What may this 74 Religious Education of an American Citizen new transition in experience involve? What is to be the religious education of an American citizen ? In approaching this question one must again begin with definitions. Religious education, as has already been pointed out, is not attained by accepting a theological system, or concurring in an ancient creed, or learning by rote a prescribed catechism, however desirable or essential these acquisitions may be. Religious education means, a...s the words imply, the drawing out of the religious nature, the clarifying and strength- ening of religious ideals, the enriching and ra- tionalizing of the sense of God. Religious edu- cation is, therefore, not to be imposed from without, but to be developed from within. It assumes the susceptibility and responsiveness of human life to the approaches of the Divine life, and by every influence of suggestion and environ- ment clears the way by which the love of God may reach the soul of man. Education thus be- comes, as Lessing announced it to be, revelation; — the disclosure to the will of man of the will of God.
