I was thinking this morning about the church of my youth and the Southern Baptist Sunday School which was the center of it. There was the Six Point Record System, the extensive organization, class officers, weekly Teachers’ Meetings, Assemblies, rigorous age grading, separation of men and women, the weekly Sunday School Report at the following Church Service, etc. And then there was BTU (Baptist Training Union) with its Eight Point Record System. It was all good disciplinary training if perhaps a bit legalistic and short on spirituality and divine mystery.
Fortunately all that history is documented in an online full text of a 1936 book on the subject. Anybody who grew up Southern Baptist in that era will enjoy looking through it. I wonder if anything has changed!
Below are a couple of screen shots about the Six Point Record System. These are from the book linked above.
