In your sand pile build a tiny city of Jerusalem. You will know just how to make it after you have read the story on page 218 of "The Golden Book." Put it on a hill with valleys on three sides of it. Use stones to build the wall. (See page 216 T.J.) Put a large white stone where you think the temple stood. The picture on page 480 in "Hero Tales" will show you how the city really looked. After you have built the city and neighboring hills and valleys as well as you can, show them to your mother and father and explain all the interesting features. Tell about the path on the wall and its use; tell why the city was built on a hill; tell about the gates in the wall. (See page 215 T.J.) Explain who built the temple and tell anything else you may know about the greatest city of the Bible lands. In the back of the volume, "The Songs of the Ages," you will find an index of illustrations and can easily turn to all the pictures of Jerusalem in these volumes and learn some interesting things. 8. How Can I Interest My Child in the Great Works of Art in THE BIBLE STORY? The interest of children in works of art, if unguided, usually lasts only for a moment. Let some one, however, begin to talk about the picture and the child fixes eager eyes upon it and follows every word with breathless attention. "Talking about a picture is simply letting a picture talk," and many of these pictures are volumes in themselves which one must read carefully to know all they are meant to tell. The following paragraphs furnish questions and suggest lines of study which will often open the door of the child's mind to artistic appreciation. {22} _Talking about Pictures_ What painter of Madonnas was called the "peasant painter of Spain"? 30 G.B. There are four Madonnas by this artist in "The Golden Book" 30, 348, 436, 450 G.B. Which two most resemble each other? How do even these two differ? Which is thought to be the most beautiful of all? Which is your favorite? Why? Find the one painted without the child. Did you notice two little seraphs that are in almost the same position on pages 436 and 450 G.B.? In which of the pictures do you think the painter has shown the most loving mother? Describe some other children's pictures painted by this great man. 336, 480 G.B. Who is generally considered the greatest of all painters? 220 G.B. Name the most famous Madonna in the world 220 G.B.
