The stories also warn of the evils and consequences of drinking, fighting, playing with guns, playing too close to fires, imprisonment, and worshipping false Gods.
This lesson is about heathen temples and idol worshippers, and reminds children that there is only one true God. The illustration depicts a group of Chinese men worshipping before a Buddha statue. The caption under the illustration says "Heathens worshipping their idols." |
