Parents and others interested in the Spiritual and Moral welfare of
Children and averse to the sectarian dogmas and false ideas prevalent
under the name of religious teachings, have long felt the necessity
for literature which should impart true fundamental conceptions of
Nature, of Life and of Duty to the growing generation. As a portion
of its Fraternal activities the United Lodge of Theosophists has
long maintained a _Children's School of Theosophy_. To this School
come children of all ages, Theosophists and Non-Theosophists as to
Parentage. There are taught the primary truths common to all religions
and philosophies, dealing with Birth, Life, Death, Law, Action and
Duty. The Eternal Verities thus inculcated make for clean, sturdy,
wholesome physical, mental, as well as moral and spiritual happiness
and well-being. The experience thus gained in actual practice has been
embodied in two books, wherein the lessons and instructions found
helpful and formative to the highest character are plainly and clearly
outlined, with all necessary suggestions and directions to enable
Parents, Teachers and others to fit themselves to be the better able to
help and guide the plastic minds of the Children to true perceptions of
Life and Action.
BECAUSE--FOR THE CHILDREN WHO ASK WHY. Interesting,
comprehensible and assimilable, in clear and
reverent fashion this Book presents to Children
the answers to those questions of Self that
Parents find it most difficult to meet, and
affords a common basis of understanding to
Parent and Child.
