FOREWORD.
Childhood is the impressible and important period of life. The
child deserves the best. In the cultivation of his religious life, no
pains should be spared in the home and in the Sunday-school to
teach him good music. In the selection of this music, the law of
variety must prevail. The melodies must be simple, sweet, and
harmonious. Careful attention must be given to the words. It
must not be forgotten that the impression made upon the child lies
m the heart, as the seed in the soil, to be revealed in due time, and
that hymns suitable to his wants need not always be on a level with
his understanding. Hence, for the expression of religious sentiment,
the old forms of Response, the Chant, and the Hymn are particu-
larly suitable, and should find place in the regular Sunday-school
program.
The attempt has been made in this book to combine musical
variety with excellence, for the purposes of worship and praise. In
addition, there are given suitable Orders of Service, Responsive
Selections, Prayers, and Supplemental Graded Lesson Material for
children between the ages of three and ten years.
In the use of this Hymnal, it will be found helpful to supply
children with copies, so that they may learn to sing the hymns and
study at home, thus interesting parents in their progress and securing
proper co-operation for the teacher's work in the class.
Thanks are due, and are hereby tendered to, the American
Baptist Publication Society, Eaton & IMains, F. E. Belden, David C
Cook Publishing Co,, W. H. Doane, Edward A. Horton, Geibel &
Lehman, J. H. Kurzenknabe, MacCalla & Co., H. R. Palmer, Mabel
A. Wilson, Miss Bertha F. Vella, and others for the use of words
and music ; to many Primary teachers and to Miss R. H. Schively
for valuable suggestions; and to Professor Fred C. Moyer for read-
ing and revising proof. A number of the hymns are taken from the
Sunday-school Hymnal, for which acknowledgment is hereby made.
The work is sent forth with the prayer that the Master will
accept it as a humble effort to carry out His desire :
" Suffer the little Children to come unto Me."

While we breathe our evening pray'r; From Thy glorious throne above ;
Save us from all harm and danger,' Though we sleep, Thy heart is wakefu)
Take us 'neath Thy sheltering care. Still for us it beats' with love.
2 Shield us from the wiles of Satan,
From the perils of this night ;
Safely may the guardian angels
Keep us in their watchful sight.

What your Joyful news today;

Down to such a world like thi.

There was laid a lit -tie Ba-by On a Vir- gin Moth-er's knee.
With His servants to at- tend Him, And with guards to keep the way.
In the world He had ere - a - ted There was not a room for Him !
And He took our hu-man na-ture In the great-ness of His love.

On the Christmas morning ?
On the Chri8t?iias morn-ing
Shepherds sat U[)on the ground,
Fleecy Hocks were scattered round,
When a brightness (illed the sky,
Wlit^n a voice was heard on high
On th3 Christmas morning.
"Joy and peace !" the angels sang;
Far the pleasant echoes rang;
"Peace on earth, to men good-will!"
Hark I the ano^els sing it still
On the Christmas morning.
5 For a little Babe that day
Cradled in a manger lay,
Born on earth our Lord to be;
This the wondering angels see
On the Christmas morning.

Peace and love, and all good-will;
This fair Babe of Bethlehem
Children loves, and blesses them

WATCHMAN, TELL US OF THE NIGHT
Tune, — "Watchman."
John Bowring, 1825.
1 Watchman, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are;
Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height.
See that glory -beaming star !
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.
2 Watchman, tell us of the night;
Higher yet that star ascends;
Traveler, bles.sedness and light,
Peace and truth, its course portends;
7s. D.
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own ;
See, it bursts o'er all the earth!
Watchman, tell us of the night.
For the morning seems to dawn;
Traveler, darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn;
Watchman, let thy wanderings cease;
Hie thee to thy quiet home!
Traveler, lo, tlie Prince of Peace,
Lo- the Sou of God is come!

With a pure, clear light,
Like a Uttle candle,
Burning in the night;
In the world is darkness,
So we must shine,
You in your small corner,
And 1 in mine.
Jesus bids us shine
First of all for Him.
Well He sees and knows it
If our light grows dim;
He looks down from heaven
To see us shine.
You m your small corner,
And 1 in mine.
3 Jesus bids us shine
Then, for all around;
For many kinds of darkness
In the world are found.
Sin and want and sorrow;
So we must shine.

