Synopsis
Scripture Emblems Taught In The Household, By A Sunday-School Teacher J. Spilling — This book presents a didactic family dialogue where a father and mother lead children through the Bible’s symbols, or emblems, drawn from nature to illuminate spiritual truths. The chapters explore sun, moon, and stars as expressions of divine love, truth, and knowledge; the earth and its gardens, fields, and deserts as emblems of the human mind; and trees, fruits, oil, wine, and bread as representations of virtue, wisdom, and the means by which grace is cultivated. Through concrete examples—olive-trees, vines, fig-trees, oaks, and cedars—the work distinguishes loving, wise, and obedient life and explains the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. It emphasizes a universal law for interpreting Scripture symbols and encourages practical application of biblical wisdom in daily life and worship.
