Summary

"The Children's Tabernacle; Or, Hand-Work and Heart-Work" by A. L. O. E. is a late 19th-century children's book that uses the story of the Old Testament Tabernacle to teach young readers about faith, morality, and the value of working together. When the Temple family is stuck inside with whooping cough, siblings Lucius and Agnes start arguing, highlighting how boredom can lead to trouble. Their mother suggests a project: building a model of the Tabernacle. This turns into not just a fun activity, but also a way for the children to learn about religious duties and understand the importance of their faith through teamwork and hands-on learning, blending practical skills with moral lessons for young minds.
