Preface

It is hoped that this Manual will meet the needs of the Sunday-school teacher. Its purpose is not only to furnish instruction in approved methods of preparing and teaching the lesson, but also to impart the information concerning the Scriptures and the Church, which often lies beyond his immediate reach. The various articles contained in it, have been reduced to as small a compass as the usefulness of the book will permit ; and it can readily be seen that it was no easy task to bring within the stipulated limits many of the subjects treated. Further, each author is responsible only for the matter contained in his own production. The books of reference have been carefully selected from a large number of valuable treatises and, as a rule, placed in the order of their helpfulness. The studious teacher will find these books useful in giving him that knowledge, which the requirement of brevity necessarily excluded from the Manual itself.

The thanks of the Editor are given to the Sunday-school Committee of the Diocese of Pennsylvania for their sustained aid ; especially to the Rev. Llewellyn N. Caley, the Rev. Edgar Cope, and Prof. Joseph P. Remington, who have been untiring in rendering assistance.
