day lives and grows up in a dif ferent world from that of his par ents. Visit a grade school and compare it to your Sunday school. Notice in the public school the teaching methods, the push-but ton language laboratories, teach ing machines, and the audio-visu als which are used. Then ask yourself, “ Is it any wonder that Johnny gets bored in Sunday school ?” Professional Christian educa^ tors are not blind to the chang ing methodology of our day, and during the forthcoming decade many of these presently “ out-of sight” methods will be brought into the reach of the average Sun day school. Let’s come to our senses! We have no alternative but to up grade methods and technology, or face the consequences of contend ing for methods that have long since outworn their effectiveness. In Bismarck’s Recollections the story is told of a guard who paced back and forth at a certain spot on sentry duty. Prince Bismarck asked the guard what was he do ing there, and the soldier replied, “ I do not know, Sir.” Bismarck said, “ Find out.” The soldier started investigating. He discov ered that one day Catherine the Great had planted a rosebush on that spot. Eventually people tram pled the rose and it died. Then she planted another one, and this time ordered a guard stationed by the rose so no one would trample the second to death. Years passed, and in time the bush died a nat ural death. Yet year after year a sentry was posted, guarding a bush that had long-since died a natural death. God forbid that we should guard our methodology which must constantly change with the tenacity we must have in guard ing the message which is change less. Let’s stop standing sentry duty over dead methods! The choice is clear: change or chaos. It is either/or, but not both. _
