In her final volume, Charlotte Mason gave us this In her final volume, Charlotte Mason gave us this plea: “Let us observe, notebook in hand, the orderly and progressive sequence, the penetrating quality, the irresistible appeal, the unique content of the Divine teaching; (for this purpose it might be well to use some one of the approximately chronological arrangements of the Gospel History in the words of the text).” The chronological arrangement she preferred was “The Gospel History,” a harmonization of the four Gospels by C. C. James. Enriched by Charlotte Mason’s own poems, it formed the basis for a branch of Bible lessons for Forms 3–6. The text of “The Gospel History” looks unassuming. It reads like the Bible text, which is natural, since Rev. James used the actual words English Revised Version (ERV), an 1881 translation in the King James tradition. In our homeschool, however, we found the ERV to be a bit inaccessible, so I began making equivalent readings based on the 1982 New King James Version (NKJV). Since one of the goals of the synthetic study is to bring out the emphasis of each Gospel writer, I decided to color-code the source of each sentence or phrase. It was in the process of doing this that I discovered the hidden genius of James’s unassuming work. Verse after verse and chapter after chapter I have thrilled at how he chose to harmonize and reconcile the biblical data. Now that my son has finished The Saviour of the World, we are continuing our study of “the orderly and progressive sequence … of the Divine teaching.” With C. C. James as my guide, the color-coded texts have enhanced the understanding of student and teacher alike. And “the irresistible appeal, the unique content of the Divine teaching” is becoming our possession for life. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #thesaviouroftheworld #charlottemason #charlottemasonbiblelessons #thegospelhistory

Allegory has always been a powerful way to express Allegory has always been a powerful way to express abstract ideas. From Isaiah’s Song of the Vineyard, to Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s Allegory of Good and Bad Government, to John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, allegory shows us how invisible ideas are dynamically related by pointing us to familiar phenomena that we see in the world every day. Charlotte Mason herself began Ourselves with the allegory of Mansoul, which has captured the imagination of countless readers of all ages. There is something about contemplating the soul as a kingdom which makes self-reverence, self-knowledge, and self-control more inviting and more profitable to contemplate. In 1917 Elsie Kitching wanted to express how the ideas of her mentor and teacher fit within the broader history of thought. She could have chosen an essay format, and with careful definitions and transitions have given us an academic and analytical exposition. Instead, she chose allegory. The result is a contextualization of Miss Mason’s ideas unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Kitching’s piece is highly unusual and as a team we discussed whether our audience would even appreciate her allegorical approach. But Kitching’s use of allegory places her in good company. And if you’re following us here, you’re probably just the kind of person who could find something inspiring and intriguing in Kitching’s one-of-a-kind presentation. So today it’s on the internet for the very first time, and you can read or hear it at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #charlottemasonpodcast #charlottemason #philosophyofeducation
“But Nature does more than this for us. She gives “But Nature does more than this for us. She gives us certain dispositions of mind which we can get from no other source, and it is through these right dispositions that we get life into focus, as it were; learn to distinguish between small matters and great, to see that we ourselves are not of very great importance, that the world is wide, that things are sweet, that people are sweet, too; that, indeed, we are compassed about by an atmosphere of sweetness, airs of heaven coming from our God. Of all this we become aware in “the silence and the calm of mute, insensate things.” Our hearts are inclined to love and worship; and we become prepared by the quiet schooling of Nature to walk softly and do our duty towards man and towards God.” (Charlotte Mason, “Ourselves” Book 2 p. 98) @tessakeath
