Our Parish Church Twenty Addresses to Children on Great Truths of the Christian Faith , by the , M.A. Skeffington Und Son , Piccadilly 1901 ,
Preface.
IN the twenty little sermons, or addresses to children, in this book, I have sought to teach doctrine, and teach it very definitely. A Clergyman, who had been brought up in Scottish Calvinism, said once to me, `We were reared under a clear, sharp-cut system, that seized on our intellects. Now I am in the Church of England, I find myself without a system. I know that the Calvinistic doctrine is false, but I can no more work it out of me than Augustine could work himself clear of his Manicheeism. That also was a logical system. Calvinism is in me, poisoning my blood, like an iron barb, that festers, but can never be extracted.` The hold Calvinism exercises over men is due to this-that it is a definite logical creed. And the hold Roman Catholicism exercises is due also, in great part, to the fact that it is a system, and this system is impressed very emphatically and distinctly on children`s minds, whilst forming. Those who are growing up about us grow up without any definite dogmatic teaching, and so their souls lay hold of nothing. Roses if expected to flourish must be given something solid which their roots can grasp. So with children`s minds. We give them plenty of moral teaching, but very little plain, elementary Catholic truth, put before them in such a way, that they can grasp and stay themselves by it. In after life they want this; and they are blown about with every wind of doctrine, and blown over by the blast of unbelief, because their mental rootlets have hold of nothing solid, but run in the excellent rich mould of morality. Morality feeds the roots, but doctrine holds them firm. I would urge those who make use of this little book to catechise again and again on the subjects of these discourses, till the children have assimilated the teaching.
