACHER It's a great time to be a Christian teacher because there is a hunger in the souls of people, For a time their hope was in science. Everyone was overawed by its technological achievements. Surely men who could release the atom's power had all the answers. Psychology, and especially psychiatry, would unravel the tangled skeins of men's minds. These disciplines are playing an important role. But the greatest psychiatrists such as Carl lung point out that the basic problems are religious. The teacher, through his own Christian personality, can help supply the answers. A new understanding of the church is the second reason for saying it's a great time to be a Christian teacher. The church is you. It is not a Sunday institution, but the whole people of God at work wherever they are, You as a teacher in the classroom are the church. Your work in religious education will not be limited to one or two half-hour periods a week. It will include every minute you are with your class. What you are outside your class will also be a part of it. A third reason should be mentioned. These are stringent days for the Christian faith. But the church is rising to meet the challenge. On the negative side, it points to the poverty of atheism. Positively, it seeks to present the eternal truths of the Gospel in a way the twentieth century cannot ignore. It speaks of God's judgment as seen, for example, in war. But it speaks also of saving love. Our age is coming to see - the hard way -- that only God's love revealed in Jesus Christ will do. There is no need to be ashamed of this Gospel. It is the only thing that makes sense. You as a teacher can be an evangelist as you take your place in school and community. Your word and example will spread the Good News. You will encourage a rising generation to live at its best. lt's a great time to be a Christian teacher!
