SHOULD WE CATECHISE OUR CHILDREN AND. WHY?
Printed by Resolution of Synod.
The character of this paper is largely determined by its sub- ject and occasion. When the officers of a Lutheran Synod request a Lutheran Pastor to discuss such a question as this, they evi- dently have in mind the necessity of the intelligent approval and hearty co-operation of the laity with the clergy in carrying out a system to the efficiency of which all ages bear witness. This discussion is meant, therefore, rather for the people than the pas- tor. It has been truly said: "The minister in the Lutheran Church who either from a sense of incapacity for the work, a dis- inclination to it, or from outside clamor or abuse, neglects cate- chetical instruction is unworthy the name he bears. He has entered the wrong fold-he lives in the wrong element." He who has taken upon himself the solemn vow of ordination in which he promises "to preach and to teach the pure word of God in accord- ance with with the Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church," unless he has been wofully unfaithful in the discharge of the duties thus imposed upon him, needs not, for himself, that such a question be discussed. But while we as pastors are per- suaded of the great utility and necessity of catechisation, we are not unmindful of the false light in which it is regarded by some of our own people. To present the subject in its true light, hoping thus to correct some wrong impressions concerning it, is our hum- ble and only design.
With this object in view we ask, What is meant by the term "to catechise?" The Greek word from which it has its form and meaning, signifies "to teach orally," "to instruct," and carries with it the idea of patient, persistent endeavor. To "catechise" is to din in the truth by giving line upon line and precept upon precept. The word is a biblical one. Luke wrote unto Theophilus to show unto him the certainty of those things whercin he had been "catechised." (Luke I:4.) Apollos, that eloquent man from Alexandria, who was mighty in the Scriptures, had been "cate- chised in the way of the Lord. " (Acts XVIII:24.) From Alexan- dria, the home of that famous catechetical school which we know to have existed at a very early date and which tradition says was
-39-
founded by St. Mark the evangelist, the word passed into eccle- siastical use. According to both its biblical and ecclesiastical use, catechisation has to do not with instruction concerning divine things in general, but with "instruction in the way of the Lord," concerning salvation in Christ Jesus. Originally this instruction from necessity preceded baptism as it must still do in heathen lands. Where, however, the church has been established it per- tains to the imparting of saving truth to those who in infancy by baptism have been made members of the body of Christ. It is thus an endeavor on part of the parents to bring their children up "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," and on part of the church to obey the Master's word: "Feed my lambs." It is this usage which we are called upon to defend and advocate.
What then is the substance of this instruction in the way of the Lord? What is the truth which we urge parents and pastors to write upon the minds and hearts of our youth? Whence has it come? What is its age? Brethern it comes from God and is as old as the soul of man. Its development may be traced through the ages of human history.
Man was created in the image of God. That image consisted in perfect righteousness and holiness, undefiled knowledge, sin- cere faith and fervent devotion. Such a condition was the reflec- tion of God's law written in the heart of man. That law was afterwards embodied in the Ten Commandments. And this is the first part of our Catechism.
No sooner had man fallen from his high estate and made him- self subject to Satan than was given to him the promise of the seed of the woman, that should bruise and crush the serpent's head. Thus already in Paradise God revealed to our parents the way of faith. And this is the second part of our Catechism.
From this revelation and promise there arose immediately a longing for the coming of the Saviour. At the birth of her first born, Eve, thinking the promise fulfilled exclaimed, "I have gotten a man from the Lord." Thus was developed prayer. And this is the third part of our Catechism.
The sacrament of the altar had its prefigurement in the offer- ings which God instituted for the strengthening of His people's faith. The sacrament of baptism had its prototype in the rite of circumcision instituted at a very early date. And these form the fourth and fifth parts of our Catechism.
