_A Chapter to be often read as we study the art of object teaching. Follow these 10 Rules--they are Ten Steps to the Palace of Success_

THE TEN DEMANDMENTS

IN teaching children and others how to visualize God's truth, we must remember the Ten Demandments and keep them.

_First Demandment:_ You must love the child. Preaching to children is an _affair of the heart._ You must love them before you can reach them with the truth. A teacher seeking to win and teach little hearts must first have the degree of L. L. C. which being interpreted means "Love Little Children." God will confer on you this degree. Don't begin until God marks you with it.

_Second Demandment:_ You must remember that the eye is the child's open door to the heart. It is eighteen times larger than the ear gate. They receive eighteen times more truth by their eyes than they do through their ears. They are always seeing things. You must remember this--sayeth the Second Demandment.

_Third Demandment:_ You must believe in the large opportunity and high privileges of working with children. It is the mountain top of importance. It is dealing with the largest soul value of the world. It yields quickly its reward. Be first on the ground. It is the richest ground in the Kingdom of Heaven. It brings early harvest--a harvest of Gold.

_Fourth Demandment:_ You must learn to know the child, study him like you would a book, or as carefully as you do your lessons. Study him at close range, and by loving contact. Chum with him. The best text book on the child question is the child himself. Master your object as well as your subject. This is the highest teaching of the highest order. Read