JESUS, ONCE AN INFANT SMALL.

Rkv. Thomas Benson Pollock, (1836— ) 1870.
1 Jesus, once an infant small,
Cradled in the oxen's stall,
Though the God and Lord of all;
Hear us. Holy Jesus!
2 Once a child so good and fair.
Feeling want, and toil, and care,
All that we may have to bear;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!
S Jesus, Thou dost love us still.
And it is Thy holy will
That we should be safe from ill ;
Hear ua, Holy Joaus!
Be Thou with us ev'ry day.
In our work and in our play,
When we learn and when we pray
Hear us, Holy Jesus!
When we lie asleep at night.
Ever may Thy angels bright
Keep us safe till morning's light ;
Hear us, Holy Jesus!
Make us brave, without a fear,
Make us happy, full of cheer,
Sure that Thou art always near:
Hear us, Holy Jesus!

JESUS IN THE TEMPLE, WITH THE DOCTORS WISE.

Jesus in the temple, with the doc-tors wise, Asking wondrous questions, giv- ing deep re-plies;
In the humble Nazareth, where they made His home, When He out of Egypt long a - go had come ;
From the mount o' Zion where His prais-es rang, From the lips of children as they ho-san- na sang;
At the Lord's last supper ere ne went to die, In that upper chamber as the end drew nigh ;
ere His soul went up, As He drank the fullness of the bit - ter cup,
in the world a - bove, Where the little children learn His wondrous love;
From that cross of sorrow,
On the hills of heaven.

BUDS AND BLOSSOMS OF THE SPRING.
Time,— "Martyn." 7s. D.
E. Hewitt.
Buds and blossoms of the spring.
Bloom to praise the heav'nly King;
Let the joyful news be spread,
Christ is risen from the dead.
Refrain.
Ever living, loving Friend,
Now to Thee our songs ascend;
Make us pure in heart, that we
May the heav'nly vision see.
2 Empty now the Savior's tomb;
Light is shining through the gloom ;
He is living evennore
On the bright et^emal shore. — Ref.
3 Teach us, Savior, day by day,
Walking with us by the way;
May our hearts within us bum,
While still more of The« we learn. — Ref.

'2 The old man, meek and mild,
The priest of Israel, slept ;
His watch the temple-child,
The little Levite, kept ;
And what from Eli's sense was sealed,
The Lord to Hannah's son revealed.
3 O give me Samuel's ear.
The open ear, O Lord,
Alive and quick to hear
Each whisper of Thy word ;
Like him to answer at Thy call,
And to obey Thee first of all.
4 O give me Samuel's mind
A sweet, unmurmuring faith,
Obedient and resigned
To Thee in life and death ;
That I may read with child-like eyes
Truths that are hidden fix)m the wise.

It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And eahns the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest
Satan accuses me in vain.
And I am owned a child.

Far away from Him who has loved me so;

Tribute to your heavenly King;
Lay it on the altar high,
While your songs ascend the sky;
Little givers, do your part
With a glad and willing heart;
For the angel voices say,
Little givers, give to-day.

Tidings of a heavenly birth,
Till the youth in every land
Learn the Savior's sweet conmiand:

WE SING A LOVING JESUS.
7s, & 6s.
We sing a loving Jesus
Who left His home above,
And came to earth to ransom
The children of His love;
It is an oft-told storj^, ^
And yet we love to tell
How Christ, the King of glorj^,
Once deigned with man to dwell.
D.
In deep humiliation
He came, His work to do;
O liord of our salvation,
Let us be humble too.
2 We sing a holy Jesus;
No taint of sin defiled
The Babe of David's city,
The pure and stainless child.
O teach us, blessed Savior,
Thy heavenly grace to seek,
And let our whole behavior.
Like Thine, be mild and meek.
3 We sing a lowly Jesus,
No kingly crown He had ;
His heart was bowed with anguish.
His face was marred and sad :
4 We sing a mighty Jesus;
Whose voice could raise the dead
The sightless eyes He opened.
The famished souls He fed.
Thou camest to deliver
Mankind from sin and shame;
Redeemer and Life Giver,
We praise Thy holy name!
5 We sing a coming Jesus;
The time is drawing near.
When Christ with all His angels
In glory shall appear;
Lord, save us, we entreat Thee,
In this Thy day of grace,
That we may gladly meet Thee,
And see Thee face to face.

