In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for tb
Southern District of New York.
PREFACE.
'T,HIS little book is designed to meet the wants felt in many Sunday-
schools of having, instead of an accumulation of Song Books, Cat-
echisms, Question Books, etc., a single inexpensive volume which shall
contain a variety of materials needed in the general exercises of the school.
It is hoped that it will also, as a practical manual and guide, afford assist-
ance to those who are organizing new schools, and especially in the for-
mation and conduct of mission-schools. Many who would like to under-
take such work hesitate for want of experience and for not knowing "how
to begin." We hope that they will find here, in some measure, the di-
rection and assistance they need.
We trust, too, that the "Welcome" will find its way into many homes
where few or no privileges of public worship and religious instruction
are enjoyed, and there be a messenger of love and truth from the "Holy
city, which descends out of Heaven from God."
It will be understood, of course, that this book is not intended to cover
ally but only some general needs of the school. Special books of instruc-
tion should be provided for the several classes in the grades of their re-
spective advancement, such as Lessons on the Lord's Prayer, on the Ten
Commandments, and other Biblical and doctrinal text-books.
For the musical part of the "Welcome" we are very largely indebted
to Mr. George F. Root, by whom a great number of the tunes are com-

posed, and to his fellow-compilers of the beautiful series of " Song-Birds "
and the "Chapel Gems." Our thanks are also due to the authors and
proprietors of the pieces on pages 53, 62, 66, 68, and 72, for their kind
permission to use them in this work.
The Catechism is that known, and already, to some extent, in use in
this country, as the "Child's First Catechism" — prepared by the New
Church Conference in England.
We call our little book the "Welcome," because we hope that, like
a good angel standing at the gate of the New Jerusalem, it may give a
friendly greeting and happy reception to many little children, who, by
its means, shall learn to love and do the commandments of God, and
thus "enter in, through the gates, into the city."
F. S.
Glendale, O., Sept., 1868.
Note — In mentioning certain books of instruction in the "Sugges-
tions," page 2, Second Part, it is not intended to recommend these books
especially in preference to others, but only to indicate the kind of in-
struction suitable for this part of the school exercises. To the books
there mentioned we may add the following, which have lately appeared at
the Publishing House, — The Child's True Christian Religion ; A Catechism
on the Lord's Prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Perry ; My Little Guide, a book of
verses and questions for little children.

Be with us, Lord, thro' life, and then Take us to Thee in H eav - en blest.

The floating cloud, the de^p blue sky,
The glorious morn, the day ;
The failing leaf, the zephyr's sigh,
The twilight shadows *rey :
The bright-winged warblers of the grove,
Thu forest's solemn pray'r,
All whisper of our Father's love,
His tender, watchful care.
3. His love is Love Divine, and far
Exceeds our highest thought;
His wisdom beams on high, a star
Is from its radiance wrought:
The Star of Bethlehem appears,
To light tlie darkened way
Of millions, once in grief and tears,
To immortality.

Discord sure must cease;
Who dare hate his brother
On this day of peace?
While the heav'ns are telling
To mankind good will,
Only love and kindness
Every bosom fill.

To the angel band,
Wish this morning's sunshine
Bright in every land.
Word, and deed, and prayer
Speed the grateful sound,
Telling " Merry Christmas"
All the world around.

