Coe, George Albert. Education in religion and morals. [**]$1.35. Revell.
Professor Coe finds the essence of religious education “on the part of the teacher self-revelation and self impartation; on the part of the pupil, self-expression and self-realization.” In other words, all religious education is the “genuine mingling of a developed life in the interests and occupations of an undeveloped life.” (Bib. World). The best field for religious training is in the home, where the most free and natural relations exist. It is by revealing a sincere and self-sacrificing attitude toward life that a religious influence can be exerted.
“It is in the breadth, courage and sanity of his survey of the social situation that the chief merit of his work is found.”
