Synopsis

This book presents excerpts from morning and evening exercises for opening and closing Sabbath school, containing readings, hymns, and prayers for each occasion. The author felt that it was necessary to provide a suitable manual for these important gatherings, as the scriptures do not always provide easy-to-access portions for reading or hymns appropriate to specific subjects. They endeavored to address these difficulties by organizing a series of exercises that present the fundamental truths of Christianity in a way that engages young minds and impresses the heart with feelings of religious and devotional character. The author intended to prevent wandering thoughts and engage all present in acts of devotion by incorporating alternate readings and responses by the teacher and pupils. They believed that these exercises, drawn from the Bible, would be acceptable to all denominations of Christians. This comprehensive manual aims to support pastors, teachers, and parents in imbuing the minds of young people with the cardinal truths of Christianity.