- These truths were handed down from generation to generation
-40-
through Abraham, Moses, David, the prophets and John the Bap- tist. They were essential for the salvation of God's people in all the Old Testament ages. And when in the fulness of time Christ came he made them the fundamental truths of the New Dispensa- tion. He began his public ministry by expounding the Ten Com- mandments. He struck the key-note of the Gospel when he said, "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." He taught his disciples to pray and gave them the promise, "Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it you." He gave the all-embracing commission: "Go ye, therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." He in- stituted his Holy Supper for the strengthening of our faith and as- surance of forgiveness through Him. Thus Christ Jesus gave prominence to the truths of the Catechism. Surely if there is any respect due to antiquity, if there is any glory in divine origin, the Catechism merits our attention and we ought to teach it to our children.
And as these truths set forth in the Catechism comprised the way of salvation from the beginning, so they are ordinarily es- sential for the salvation of each soul. I come into the world a sin- ful being. The first thing necessary for deliverance is a knowl- edge of misery. But such is the power of sin that I do not per- ceive my lost condition. God must open my eyes by revealing to me His commandments. By the law is the knowledge of sin.
Slain by the law, I can be made alive only through faith. I must learn of God who loves me, of Christ who redeemed me, of the Holy Ghost who calls me. This knowledge is brought to me in the Creed.
A child of God, I must commune with him. I must thank and praise Him for his goodness, I must cast all my cares upon Him, I must beseech Him for his continual mercy. I must be taught to pray.
That I may have the full assurance of faith, and the certainty of the new birth which gives me entrance into the Kingdom of God, I must be taught the truth concerning baptism, "the wash- ing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost."
And that I may have the individual assurance that Christ died for me and arose again for my justification, I must learn that in the Lord's Supper Christ Jesus gives me His body and blood,
-41-
by the breaking and shedding of which my redemption was secured.
The origin, age and substance of the Catechism's truths show us that we should catechise our children.
From a consideration of the truths to be taught, we turn to the mode of teaching them, catechisation. If the Catechism contains nothing new, neither is catechisation a modern invention or inno- vation as some people would have us think. It reaches back to the days of the primitive church. In carrying out the commission of Christ, "Teach them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you," the apostles and fathers were obliged to do more than could be accomplished by the general preaching of the Word. The Lord Himself gave them the example. He went about both to teach and to preach. A great part of his work as a prophet was accomplished by catechising the individual. Follow- ing his example, Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house in Rome and received all that came to him, "preaching the kingdom and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ." And that the early church was diligent in catechisation there can be no doubt. We read of Clement of Alexandria, Origen and Dyonisius, of Gregory, Didymus and Cyril, besides a host of other catechists. "The practical art of catechisation," says Schaff, "originated together with the church. Some instruction in the truths of Christianity, more or less comprehensive, more or less profound, was no doubt from the very first days of the church considered as an indispensable condition of admission into its membership." Catechisation has had a history. What does that history teach us? Unmistakably this: Wherever the parents in the home and the pastor in the church have been diligent in cate- chisation there the church of Christ has flourished and increased, while its members were built up in the faith; and that whenever catechisation has been neglected or corrupted, the church has lost its truth, its power and its life and the beast of ungodliness has roamed abroad in the land. History tells us that we should cate- chise our children.
And when we remember what is the true object of catechisa- tion, that it is not merely to add a list of names to a particular congregation, that it is not a mere formality that becomes a sort of work righteousness, that it is not a mere imparting of head-know1- edge; but that it is to lead our children to a saving knowledge of the Gospel, so that each one can say, "I believe, " and have the assurance concerning his faith, "This is most certainly true,"-
-42-
it is difficult for us to see how anyone who thinks, not to say vearns for the salvation of his children and those about him can oppose or neglect this blessed work. Surely we, who first of all are Christians, and then profess to be members of that historic church now called Lutheran, should catechise our children.
And why?
Would you have reasons other than those we have derived from the intrinsic value of the work itself, then know that the Saviour commands it and the nature of grace demands it.
