Veritas Press - Phonics Museum

The Veritas Press Phonics Museum Program incorporates art and history as it teaches the basics of reading. The 1840s were a time of great growth and expansion for America. That adventurous spirit which led to the founding of this nation drove many to uproot their families and seek a better life in the west. Numerous families went west to escape the economic depression in the east. Settlers who headed for California (then part of Mexico) and the Oregon Territory (claimed by both the United States and England) considered themselves to be emigrants because they were leaving the United States. Emigrants often chose one of four routes for their westward journey. The Oregon Trail led to the northwest, an area ideal for farming and fur trading. The California Trail led to the southwest and the promise of wealth with the discovery of gold. A popular cattle trail and trade route comprised the third pathway to the west. The Sante Fe Trail led to New Mexico, a vast land for raising large herds of cattle. The final trail, the Mormon Trial, led to Utah and provided relief from religious persecution for the group called the Latter-Day Saints. The long, toilsome journey claimed numberless lives of those who sought a new beginning in the west. Travelers endured biting cold, burning heat, hunger, accidents, and disease. The chance of failure was decreases as the pioneers traveled together in groups called wagon trains. Within each wagon train community laws were often made by the people to govern themselves. As they worked together, numerous families were able to establish new homes in the west.

This is the seventh of thirty-one readers used in the Veritas Press Phonics Museum program. Ben is the well-known early American patriot, Benjamin Franklin. He was a highly regarded statesman during America's struggle for independence from England. His visits to England and France were instrumental in bringing about victory for the colonies over the British in the American Revolution of 1775-1781. By participating in many of the decisions and document of the War for Independence, Franklin's popularity was an important factor in bringing France into the war on the side of the colonists. Ben had many different jobs during his life, reflecting his broad range of abilities. In addition to being a statesman, Franklin was also a writer, scientist, inventor, and printer. He is probably best noted for writing Poor Richard's Almanac which was a collection of simple and witty sayings. One of his renowned sayings is: "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." As the first postmaster general, he also made sure the writings of others reached their intended destination. Franklin's accomplishments as a scientist and inventor are documented as well. Most people can picture Ben flying a kite in a thunderstorm to discover that lightning is really electricity. Furthermore, his list of inventions includes bifocals, the Franklin stove, and lightning rods -- all practical discoveries that are still used today.

Ben and His Pen (Phonics Museum, Seventh)

This is the eighth of thirty-one readers used in the Veritas Press Phonics Museum program. From 605-586 B. C. the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem and eventually destroyed the capitol city of Israel. During this time period many Israelites were taken captive and deported to Babylon. One of these prisoners was a godly young man by the name of Daniel who soon fell into favor with Nebuchadnezzar and advanced to become a top advisor to the king. God blessed Daniel's faithfulness. Daniel survived through the reign of three different kings and the Persian conquest of Babylon. While Darius the Mede was monarch of Babylon, Daniel was eighty years old and a trusted advisor to the king. However, other officials hated Daniel and attempted to have him removed. Under the pretense of being loyal to the king, they convinced him to decree that no one should pray or bow down to anyone other than Darius for a period of thirty days, upon penalty of death. The officials knew that Daniel prayed to God three times a day and would not stop because of the king's decree. Predictably, Daniel was arrested for praying to God. Because the laws of the Medes and Persians were irrevocable, Daniel was sentenced to death by being thrown to the lions. After a sleepless night Darius went to the den to see what had happened to his friend. Daniel was unharmed. Because Daniel was falsely accused of treason, the men who had brought the charges were thrown to the lions along with their families. Daniel was saved, and God was glorified.

Rolf is the son of Hiarandi the Unlucky. Hiarandi, at the urging of his wife, does an unforgivable thing: he lights a signal fire on a dangerous point of his land, challenging the accepted custom that place lucrative salvage at a higher value than the saving of life. However, the life that is saved that night causes his own death and the unjust outlawing of his son Rolf. This tale exemplifies the effect of Christ's teachings upon the Icelandic people during their heroic age. The book is set in Iceland in the days when Christianity has come to the island though the old customs still linger.
