SUNDAY-SCHOOL SPEAKER:

Preface

So much difficulty is experienced by Sunday School Superintendents and Teachers in finding pieces suitable to be spoken at Sunday School Concerts that I have been induced to form the collection which is presented in this little volume. It has been drawn from a wide variety of sources, and the pieces have nearly all been used with acceptance on similar occasions. Whereever the author's name has been ascertained due credit has been given.

I can hardly hope that the present collection will be found fully adequate or complete, but it may do something to supply a want which has been felt in many quarters, and add to the attractiveness of the Sunday School Concert, which is steadily growing in favor, and has already become an established institution in many Sunday Schools. *

The large number of beautiful selections which the compiler has been enabled to include in this little volume leads her to hope, that, apart from its use as a Sunday School Speaker, it may be considered as a safe and suitable gift from a parent or Sunday School Teacher to a child.
