PREFATORY NOTE
This book gives the gist of the Author’s lectures on the themes of which it treats, and which have been given from time to time to Seminary and Training School students, and also before more popular gatherings, in Y. M.
C. A. lecture courses and elsewhere. It is hoped it may be useful to those who have not access to larger books, or perhaps the time or ability to use them. The questions accompanying each chapter are in tended to take the place of an index, and may possibly increase the value of the book as an introductory text-book for teachers in Bible Institutes, and Nor mal Training classes whose number is constantly growing, and to whose efficiency for their particular work the Au thor would be glad to contribute.
fam42 The Foolish Child explains what the Bible teaches on fools and foolishness, and also a parent's solution to a foolish child.
Excerpts: Ecclesiastes 4:13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. A fool is a person who rejects advice.
We can define the concept of foolishness as the lack of values and vision toward eternity, toward spiritual things. In other words, this person lives focusing on things that the person wants, and he does not pay attention to what God says as being important, or how God says we should live.
Proverbs 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
The basis of being wise is that you do not limit yourself, to just what you think you know. A wise person opens his thinking to the wisdom and advice of others, and weighs others’ opinions to see if they are right or not. The foolish only considers what he himself thinks, or what other fools like him think.
