The role of parents for their children in spiritual growth is very important, and starting from an early age, teaching for children's spiritual growth is not only given to the church, or during Sunday school services but the most important and most important is the role of parents in the family for her children.

School Movement

Juvenile associations in aid of foreign missions made their appearance both in the Church of England and in the Nonconformist churches in the wake of the successful campaign in 1813 to modify the East India Company charter in order to open British India to evangelical missionary work. The fervour which the campaign engendered led to the formation of numerous local associations in support of the missionary societies. In some cases these associations had juvenile branches attached. However, until the 1840s children’s activity in aid of foreign missions was relatively sporadic. Children’s missionary literature was almost non-existent. Such children’s missionary activity as did take place was confined largely to the children of church and chapel congregations; before the 1840s there was little perception of the vast potential for missionary purposes of the Sunday-school movement.

Will Of God

When William Ames (1576–1633) chose not to wear a surplice while preaching at a Cambridge University chapel, he embodied the Reformation spirit of defiance toward the symbols of ecclesiastical and educational authority. This action and subsequent signs of dissent within the Church of England earned Ames a life of exile in the Netherlands. Yet in serving as a professor at the Universities of Leiden and Franeker, the Puritan scholar perfected methods of instruction that would establish him as an authority among those similarly committed to learning the revealed will of God and investigating the structure and operation of the human mind.

Arnold Ashley Miles was born in York on the 20 March 1904. He was the second child and only son of Harry and Kate Miles. Both his father and mother were the youngest of large families, but there is little known about their backgrounds. His father’s family came from Dorset, where they were farmers in the last century. Ashley’s father was the son of a shoemaker resident in Shaftesbury, Jeremiah Miles, and was put early to an apprenticeship with drapers in London. He moved to Sheffield where he met Ashley’s mother, Kate Elizabeth Hindley, at the Wesleyan Sunday School, and saved up enough money to start up a draper’s shop in York, which he ran until he retired. The most notable of Ashley’s relatives was his father’s brother, George, who went as a missionary to China, lived through the Boxer Rebellion, and translated Wesley’s sermons into Chinese. Ashley had little knowledge of his mother’s family with the exception of an older brother, William Hindley, who went to Australia as a Methodist preacher, transferred to the Church of England and eventually became Archdeacon of Melbourne. This uncle spent many leaves with Ashley’s parents, smuggling comics for the children into the house in his coat-tails. He was adored by the Miles children and Ashley kept in contact with him throughout his life.
