A Word for CHRISTIAN PARENTS:
This catechism has been published to help you teach your children the truths of the God's Word.
Start your children on these questions when they are young. They may not be able to understand all the word when they begin,
but the truth stored in their minds will help them in later years.
Christian parents should gather their families together each day for spiritual instruction and prayer.
Thia opportunity must be seized when the children are young. Even a child of two will bow his head, and say "Amen" at the end of a prayer.
This Catechism is given to help you teach your children the Word of God. Family worship might include:
1. Two or three verses of a hymn or chorus
2. The reading of a few verses of Scripture
3. Catechism questions and answers
4. Prayer
Never be tedious or long-winded. All the above items can be covered within ten minutes. Vary their form and order. Encourage the children to pray.
Use your imagination to make family worship attractive and interesting.
The children will sometimes be ready to discuss the Catechism with you. They will enjoy looking up the passages of Scripture where the Catechism truths are found.
Prayer for the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit. God will honour you if you are faithful.
Remember the promise, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6.
A Word for MINISTERS and CHRISTIAN WORKERS:
Each of these questions provides an excellent basis for a weekly children's talk in a service or a Sunday School.
They will supplement the Sunday School class teaching. As the children learn the questions and answers you will find them better able to
understand the Bible. Children taught this catechism will grow up in your church as a generation of young people able to appreciate biblical teaching,

The teaching of the Bible is not proved by just a few texts. Each text of Scripture should
be understood in the light of the passage in which it is found. Sometimes a truth is stated
clearly in a single verse. When this is the case just one or two references are given. More
usually the truths to which the Catechism refers are woven throughout the whole Bible,
and when this is so several references are given.
