Bible Nature Studies / Cady, Marion Ernest / (HB/1901-1901/B/USED)

The world is full of books on science and nature; and this book would not have appeared had it not been that the author saw a place for it which is not occupied by other works that have been written. The prime object of this work is not to fill the mind with a multitude of facts found in nature, but rather to fill the heart with nature's wonderful lessons which the Creator has written in earth, sea, and sky. The tendency of the study and investigation of science in these modern times is to lead the minds of students away from the Creator, and from the contemplation of His power, wisdom, and love, so plainly manifested in all His works. Now, as in olden times, the inclination is "to worship and serve the creature more than the Creator."
The study of nature, carried on in the right way, is a great factor in character building. It will lead the children and youth to love and reverence their Maker, instead of growing up with their minds filled with infidelity and skepticism. Creation and revelation have one and the same God; therefore the study of the Bible and nature should go hand in hand. These are the two great books which the child of God will study throughout eternity. Why not have the children study them diligently now?
Read carefully the introduction, and study thoroughly the introductory lessons before taking up the lessons in chapter one. If this is done, the plan and scope of the book will be
better understood, and more satisfactory results obtained.
It is not expected that this book will be placed in the hands of the children before they reach the sixth grade. But the parent or teacher will use it as a guide in teaching Nature
study in the lower grades. Children who can read well can use it as a text-book to good advantage. The "Nature Study Note-book," with over 200 drawings, will greatly aid the
teacher, and serve to increase the interest of the children by stimulating them to faithfulness and neatness in the matter of keeping notes of all their work.
"Parts of His Ways," which is now in preparation, is calculated for a general reading book, rather than a text-book for school use. It will be a great aid to parents and teachers, as the language is much simplified, and the different phases of nature are fully illustrated.
It is hoped that this series of Bible-Nature studies may be helpful to both parents and teachers in the responsible work of training and educating the children for this world and the world to come.—M. E. C.