When Jesus was about to commit the work of his kingdom to his disciples, he said unto Simon Peter, "Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" Peter said unto him, "Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee." Then said Jesus unto him, "Feed my lambs .. " The green pastures of God's word are intended for the whole flock. Christ Jesus desires that the lambs of the flock as well as the sheep be fed. Now how is this to be done? The obligation rests first of all with the parents of the children. From the parents the children receive both body and soul. The parents must therefore care for and feed the souls of their children as well as their bodies. Having suffered them to come unto Christ, they are commanded to "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." To aid parents in the fulfillment of this duty was the original design of the Catechism. Each part is there given "in the plain form in which it is to be taught by the head of the family."
But this obligation rests also with the church. This is shown by the connection which the command, "Feed my lambs, " holds with the other command, "Feed my sheep." And when Christ Jesus was about to ascend to his Father, it was to the church that he gave the commission, "Go ye therefore and make disciples of all the nations-teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."
With words so plain, shall we as pastors be faithful in preach- ing but negligent in teaching? Do we not consider our Saviour's words: "Whatsoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a mill-stone were hanged about his neck and that he were drowned in the depths of the sea?" If we feed the sheep and starve the lambs, how shall we say that we love God? His first command to those who love him is, "Feed my lambs." Our pulpit ministrations ought, indeed, pertain to the children as well as the adults. Our Sunday schools are especially meant for the little ones. But in neither of these can
-43-
they be fed sufficiently. This can be done properly only by that work of the pastor which we call catechization. "To the church the children are entrusted by baptism, the church has to bring them up to the Christian churchly maturity."
This brings us to the kernel of the whole matter. The whole plan of salvation as believed, confessed and taught by the Evan- gelical Lutheran Church demands of us that we catechise our children.
We begin with the baptism of our children. Whatever doubts others may have, we believe that when Christ gave the commission to baptize all the nations he did not exclude the children. We be- lieve, as it is written, that this promise is unto us and to our chil- dren. We believe that, as much as we love our little ones, they are not born angels but sinners, and that except they be born again they cannot enter into the kingdom of God. We believe that through the Word as it is applied in baptism this new birth is granted unto them and they are made children of God. But our faith does not rest there. We do not forget that this is only a birth. The new life is only in its beginning. It must be developed. It must be nourished and fed. No created life is at its best in its beginning. The very nature of life is to progress. Where ad- vancement ceases death ensues. This law of growth is as dis- tinctly marked in spiritual things as in things natural. "First the blade and then the ear, and then the full corn in the ear, " is the method of all the divine operations in nature and in grace. We do not expect to reap the grain as soon as we sow the seed. When God would produce the sturdy oak he draws its life from the acorn and then nourishes that life continually for a hundred years. When he needs the mightiest reformers he finds a Joseph, a David, a Paul, and a Luther, who had their moral muscle forged into iron qualities in their youth. God's highest type of a Christian on earth is an aged follower of Jesus, who has known the Scriptures from childhood.
"Being born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever," as new - born babes our children must have "the sincere milk of the Word that they may grow thereby."
In this law of growth is rooted our absolute obligation to cate- chise our children in the way of the Lord, that the life which they receive in baptism may not perish but live forever.
Oh ye fathers an 1 mothers, consider what an office is yours in
-44-
·· training children for eternity! Oh ye pastors, forget not the charge that is entrusted to you in the teaching of the young! How shall we answer for our unfaithfulness when we shall stand before the Judge of all the world, if, having done so charitable an act in the baptism of a child, we neglect-and I hope you will recognize the language-"diligently and faithfully to teach it, or have it taught, the Ten Commandments that thereby it may learn to know the will of God; also the Christian Faith set forth in the Creed, whereby we obtain grace, the forgiveness of sins and the Holy Ghost; and likewise the Lord's Prayer that it may call upon God and find help to withstand the devil and lead a Christian life, till God shall perfect that which he hath now begun in it and bring it to life everlasting."
Oh that we might say to all those in anywise dependent upon us: "Give ear, O my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old; which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their chil- dren, showing to the generation to come the praise of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born, who should arise and declare them to their children; that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his com- mandments. (Ps. 78:1-8.)