END OF THE MUSICAL PART.
SUGGESTIONS
REGARDING THE MANNER OF CONDUCTING THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL.
Behavior.— Every thing in the Sunday-school, whether in the order of exercises,
or in the teacher's influence and example, or in the rules of conduct, should tend
to the cultivation of reverence and obedience in the child. No loud talking or bois-
terous behavior should ever be permitted in the Sunday-school room. If a child
comes late, he should know that his tardy entrance disturbs all the others. No
introductory exercises should be made use of as mere pastimes in the school to ac-
commodate late-comers. Such a practice only cultivates in the children a careless
disregard of rules and regulations, and destroys the solemn, religious impressions
of the opening worship.
The Assembling.— -It is desirable that on first assembling the whole school
should, as far as practicable, be seated in one body, and not in separate classes, the
opening exercises being those not of instruction but of united worship. Let the
smaller children occupy the front seats, the larger ones being ranged in the seats
behind, according to their sizes. The assistant teachers should have their regular
seats among the children, and should see to the children's being properly seated,
to finding their places in the Book, and otherwise keeping them in order and in
readiness for the opening of the school by the superintendent or leader.
The Opening1.— The duty and habit of looking to the Lord and asking his bless-
ing at the beginning of whatever we undertake will be inculcated in the minds of
the children by our beginning the school at once— or after an opening hymn— and
the uttering of the Invitation, " Oh, come, let us worship," etc., by all kneeling
down and uniting, with one voice, in the Lord's Prayer ; after which may follow
the responsive reading or singing of the Word ; then a Hymn of Praise ; and then
some brief instruction addressed to the whole school, or some common exercise in the
catechism or questions in some passage of the Word. The worship and common
lesson being thus concluded, the children now separate into their proper classes
under their respective teachers.
The Classes.— The classes are graded according to the age and capacity of tne
children. As many as ten or twelve children may be in one class. When there are
too few in a class, the interest flags and the lesson becomes wearisome. About half
an hour may be used in the class instruction. A part of this time should be used in
training the class to recite in concert the answers in the catechism, or, when this is
well learned, in repeating a psalm, or some other verses from the Word. The
teacher should question the children familiarly about the meaning of every thing
they recite. In infant classes a part of the time may be used in reading or telling
a carefully selected story which shall convey a good and wholesome lesson; also in
2 SUGGESTIONS.
Bhowing pictures illustrating the Bible, and asking questions about them. A series
of text-books should be used in regular progression by the successive classes, and
the children be thus enabled to constantly go forward from one grade of lessons to
a higher.
The Catechism.— The catechism should be learned by all alike, old and young,
being the first thing taught to every new-comer. The little children should learn
it, by rote, one question at a time. The whole school should reoite the catechism
in concert as often as once a month. It would be well to make it the regular open-
ing lesson for the whole school the first Sunday of every month. Great pains should
be taken by the teachers in training the school to repeat the words distinctly,
slowly, and loud enough to be heard by all, and in a rythmical and pleasing man-
ner. The children should be taught to revere the Word and its truths, by uttering
carefully and reverently their recitations.
Other Class-Lessons. — Besides the common training in the catechism, which
older classes will soon have completed, the instruction of the separate classes may
include the study of Bible-lessons, with the aid of maps and other illustrations;
questions and answers on doctrinal subjects; the" Larger. Catechism with Scripture
Proofs;" the "Familiar Lessons for Sunday -Schools; " the "Doctrinal Class-
Book;" " Illustrations of Scripture;" and the reading of some of the Writings of
the Church, in course, from Sunday to Sunday, especially the " Four Leading Doc-
trines," the "True Christian Religion," and " Heaven and Hell."
The Closing1.— The class-lessons being ended, the school comes together again in
one body and all unite in singing such chants, hymns, or sacred songs as the time
permits, concluding with the Dismissal Hymn, beginning " O most Merciful," page
25. Then let the children retire in an orderly procession, the little ones going before,
led by their teachers, the older ones following in order. One child in each class
or row of seats is appointed to see that the books are all neatly put away, the chairs,
etc., arranged, so that the school-room, when left, is in perfect order and ready for
the next time, or for any other service that may be held there. Work of this kind
in the Sunday-school is to be regarded as a privilege, and will be cheerfully done
by the children, who will at the same time learn habits of order, and feel the more
interested in ttieir school.
A. FORM FOR CONDUCTING THR
CHILDREN'S WOKS HI P.
Tf The children being all seated in one body, an opening hymn [page 10 to 19] may
be sung. The Leader then says, the whole school rising promptly :
O come let us worship and bow down :
Children. Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
Leader. For he is our God:
Children. And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of
his hand.
^[ All "kneel down and say together aloud.
Our Father who art in the heavens, hallowed be thy Name. Thy
kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so also upon the
earth. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts,
as we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever. Amen.
The Leader. O Lord, open thou our lips :
Children. And our mouths shall show forth thy praise.
Here all stand up.
The Leader. Praise ye the Lord.
Children. The Lord's Name be praised.
All chant together the following Doxology : [Music on page 80.]
To Jesus Christ the Lord be glory | and do- | minion :
For- | ever and | ever. A- | men.
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,
the | First and the | Last:

Tf Then the School repeats or chants with the Leader, or else by Divisions, in after*
nate verses, one of the following or other Psalms. Those too young to read
may learn the Psalm by rote and repeat it with the others.
Psalm 1.
1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the un-
godly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
the scornful:
2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.
3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season ; his leaf also shall not wither ;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4. The ungodly are not so ; but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.
5. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way
the ungodly shall perish.
Psalm 8.
1. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth !
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy
and the avenger.
3. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers; the
moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained ;
4. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of
man, that thou visitest him?
5. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honor.
PSALMS FOR RESPONSIVE READING. 5
6. Thou raadest him to have dominion over the works of thy
hands ; thou hast put all things under his feet.
7. All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field ;
8. The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever pass-
eth through the paths of the seas.
9. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth !
Psalm 19.
1. The heavens declare the glory of God ; and the firmament shew-
eth his handy work.
2. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.
3. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to
the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5. Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and re-
joiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it : and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul : the testi-
mony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart ; the com-
mandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever : the judgments
of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine
gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned : and in keeping of
them there is great reward.
12. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret
faults.
6 PSALMS FOR RESPONSIVE READING.

not have dominion over me : then shall I be upright, and I shall be
innocent from the great transgression.
14. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 23.
1. The Lord is my shepherd ; I shall not want.
2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures : he leadeth me
beside the still waters.
3. He restoreth my soul : he leadeth me in the paths of righteous-
ness for his name's sake.
4. 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.
5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine ene-
mies : thou anointest my head with oil ; my cup runneth over.
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life : and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 67.
1. God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to
shine upon us.
2. That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health
among all nations.
3. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
thee.
4. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for thou shalt judge
the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

thee.

shalt thou trust ; his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the
arrow that flieth by day;
6. Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness ; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right
hand ; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of
the wicked.
9. Because thou hast made the Lord which is my refuge, even
the Most High, thy habitation ;
10. There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling.
11. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in
all thy ways.
12. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy
foot against a stone.