O COME, DEAR CHILD, ALONG WITH ME.

1 O come, dear child, along with me,
And look on yonder clear blue sky.
The moon is shining bright, you see,
And stars are twinkling up on
high.
2 'Tis there, my child, far, far above, 4
That heaven's eternal kingdom lies;
There holy angels dwell in love,
And tears are wiped from off all
eyes.
It is a happy, happy place.
Without a sorrow, pain, or care;
There you may see the Savior's face.
Who loves to take good children
there.
O, pray each night that God may bless
And keep you while on earth you
stay.
And give you endless happiness,
When from the earth you pass away.

THERE IS A LAND OF
Tune.—" Variiia '
PURE DELIGHT.
C. M. D.
IsAAo Watt*.
There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign,
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain
There everlasting spring abides,
And never withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divider
This heavenly land from ours
Swee* fields beyond the swelling
Stand dressed in living green,
io to the Jewg old Canaan stood,
White JordAD rolled between
But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross the narrow sea;
And linger, shivering on the brink.
And fear to launch away.
S O could we make our doubts remove
These gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan thai we love
With unbeclouded eyes,
Could we but climb where Moses stoo^" .
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death'* ooiA
flood,
Should fright us from the sho2«i.

ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL AND FAIR,

Soft green mossy banks among,
Sliadowing forth the clouds above,
Softly murmur, " God is love! "

Unto us has all things given ;
Let us as through life we move.
Ever feel that "God is love!"

Made by His loving hand ;
ITiese little eyes He made to see,
These feet He made to stand.
t More wonderful I am
Than I shall ever know.
For to these limbs of mine is giv'n
The wondrous jjower to grow.
8 What can I do to please
The God so good to me?
I*ll daily try each hour to live
The life He loves to see.
4 These feet shall sUmd for Him,
These eyes look on PI is face ,
And as each year I grow in height,
I'll try to grow in grace.
6 This tongue shall speak no word
His Spirit grieves to hear.
Nor shall tliis hand He made e'er cause
One needless pain or tear.

By reading in His word,
And trv to be His little child

Just following my Lord.
HUSH, MY DEAR, LIE STILL AND SLUMBER.
8s, & 7s.
1 Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber;
Holy angels guard thy bed ;
Heav'nly blessings, without number,
Gently falhng on thy head.
2 Sleep, my babe; thy food and raiment,
House and home, thy friends pro-
vide ;
And, without thy care or payment,
All thy wants 'are well supplied.
8 How much better thou'rt attended
Than the Son of God could be,
When from heaven He descended,
And became a child like thee !
4 Soft and easy is thy cradle ;
Coarse and hard thy Savior lay,
When His birth-place was a stable,
And His softest bed was hay.
6 Blessed Babe? what glorious features?
Spotless fair, divinely bright !
'Tis thy ^mother sits beside thee,
And her arms shall be thy guard.
8 Yet to read the shameful story,
How the Jews abused their King,
How they served the Lord of glory,
Makes me angry while I sing.
9 See the kinder shepherds round Him,
Tellini^ wonders from the sky ;
Where they sought Him, there they
found Him,
With His virgin mother bj^
10 See the lovely Babe a-dressing.
Lovely infant, how He smiled !
When He wept, the mother's blessing
Sooth' d and hush'd the holy Child.
n Lo! He slumbei-s in the manger.
Where the horned oxen fed ! —
Peace, my darling, here's no danger,
There's no ox a-near thy bed.
Must HedweU with brutal creatures? 12 May'st thou live to kno'w and feai
How could angels bear the sight? Him,
6 Was there nothmg but a mangar
Cursed smners could a fiord,
To receive the heav'nly Stranger?—
Did they thus affront the Lord ?
¥ Soft, my child, I did not chide thee,
Though my song might sound too
hard.
•Bm* 70U may um th« word Brother, Sister. Neiffkkw, etc
Trust and love Him all thy days ;
Then go dwell for ever near Him,
See His face, and sing His praise,
18 I could give thee thousand kisses,
Hoping what I most desire ;
Not a mother's fondest wishes
Can to greater joys aspire.

