“It is imagined that, now we have School-boards, we shall not want Sabbath-schools
so much, but may give over the young to the Secularists. Because the children are to
be taught the multiplication table, they will not need to be taught the fear of the
Lord! Strange reasoning this! Can geography teach them the way to Heaven, or
arithmetic remove their countless sins? The more of secular knowledge our juveniles
acquire, the more will they need to be taught in the fear of the Lord. To leave our
youthful population in the hands of secular teachers, will be to sell them to the
Ishmaelites.”
~ C.H. Spurgeon on Public Schools (PM102)

Spurgeon is the man!
spurgeon was a great believer in sabbath schools ie evangelistic lessons for children every sunday. the metropolitan tabernacle would gather in the young from the surrounding neighbourhood every sunday and teach them the gospel. there is such a need for this, especially in our day, for the masses of unchurched youngsters out there. you might be interested in this book.

ps the book is co-authored by the current pastor of the metropolitan tabernacle.
