Humanly this may also be thought of as the conscience, an integral part of the soul. This short essay suggests that a Christian has a wonderful secret life within him that must be managed to help him through the day-to-day challenges of life.

His story stands out because he comes on the scene as a juror in a trial of another Baptist preacher arrested on charges of preaching without a license, yet later on was himself in jail several times for the same charge. This paper tells his encouraging story in the long battle for religious liberty.

Their general needs will be determined through reviews of statistical information and current literature. Basic principles of curriculum design will be consulted along with analysis of sample curriculum materials and research in the area of adult Christian education. An appropriate curriculum plan for senior adults will then be developed based on surveys that reflect their current needs and preferences in the area of Sunday School Teaching.