A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry ;

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear I
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer !
0, what peace we often forfeit,
O, what needless pain we bear —
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere ?
We should never be discouraged.
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful.
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge —
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee ?
Take it to the Lord in prayer ;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Kock of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee ;
Let the Water and the Blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed.
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know.
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone.
Thou must save and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling ;
Naked, come to Thee for dress ;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace ;
Foul, I to the fountain fly ;
Wash me. Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath.
When my eyelids close in death.
When I soar to worlds unknown.
See Thee on Thy judgment-throne.

Let me hide myself in Thee.

Tune—" Wellesley."
There's a wideness in God's mercy.
Like the wideness of the sea ;
There's a kindness in His justice.
Which is more than liberty
There is welcome for the sinner.
And more graces for the good ;
There is mercy with the Savior,
There is healing in His blood.
For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of man's mind j
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple.
We should take Him at His word ;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run ;
His kingdom spread from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax aod wane no more.
From north to south the princes meet,
To pay their homage at His feet ;
While western empires own their Lord,
And savage tribes attend His word.
To Him shall endless prayer be made
And endless praises crown His head ;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song.
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name.

Abundant answer brings,
And heavenly gales are blowing
With peace upon their wings.
See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above ;
While sinners, now confessing.
The Gospel's call obey.
And seek tlie Savior's blessing —
A nation in a day.
Blessed river of salvation !
Pursue thine onward way ;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay ;
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home ;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, " The Lord is come !"
Samuel Francis Smith, 18:>'2.

Missionary Hymn.
From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
AYliere Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand,
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain.
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chains.
Wliat though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle,
Though every prospect pleases.
And only man is vile :
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown.
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
Can we, whose souls are Jlgntcd
With wisdom ft-om on high.
Can we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny ?
Salvation, O salvation !
The joyful sound proclaim.
Til! earth's remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's Name.
Waft, waft, ye winds. His story.
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole ;
Till o'er our ransomed nature.
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.
Reginald Ueber, 1819.

Jesus ! lover of my soul.
Let me to Thy bosom fly.
While the billows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past ;
Safe into the haven guide,
O, receive my soul at last I
Other refuge have T none ;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee ;
Leave, ah ! leave me not alone.
Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on Thee is stayed ;
All my help from Thee I bring ;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
Thou, O Christ, art all I want ;
More than all in Thee I find ;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint.
Heal the sick and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy name,
I am all unrighteousness ;
Vile and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
Plenteoua grace with Thee is found,
Grace to pardon all my sin ;
Let the healing streams abound.
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let me take of Thee ;
Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.

I love to tell the story
Of uuseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know 'tis true
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.
Refrain.
I love to tell the story,
'Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story ;
'Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it,
More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story ;
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God's own holy Word. — Ref.
I love to tell the story ;
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,

That I have loved so long. — Ref.

Tune—" Hursley.'*
Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear.
It is not night, if Thou be near ;
O, may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes
When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep.
Be my last thought : how sweet to rest
For ever on my Savior's breast.
Abide with me from morn till eve.
For without Thee I cannot live ;
Abide with me when night is nigh.
For without Thee I dare not die.
If some poor wandering child of Thine
Have spurned to-day the voice divine,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin ;
Let Him no more lie down in sin.
Watch by the sick ; enrich the poor
With blessings from Thy boundless store ;
Be every mourner's sleep to-night
Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
Come near and bless us when we wake,
Ere through the world our way we take.
Till in the ocean of Thy love
We lose ourselves in heaven above.

Jerusalem the golden !
AVith milk and honey blest,
Beneath Thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed.
I know not, O, I know not
What joys await us there,
What radiance of glory,
What bliss beyond compare I
They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song.
And bright with many an angel,
And all the ma^-'vr throng.
The Prince Is ever in them ;
The daylight is serene ;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
There is the throne of David ;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph.
The shout of them that feast.
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white.

