A 1909 Sunday School guide by Rev T S Linscott presents study prompts on Genesis 4 Cain and Abel. It lists twenty two questions exploring family size, worship, offerings, sin, lying, murder, and divine justice, ending with a note on the Flood lesson for Feb 2, 1912.
A Sunday School lesson examines Cain and Abel as archetypes of disobedience and obedience, contrasting worship by self and by God through the proper shedding of blood. It links Abel’s accepted sacrifice to faith in God, Cain’s to pride and rejection, and notes the ongoing cry of blood from Golgotha as the basis of salvation.
