Excerpt from Are the Apostles' Creed, Lord's Prayer, and Ten Commandments, Dissevered From the Rest of the Church Catechism, an Authoritative Scheme of Religious Instruction and Education for the Young in Schools, According to the Church of England? I pointed out that this summary of facts, the Apostles' Creed, used in connection with the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Command ments, would be a helpful guide for teachers and a satisfactory test for examination, and would furnish a basis for religious teaching common both to Board Schools and to Denominational Schools, and a ground of union in that respect between various religious bodies. The affirmative assertion, that the Creed, Lord's Prayer, and Ten Commandments, and not the Catechism, is the authoritative Educational basis of the Church, is based upon the Prayer Book. An examination of it, therefore, will test the soundness of the assertion. It rests, however, really upon another assertion besides or behind. The advocates of this novel view assume a distinction between the teaching and pastoral offices of the Church in the matter of Christian instruction and education of the young. The pastor's office is assumed to dictate (2) the Church Catechism to be taught as a preparation for Confirmation the teacher's office to indicate the Creed, Lord's Prayer, and Ten Command ments, as the milk for babes suited to the days of school instruction.
