Discipline and Order Essential

There should be discipline and order in our Sabbath schools. Children who attend these schools should prize the privileges they enjoy, and should be required to observe the regulations of the school.—Testimonies on Sabbath-School Work, 7, 8.CSW 179.2

If Christ is abiding in his [the teacher's] heart by faith, sin appears revolting. While he will have love, kindness, and tenderness for the scholars under his charge, he will feel that as a faithful servant he must discipline and preserve order in his class. If truth is cherished, the love of the Saviour is revealed in his words and deportment. The word of God with him is not a dead letter; he will give not only lip service, but heart service.—Testimonies on Sabbath-School Work, 25, 26,CSW 179.3