Tune— " Dennis."
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love ;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent pra3^ers ;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes.
Our mutual burdens bear ;
And often for each other Hows
The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain ;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way ;
While each in expectation lives.
And longs to sec the day.
From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, wo shall be free ;
-A nd perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
John Fawcett. 1772.
Tune—" Bethany."
Nearer, my God, to Thee 1
Nearer to Thee !
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me ;
Still all my song shall be :
Nearer, my God, to Thee I
Nearer to Thee !
Though, like the wanderer.
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me.
My rest a stone ;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee I
Nearer to Thee 1
There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven ;
All that Thou sendest me.
In mercy given ;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee 1
Nearer to Thee 1
Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise ;
So by my M'oes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee I
Nearer to Thee I
Or, if on joyful wing.
Cleaving the sky.
Sun, moon and stars forgot.
Upward I fly.
Still all my song shall be :

Let mortal tongues awake ;
Let all that breathe partake ;
Let rocks their silence break,

around us who dwell.
3 "Nay, nay, do not hinder me, Nathan,
I feel such a burden of care;
And if to the Master I tell it,
That burden He'll help me to bear.
If He lay but His hands on the children,
My heart will be lighter, I know,
For a blessing forever and ever
Will follow them each as they go."
4 So over the mountains of Judah,
Along with the vines all so green,
With Esther asleep on her bosom,
And Rachel her brothers between.
With the people who hung on His teaching,
Or waited His touch or His word.
Through the row of proud Pharisees hastening,
She pressed to the feet of her Lord.
5 "Now why shouldst thou hinder the Master,"
Said Peter, " with children like these?
Thou knowest how from morn until evening
He is teaching, and healing disease."
Said Jesus, "Forbid not the children;
Permit them to come unto me! "
And He took in His arms little Esther.
And Rachel He set on His knee.
6 The care-stricken heart of the mother
Was lifted all sorrow above.
His hands kindly laid on the children,
He blest them with holiest love;
And said of the babes on His bosom,
"Of such is the kingdom of heaven; '*
And strength for all duty and trial
That hour to her spirit was given.

Two little hands now let us show,

Nor let them strike or fight,
But stretch them out in love,

But a better way is to make the offering at such a time that a song, prayer

box may be passed or the children may march around to it and drop their

He maketh me to lie down in green pas-

He restoreth my soul : He leadeth
me in the paths of righteousness for
His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil : for
Thou art with me : Thy rod and Thy staff
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence of mine enemies : Thou
anointest my head with oil ; my cup
runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life, and I will dwell

Why Needed. There are certain fundamental truths which it is believed
that the pupils of the beginners, primary, and junior ages
should know, and when these truths can be expressed in Bible words, whether
in the form of Bible verses or hymns, they are still more valuable to the
child. In addition to the memorizing of Bible verses and hymns the pupils of
the junior grades need to be taught facts about the Bible and drilled in hand-
ling it.
To provide for this teaching these supplemental lessons have been out-
lined. They are intended to be supplemental to the "special International Two-
Year Beginners' Lessons" in the beginners' grades, and are supplemental to
the regular International lesson in the primary and junior grades.
Why Graded Teachers of children, even when the pupils were not graded
Lessons. into classes and departments, have taught to their pupils
something beside the regular Bible lesson. Such lessons,
whatever they were, might be called supplemental lessons. Such teachers
were trying to meet the needs of their pupils but did not do it in a systematic
way.
The study of the child and the desire to give each succeeding class or
group of classes in these departments the same lesson has led to the system-
atizing of the work and the grading of such supplemental lessons so that
the truth taught, the Bible verses and hymns learned, and the facts acquired
may be suited to the needs and the capacities of the pupils.
The History of The outline as here presented is the outcome of years of
These Outlines. experimentation. It was first arranged by the International
Primary Department and presented at the International
Convention in 1902. It has since been carefully revised as experience has
shown the need, has been again endorsed by the Elementary workers of the
country and by the Executive Committee of the International Sunday-school
Association.
How Taught. These verses should be made into interesting lessons, that is,
they should not only be explained but developed as other
lessons arc that the pupil may grasp the truth of the text. Then the text
should be thoroughly memorized by the pupil.
By the use of pictures and illustrations, and in tlic junior grades by manual
work connected with the geography, these supplemental lessons arc very
interesting to the pupils.
These supplemental lessons arc not for rote memory work.
Parents should cooperate with teachers.
i I
GRADED SUPPLEMENTAL LESSONS.
35
Promotion. As the supplemental lessons are the grade work of the pupils,
proficiency in these lessons should be coupled with age,
ability, and development as a basis for promotion from class to class within
a department or from department to department.
If a record of the pupils' knowledge of the supplemental lessons is kept
by the class teacher, and parents encourage their children, the pupils will be
stimulated to do better work and the progress of the pupil can be carefully
noted.
A certificate may be given to the pupils from class to class or department
to department as recognition for the work accomplished.
Extra Memory Work. This outline provides for enough material for the
average school, if the lessons are not used as mere
rote work, and if the texts are explained and developed as intended. At the
same time some may be able to do more, while others may wish to have other
material to draw upon. This is provided for in the outline under "Extra Mem-
orization."

