“Let the child wait till he has grown and then choose his
own religion,” said an English statesman in the hearing of
Coleridge. Coleridge, leading his friend into the garden, said:
“I have decided not to put out any vegetables this spring, but
to wait till August and let the garden decide for itself whether
it prefers weeds or strawberries.” This is the logic of the
delayed instruction theory.--A. B. BUNN VAN ORMER,
“Studies in Religious Nurture.”