Spirit, Son,'1 071 yage 20, or else some other suitable Hymn of praise.
The school being seated, the leader may read a passage from the Word presenting
a single precept, parable, miracle, or other interesting narrative, and question the
children on what has been read. Or he may give them some other short instruction
addressed to the whole school alike. On the first Sunday of each month, let the
whole school recite the catechism through in concert. The general instruction being
ended, another hymn may be sung (if there be time), and then the children go to
their respective classes for their class lessons. These being ended, the school assem-
bles again in one body, and a number of chants, hymns, or sacred songs are sung
according as the time permits, closing always with the dismissal hymn, "O most
Merciful," etc., page 25.

things.
Q. By what other names is our Father in heaven called?

heaven when I die.
Q. Do all people go to heaven when they die?
A. Only those who are good.

ever.

THE CATECHISM. 13
and to grow better ; I must always speak the truth, obey my parents,

Q. How are you to learn what is your duty ?
A. I must read the Word of God, and do what it tells me, and try
to be as useful as I can.

with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."
Q. What must you do to show that you love God ?
A. I must shun every thing that is wrong, because it is a sin
against God ; and I must do every thing that is right, because it is
pleasing to Him.
Q. You said the Bible teaches you your duty to your neighbor;
who is your neighbor?
A. Every one ; but, most of all, those to whom I can be kind and
useful.
Q. What is your duty to your neighbor ?
A. The Lord teaches us in the Bible, " Thou shalt love thy neigh-
bor as thyself."

14 THE CATECHISM.
fore me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven
image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven
above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth : thou shalt not bow down thy-
self to them nor serve them : for I the Lord thy God
am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children unto the third and fourth generation
of them that hate me ; and showing mercy unto thou-
sands of them that love me and keep my command-
ments.
II. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy
God in vain : for the Lord will not hold him guiltless
that taketh His name in vain.
III. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work : but
the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God :
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son,
nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-serv-
ant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy
gates : for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh
day : wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
IV. Honor thy father and thy mother : that thy days
may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee.
THE CATECHISM. 15
Y. Thou shalt not kill.
VI. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
VII. Thou shalt not steal.
VIII. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
neighbor.

man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his
ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
Q. Can you keep these commandments?
A. Not without the Lord's help ; but He has promised to help me,
if I ask Him.
Q. How should you ask Him to help you?
A. By praying to Him.
Q. When ought you to pray to the Lord?
A. Every morning and evening, and whenever else I need His
help.
Q. What ought you to say when you pray?
A. The best prayer is the Lord's Prayer.
Q. Let me hear you say it.
OUR Father who art in the heavens, hallowed be thy
Xame. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this day
our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also
forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation ;
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
18 THE CATECHISM.

Savior."

born as a little child, and was named Jesus Christ ; He suffered, was
crucified, rose from the dead, and is " over all, God blessed for ever-
more."
Q. Then to whom ought we to pray ?

is the everlasting Father, " the First and the Last, the Almighty."
OF THE SACRED SCRIPTURE.
Q. What is that book called, which contains the words of the
Lord?
A. The Word of God, The Sacred Scripture, and The Holy Bible.

A. Because God caused the writers to set down exactly what He
told them, so that even the words are holy, because they came from
God.
Q. Whom is the Bible intended to teach ?
A. Men, women, and children on earth, and also the angels hi
heaven.
THE CATECHISM. 17
Q. For what purpose was it given ?
A. To teach us what is the will of the Lord, what we ought to do;
and how we ought to live, and to tell us about heaven.
Q. Is it not your duty, then, to read and understand it?
A. Yes ; I ought to read some of it every day, and ask the Lord
to help me to understand it, as well as to help me to do what it tells
me.
Q. What are the chief truths of faith taught you in the Bible ?
A. They are these :
1. That God is one, in whom is a Divine Trinity,
and that He is the Lord God and Savior Jesus
Christ.
2. That a saving faith is to believe on Him.
3. That evil actions ought not to be done, because
they are of the devil, and from the devil.
4. That good actions ought to be done, because they
are of God, and from God.
5. And that they should be done by man as of him-
self; nevertheless under this belief, that they are from
the Lord, operating with him and by him.

34 THE TEN BLESSINGS AND GOLDEN RULE.
THE TEN BLESSINGS.
Matt, v: 3-12.
Blessed are the poor in spirit ; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn ; for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek ; for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness;
for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful ; for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart ; for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peace-makers ; for they shall be called the children
of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice and be exceeding glad ; for great is your reward in heaven.
THE GOLDEN RULE.
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye
even so to them ; for this is the law and the prophets. — Matt, vii : 12.