ARRANGEMENT OF MATERIAL
FOR YEARLY GRADE WORK.
Note — The Cradle Roll covers the
years up to three or thereabouts,
and during this time the teaching
is done in the home. The success
of all the following work depends
on home cooperation.
BEGINNERS.
Pupils Three, Four and Five Years Old.
Note — Children at this age are not yet
ready for memory work as such,
and the following verses have been
selected, that through them certain
fundamental truths may be taught.
These texts "may be developed and
taught in groups of three, all in one
year, and then repeated each year,
or one group may be used each
year for three consecutive years.
In any case adhere to the order of
the texts as given.
FIRST GROUP.
God's Love, i John 4: 8. (Last
Clause.)
God's Care. Psalm 4:8.
God's Goodness, Psalm 145:9. (First
Clause.)
SECOND GROUP.
The Children's Invitation, Mark 10:
14.
Love to Others, i John 4: 11.
Love Shown by Giving, Matt. 10:8.
(Last Clause.)
THIRD GROUP.
Love Shown by Obedience, Col. 3:20.
Test of Love. Prov. 20:11. (First
Clause.)
Love Shown by Kindness, Eph. 4:32.
(First Clause.)
PRIMARY.
Note — While it is expected that these
verses will all be memorized by
each pupil, the development of their
meaning and the impression of the
'truth which they contain is of the
first importance. When finally
memorized, the verses will then
stand in the mind of the child as a
verbal expression of the truth which
has been taught.

What the Bible says About Sin and
Salvation.
Note — This is intended as a prepara-
tion for Decision Day, or for lead-
ing classes or individuals to decide
to give their lives to Christ. The
outline needs five or six weeks for
its proper development, but should
not be used at all unless it is in-
tended to give each pupil an oppor-
tunity to make the decision. The
term Decision Day is used for con-
venience simply and not to pre-
scribe a plan or method.

Thousands can testify to the truth of what former President Eliot, of
Harvard College, has said — that the short memory gems learned when a boy
at school have gone with him through life, and have done him much good in
the hour of temptation.
Beautiful thoughts, like seed, dropped in the soil of the mind, bear pleasant
fruit in after years. How important to gather into the store house of memory
the ripe sayings, sententious v/isdom, and teachings of experience !
For this reason there are given herewith memory gems, which parents,
teachers, and friends of little children can give to them.
"Good manners are a part of
every little boy's and girl's educa-
tion."
''It is what a pupil does for him-
self, not what is done for him, that
educates him."
"There is nothing so kindly as
kindness
And nothing so royal as truth."
— Alice Gary.
"Quiet people are welcome every-
where."
"One cannot always be a hero,
but one can always be a man." —
Goethe.
"For the world is full of roses.
And the roses full of dew,
And the dew is full of heavenly
love
That drips for me and you."
— James Whitcomb Riley.
"There is always work
And tools to work withal
For those who will."
— Lowell.
"Who ran to help me when I fell.
And would some pretty story tell,
And kiss the place to make it well ?
Mv mother."
"All one's life Is music If we
touch the notes right and in tune."
RUSKIN.
"Kind words are like sunbeams,
That sparkle as they fall;
And loving smiles are sunbeams,
A light of joy to all."
"Do your best, your very best,
And do it every day,
Little boys and little girls,
That is the wisest way."
"The world wants men — true men —
Who cannot be bought or sold.
Men who scorn to violate trust ;
Genuine Gold."
"If wisdom's ways you wisely seek,
Five things observe with care:
To whom you speak, of whom you
speak.
And how, and when, and where."
"A laugh is worth a hundred
groans in any market." — Lamb.
"By-and-by is a very bad boy,
Shun him at once and forever :
For they who travel with By-
and-by
Soon come to the house of
Never/'

MEMORY SELECTIONS.
"What's brave,
What's noble,
Let's do it."
— Shakespeare.
"And isn't it, my boy or girl,
The wisest, bravest plan,
Whatever comes, or doesn't come,
To do the best you can ?"
— Phcebe Carv.
"Kind words are but the little seeds,
Yet these spring up and bear kind
deeds."
"So nigh is grandeur to the dust,
So near is God to man,
When duty whispers low. Thou
must,'
The youth replies, T can.' "
"My crown is in my heart, not on
my head,
Not decked with diamonds and
India stones.
Nor to be seen ; my crown is called
content,
A crown it is, that seldom kings
enjoy."
"I pray the prayer of Plato old,
Go<l make thee beautiful within.
And let thine eyes the good behold
In everything save sin."
WlIITTIKR.
Our to-days and yesterdays arc
Ihc blocks with which we build." —
LoN(iFELLOW.
"The chief want in life is sonic-
lx)dy who will make us do the best
we can." — Emerson.
"I live for those who love me,
For those who know me true,
For the heaven that smiles above
mc
And awaits my spirit, too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
Against the wrongs that need re-
sistance,
For the future in the distance.
And the good that I can do."
"One day at a time. It's a
wholesome rhyme ; a good one to
live by, a day at a time." — H. H.
Jackson.
"The world is happy.
The world is wide.
Kind hearts are beating
On every side."
— Lowell.
"If a string is in a knot.
Patience will untie it :
Patience can do many things,
Did you ever try it?
If 'twas sold at any shop
I should like to buy it,
But you and I must find our own,
No other can supply it."
"Howe'er it be, it seems to me,
'Tis only noble to be good ;
Kind hearts are more than coro-
nets.
And simple faith than Norman
blood."
— Alfred Tennyson.
Speak the truth !
Speak it boldly, never fear ;
Speak it so that all may hear;
In the end it shall appear.
Truth is best in age and youth.
S|)cak the truth !
Speak the truth !
Truth is beautiful and brave,
.Strong to bless, and strong t(^ save,
I'^alschood is a coward knave ;
I'Vom it turn thv steps in youth —
Follow truth !
MEMORY SELECTIONS.

"Do not think of your faults ;
still less of others' faults; in every
person who comes near you, look
for what is good and strong ; honor
that ; rejoice in it ; and, as you can,
try to imitate it; ard your faults
will drop ofif like dead leaves, when
the time comes." — Ruskin.
Loving Jesus, meek and mild,
Look on me, a little child.
Make me gentle as Thou art,
Come and live within my heart.
Take my childish hand in Thine ;
Guide these little feet of mine.
So shall all my happy days
Sing their pleasant songs of praise.
— Charles Wesley.
''Kindness is the music of good
will to men, and on this harp the
smallest fingers may plav Heaven's
sweetest tunes on earth."
"Do not look for wrong and evil,
You will find them if you do;
As you measure for your neighbor
He will measure back to you."
"Whatever mine ears can hear.
Whatever mine eyes can see
In nature, so bright with beauty
and light.
Has a message of love for me."
"Come, my love, and do not spurn
From a little flower to learn ;
Let your temper be as sweet
As the lily at your feet :
Be as gentle, be as mild.
Be a modest, simple child."
"If it drizzles and pours,
Is that any reason
The weather indoors
Should be dull, like the season ?
There is something makes bright
The cloudiest places ;
Can you guess? 'Tis the light
Of the smiles on your faces."
HOW TO BE HAPPY.
Are you almost disgusteo
With life, little man?
I will tell you a wonderful trick
That will bring you contentment
if anything can —
Do something for somebody,
quick ;
Do something for somebody,
quick !
Are you awfully tired
With play, little girl?
Weary, discouraged and sick?
I'll tell you the loveliest game in
the world —
Do something for somebody,
quick ;
Do something for somebody^
quick !
Though it rains like the rain
Of the flood, little man,
And the clouds are forbidding and
thick,
You can make the sun shine in
your soul, little man —
Do something for somebody,
quick !
Do something for somebody,
quick !
Though the skies are like brass
Overhead, little girl,
And the walk like a well-heated
brick ;
And are earthly affairs in a ter-
rible whirl?
Do something for somebody,
quick :
Do something for somebody,
quick !

XoTE. — The teacher of the very little children will find that motion exercises,
finger plays, etc., are useful allies in her work — furnishing an outlet for the sur-
plus energy of the restless little ones, as well as helping to impress a truth. Often
a song or exercise which calls for cooperation and unity of interest will divert
impending disorder and restore attention. It is better to command with "Let
us'' than "Do not" in this grade.
'Let US all stand up together
And clap our hands for joy,
(Clap on 'clap/ 'hands' and
'joy.')
Now we'll all sit down together,
Each little girl and boy.

"Here we stand like a row of trees
(Stand straight and tall.)
With branches pointing high
(Stretch arms up.)
And leaves that flutter in the
breeze
(Flutter fingers.)
Under the bright blue sky.
The birds are flying in and out,
(Wave arms like wings.)
Busy as they can be.
Do you wonder what they're
about ?
Peep through the leaves and see.
(Peep through fingers.)
Look ! they have made a nice soft
nest,
(Lock fingers, hold hands
down like a nest.)
So cozy and snug and warm,
Where baby birds may safely rest
Away from any harm.
We'll leave them in the tree above
Safe in the Father's care.
We'll sit and think about God's
love
(All sit down quietly.)
That's with us everywhere."
(Silence.)
Quieting Exercise.
OUR DOORS.
Some noisy little doors have we
(Lips.)
Where words go in and out,
But we can find a little key
To lock them very tight.
Hold up your longest finger now
And place it here this way.
(On lips.)
We'll fasten up the little doors
And not a word we'll say.

I
FOR A RAINY DAY.
(When the attendance will probably
be small.)
Let some of the children sit on
the floor and tap softly on the seats
of the chairs, while others stand
and sing:
^'Little raindrops, little raindrops,
O where do you come from ?
As you patter, pitter, patter,
Down upon the window pane?
(Those tapping may answer :)
We come from the Father,
Who watches in heaven
And sends at the right time
Cool showers of rain."

to Make up His jewels.")

And now we'll raise them high,

Inviting all to come
Within the loving circle

Of this our Sabbath home."

SONG: "I LOVE THE
CHURCH."
(Tune, ^'Ortonville." or any C. M.)
I love the church, the house of Cod,
The Sunday-school so dear,
Where we may sing our songs of
praise
And speak to God in prayer.
We hear sweet <^torics from His
Word,
W^e bring Him gifts of love;
We learn of Jesus Christ, our Lord,
And God our Father above.

A PRACTICAL COURSE ON MISSIONS
FOR THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL
Every Sunday-school interested in Mis-
sions will be glad to learn that there has
just been issued by the Heidelberg Press
an excellent Course on Missions, called
Supplemental Lessons on
Missions
For the Junior Grade of the Sunday-School
{Adapted to use as Haud-.votk)
By Rev. F. W. BALD, B. D.
Here is a definite course of lessons extend-
ing over 12 consecutive Sundays, which
deal in a simple and practical way with our
own denominational missionary work at
home and abroad. The lessons are brief,
supposed to occupy about 10 minutes.
In addition to the printed subject mat-
ter, the little booklet has two blank pages
for each lesson. Upon one page the stor\-
is to be written in the scholar's own word.>.
On the other page the lesson is to be illus-
trated by pictures of our missionary work,
which accompany each booklet. This book-
let is just the thing our Sunday-schools ha\ e
been looking for.
The small cost places it within the reach
of every school.
Price ^ 15 cents.
